The Recycling Center

Students at an elementary school in Chicago studied ecology (生態(tài)學).They learned that there was so much rubbish that it was a world-wide problem. They asked their teacher if they could do something to help solve the problem. “ It is a very big problem.” the teacher said, “but if every community helps, that would really make a difference."

The students decided to set up a program called Saturday Recycling Center. They would collect rubbish and then get it to a place. The students used the Internet to find out more about recycling in Chicago. They found that there are 15 “drop off" places, where people can bring rubbish to get it recycled.

The students had to work out how to get the rubbish to the place. They went to talk with the leader of the church( 教堂) near their school.

They knew that he drove a van. They asked him to help with their plan.

The churchman agreed to help. He said he would pick up the rubbish on the first Saturday of each month. So everything was organized. All the students needed was rubbish to recycle.

The students made posters to put in stores in the neighborhood. The churchman advertised die new recycling program at the church service. The community center put a note about the recycling center in their monthly newsletter. The students went into the other classrooms at their school and asked children to tell their families about the Saturday recycling.

The first Saturday was beyond their expectations. In fact ,they got so many rubbish that the churchman had to make two trips to take it all to the “drop off”place. Now most people in the community know the first Saturday is the time to recycle.

Lockheed Martin, American space system company (空間系統(tǒng)公司) has found a really cool way to inspire the young minds of today to the research fields in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM).

It may look like a normal yellow bus, but all the magic happens once you get inside. Meet the “Mars (火星) Experience Bus,” part of Lockheed Martin’s new “Generation Beyond” national education program to get the kids joining in studying what goes on outside of our home planet. The bus offers a virtual reality (VR, 虛擬現(xiàn)實) experience making the teenagers feel like they are driving on Mars.

The VR experience was developed by taking advantage of software (軟件) created for today’s best video games, so you can imagine the picture shown is top level. The kids do seem really excited to see the bus take a virtual trip on the red planet and search unknown places. It’s certainly a great way of learning about the universe by virtual reality working on a common bus.

The Lockheed Martin’s bus will start a tour in the United States to allow kids from different parts of the country to take a ride in it. The Generation Beyond project also includes an iPhone app for iOS providing real-time information about weather reports for Mars, and there’s also a free deep space course for middle school teachers and students.

There are so many expressions in American English that sound pleasant (令人愉快的)but are not. 1. When someone says they have to "face the music", it does not mean they are going to a concert. "Facing the music" means to accept and deal with the punishment of an action.

2. For example, "I can't face another night of camping! It's cold and rainy." Or "In life, you must face your fears." Face used in this way is very common.But now, let's go back to facing the music. Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her beautiful red sports car. She gives you the keys and says, "Thanks so much for watching my car while I'm away. But please, do not drive it. It is an extremely (極其) fast car." 3. You want to show off to some friends. So, you drive it around town one night. As bad luck would have it, you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign. Bang!

When your friend returns you must tell her what you have done and "face the music". 4. It could be losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her sports car or both. Whatever the music is, you must face it.

5. To "take your medicine" means to accept the results from something bad you have done. And if someone says, "You made your bed. Now lie in it." they mean you created a bad situation and now you will experience the results!

根據(jù)材料內(nèi)容，從下面五個選項中選出能填入文中空缺處的最佳選項，使短文意思通順、內(nèi)容完整，并將其標號填寫在下面題號后的橫線上。

A. But you do not listen.

B. "Face the music" is a good example.

C. The "music" here is the result of your actions.

D. Americans often use the word "face" in this way.

E. There are other American expressions that mean the same thing as "face the music".
