VII Read the passage and choose the best answer for the questions.(4pts)

Plastic is a material we use every day The first plastics were made more than 100 years ago from parts of plants Plastics are now made from oil, coal and natural gas We are using up these things so fast that the Earth's supplies may run out Because of this, scientists are investigating new ideas for making plastics from plants such as sweet potato, bamboo and flax

Things made from plastic can be useful for people but bad for the planet Some

plastics can last for a long time without wearing out, and can be difficult to get rid of

when they are not needed They can remain in rubbish dumps for hundreds of years

Recycling is a good way to solve the problems of unwanted plastics Recycled waste materials can be used again to make new products This can be difficult as different types of plastic need to be recycled in different ways Some kinds of plastics can be melted down and used to make new things such as bags and bottles Others can

be made into fibres for clothing

Another way to protect the environment is to use canvas bags for shopping instead of plastic ones A lot of plastic objects can also be reused Plastic bottles can be

refilled many times, rather than thrown away once they are empty Unwanted plastic

goods such as CDs and toys can be sold or given away to charity shops
