Understanding the link between a clean environment and human life is not a new concept. In fact, it was noticed as early as ancient Rome. Today we see how green living has infiluenced our everyday lives. There is a growing community of people who embrace a zero waste lifestyle and make changes to the way they live to reduce their carbon footprint.
Living a zero waste lifestyle means doing one’s best to achieve the aim of not sending anything to a landfill. People who adopt this lifestyle ultimately cut down on their waste by reducing what they need and want. They reuse what they own, sending few things to be recycled.
Many people who adopt the zero waste lifestyle claim to be frustrated by the many harmful chemical substances found in beauty and cleaning products. They also find the uses of disposable items and excessive packaging. For example, how many times have we had to peel away layers of plastic wrap and cardboard before finally taking out the item which we had bought? Instead of buying pre-packed food and goods, those who identify with the zero waste philosophy tend to shop in stores that allow them to make purchases and bring their own cloth bags and glass jars to store their purchases.
Many people may have the misconception that it is easier to live a zero waste lifestyle in the West.
Nevertheless, Malaysian environmental journalist, Ms. Aurora Tin, has proven that a zero waste lifestyle is possible even in the Asian context. Instead of going to the supermarket to buy pre-packaged foods, Ms. Tin now visits the wet market and brings her own bags for vegetables. She has even stopped using store-bought toothpaste and makes her own toothpaste from coconut oil and baking soda. This lifestyle may be too big a change for the average person, but we could follow her suit to make gradual changes to our own lives.
8. Which of the following is a zero waste lifestyle?
A. Bringing a resuable container to take away food.
B. Choosing appliances that cost less money.
C. Turning off a device to stop using power.
D. Classifying the garbage before throwing it away.
9. What may disappoint a person who adopts a zero waste lifestyle?
A. Recycable carboard.
B. Excessive packaging.
C. Glass jars to store purchases.
D. Natural substances in cleaning products.
10. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. How do people live a zero waste lifestyle.
B. Why Ms. Tin chooses to live a zero waste lifestyle..
C. We can also practice a zero waste lifestyle in Asia.
D. It is easy to live a zero waste lifestyle in the West.
11. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Living a zero waste lifestyle.
B. Going green ismore than a fashion.
C. A zero waste lifetyle is easy to achieve.
D. Making environmentally-conscious decisions.
D
Some of my earliest memories involve sitting with my dad in his study every evening when he came home from the office. I’d watch as he put his personal items away: his watch, wallet, comb and car keys would always occupy the same spot on the table every time.
Dad’s comb was bought when he married Mum. Every evening, he would smile, hand me the comb and say: “Be a good girl and help Daddy clean it, OK?” I was more than happy to do it. This seems amundanetask, but it brought me such joy at that time. I would excitedly turn the tap on, then brush the comb with a used toothbrush as hard as I could. Satisfied that I’d done a good job, I would proudly return the comb to Dad. He would smile at me, and place the comb on top of his wallet.
About two years later, Dad started his own business. I started primary school. That was when things started to change. Dad’s business wasn’t doing so well, and he didn’t come home as much as he used to. Over the years, I
stopped waiting for him to come home.
Today, I’ve graduated from college and Dad’s business are better now. Yet the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me continued. Two days before my birthday last year, Dad came home early and said to me, “Hey, would you like to help me clean my comb?” I looked at him a while, then took the comb and headed to the sink. It’s a new comb. I hadn’t noticed that he’d changed it. I brushed the comb, and it hit me then: why, as a child, helping my dad clean his comb was such a joy.
I passed the clean comb back to Dad. This time, I noticed my day has aged. But his smile is still as heartwarming as before. Dad carefully places his comb on top of his wallet. After so many years, I guess some things never change. And for that, I’m glad.
12. As a child, the author helped her dad clean his comb happily because ________.
A. she was good at cleaning the comb
B. she thought that she should do that as a good girl
C. her dad was home early to spend the evening with her
D. the comb was important for her father and her mother
13. Which of the following words can best replace the underlined wordmundanein paragraph two?
A. important
B. exciting
C. unnecessary
D. uninteresting
14. When the author said, “It’s a new comb. I hadn’t noticed that he’d changed it.”, she felt ________.
A. disappointed
B. impatient
C. tired
D. sorry
15. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Evenings With Dad.
B. How to Clean the Comb.
C. My Memory with My Dad.
D. I Love My Family Members.
