Question

任務型閱讀。閱讀下列短文，根據短文內容回答問題。

     Pollution problems are becoming more and more serious. One of them is called "white pollution"
caused by plastic, such as shopping bags, boxes and cups. In China about three billion plastic shopping
bags are used every day, which results in a great waste of resources(資源) and heavy environmental
pollution. Luckily, the government has stopped us from using free plastic bags, telling all stores and
supermarkets not to provide customers(顧客) with free plastic bags since June 1, 2008. From then
on, people have been supposed to use cloth bags and shopping baskets instead of plastic bags in order
to protect our environment.
     Now more and more people have realized the importance of using the cloth bags and the shopping
baskets. For one thing it can protect our environment, for another it can also make our country cleaner
and more beautiful. Yet we have more things to do to solve the problem of "white pollution"!
