五、（2024·苏州工业园区期末）阅读表达。〔人与自然——环保意识与行为〕
April 22，2024 marks the 55th World Earth Day. This year's theme is “Planet vs. Plastics”. So，I decided to try something different—a whole day without using any plastic. It sounded exciting but it was quite hard.
My morning started with a homemade breakfast in a glass bowl. But later when I tried to order juice as usual，I had to give up because of those plastic cups. I faced a bigger problem at the supermarket. Almost everything was wrapped（包装）in plastic—from fruits and vegetables to meat. It made me realize that plastic was everywhere，making it hard to carry on with my no-plastic plan.
Plastic is widely used in our daily life. It can be made into all kinds of things such as bags，bottles and toys. It's tough(牢固的）and it's really light. So we depend heavily on it.
But there's one thing：Using too much plastic can be harmful to the environment. Humans use about one million plastic bottles every minute，and more than 5 trillion plastic bags are used each year，according to a United Nations report. The world produces 200 million tons of plastic waste each year，but only less than 10 per cent has been recycled.
To make a difference，China stopped the production，sale and use of plastic shopping bags with a thickness of less than 0.025 mm in 2008. From 2010 to 2020，China recycled 170 million tons of waste plastic. These have helped reduce plastic waste.
Let's join hands and make a clean and beautiful world.
1. What did the writer decide to do to support the World Earth Day?
______________________________
2. According to the passage，why is plastic useful but harmful?
______________________________
3. What can you do to help reduce plastic waste? State your reason.
