四、阅读下面短文，回答短文后的问题
What do you do with the clothes you don’t want to wear any more? You may donate them or give them to other people. What happens next? Where do these clothes end up?
Sadly, the beaches of Ghana, a country in West Africa, are among these places. Now, the beaches are covered with clothing waste. People from all over the world donate clothes to charities. However, charity shops only sell up to 20 per cent of donated clothes, according to The Guardian. The unsold clothes are then put in large bags and travel to other countries to be sold again or for waste disposal (处理).
The Kantamanto Market in Accra, the capital of Ghana, is one of the world’s largest second-hand clothing markets. Every week, about 15 million pieces of clothes arrive at Kantamanto. But about 40 per cent of them leave the market as waste.
Workers either burn the waste or put it underground. However, the city is near the sea, so there’s not enough space for waste. This is why a lot of clothing waste ends up on the beach.
As it goes into the sea, sea life is in danger. Sea turtles can’t get to the land, and fish can’t grow because they may get caught in the clothes.
“The clothing waste is also hurting the economy (经济),” Ernest Ijawan, a worker at a landfill (垃圾填埋场) in Ghana, told Forbes. Fishermen can’t catch as many fish as before since most of the things they catch are clothes.

答案
五、Hi, guys,
Isn't it pleasant to study in an environmentally - friendly school? To develop a green lifestyle, we students can go green in small ways.
We can do simple things to help save resources. First of all, we should save paper. Reuse the textbooks and use both sides of the paper. Second, it's a good idea to save water. We shouldn't keep water running if we don't use it. Take shorter showers if possible. Next, saving food is also important. Don't order more food than we need.
Besides, we can also do something to reduce the pollution. We can take a bus to school instead of driving if possible. We should get used to separating litter before throwing it into the dustbin.
I hope each of us can do something to make a difference.
That's all. Thank you!
