2．I'm retiring from teaching and will enjoy family life with my wife and grandchildren.Recalling my teaching career，I have a lot to share，but one thing is for sure：Teachers learn just as much from students as students learn from teachers.Here are a few of the things I have learned in my job.
Roger was physically and mentally delayed.About once a month，we would have a dance in our classroom.Roger was awkward and ashamed when it came to asking a girl to dance with him.But once，I noticed that Roger was slow dancing with Leah，one of the most popular girls in the class.He had the biggest smile on his face.The next day，when Roger left my classroom to work with his support teacher，I praised Leah for inviting Roger to dance.That simple act of including him in a slow dance was such a great move.At our next dance，Roger asked Leah and every girl in the class to dance.No one turned him down.Leah taught me about the kindness of a simple act and its great effect.
It was Serena who showed us what bravery was about.Serena was our play's narrator （旁白员）.She was scared she would forget her lines. "If you do，" I advised， "pause，stare at the audience and take time to remember.The audience will think it's part of the play." Halfway through the opening night，Serena forgot her lines.She stared out at the 300 people gathered in the gym.After what seemed like forever，Serena remembered.After the performance，she burst into tears backstage，thinking she had let everybody down.When our principal came back to congratulate our cast，she turned to Serena and said her pause worked so well.Little did she know about Serena's little act of bravery.
Teachers spend hours making lessons to teach skills and knowledge.We adjust lessons，keep the good and throw out the bad.A good teacher listens to and learns from students and often it has nothing to do with the curriculum.

3．Fashion designers are always looking for new materials to work with.Lately，it's all about environment-friendly materials — recycled tires，mushrooms，even pineapple fibers!What if you want such a pair of shoes？Thaely is here to help.
This sneaker brand out of Dubai wants to fight the growing problem of plastic pollution.Led by 23-year-old Indian businessman Ashay Bhave，they may have found a winning approach：making shoes out of plastic grocery bags. "Thaely" means "plastic bag" in the Hindi language.
"I was looking to create footwear that is cost-effective and safe for the environment，" Bhave said in an interview with a newspaper. "I needed to come up with something that uses recycled plastic without creating any more plastic waste." Plastic bags were the perfect solution.He said five trillion plastic bags are used around the world each year. "I was motivated to find a solution to this problem，" Bhave said.
That solution was the fiber called ThaelyTex.Made entirely from plastic bags，the material looks and feels like leather.That sounds promising.Better yet，the production process requires no additional chemicals and produces no poisonous by-products.The result is a smart-looking pair of white low-top sneakers.
Bhave wouldn't expose the full process for making ThaelyTex，but he said that each pair of shoes was made from up to 15 plastic bags and 22 plastic bottles.Where do they get the materials？Bhave told Elle that was the hardest part. "The biggest challenge we faced was right at the first step of acquiring the plastic bags."
Finally，they got help from TrioTap Technologies，a waste management plant.Bhave said they offered to collect the bags and also process them into ThaelyTex.
So far，it seems like things are falling into place.There are already hundreds of pre-orders in place.It sounds like they have some plans for the future. "We have a few more colors coming up，" said Bhave.They also plan to put out a high-top model and bring in a line of clothing.Let's hope their growth is also friendly to the environment.
（1）Why did Bhave choose to make shoes out of plastic bags？
A．To set a new footwear trend.
B．To test new materials for footwear.
C．To reduce the use of plastic bags in his home country.
D．To use recycled plastic in an environment-friendly way.
（2）What was the most difficult task for Bhave？
A．Having a few more colors for Thaely.
B．Processing plastic bags into ThaelyTex.
C．Collecting enough production materials.
D．Dealing with many poisonous by-products.
（3）The underlined part "put out" in the last paragraph probably means.
A．produce
B．stop
C．cause
D．broadcast
（4）What can be the best title for this passage？
A．Bhave：a promising young man
B．Thaely：killer of waste plastic bags
C．ThaelyTex：material out of plastic bags
D．TrioTap Technologies：a waste management plant组卷：1引用：3难度：0.5
