The full stop, which comes from Greek punctuation (标点符号), is usually used to express
the end of a sentence but now it frightens young people when used in social media communication
as a sign of anger.
According to experts, youngsters used to communicating electronically break up their
thoughts by sending each one as a separate message, rather than using a full stop, which they use
only to signal they are annoyed. Some have said the full stop is redundant when used in texting
because the message is ended just by sending it. “If you send a text message without a full stop,
it’s already obvious that you’ve concluded the message.”
Owen McArdle from Cambridge University told the newspaper: “I’m not sure I agree about
emails. I guess it depends how formal they are. But full stops are very much the exception in
youngsters’ instant messages, and have a new role in expressing anger.”
In 2015, a study from Binghamton University in New York suggested that people who finish
messages with full stops are considered insincere. The study involved 126 undergraduates and the
researchers found that text messages ending in the most final of punctuation marks-eg “lol.”, “let’s
go to Nando’s.”-were considered being less sincere. Unusually, texts ending in an exclamation
point-“lmao!”, “what body part even is that? I hope it’s your arm!” -are thought heartfelt.
Research leader Celia Klin said at the time: “When speaking, people easily convey social and
emotional information with eye gaze, facial expressions, tone of voice, pauses and so on. People
obviously can’t use these when they are texting. Thus, it makes sense that texters rely on what
they have available to them-special signs, deliberate misspellings that imitate (模仿) speech
sounds and, according to our data, punctuation.”

How do you deal with plastic bags from the supermarket? Throw them away or reuse them?
How about eating them?
Indian company EnviGreen has made a bag with natural ingredients (成分). It looks and feels
just like plastic, but can be broken down easily. The bags bring no harm to the environment. Both
humans and animals can safely eat them.
EnviGreen founder Ashwath Hedge spent four years doing experiments with a combination
of 12 natural ingredients. They include potato, corn, vegetable oil and banana. He made the
ingredients into liquid and used the liquid to make the bag. Although the EnviGreen bag is about
35 percent more expensive than a common plastic bag, it has many advantages. According to the
Wall Street Journal, it takes 1,000 years for common plastic bags to break down. But an
EnviGreen bag can naturally break down in less than 180 days. It also breaks down in less than a
day in water, and in about 15 seconds in boiling water. Hedge was happy to show it in his
interview with The Better India. In the interview, he put an EnviGreen bag in water and ate it with
a smile.
According to India’s Minister of State for Atmosphere, Forest and Weather Change, the
country produces more than 15,000 tons of plastic waste every day. But only 9,000 tons are
processed. In China, 3 billion plastic bags are used every day. Maybe the EnviGreen bag could be
a solution to the world problem of plastic pollution.
5．Why is the EnviGreen bag eatable?
A．Because it looks like plastic.
B．Because it can be broken down easily.
C．Because it consists of natural ingredients.
D．Because it does no harm to the environment.
6．If a common plastic bag costs ¥ 0.5, what’s the price of an EnviGreen bag?
A．¥ 0.85. B．¥ 0.675. C．¥ 0.65. D．¥ 0.475.
7．Which sentence can describe Ashwath Hedge’s experiment?
A．It took him less than four years to succeed.
B．He made a special liquid to form the material.
C．He combined 4 kinds of food to create the EnviGreen bag.
D．The EnviGreen bag can naturally break down in 15 seconds.
8．What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．Plastic pollution can be controlled with combined efforts.
