Unlike the minerals and oil used to make plastics and metals, tre

66、es are replaceable. Paper is also biodegradable (可降解的), so it does not pose as much threat to the environment when it is discarded. While 45 out of every 100 tons of wood fibre used to make paper in Australia comes from waste paper, the rest comes directly from virgin fibre from forests and plantati

67、ons. By world standards this is a good performance since the world-wide average is 33 percent waste paper. Governments have encouraged waste paper collection and sorting schemes and at the same time , the paper industry has responded by developing new recycling technologies that has paved the way fo

68、r even greater utilization of used fibre. As a result, industrys use of recycled fibres is expected to increase at twice the rate of virgin fibre over the coming years.Already, waste paper constitutes 70% of paper used for packaging and advances in the technology required to remove ink from the pape

69、r have allowed a higher recycled content in newsprint and writing paper. To achieve the benefits of recycling, the community must also contribute. We need to accept a change in the quality of paper products; for example stationary may be less white and of a rougher texture. There also needs to be su

70、pport from the community for waste paper collection programs. Not only do we need to make the paper available to collectors but it also needs to be separated into different types and sorted from contaminants（污染物），string and other items. The four most common sources of paper for recycling are factori

71、es and retail stores which gather larger amounts of packaging material in which goods are delivered, also offices which have unwanted business documents and computer output, paper converters and printers and lastly households which discard newspapers and packaging material.Once collected, the paper

72、has to be sorted by hand by people trained to recognize various types of paper. The sorted paper then has to be repulped（再打浆）or mixed with water and broken down into its individual fibres. This mixture is called stock and may contain a wide variety of contaminating materials, particularly if it is m

73、ade from mixed waste paper which has had little sorting. Various machinery is used to remove other materials from the stock. After passing through the repulping process, the fibres from printed waste paper are grey in color because the printing ink has soaked into individual fibres. This recycled ma

74、terial can only be used in products where the grey color does not matter, such as cardboard boxes but if the grey color is not acceptable, the fibres must be de-inked. This involves adding chemicals , water-hardening agents , frothing agents and bleaching agents. Before the recycled fibres can be ma

79、ble version: An AccidentOne day, Daddy and I were taking a walk by the lake when a girl rode past at a very high speed. Then suddenly we heard a frightened scream followed by a big noise of something dropping into the water. We turned and found the girl struggling in the lake, crying for help. Daddy

80、 and I ran quickly towards her and pulled her out. We also managed to get her bike out. Almost immediately, the girl rode away even without saying “Thanks” . I felt quite disappointed at her behaviour . We dont help others for “thanks” , but nowadays many young people dont know how to be polite . What a pity it is for our society and for our civilization! At the same time , I remembered stories where people offered their hand but were later accused of causing the accidents. How lucky we were! After all, we escaped being included in such stories .
