Think of all the things you throw away: juice bottles, soda candy covers. It adds up. How much rubbish do you produce? Americans throw away about 1 ton of rubbish per person every year.

That's 2000 pounds of rubbish! Most of the rubbish gets covered in big holes in the round called landfills(垃圾填埋场).

A lot of this rubbish can be recycled, or turned back to something useful. The main things we recycle today are made of metal and paper.

People recycle for many reasons. One of the main reasons is to protect resources(资源). Making new cans out of old ones means less aluminum(铝) is needed for new cans. This leads to a second reason people recycle: it saves energy. Recycling old aluminum cans take much less energy than making new aluminum. To make new aluminum, you need to mine metal ore(矿石) from the ground, remove it, and refine it, into a finished metal. Recycling also protects valuable land. By recycling, we produce less rubbish. That means fewer landfills are needed for dropping our rubbish. Because metals are some what costly to make, they are the world's most recycled materials. About two-thirds of all steel(钢) is recycled.

cans,

Almost all drink cans are made of aluminum. Americans recycle about one-third of their used aluminum cans. Empty cans are sent to special factories. There, they are cleaned, melted, and made into new pieces of aluminum.

Americans use lots of paper — mostly in the form of newspapers, magazines, and cardboard boxes. In fact, paper takes up more space in landfills than any other material. Old paper can be cut and made into new paper. Americans recycle a little more than one-third of their paper rubbish. New papers are made from trees, each ton of recycled paper saves about 17 trees!

For most of human history, people thought the world was flat(平的). That is, they thought that if you traveled far enough in one direction(方向), you would come to the edge of

the world in the end. Then, about two thousand years ago, people started to come up with the idea that the earth was round. This meant that by traveling far enough in a straight line, you would finally come back to where you started.

It wasn't until the sixteenth century that Ferdinand Magellan's exploring team became the first to travel around the world. The exploring team first moved west from Portugal, around South America, across the Pacific, before returning around South Africa back to Portugal. Although Magellan died during the journey, one of his captains, Sebastian del Cano, made it all the way.

In 1872, the French science novel writer Jules Verne wrote a book called Around the World in 80 Days. The novel was about a man who traveled around the world, starting from London, to win a game.

In 1889, an American journalist, Nellie Bly, was sent by her newspaper to follow the journey taken by the characters(人物) in Verne's book. She traveled around the world, sending letters back to her newspaper about her journey. She finally arrived back home after her trip, taking 72 days, six hours, eleven minutes, and fourteen seconds to go around the world.

Even though traveling around the world these days is very easy, and can be done in one or two days by plane, people are still interested in breaking records(纪录). From 1970 to 1974, an American, Dave Kunst, was the first person to walk all the way around the world. He wore out twenty-one pairs of shoes on his trip! The first airplane flight around the world took place in 1924, done by Lt. Lowell H. Smith and five other Americans, and the first solo helicopter(直升机) flight around the world was done by an Australian explorer, Dick Smith, in 1982-83.

As for a nonstop balloon(气球) flight all the way around the world, this wasn't done until 2002, when Steve Fossett finally succeeded after many tries. 81. Who first said that the world was NOT flat?

A. Ferdinand Magellan. B. Nellie Bly.

C. Jules Verne. D. The passage doesn't say. 82. In the sixteenth century ________.

A. Ferdinand Magellan first tried to reach the world’s edge
