第二节阅读表达（共 3 小题，共 6 分）阅读下面的短文和问题，根据短文内容和每小题后的具体要求，完成对该问题的回答。

• 16．"One person's trash is another person's treasure." That's a common expression，but the next time you throw something away，think about a twist on the old saying.What if your trash could become your own treasure？Many creative，thrifty，and environmentally minded people have come up with a way to make that happen.It's called up cycling.Our world would be a better place if everyone would begin up cycling.
      Up cycling is the practice of taking an unwanted item and turning it into something useful.For example，how about that pair of jeans with a hole in one knee？It could become a new pillow for your bedroom.How about the old T-shirts you never wear anymore？It could be sewed together to make a picnic blanket.All of these are examples of up cycling.
      Up cycling is not the same as recycling.Up cycling is actually much better for the environment.Recycling takes an item made of glass，paper，metal，or plastic，breaks it down to its base material，and then uses that material to make another product.This requires a great deal of energy.On the other hand，when you choose to up cycle，the only energy you use is your own.And up cycling not only reduces the amount of trash that goes into our landfills，but it also protects natural resources，such as oil and gas.Recycling is good for the environment，but up cycling is even better.
      Up cycling also makes a family's budget stretch further.Before you run to the store to buy something，look around your house.Old teacups can be transformed into cjye.ailes.And an old ladder can even become a bookshelf.Of course，the idea of reusing items to save money is not new.During the Great Depression in the 1930s，many families lived on a tight budget.People had to use what they already had in order to meet their needs.Flour sacks were used to make clothes，and a broken door became a new table.Today we should follow the examples of our great-grandparents and save money by up cycling.
      As responsible citizens，we should all be concerned with protecting our environment and budgeting our resources.Up cycling is a fun and creative way to help.The next time you go to toss something into the trash can，stop and think about what it could become.Chances are，there's a brand-new item in your hand just waiting to be upcycled.
  
  （1）What is upcycling according to the passage？

  
  （2）Why is upcycling much better for the environment than recycling？

  
  （3）Find out one thing in your daily life to upcycle.Explain what you will do with it.
