One day, when I was standing in the cool shade (阴凉处) of a big tree and my master was carefully cleaning my feet, a boy came by with a big stick. He stopped and began to talk to my master. “That’s a fine horse,”said the boy. “But can he run fast ”
“Of course, he can,” said my master. “He is young, strong, and full of energy. But I don’t push him hard without a reason.”
The boy laughed. “What’s the point of a strong horse if you don’t make him run fast You’re wasting him!”
My master looked up with a serious expression. “It is never a waste to treat an animal well.” he said. A horse like this will serve you loyally (忠诚地) if you treat him kindly. Overwork or bad treatment will break his spirit and destroy him. A good horse needs trust and care to stay strong.”
The boy shook his shoulders and walked away, looking a bit confused (迷惑). But I felt proud and happy. My master knew how to manage me. He taught me to carry myself with confidence and to follow orders without fear. I loved to run freely in the fields, feeling the wind rush past my ears and the grass under my hooves (蹄).

Later that day, another horse told me about his old owner, who often hit him and made him pull heavy things up high hills. “My legs are weaker now because of it,” he said sadly. “I wish I had a master like yours. He seems to really care for you.”

Have you ever heard of upcycling It is a way of turning old or unnecessary things into something useful and often beautiful.
Is it the same as recycling Recycling usually takes old things, like paper and glass, and breaks them down to make a new product. When you upcycle an object,you are probably doing something different. You can simply refashion it. For example, you might make a bag out of an old T-shirt. Also, the upcycled object is usually in the same, or even better condition.
Upcycling isn't a new idea. Some of the best examples of modern-day upcycling come from the old times. In those days, things were repurposed over and over until they were no longer useful. Upcycling is a way of life. Things shouldn't be just thrown away when they can be saved and turned into something useful.
It's clear that upcycling is green. It is also considered to be more environmentally friendly than recycling. Upcycling can just require your own ideas and work， but recycling requires energy（能源）or water to break down things.
Grace, a young woman from the UK, takes used tea bags and turns them into dresses, shoes and even hats. Every day she drinks some tea, then dries out the tea bags with the tea still in them. When they're dry,she takes the tea out and puts the bags together to make an item of clothing. This can take a long time, but Grace has made lots of artworks.
In fact, no matter you create objects from old things or buy ready-made products from upcycled things,both ways are helpful for the environment and can bring you something that's both beautiful and useful. Get started today!
( )47. What does the underlined word “refashion" mean in paragraph 2
A. Break down useless things. B. Collect used things.
C. Create things out of old ones. D. Come up with good ideas.
( )48. How is upcycling different from recycling
A. It's a completely new idea. B. It needs more energy
C. It requires more time and work. D. It's a greener way of life.
( )49. Why does the writer tell the story of Grace in paragraph 5
A. To list the steps of doing upcycling. B. To give a good example of upcycling.
C. To express a different idea of upcycling. D. To provide basic knowledge of upcycling.
( )50. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To encourage people to do upcycling. B. To introduce the history of upcycling.
C. To compare upcycling with recycling. D.To explain the importance of recycling
