53、of plastic bags in a year worldwide and they are thrown away polluting oceans, killing wildlife and getting dumped in landfills where they take up to 1,000 years to decompose. Researchers have been unsuccessfully looking for a solution.The 16-year-old Canadian high school student, Daniel Burd, from
54、Waterloo Collegiate Institute, has-discovered a way to make plastic bags degrade(降解) in as few as 3 months, a finding that won him first prize at the Canada Wide Science Fair, a 10,000 prize, a 20,000 scholarship, and a chance to revolutionize a major environmental issue.Burds strategy was simple: S
55、ince plastic does eventually degrade, it must be eaten by microorganisms (微生物). If those microorganisms could be identified, we could put them to work eating the plastic much faster than under normal conditions.With this goal in mind, he grounded plastic bags into a powder and concocted(调制) a soluti
56、on of household chemicals, yeast(酵母) and tap water to encourage microbes growth. Then he added the plastic powder and let the microbes work their magic for 3 months. Finally, he tested the resulting bacterial culture on plastic bags, exposing one plastic sample to dead bacteria as a control. Sure en
57、ough, the plastic exposed to the live bacteria was 17% lighter than the control after six weeks.The inputs are cheap, maintaining the required temperature takes little energy because microbes produce heat as they work, and the only outputs are water and tiny levels of carbon dioxide.“Almost every we
58、ek I have to do chores and when I open the closet door, I have piles of plastic bags falling on top of me. One day, I got tired of it and I wanted to know what other people are doing with these plastic bags. The answer: not much. So I decided to do something myself.” Said Daniel Burd.68. Daniel Burd

Maintaining the required temperature takes little energy because . A. plastics can get hot easily B. microbes can produce
61、heat themselves C. much carbon dioxide is produced D. the temperature can be controlled71. Daniel Burd got his idea from . A. his school textbook B. the failure of researchers C. his everyday work D. the practice of other peopleE Good posture certainly shows good health. It also adds to a bodys ener
62、gy and beauty. The body is not handsome when the back is bent and neck thrusts forward. Bad posture suggests the impression that a person is tired, lacking in energy, bored, or weak. Tiredness may sometimes be the cause of bad posture. Most often, however, it is due to careless and poor health habit
63、s. Whatever it causes, bad posture affects one physically. The muscles are stretched and pulled into unnatural positions, which can lead to poor base of the bodys various systems.Nutrition is the study of how the body takes food and uses it.
