Questions are based on the following passage．

To swim across the English Channel takes at least nine hours． It&39;s a hard work and it makes you short of breath． To fly over the Channel takes only twenty minutes (as long as you&39;re not held up at the airport), but it&39;s an expensive way to travel． You can travel by hovercraft if you don&39;t mind the noise, and that takes forty minutes． Otherwise, you can go by boat, if you remember your seasickness pills． All these means of transport have their problems and the weary traveler often dreams of being able to drive to France in his own car． "Not possible," you say． Well, wait a minute． People are once again considering the idea of a Channel tunnel or bridge．

This time, the Greater London Council is looking into the possibility of building a Channel link straight to London． (79) A bridge would cost far more than a tunnel, but you would be able to go by rail or by car on a bridge, whereas a tunnel would provide a rail link only．

Why is this idea being discussed again？ Is Britain becoming more conscious of the need for links with Europe as a result of joining the EEC (欧共体)？ Well, perhaps． The main reason, though, is that a tunnel or bridge would reach the twenty square kilometers of London&39;s disused docklands． A link from London to the continent would stimulate trade and revitalize the port, and would make London a main trading center in Europe． (80) With a link over the Channel, you could buy your fish and chips in England and be able to eat them in France while the), were still warm!

le are trying to do their bit to be more environmentally friendly.

Local councils in Britain encourage certain aspects of green living，such as recycling paper，tin，plastic and glass. They want to reduce the amount of rubbish going into landfill sites(填埋场)，because they are running out of places to dump(倾倒)rubbish. In some areas rubbish for recycling is collected from your doorstep，but in other areas，you have to take it to a special recycling place，such as a bottle bank.

Another way of reducing the amount of rubbish you create is to use reusable products instead of disposable ones. For example，some people use strong shopping bags or boxes for their groceries instead of plastic carrier bags，or use washable nappies instead of disposables.

More people are becoming interested in reducing their carbon footprint-the amount of carbon they use up. They try to reduce their carbon emissions(释放)by cycling，using public transport or an electric car，rather than driving gas-consuming vehicles. Some people choose not to fly for holiday trips because planes are the biggest producers of carbon emissions.

You can make“green”choices when buying food too. It's best to buy food which was locally grown or produced so that it hasn't been imported by air，or shipped by road from far away.

Houses can be environmentally friendly too. It takes less energy to heat a house if it has good insulation(绝缘，隔热)and double glazing(双层玻璃). You can also create your own energy if you have solar panels or a wind turbine fitted though these can be expensive. You can also save water by using a rain water container for washing the car or watering the garden. It's even possible to use a system where“grey water”-water which has been through a tap(水龙头)once already，is used to flush(冲洗)toilets. Some new housing projects are being built specifically to be as environmentally friendly as possible.

The purpose of collecting reusable wastes is to______.

A．save energy consumed in daily life

B．reduce the amount of rubbish dumped

C．create a new way of green living

D．decrease the amount of carbon produced
