An Italian company says it has put the air from Lake Como into cans and is selling these cans for 9．90 euros each． Each can has 400 ml of“100% real air” collected from Lake Como．

Not everyone liked the idea． Como’s mayor (市长) said the canned air wouldn’t be his favourite recommendation for tourists． He’d rather they took home other gifts． He said, “It’s a new idea, but not for everyone． However, as mayor of this beautiful city, if someone wants to take some of the air home, that’s okay as long as they also take nice memories of this area．”

Mathilde Wittock, a designer from Belgium, makes resting chairs using old tennis balls． She creates them with no wood or plastic． Instead, each of her chairs is made up of 500 tennis balls． It is both stylish and strong．

Wittock wants to help protect the environment because many tennis balls are thrown away and don’t break down easily． About 300 million tennis balls are produced each year— and almost all of them end up in landfills (垃圾填埋场)． It takes them over 400 years to decompose． Big tennis events use a large number of balls, like the U． S． Open with 70,000 and Wimbledon with 55,000． The lifecycle of a ball is not long, which usually lasts for nine games．

Wittock receives all her materials from donations, mostly from tennis clubs． It takes Wittock three to four weeks to make a chair． To meet the customers’ needs, she cuts and colours the tennis balls by hand to match their rooms． It takes her much hard work and patience to change how the balls look．

But creation isn’t the only goal． In fact, what’s more important to Wittock is what happens to the chair when it’s old． At the end of her chair’s life, she takes it apart and recycles the tennis balls． The fuzz (绒毛) is burned off, and the ball is cut into pieces to make bouncy mats(弹性垫) for kids to play on． In this way, nothing goes to waste．

16． What does Mathilde Wittock use to make a resting chair?

A． Plastic bottles．                                                   B． Used tennis balls．

C． Recycled glasses．                                               D． Old wooden boxes．

17． What does the underlined word “decompose” in paragraph 2 probably mean?

In a small village, a very sick girl, Maggie, was found by the roadside． The villagers felt pity for the poor child．

“Take her to the poorhouse,” a villager suggested．

“The poorhouse is a sad place for a sick and helpless child,” answered another．

They discussed for a while but still no one seemed willing to take her．

Finally, Joe Thompson, a kind man, couldn’t leave Maggie behind． He carried her home gently．

As he got home, Jane, his childless, ill-tempered (易怒的) wife, angrily questioned, “What did you bring her here for?”

“She is too weak to walk,” replied Joe． “I will carry her to the poorhouse tomorrow and the guardians (管理人) there must be seen first．”

“Why not get the whole thing off your hands tonight?”

“Keep this poor child for a single night, please．” begged Joe, voice shaking, tears hidden． Jane didn’t answer, but a soft feeling rose in her heart．

“Treat her nicely,” said Joe． “Think of the loneliness, pain and sadness in her coming life．” Jane went quietly into the room where Maggie was in． Joe didn’t follow． He noticed that Jane’s attitude (态度) had changed． She sat by Maggies bed, talking kindly to her． Maggie’s eyes were fixed upon Jane． The little girl’s expression was sad yet thankful．

“What are you going to do with Maggie?” Jane asked after supper．

“You knew she was to go to the poorhouse,” replied Joe．

Jane looked strangely at Joe and her eyes dropped．

Early the next morning, Jane said to Joe, “Let’s keep her a day or two longer． She is so weak and helpless．”

Actually, Joe never saw the guardians at all． For within a week, Jane was so kind to Maggie that she would rather live in the poorhouse herself than send Maggie there． At the same time, Maggie brought happiness to their lives in return． Their home was filled with laughter and love．
