The United Nations (UN) predicts（预估）there will be 9.6 billion people on the earth by 2050. And the rubbish we make will be a big problem for the environment. There is only one earth, so everything we do should be good for it. Some daily things seem to be small but are very important. Now we will show you some small things that you thought were not bad, or even good, but are actually terrible for the earth.

Eating too much meat. Although meat is necessary for us, it is not good for the environment. According to the recent report, meat industry（产业）has taken 75% to 80% of the world’s farmland. But if people use the same land for growing vegetables, there could be more food for another 4 billion people.

Using paper bags. We think paper bags are made of paper, so they don’t pollute the earth as plastic（塑料）bags do. In fact, the truth is not just like what we think. People hardly reuse them. To make a paper bag, the resources（资源）used are four times more than those used for a plastic bag. So, it’s better for us to use long-lasting, washable and reusable（可重复使用的）bags made from plants.

Drinking plastic bottled water. Plastic bottles are an example of environmental pollution. According to Greenpeace, it will take about 500 years to clear them out. The only environment-friendly way is to use reusable glass bottles.

These things are really small, maybe most of you don’t care about them, but they are changing our earth slowly. So if we want to leave a greener earth for future children, we must make some small changes in our daily life.

26. How many small things does the writer mention in the passage?

A. Two　　 B. Three　　 C. Four　　 D. Five

27. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refers to “______”.

A. the earth　　 B. the UN　　 C. the big problem　　 D. the small things

28. If we want to leave a greener earth for future children, it’s better for us to ______.
