little effort. It is not hard to place plastic and glass bottles, aluminum cans and paper in a bin.
Anyone can do it.

taking short shower instead of baths, repairing leaky faucets, using the dishwasher or washing
machine only when fully loaded, or simply turning the faucet off while brushing your teeth.

try to use this waste effectively. For example, grass clippings and food scraps can be made into

Question 8: Choose the most suitable answer A, B, C, or D to complete the followingpassage.

Pollution can be seen not only throughout the world, but also in our own homes. It comes
from household chemicals, the amount of water people use and the waste people produce and
 throw away. What can be done to stop this pollution? Surprisingly, a person can help save the
environment by doing simple things.
First, we need to recycle, which allows products to be used over and over again.
Recycling can also reduce the number of trees cut down to produce paper products. It takes very
little effort. It is not hard to place plastic and glass bottles, aluminum cans and paper in a bin.
Anyone can do it.
Second, we need to watch the amount of water used in the home. It can be conserved by
taking short shower instead of baths, repairing leaky faucets, using the dishwasher or washing
machine only when fully loaded, or simply turning the faucet off while brushing your teeth.
Third, we need to reduce waste. We need to recycle whenever possible, but should also
try to use this waste effectively. For example, grass clippings and food scraps can be made into
