“Hello,” I said. “I'd love to know what you're doing with these turtles.”
She smiled. “I'm 5 their shells,” she replied. “Anything on a turtle's shell, like algae (水藻), 6 the turtle from swimming. It can also weaken the shell over time. It's my own way of making a 7 .”
“Wow! That's really nice of you! But there are turtles living in lakes all around the world. And hardly (几乎不) any of these turtles have kind people like you to help them clean their shells. So how 8 are you sure that you are truly making a difference?” I questioned.
The woman laughed aloud. She then 9 at the turtle in her lap, brushed the last piece of algae from its shell, and said, “Sweetie, 10 this little guy could talk, he'd tell you I just made all the difference in the world.”

Rubbish sorting (分类) probably doesn't sound like much fun. But there is a new mobile game that may change your opinion about it, and you might even learn something while you play it — Meet Sortee.
Meet Sortee is a puzzle game developed by Flow Studio, a UK company. It makes you think deeply about everyday objects (物体) and their meanings.
The rule of the game is quite simple. Two bins are placed on either side of the screen. Each of the bins has a label (标签) next to it and the label tells what it is for. When an object, such as a can or an apple, appears on the screen, you need to decide which bin it should be sorted into and then send it there by moving your finger.
The game seems easy enough at first. But as you move on to more levels, it gets harder. The number of bins increases (增长) to three or four and the time given gets shorter. You need to think and move faster. That can be really difficult.
There are 400 objects in total and more than 100 bins in the game. The more objects you correctly sort, the more game coins you can get. It's a bit like working in a rubbish recycling centre, but it has no bad smell.
You can download the free game from Apple's App Store (苹果软件下载中心), but it only lets you play the first few levels. If you want to open the next 40 levels, you need to pay 6 yuan for the full game.
( ) 1. The passage is probably taken from .
A. a postcard B. a newspaper C. a comic book D. a novel
( ) 2. Of the following, which order is RIGHT according to the third paragraph?
① An object appears on the screen.

③ Two bins are placed on either side of the screen.
④ You decide which bin to sort the object into.
A. ④③①② B. ①④③② C. ③①④② D. ③②④①
( ) 3. Which of the following can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A. You can play the full game for free. B. You can play the full game easily.
C. There are only 2 bins in each level. D. There are over 40 levels in the game.
( ) 4. What's the best title for the passage?
A. A Mobile Game. B. Rubbish Sorting.
