People all around the world want to taste it. It also has different meanings in different places: In some cultures, lobster is seen as a symbol of long life because of its curved （弯曲的）back while in others it stands for power because of its hard shell (壳).

In Petaluma, California, US, to-go drinks are now served in a type of purple cup. Each cup has a QR code (二维码). More than 60 special bins (桶) have been set up around the city to collect these cups. Workers will come later to clean them and send them back to shops for reuse, reported CBS News. The city-wide project is the first of its kind in the US. It aims to stop the use of disposable (一次性的) cups, which have been around since the early 1900s. Before the invention of disposable cups, people shared wooden (木制的) or metal (金属的) cups for drinking. Lawrence Luellen, a lawyer (律师) in Boston, US, was worried about the spread of germs (细菌的传播). So he invented a disposable “Health Cup” made of paper in 1907. It quickly caught on, especially after the serious Spanish flu (西班牙流感) in 1918. Disposable cups are common. Today’s disposable cups also have polystyrene (聚苯乙烯) in them. This type of plastic (塑料) helps keep the drinks warm. However, it takes about 500 years to completely break up（分解）. Every year, people in the US throw away 50 billion single-use cups, according to The Guardian（卫报）. This is bad for our planet. For example, polystyrene turns into small pieces with time. Animals may eat them and get hurt. Since its start on Aug 1, the purple cup project in Petaluma has received wide attention. More than 30 businesses have joined in, including Starbucks and Coca-Cola. They are tracing (追踪) the QR codes on the cups to see how many of them are being reused. The project will end in November. What comes next depends on how it goes, reported The Guardian. Choose the answer: 25. What is the project in Petaluma mainly about? A. Adding QR codes to disposable cups. B. Serving to-go drinks in reusable cups. C. Setting up special bins for paper cups. D. Producing all paper cups in purple. 26. Why did Lawrence Luellen invent the disposable "Health Cup'? A. To prevent the spread of germs. B. To save wood and metal resources. C. To remind people to drink healthy drinks. D. To make people's lives more convenient. 27. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A. Disposable cups are made from various materials. B. Disposable cups have many advantages. C. Disposable cups cause environmental problems. D. Disposable cups won't harm our health. 28. What can we infer about the project from the passage? A. The project is a total success. B. Its results are yet to be seen. C. People don't fully support it. D. More cities will join it in the future. 【参考答案】 25-28 BACB Word Collection： 1.reuse v./n.再利用；再使用 reusable adj.可重复使用的 2.project n.项目；计划 3.lawyer n.律师 law n.法律 4.catch on 变得流行 catch up with 追上；赶上 catch fire 着火 5.break up 分手；分解；解散；打碎 break down （汽车、机器等）出故障；分解；情绪崩溃 break out （疾病、灾害等）突然爆发；出现 6.throw away 扔掉；丢弃 7.turn/change into 变成；转变成 8.receive v. 收到；接收 9.business n.商业，买卖，生意；商务；事务 10.disposable adj.一次性的；用完即丢的 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
