D.Answer the questions
Have you ever recycled To recycle is to take rubbish and make it into something new.Recycling is good for our planet because it makes junk into something that we can use again. Recycling also helps to clean up the litter that makes our streets look dirty.
All kinds of things can be recycled. The most common materials like glass, plastic, paper, metals, cloth are all recyclable. Sometimes these products are broken down to make the same kinds of products(产品). An example of this type of recycling is using paper to make more paper.Rubbish can also be broken down to make completely new items as well!
Some items,like glass,can be recycled forever! We can use glass items,then break them down and use them again and again. Aluminum(铝)cans are one of the most successful recycled metals. They can be recycled again and again and nearly 60% of all aluminum cans have been recycled.
The average family of four can produce nearly 2,000 pounds of rubbish each year. As time goes on, we have fewer places to put all of this rubbish in. Recycling is one way to limit（限制）the amount of rubbish we need to put into the land.
The next time you toss a can or bottle into the rubbish can, look to see if there is a recycling triangle on the label. It is the international sign for recycling. It means that the item you are going to throw in the dustbin could be recycled.
