If you e a young person in their early20s driving a car in any Western city,you would not normally give them a cond glance.However,in Christchurch,a city of320,000in New Zealand’s South Island, people do look suspiciously at anyone under25in a car.What they are really looking for is a yellow sticker on the car windows.The reason:a new scheme（方案）is targeting car thefts,using a yellow sticker programme.
Half of all car thefts in the quiet city are committed by people under25,police say,and each year vehicles worth6.2million disappear“for good”.Police say that car theft is now so worrying that if a good idea“comes along”they’ll u it.They say one has.It is called the Under-25Scheme.
Becau of the young age of car thieves in general,police invite owners who cars are not normally driven by people under25to place a yellow triangle on car windows front and back.If police e anyone under25driving the car with a yellow triangle sticker on the windows,they can stop the car and check the driver.
Police now say it has worked well enough over the last18months for them to test it nationally.Says Robin Scott,a Christchurch crime prevention officer,“For the13months until last October we had42 fewer cars stolen in Christchurch than the previous year-and only eight carrying stickers were stolen.”
Meanwhile,youth advocates in Christchurch are angry.Sam Fisher,a city communications employee:“If you divide people up like this,you’re going down the road to asking,‘Who are the thieves in the community?What is the color of their skin?Where do they live?What’s their gender?’so you target young black males living in a suburb.That’s the problem you end up with.”
As for the police,the real issues em to be finding a sponsor to pay for the whole sticker scheme,and
the extra cost of making the reflective.

The LEGO Group has been working on a way to make LEGO bricks out of recycled plastic.The bricks aren’t ready yet,but the company says it’s making progress.Making bricks from recycled materials could cut pollution from the company’s bricks by70%.
Developed in Denmark,the plastic building toys have been around since the1950s.The toys click together firmly,allowing urs to build things that don’t fall apart easily.The company calls this gripping （抓紧的）ability“clutch power”.

Since roughly1960,LEGO bricks have been made from a kind of plastic called ABS.ABS plastic makes LEGO bricks very tough,and gives them great clutch power,over and over again.Sadly,ABS plastic can’t really be recycled,and it takes an extremely long time to break down.That’s a big problem. The world is struggling with a huge plastic waste problem.And LEGO makes about110billio
n bricks every year.
But since2015,LEGO has been making an effort to make their products more earth-friendly.Three years ago,the company began making some LEGO parts,like trees,out of a plastic made from sugar cane. Recently,LEGO started using paper bags instead of plastic to reduce packaging.
But making bricks out of recycled plastic is a big challenge.The goal is to make bricks out of PET plastic,which is softer than ABS plastic and can be found in things like bottles and clothing.One important step was finding a way of adding things to PET plastic to make it tougher and give it better clutch power like ABS.
“We know kids care about the environment,”said Mr.Brooks.“Even though it will be a while before they will be able to play with bricks made from recycled plastic,we want to let kids know we’re working on it.”
28.What’s LEGO Group working on?
A.Making bricks with greater clutch power.
B.Producing bricks out of new sources.
C.Drawing public attention to plastic waste.
D.Reducing plastic waste in its factories.
29.Why does the author mention LEGO’s yearly output in paragraph3?
A.To show the riousness of plastic waste.
B.To explain how big the company is.
C.To voice his views on plastic waste problem.
D.To emphasize the company’s success.
30.What’s the problem with PET plastic?
A.It’s hard to find.
B.It’s colorless.
C.It’s too costly.
D.It’s not strong enough.
31.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.LEGO Has Made Major Breakthrough
B.The Biggest Challenge for LEGO
C.Responsibility LEGO Carries
D.LEGO Works to Make Bricks from Recycled Plastic

Boredom at work（and meetings）is something nearly all of us feel at times,but admitting that boredom to coworkers or managers is likely something few of us have ever done.It turns out,however,that a certain level of boredom might actually increa the creative quality of our work.That’s the suggestions of a recently published paper focud on the link between feeling bored and getting creative.
In the paper,rearchers Sandi Mann and Rebekah Cadman,both at the University of Central Lancashire,explained the creativity-boosting power of boredom in two rounds of studies.In both rounds, participants were either assigned the boring task of copying numbers from a phone book or assigned to a control group,which skipped the phone book assignment.All participants were then asked to generate as many us as they could for a pair of plastic cups.This is a common test of divergent（发散的）thinking-a vital element for creative output that concerns one’s ability to generate lots of ideas.Mann and Cadman found that the participants who had intentionally led to boredom through the phone book task had generated significantly more us for the pair of plastic cups.
Next,Mann and Cadman wanted to e what would happen when they really bored people out of their minds.So in a cond round of their study,they created three groups-one control group,one phone-number-copying group,and a third group given the even duller task of simply reading the phone book.All three groups completed another task requiring creativity.In this ea,the most bored group-the completely passive group of phone-book-readers-scored as the most creative,even out-scoring tho assigned to the same phone book copying task from the first study.The findings suggest that boredom felt during passive activities,like reading reports or attending long and boring
meetings,heightens the “daydreaming effect”on creativity-the more passive the boredom,the more likely the daydreaming and the more creative you could be afterward.
Next time when we need to dream up new projects or programs,perhaps we should start by spending some focud time on dull activities such as answering emails,making copies,or entering data.
32.What does the paper concern?
A.Relationship between managers and workers.
B.Connection between boredom and creativity.
C.Link between quality and work time.
D.Association between concentration and efficiency.
33.Why were participants asked to list u of plastic cups?
A.To test their imagination.
B.To lead them to boredom on purpo.
C.To develop their divergent thinking.
D.To rai their awareness of plastic problem.
34.Which did the third group do in the cond-round experiment?
A.They copied phone numbers.
B.They read reports.
C.They attended a long meeting.
D.They read the phone book.
