going zero waste started when the town built a new incinerator 20 years ago.But almostimmediately,the incinerator was determined to be a health risk due to the poisonous gases when garbage wasburned in it.It was too expensive to send waste to other towns,so locals had to come up with a new plan.Thenthe Zero Waste Academy was born,which helped perform this plan.Now Kamikatsu people separate their waste into 45 different categories.But in the beginning,it wasnt easyto convince local people to do all this work,and there was somepushback.Only after that initial education perioddid most residents come on board.This is all great news for waste reduction of course,but it has also had some unexpected social benefits aswell.Like much of Japan,Kamikatsus population is aging,and about 50 percent of the locals are elderly.The factthat the whole community takes their trash in to be recycled has created a local action and interaction betweengenerations.That idea has been purposefully expanded to include a circular shop where household goods are dropped offand others can take them,and a tableware library where people can borrow extra cups,glasses,silverware andplates for celebrations.The elderly see this not as a waste-collection service,but an opportunity to socialize with the youngergeneration and to chat.When we visit them,they prepare lots of food and we stay with them for a while,we askhow they are,Sakano,the founder of the Zero Waste Academy,said.Sakanos ideas are truly revolutionary if you think about it.Shes proving that community can be foundthrough handling the

you are responsible!Whether we consider changes in grammar,spelling,pronunciation,or the very vocabulary of the language,you have played your part and continue to do so.When we first learned basic grammar and spelling,perhaps in elementary school,we might have gotten theimpression that these things were sacred.The rules that apply to such things might have been presented asunchanging and unchangeable.While this way might be helpful for teaching children,it is far from accurate.The English language,like many others,is a living,growing,ever-evolving thing.Like it or not,you areinvolved in this change.These changes take many forms.Grammar and spelling have changed greatly over theyears and centuries,with the spelling differences in different countries today a reflection of this.While thelanguage of a thousand years ago might be called English,most of us would hardly recognize it today as the samelanguage.The first involves changes in the pronunciation of words.Many are familiar with the differences between theBritish and American ways of pronouncing certain words.In addition to these differences,the pronunciation ofmany words has changed over the years because of how you have decided to pronounce them.For example,consider the word err.The traditional pronunciation of this word rhymes with the word her.Older dictionariesshow this to be the primary or only pronunciation.However,in recent years,more and more people have beenpronouncing it so that it sounds like air.Another change in the language involves the addition and removal ofwords.The makers of dictionaries decide which words deserve to be officially adopted as part of the Englishlanguage.Through the centuries,many words have come from other languages.In fact,English has probably donethis more than any other language in the world,which is why spelling and pronunciation rules for English have somany exceptions.Of course,many slang words have been just short-lived fashions that have died out quickly.Others,though,have been adopted by mainstream society and become respectable,as have many technical terms.So thenremember,the next time you repeat the newest expression to hit the street,or make up your own words,you maybe contributing to the future of the English language.12.When we begin to learn English,we think _.A.it is interesting to pick up a new languageB.English rules are wrongly presented in factC.grammar and spelling rules are unchangeableD.only adults have the ability to affect a language13.From paragraph 3 we can know that_.A.we can change the English
