A few weeks ago, I bought a locally-grown salad from a vending machine（自动售货机）.But then I immediately realized that it was packaged in a plastic jar.“I guess I live with this jar now and forever."I thought sadly as I stared down at my new child.

The salad jar was only the latest in a long line of examples of how I am addicted to the responsibility of reusing everything, trying to never throw anything away.Water bottles have been given second lives, and berry containers are transformed into Tupperware.I recently even looked at a plastic straw in my fruit juice:Could I reuse it too...？
Yet trying to squeeze my salad jar under my kitchen counter this weekend, I finally had to admit:Being an environmentalist has turned me into a hoarder（囤积者）.While keeping a certain number of jars and vegetable bags will allow me not to buy new containers, at a certain point those 30 berry containers begin to get a bit unnecessary.Who am I kidding？Then one day I came across a blog post that asks accusingly, "Are you turning your own home into a landfill（垃圾填埋场）？”
In my defense, there is absolutely no excuse not to be a conscious consumer.The solution is painfully obvious, but hard to admit:Delaying waste is not, in fact, rejecting waste. In an over-packaged, over-consuming culture, this can feel like a burden.While I refuse to throw away packaging, the fact remains:I already have it.The damage is done.I've been ignoring one of the most essential and difficult parts-reduce, reuse, recycle.Even if I go out of my way to reuse the waste I do have, I need to reduce what I am bringing home in the first place.
While I might not be ready to go full zero-waste, it's a goal that is admirable to work toward.Until then, my salad jar child is going to make a great overnight oats jar.

A. How important reusing is. B. How enthusiastic she is about reusing
C. How she makes use of the plastic straw.
D. Why she is responsible for reusing plastic straws.
25.Why does the author say she has turned into a hoarder？
A. She enjoys collecting a variety of small jars.
B. She has saved far more containers than she needs.
C. She likes the idea of saving fine packages in daily life
D. She stores more berry containers than other containers.
26.What does the underlined word“this”in paragraph 4 refer to？
A. Over-packaging B. Delaying waste

C. Over-consuming D. Rejecting waste

27.The author realizes at last that she should______.

A. buy fewer over-packaged goods B. throw away unnecessary packaging

It is common for adults to use"baby talk"when interacting with babies.This way of speaking attempts to imitate the sounds babies make when they first try to talk.But is this form of communication helpful to a child's development？

Several studies have suggested a clear link between parental language methods and a child's early language development.Studies showed that language learning in babies was improved when parents spoke more than a few simple words and used a wider vocabulary. Earlier research found that the style of speech used by parents to communicate with their baby could have an influence on language development.

One such speaking style is known as"parentese”.Research has shown that babies react better to this kind of language in the first months of life.Generally, parentese involves adults speaking in a higher voice and at a slower speed.The language is simplified, while sentences are short and often repeated.Studies from the past 30 years have confirmed that babies spoken to in parentese developed larger vocabularies throughout the first three years of life.

A new study on the subject, a project of the University of Washington's Institute for Learning&.Brain Sciences, examined whether parents can be effectively taught methods to improve their parentese skills.

Naja Ferjan Ramirez, working in the Institute for Learning&.Brain Sciences, said that the parents involved in the research were first shown the importance of language input for their baby's development.Parents were then given suggestions on how to use different parentese methods, and then rated on how well they used these methods with their child.She added that the new study is important because there are still a lot of parents with little knowledge about how to use parentese to help their child.This was one reason the researchers included parents from different cultural and economic groupings.

28.How do parents usually talk with their babies？

A. By speaking in a funny style B. By copying babies'sounds.

C. By raising speaking speed D. By whispering in babies'ears.

29.What can we learn from the second paragraph？

A. Babies'language skills are decided by talent.

B. Babies'language is improved by simple words.

C. Parental language style helps improve babies'behavior.

D. Parental language methods affect babies'language development.

30.Where can you find how parents were trained in parentese skills？

A. In paragraph 2. B. In paragraph 3. C. In paragraph 4. D. In paragraph 5.

31.What can be the best title for the text？

A. Communicating with babies matters more

B. Parentese is a good way to practice language

C. The more parents help,the better babies learn

D. Speaking parentese helps with babies'language learning
