19、oblem with disposable coffee cups: The thin, waxy, plastic coating inside makes it tricky to recycle or compost them. So, they most go into a landfill （垃圾填埋场）. More than that, it takes a lot of energy and resources to make them. Starbucks and McDonalds are trying to develop a disposable coffeecup th
20、at can be both recyclable and compostable. But thats easier said than done. The coffee giants have been dangling a million dollars to anybody who can crack the code.The Rolling Stones are also thinking about the sustainable cups. If you see the Stones in concert this summer and go to get a drink, th
21、ere may be no single-use plastic cup for you. The bands approached Michael Martin, who has produced a bunch of big Earth Day concerts, asking for help to eliminate plastic waste. He came up with a simple solution. When you come up to get your first beverage（饮料）, you put down a $3 deposit, you get a
22、really high-quality Rolling Stones-branded cup, says Martin. You use it throughout the night, and at the end of the event you can turn your cup in and get your $3 back or you can keep your cup.

23、ut this idea returning and reusing a cup this is not that complicated. So why is this just being tried now? Thats a really good question, says Martin.

People must pay 3 dollars and return the cup.27. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Artists have
27、a great impact.B. Martin is giving a rock concert. C. Mick Jagger fans are abusing the planet.D. Mick Jagger fans never disagree with him. CThe United States is a nation of car owners. Ninety-five percent of households own a car, and 85 percent of people get to work in one. This lifestyle contribute
28、s to congestion on our roads and damages the environment. As autonomous vehicles begin to hit the streets over the next decade or so, its believed that all this will change. Autonomous vehicles will most likely decrease the number and severity of crashes, allow cars to travel more closely together a
29、nd improve cooperation between vehicles, all of which tend to reduce traffic jams and increase capacity. However, this future is not assured. To realize the full potential benefits of driverless cars, we will have to act soon to encourage a culture in which transportation is shared. Many people in t
30、he automobile industry assume that driverless vehicles will automatically be shared, but there is little evidence that this is true. Most estimates suggest that driverless cars will eventually be only slightly more expensive than traditional cars, which means theyll be within reach of many consumers
31、, so users are not willing to share rides. If most people are going to buy-in to a shared-ride culture, they need to get a significant benefit.

The cost of travel will also be varied based on how efficiently a vehicle uses the roads. Autonomous vehicles carrying multiple people sho
33、uld get higher priority than those carrying one or none at all. Decision-makers must push for incentives that encourage the most efficient use of our limited roadway infrastructure （基础设施）. The autonomous future is rapidly approaching; it is critical that we act now, while the impacts of autonomous v

Histelomeres（染色体端粒）, structures which break over time as part of the natural aging process, lengthened in space. But that didnt necessarily mean being younger, the st

He might be at some increased ris
