There is an argument(爭(zhēng)論) going on in many schools．It is about what language or languages are spoken in the classroom．
Some people argue that because this is America，only English should be spoken in schools．Others argue that America is a melting pot(多元文化的移民國(guó)家)．And if students are able to speak more than one language．that should be accepted and celebrated in classrooms．
We asked students in New York City what they thought．Here’s what they said．
Should English be
the only language
spoken in
American classrooms?
YES
Pedro Rodriguez：Even though you may want to speak your native language(本族語(yǔ))，you should learn and speak only English in school．It’s very important．It’s the most popular l anguage in the world．If you live here，you should speak it．
Gisell Mata：How can people expect to communicate in this country if they can’t speak English? School is the best place to start．I think if you speak and write only English in school，you will learn it quicker and be able to speak it very well in a short time．
Chemway Corley：I think all kids should speak only English in school．If you are living in the U. S.，you must know English．It is the main language of the country．I think students should have to learn the language even if they take ten periods a week learning it．

In different countries around the world，people become‘ adults’(成年人) at different ages．Being an adult means having the right(權(quán)利) to do certain things su ch as get a part-time job，vote(選舉權(quán))，get married，or get a licence to drive．
In many countries，sixteen or eighteen is the age at which a person becomes an adult．Young men and women at this age can get a part-time job，and begin to receive an income(收入) of their own．They no longer have to depend on their parents for money all the time．In many parts of North America，sixteen is also the age when one can get a driver’s licence；in England，it is seventeen．
In the United States，Canada，and the U. K. ，young people have the right to vote at the age of eighteen．With this right also comes duty．For young people to use their right to vote wisely，they must have an understanding of the needs of society，and they must also learn how politics(政治觀點(diǎn)) work．
Not everyone would agree that it is a good idea to give all of these rights to pe ople when they are too young．The question is，how young is too young?
64．An adult has the right to do certain things．Please give an example．
65．At what age can one get a driver’s licence in England?
66．In which countries do young people have the right to vote at the age of eighteen?

Have you ever stayed in a hotel? Most Chinese hotels often provide people with things like disposable (一次性的) toothbrushes，toothpaste，shampoo and so on．Many people like the idea because they don’t have to bring their own．But，if you travel to Beijing，remember to bring your own things．Starting from June，some hotels in Beijing no longer provide people with these disposables．They want to ask people to use fewer disposable things．
Many disposable things are made of plastic(塑料)．People throw them away after only using them once．It is a waste of natu ral resources(資源) and is very bad for the environment．Do you know．one Chinese person makes as much as 400kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things．In Beijing，people throw away about 19000000 kg of plastic bags and 1320000 kg of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down(腐爛)．So the less plastic we throw out，the better．Wherever you travel，bring your own things and use them again and again．
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，或回答問題。

Do you still get free plastic bags from the supermarkets? Things have changed.
China has banned (禁止) free plastic bags at shops and supermarkets, and people have to pay for using plastic bags. The rule started on June 1. It came because our country tried to make litter less. Making super-thin (超薄) plastic bags has also been banned.
The Chinese once used about 3,000,000,000 plastic shopping bags a day, and they have caused pollution of the environment(環(huán)境污染) . The bags have become a main cause of plastic pollution because they are easy to break and people throw them away here and there. So the Chinese people are encouraged to bring theft own bags for shopping.
What kind of shopping bag is the best to bring? Some students in Chongqing have a good idea. They make their own shopping bags. They use old clothes to make cloth bags (布袋), and send them to their parents as presents. They also ask theft parents and friends to use cloth bags instead of plastic ones. They think it is their duty to protect (保護(hù)) the environment.
