17、en you hear the word “recycling, what comes to your mind? The color green or global warming? What if I were to tell you there is a dark side of recycling? A type of recycling that does more than good. The dark side of recycling has nothing to do with the environment but rather has a lot to do with t

18、he recycling of ideas. Environmental unrest isnt the only trouble we must face. Idea pollution is quickly becoming widespread across the online world. Think about it. When was the last time you read an original blog post? Im guessing it has been quite a while. Why do you think top bloggers(博主) of to

19、day win so much respect? Do you think they recycle their ideas? With each recycled idea the online world becomes much more polluted.

25、 call on people to write online more creatively instead of repeatingD When most people think of giant pandas, the pictures of the cute, black-and-white bears from China that eat bamboo will immediately jump into their mind. Scientists from Mississippi State University, however, are interested in wha

26、t the bears leave behind: their poop(排泄物). At a recent meeting in Denver, Professor Brown at the university presented her research showing how panda poop could inspire a new way to obtain energy from plants, which are a renewable energy source. Usually, plants can be called biomass(有机燃料) when they a

27、re used as an energy source. Burning biomass is one way to capture its energy, but Brown hopes panda poop can teach scientists something about breaking down biomass. Pandasor at least the bacteria in their stomachsare very good at getting energy out of bamboo. Unlike cows, which use 4 stomachs to di

28、gest large amounts of grass, a panda has only one stomach. Bamboo comes in, and poop goes out. Every day for 14 months, Brown and her team on this project, counted the bacteria in the poop of the two pandas, YaYa and LeLe living at the Memphis Zoo. Her studies turned up 12 species of bacteria that b

29、reak down biomass, including one that had never been found in pandas. Brown says that because the poop contains bacteria that break down biomass, it could also be used to break down other types of biomass. Now the scientists hope to identify the chemicals that help with the process of breaking down

30、biomass and then figure out how the bacteria work. If those chemicals can be made in the lab, they could be used to turn biomasslike grass or other plantsinto fuel. Brown says she doesnt mind handling panda poop. “Its probably the most pleasant material to work with, she says, “My colleagues and I h

31、ave been working with other poop for a long time, and we can assure you it has a fairly pleasant smell associated with it.53.

35、hey are all important parts of British life. At least I thought so. However, the ability to queue for long periods of time, once believed to be a traditional characteristic of the British, is no longer tolerated by people in the UK, according to a survey done for British bank Barclays. Once upon a t

36、ime, queuing was seen as normal. During World War II, everyone had to queue up to receive their daily supply of foods. In fact, if you didnt stand up and wait in line with all the others, it was seen as uncivilized(不文明的). The famous English double-decker buses, with only one entrance, might also hel

37、p explain why queuing was seen as a part of British line. Almost always, there is a queue to get on. But perhaps the British are tired of being pushed past by the Spanish, the Italians or the French as they queue up to get a table at a restaurant. The people of these other European countries have mo

38、re than one entrance to their houses, which explains their more relaxed attitude to the queue. Two minutes is now the longest time most British people are prepared to stand and wait. But could it be that the Internet, which allows us to carry out tasks quickly, is the main reason why British people

39、are no longer prepared to queue? “Used to buying without delay, customers are even giving up purchases rather than wait their turn, says Stuart Neal of Barclaycard. “Shoppers are also less likely to queue for long if the item they are buying is of low value. Perhaps I will have to replace “queuing w
