6. According to the article, how many plastic straws are found on the world's beaches?

1. E 根据"Scientists are trying to create plastic that breaks down quickly, but the best way for now is to use less plastic."和下文给出的五个建议可知，首段提出塑料污染问题后，需要过渡到具体建议。选项E“这是五个能帮助你的建议”符合语境。
2. F 根据"Some countries try to stop using plastic bags."可知，一些国家试图停止使用塑料袋，故可推测出，后文应补充其他国家采取的措施。选项F“其他国家让顾客付费购买它们”符合语境。
3. B 根据"Carry a reusable water bottle with you. Around the world, nearly a million plastic bottles are thrown away every minute."可知，后文提到“携带可重复使用的水瓶”，且指出“每分钟有近百万塑料瓶被丢弃”，因此空缺处应与“避免购买瓶装水”相关。选项B“不要购买瓶装水”符合语境。
4. G 根据"Avoid plastic packaging."可知，要避免塑料包装，根据"It's almost everywhere. But there is something you can do, too: avoid fruit or vegetables packed in plastic."可知，后文举例“避免购买塑料包装的水果或蔬菜”，因此空缺处需说明塑料包装的普遍性。选项G“你购买的大多数东西都有塑料包装”符合语境。
5. D 根据"You can't recycle all plastic things ... For example, you can recycle bottles or juice bags."可知，前文提及并非所有塑料都能回收，后文举例可回收瓶子和果汁袋，因此空缺处需体现“从小事做起”的转折。选项D“但可以从小事做起”符合语境。
