UNIT 8 课时检测(八) Writing Workshop Ⅰ.阅读理解 I live in London now. Last year, I decided to take a break and do some traveling.During my travel, I saw a lot of plastic waste in the ocean, and started wondering what I could do about it.I reused my bamboo bike, which I'd made at the Bamboo Bicycle Club in Hackney, to float on the Thames and collect plastic on the river. On September 18, I started my journey at the source of the Thames in Lechlade.Every day was different and the first was the worst.It was raining hard and when I tried to put the bamboo bike in the water, the weight of it turned the whole thing over.I thought: This is it — the project is over! But after a good hour I managed to get it out. I had two fishing nets that I filled up every day with plastic, and I couldn't even collect everything because some bits were hidden under a forest of seagrass.I also took pictures and geotagged them, to map which parts of the river were the most polluted.Oxford was particularly bad, with a lot of takeaway boxes, bottles, DVDs and even some chicken breasts still in the plastic bags. My journey taught me the hard way that cleaning up the river is not going to solve the problem.We need to target the root cause: the buying of plastic.I'm thinking of running some activities in London and trying to make them spread quickly, like filling up a London bus with plastic bottles to represent how much plastic waste is produced every minute in London. I want to show people how plastic is affecting us: how some of it even comes back into our bodies via microplastics (塑料微粒) in fish or salt.I know you can't totally cut out the use of plastic, just like that, but I'd like people to think twice before buying their next bottle of water.Every step helps. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者休假旅行途中看到海洋上漂浮着很多塑料垃圾，于是开始骑着自己的竹制自行车在泰晤士河上捡塑料垃圾，保护环境的故事。 1．Why did the author make use of the bamboo bike again? A．It's comfortable to ride. B．It can float on the water. C．It can be used for exercise. D．It won't pollute
