• 2．Most British telephone cards are just plain green，but card collecting is becoming a popular hobby in Britain and collectors even have their own magazine，International Telephone Cards．One reason for their interest is that cards from around the world come in a wide variety of different and often very attractive designs．There are 100，000 different cards in Japan alone，and there you can put your own design onto a blank card simply by using a photograph or a business card．
     The first telephone cards，produced in 1976，were Italian．Five years later the first British card appeared，and now you can buy cards in more than a hundred countries．
     People usually start collecting cards because they are attractive，small and light，and they do not need much space．It is also a cheap hobby for beginners，although for some people it becomes a serious business．In Paris，for example，there is a market where you can buy only telephone cards，and some French cards cost up to 4，000 pounds．The first Japanese card has a value of about 28，000 pounds．Most people only see cards with prices like these in their collectors' magazine．

  A．the history of phone cards

• 3．Our environment isn't as green and beautiful as it should be．There are steel（钢铁）monsters blocking out the sun，blowing out dangerous smoke，and letting out poisonous chemicals into rivers，cars producing harmful waste gas，people throwing out waste in a wrong way，and all other kinds of sources that ruin the planet．Facing current environmental problems，people need to do their best to save the Earth．
     You can see many big garbage dustbins in the streets．They're not there for a show，but for you to drop your waste．We should realize that what a little we do does count．So next time you get that urge to throw gum or a chocolate package out of the car window，or "accidentally" drop as yon walk down the street，ask yourself how ranch waste you're been contributing to the environment with that bad habit going on for years．
     At home；the first thing we can do to protect the environment is avoid letting water run continuously and make sure that taps（水龙头）are not leaky（泄漏的），which would help greatly in scrimping．Another is to use energy-saving lights，and turn them off before you leave the rooms．It's not only energy-saving，but also cuts down electricity costs．
     Recycling is a method to make items reusable．Many things you want to throw out can be made into new products through the reproducing process．Use your imagination to come up with ways on things that you can use again．
     Pass on the message of simple ways to save the environment to kids．Starting with kids is a good way of teaching the message early in their lives，in the hope that they can carry it forward as they grow older．
     With environmental protection awareness（意识）in mind，we can do what we can，for the results are to have a big effect on the planet．As long as we do our part，the world is one small step closer to being saved．
  
  （1）In the first Para the author uses "steel monsters" to describe

  ．
  A．huge buildings
  B．high mountains
  C．big factories
  D．characters in fairy stories
  （2）From the Fifth Para，we can know that

  ．
  A．protecting the environment begins with small chores
  B．protecting the environment should start from childhood
  C．wonderful life comes from environmental protection
  D．protecting the environment benefits the country and the people
  （3）Which of the following is NOT TRUE？

  
  A．The more people do their part，the greener the environment will be
  B．Selling what you dent want any more is a kind of recycling
  C．To protect the environment may help you save some money
  D．Your bad habits for the environment are a valuable contribution
