[湖北孝感2023高二期末] A year ago, I decided to create a more environmentally friendly kitchen, focusing on reducing the single-use products such as plastic bags and paper towels. I’m not going to sugarcoat my experience. It takes commitment and willingness to change long-held habits. In creating my kitchen, I tried a lot of different alternative products and some old common sense, and the result has been worth the effort. I’m recycling more and relying less on single-use products and I’m saving money, too.
I’m not kidding when I say that I used to really love plastic storage bags, so this was, perhaps, the biggest challenge for me. Switching to reusable storage bags is a financial investment, but the cost is reasonable considering that I previously spent at least$100 annually on single-use plastic bags and wrap. I will check online regularly for recycling updates, where a zero-waste box for kitchen items is offered, from party supplies to mixed-material food containers.

I’m a clean freak (狂热爱好者) and used to go through an amount of paper towels on a daily basis, but it’s easy enough to cut up some old T-shirts or towels to wipe down surfaces. I’m also a fan of bamboo paper towels, which have the look and feel of traditional paper towels. They are made from a highly renewable source and also break down in just 45 days. Better yet, they can be reused up to 100 times. As for kitchen sponges (海绵块), I keep an eye out for those made with natural and recyclable materials.
When purchasing household items online from companies like Amazon or Jet, I will ask to have them shipped in as few boxes as possible or as small a box as possible if a single item is to be sent. I’ll let the company know that they should pay more attention to how to package items for delivery.

[安徽部分地区2024期中联考] 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Valerie studies at a big university. At the same time, she maintains a full-time job so that she can pay for her tuition and her living expenses. So Valerie spends most of the day at the office, then goes to class three days a week. She also stays up late at night to study for her classes.
Valerie does not do any physical exercise. Between work and university, she is so busy that she thinks she does not have time for any physical activity.
Sadly, she rarely eats home-made meals. She usually just grabs a bag of chips or a hamburger as she leaves her office to take the bus to university. Since she is convinced that she does not have time to make a healthy dinner when she gets home, she eats lots of pizzas that she orders over the phone.
