一、完形填空。
Plastic straws are widely used in our daily life. They’re so 1 that people throw them everywhere. 2 , they can’t be recycled. So every year we have a large number of plastic straws to clean.
Milo Cress, a boy of 9 years old, started a campaign(运动) called Be Straw Free in America. “Every day, Americans 3 500 million plastic straws,” he said.
“This seemed like a huge 4 .” Cress started asking restaurants to stop providing straws. Many agreed and soon more restaurants joined in. 5 some people still need to use straws—some don’t want soft drinks to damage(破坏) their teeth, others may have special illness. “We do not ask people to 6 using straws,” said Cress.
“We encourage people to choose other reusable materials that are 7 harmful to the environment, wildlife and humans. A disabled man wrote to tell me he carried reusable straws with 8 —they are made of steel(钢).”
The campaigns of plastic straws soon came to the UK. Last year, large pub chain(连锁酒吧) Wetherspoons decided to use paper straws instead of plastic ones.
9 a survey, this will save 70 million plastic straws a year. After that, many smaller pub chains 10 the country followed. “I think it’s much more important to encourage people to make the choice not to use them,” said Cress. “Forcing people to do things is not always the best way to make a change.”
