The gift that never stops giving

People are going for gifts that are reused time and time again, (while also saving money), gifts that have

recyclable packaging, or the recyclable elements included within them. One of the best options is to go for a green

hamper (篮子).

Gift hampers can be reused

The fact that green items are frequently reusable is one of their main advantages. With a green hamper, you

can reuse everything that was inside of it, including the container. Many green hampers are available in wicker (柳

条) baskets, allowing you to keep the present for a long time and reuse it for other purposes.

Gift hampers are eco-friendly

A lot of people are worried about the environment and reducing CO2 emissions (排放 ). This is why green

hampers are becoming more popular. Typically, businesses that sell green baskets will guarantee that the items

inside them were manufactured by hand or in facilities with minimum CO2 emissions. However, the wicker baskets

are more breakable items.

How to reuse wicker baskets

Why not keep a selection of potted plants in your wicker basket? This will look great in your dining room.

With a wicker basket, for instance, place individual toiletries, towels, and blankets on the hamper for presentation

in your guests’ rooms. You can give your visitors a warm, “hotel inspired” feeling.

Giving someone an awesome gift hamper that is also eco-friendly conveys a unique message to the recipient

because there are so many options for gift baskets, you can fill them as you choose. This is why green hampers in

particular are dominating the market.

1. What is probably the concern of people who choose hampers?

A. Comfort. B. Expense. C. Security. D. Beauty.

2. Which can best describe the advantages of green hampers?

A. Reusable and tough. B. Popular and costly.

C. Multipurpose and recyclable. D. Ever-lasting and eco-friendly.

3. What is the author’s attitude to the popularization of green hampers?

A. Favorable. B. Intolerant. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.

There have been numerous attempts to create an all-plastic bike. But most have never passed through the

prototype stage (原始阶段). Igus, a Germany-based manufacturer of high-performance plastics, and Dutch start-up

MTRL aim to change that with the igus:bike — the world’s first urban bike crafted almost entirely from recycled

plastic.

Igus CEO Frank Blasé first got the idea while vacationing on a Florida beach in 2009. A conversation with

some employees from a rental company made him aware of the challenges of maintaining beach bicycles. The

continuous exposure to sand, wind and salt water caused the bikes to rust rapidly. Many had to be replaced in only

three months.

The igus:bike, unveiled at a German trade show, is maintainable and rust-free. It can be left outdoors in all

weathers and does not require lubricant oil (润滑油) to reduce friction between parts. Since it does not attract sand,

dust or dirt, the bike can be cleaned with a garden hose (水管) in seconds.

“As all components are made of plastic, no part of the bike rusts, even the gears — bicycle gears made of

plastic were unthinkable for a long time,”Blasé says.

The igus:bike will also help combat the world’s plastic pollution. The company says a single adult bike gives

new life to about 16 kilograms of single-use plastic that would otherwise choke our landfills or waterways.

Currently, 90 percent of the igus:bike is made using recycled plastic. This includes the bicycle’s frame,

bearings, pedals and wheel rims. Igus and MTRL believe future versions will be made entirely from recycled

plastic.

“From ocean plastics to motion plastics — the igus:bike concept has what it takes to become a high-tech

ecological product,” says MTRL co-founder Benjamin Alderse Baas.

The plastic bikes are expected to come onto the market in early 2023. An adult model, made entirely from

recycled plastic, will cost about E1400. A slightly cheaper version made using new plastic and an electric bike are

also in the works. Igus also plans on sharing its technology with other bicycle manufacturers.

4. What makes Igus CEO Frank Blase seek to create the igus:bike?

A. His holidaying in Florida last year.

B. The conversation between him and some bicyclers.

C. The trouble of keeping beach bicycles in good condition.

D. The prolonged exposure of bikes on the beach.

5. What can we learn about the igus:bike from the text?

A. It will certainly sell well. B. It needs to be more portable.

C. It can be used everywhere and freely. D. It is rust less and cleans easily.

6. What is the text mainly about?

A. A bike made from recycled plastics. B. How to make rust-free bikes.

C. An excellent bicycle manufacturer. D. How to maintain beach bikes.

7. What can be inferred about the future plastic bikes?

A. They will be cheaper and lighter.

B. They will be more high-tech ecological.

C. They will be crafted from only recycled plastics.

D. They will be used widely all over the world.

Many people think work meetings are a waste of time

and that might be because most meetings keep

employees from working well. One survey of 76 companies found that productivity was 71 percent higher when

meetings were reduced by 40 percent. Unnecessary meetings waste $37 billion in salary hours a year in the U.S.

alone.

Many meetings occur without a specific reason. Another motive for meetings is what some scholars call the

Mere Urgency effect, in which we engage in tasks — such as a meeting where each person recites what they’re

working on, whether others need that information or not — to help us feel like we are accomplishing something

actual.

But the real problem with meetings is not lack of productivity — it’s unhappiness. When meetings are a waste

of time, job satisfaction declines. And when job satisfaction declines, happiness in general falls. Thus, for a large

population, eliminating meetings — or at least minimizing them — is one of the most straightforward ways to

increase well-being.

Nobody likes excessive and unproductive meetings. First, they generally increase fatigue. You have probably
