一、阅读理解 
When Shanghai introduced a new garbage-sorting policy in July last year, the city’s residents (居民) took some time to get used to it. They joked that every time they took out their garbage, the staff (工作人员) standing by the bins would ask, “What kind of garbage ar
e you?”
Starting on May 1, Beijing joined many Chinese cities by introducing a new garbage-sorting policy, People’s Daily reported. Residents should sort their garbage into four groups: kitchen, recyclable, hazardous (有害的) and other waste.
These groups are represented (代表) by four different colors of trash bins – green, blue, red and gray. Those who fail to sort their trash correctly may face fines of up to 200 yuan, Xinhua reported.
The way Beijing sorts its trash sounds different from cities like Shanghai and Qingdao. These cities use four different groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry. Although their names are different, the groups are actually the same. Wet garbage in Shanghai is, in fact, kitchen garage. And dry garbage is the same as other waste, China Youth Daily reported.
There are other environmentally-friendly changes coming to Beijing too. Restaurants will no longer be allowed to provide disposable tableware (一次性餐具) like wooden chopsticks. H
otels and restaurants will not be allowed to provide disposable products such as toothbrushes.
To help residents sort their trash correctly, the Beijing government is offering online guidelines. If people don’t know how to throw away garbage, they can search for it on the WeChat account Guanchenglishi (管城理市) to find out. By searching a key word or taking a photo, people can immediately find out which group their waste belongs in.

二、阅读理解
Are you curious of looking up at the stars and wondering if there’s intelligent life out there? So is Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST, 500米口径球面射电望远镜), China’s mega-science (大科学) project and the world’s largest single-dish radio telescope.
    On April 28, FAST, nicknamed “China’s Eye of Heaven”, embarked on its search for extraterrestrial intelligence (ET, 外星生物).
    As the news went viral (走红) on social networking sites, someone commented saying: “Do not answer! Do not answer! Do not Answer!”
    It seems that The Three-Body Problem (《三体》), a science fiction novel by Chinese au
thor Liu Cixin, has influenced minds so deeply that people are worried about the possibility of the Earth being invaded (入侵) by an advanced extraterrestrial civilization.
  That worry is, at least for now, unnecessary. Of the 1,800 planets that have been discovered, less than 20 are capable of supporting life, and the nearest among them, Gliese 581, is 20.4 light-years away.
  According to Robin Hanson’s Great Filter theory, there is less than a one in a million chance of any extraterrestrial life form evolving (进化) into higher intelligence or a civilization. And since their distance from China could even be millions or billions of light-years away, if they travel at the speed of light, it would take them at least millions of years to reach us.
