根据以下内容回答问题.
Have you ever stayed in a hotel Most hotels often provide guests with things like disposable (一次性的) toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers (拖鞋). Many guests like the idea because they don’t have to bring their own things. But, if you travel to some European countries, remember to bring your own things. Many hotels in these countries no longer provide guests with these disposables. They want to ask people to use fewer disposable things
Many disposable things are made of plastic. People throw them away after only using them once.
It is a waste of natural resources and is very bad for the environment. Do you know that, on average, one person makes as much as 400kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things. In New York, people throw away more than 20,000 tons of plastic food every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down (降解). So the less plastic we throw out, the better. So, wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them again and again.
Back at home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to do these things in your daily life:
● Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones.
● After using a plastic bag, wash it out and let it dry. Then you can use it over and over again.
● Do not use paper cups.
● At your school canteen, use your own bowl and chopsticks instead of disposable ones.

At 16, he even made a computer from old clock and telephone parts. He went to the University of Oxford at 17, having passed his exams a year early. Later, he studied at the University of Cambridge and became fascinated by black holes. While others thought black holes were areas in space where nothing could escape, Stephen discovered that a type of radiation, now called Hawking radiation, could escape from them.

When Nie was young, he had musical talent. He was able to learn the voices of people he knew, and almost any sound that entered his ears. Thus, people began to call him “Ears”.

In Cambodia (柬埔寨), the Khmer New Year (Songkran) is celebrated from April 13-16. People return home from different places and visit temples (庙宇) for good luck.The festival includes water splashing, flour fights, and traditional games like tug-of-war. The government even organizes free buses for people travelling home, similar to China’s Spring Festival.

The weather is the topic English people always discuss. It often changes and brings cold weather or heat, sunshine or rain, frost or snow.
In summer the sun shines. There’s no wind and there are no clouds in the sky. It’s blue and beautiful. People like walking and playing in the open air. They also go to the seaside to have a rest there. There are a lot of stars in the sky at night. The average temperature is about 25℃. The days are long and it gets dark late.
When autumn comes, the days become shorter and cooler. The sky is often cloudy. Heavy clouds bring rain. When it rains, we put on raincoats and open umbrellas. Then people say, “It’s raining cats and dogs!” A real Englishman usually takes an umbrella with him. Some people get sick when the weather changes suddenly and have to stay in bed. The temperature varies (变化) from 10℃ to 5℃.
Snow is very late in Britain. It usually snows in the north. In the south, snow melts very quickly in 2 or 3 hours. Children use this chance to play with snowballs or go sled-going. Winter is often windy and rainy like autumn. The average temperature is from 5℃ to 0℃.
Spring brings sunshine and warmth. Trees and flowers bloom (开花). Nature awakens from winter sleep. If the weather is fine, people usually say, “A nice day, isn’t it ” It’s a usual way to start a conversation.
The English weather is changeable. Sunshine can easily change to clouds or rain. But British people get used to such weather and don’t worry about it.

The most frightening words in the English language are, “Our computer is down.” You hear it more and more when you are on business. The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, “I’m sorry, I can’t sell you a ticket. Our computer is down.”
“If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket.”
“I can’t write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so.”
I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, “What do all you people do ”
“We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not.”
“So when it goes down, you go down with it.”
“That’s good, sir.”
“How long will the computer be down ” I wanted to know.
“I have no idea. Sometimes it’s down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There’s no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since it’s down, it won’t answer us.”
After the girl told me they had no backup (备用) computer, I said. “Let’s forget the computer. What about your planes They’re still flying, aren’t they ”
“I couldn’t tell without asking the computer.”
“Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he’s flying to Washington,” I suggested.
“I wouldn’t know which gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldn’t take you if you didn’t have a ticket.”
“Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours ”
“I wouldn’t know,” she said, pointing at the dark screen. “Only ‘IT’ knows. It can’t tell me.”
By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other travellers that the computer was down. Some people went white, some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.
