BMy six-year-old granddaughter stared at me as if she were seeing me for the first time. “Grandma, you are an antique(古董),” she said. “You are old. A

18、ntiques are old. You are my antique.”I was not satisfied to let the matter rest there. I took out the Websters Dictionary and read the definition to Jenny. I explained, “An antique is not only old, its an object existing since or belonging to earlier times.a work of art. a piece of furniture. Antiqu

19、es are treasured,” I told Jenny as I put away the dictionary. “They have to be handled carefully because they sometimes are very valuable. In order to qualify as an antique, the object has to be at least 100 years old.”“Im only 67,” I reminded Jenny.We looked around the house for other antiques, bes

20、ides me. There was a desk that was handed down from Rone aunt to another and finally to our family. “Its very old,” I told Jenny. “I try to keep it polished and I show it off whenever I can. You do that with antiques.”There was a picture on the wall bought at a garage sale. It was dated 1867. “Now t

21、hats an antique,” I said with pride. “Over 100 years old.” Of course it was marked up and scratched(刮坏) and not in very good condition. “Sometimes age does that,” I told Jenny. “But the marks are good marks. They show living, or being around. Thats something to display with pride. In fact, sometimes

22、, the more an object shows age, the more valuable it can become.” I believed this was important for my own self-worth.Our tour of antiques continued. There was a vase on the floor. It had been in my house for a long time. I was not certain where it came from but I didnt buy it new. One thing about a

23、ntiques, I explained to Jenny, was that they usually had a story. Theyd been in one home and then another, handed down from one family to another, traveling all over the place. Theyd lasted through years and years. They could have been thrown away, or ignored,or destroyed, or lost. But instead, they

24、 survived.For a moment, Jenny looked thoughtful. “I dont have any antiques but you,” she said. Then her face brightened. “Could I take you to school for show and tell?”“Only if I fit into your backpack,” I answered. And then Jennys antique lifted her up and embraced her in a hug that would last thro

25、ugh the years.24. Grandma read the definition of “antique” to Jenny in order to _.A. express her disappointment at being called “antique”B. change Jennys shallow understanding of antiquesC. tell Jenny the importance of protecting antiquesD. list all the important characteristics of antiques25.

A Story of Antiques CA survey in the Philippines has shown the country uses a “shocking” amount of single-use plastic, including nearly 60 billion sachets(小袋) a year, a new report said Friday. The report, produced by the n

28、on-governmental organization GAIA, is part of an effort to collect data on plastic consumption as environmentalists push for government action to reduce plastic waste.It contains shocking figures: every day, almost 48 million shopping bags are used throughout the Philippines, adding up to more than

29、17 billion a year. And that figure does not include the smaller, thinner and often transparent plastic bags known as labo bags- around 16.5 billion of those are used per year across the country, the report says. The figures are based on 21 waste assessments conducted in 13 cities across the Philippi

30、nes, with the national figures produced by extrapolating(推断) from local results.More than half of non-recyclable plastic analyzed in the survey came from sachetssmall plastic packets often lined with aluminium or containing other materials that make them non-recyclable. Small portions of products ra

32、s rare for you to be able to buy coffee in bigger containers; its all in sachets,” he said.The survey is the first time an organization has tried to quantify(确定数量) sachet use, and the NGO hopes to pressure both the government and industry to take action on controlling single-use plastic. The report found that where local-
