12、r Trek, once said, “Science fiction is a way of thinking, a way of logic that bypasses (绕过) a lot of nonsense. It allows people to look directly at important subjects.” A lifetime of science fiction has influenced more than just my relationship with my dad, but has also helped me shape my own hopes

18、d it creates a significant threat to all life forms on Earth. Despite knowing the effects of plastic pollution, we have not been able to ban the use of plastic products. Now, thanks to the invention of a 17-year-old girl, Arora, we finally have a better choice. This plastic-like material is made fro
19、m prawn (大虾) shells, and it breaks down 1.5 million times faster than most of the commercial plastic products we use today.The Australian teen first became aware of the impact of plastic waste on the environment when shopping with her mother. She wondered why her mother had to pay for the plastic ba
20、gs. When asked, the cashier informed her how plastic hurts the planet and that the additional charge was there to encourage people not to use it. This inspired Arora to create a kind of plastic that would break down faster than the conventional one.But the journey of inventing “eco-friendly plastic”
21、 was not easy. She experimented with a number of organic materials such as cornflour and banana peels, both of which had to be ruled out because of their solubility (溶解性). One night, while having dinner, she noticed that the shells of prawns look plasticky. She immediately went to the lab to researc
22、h. Later, she would describe that dinner as her “Eureka” moment. She extracted the material called “chitin” from the shells and then mixed it with an insoluble protein called “fibroin”, which is found in silk cocoons. Using the combination of these two organic materials, Arora created a plastic-like
23、 material that breaks down completely within just 33 days. Moreover, this plastic releases nitrogen when breaking down, which is why it can be used as plant fertilizer.Aroras invention has caused a stir, and she has won a number of awards.

61、 question whether we can order takeout food at school. Some people are in favour of it because it saves them much trouble, allowing them to have delicious food delivered directly to them. However, others dont think it right to do so. They point out that takeout food is usually delivered in plastic containers. Countless plastic bags and boxes will cause white pollution. Whats more, there can be health risks involved in takeout food. Personally, I will say no to takeout food, which must be banned from entering the school, so that we can have a good environment.
