垃圾是一种很好的燃料。垃圾看起来不像煤、石油或天然气,但他们的化学成分和矿物燃料类似。当我们用完矿物燃料时,我们或许可以把垃圾当作能源来用。
燃烧垃圾并不是一种新的想法。欧洲和美国的一些城市燃烧垃圾已经有很多年了。燃烧垃圾产生的热量被用来烧水。产生的蒸汽则用来发电或给附近的大楼供热。在法国巴黎,一些电站每年要烧掉200万公吨的城市垃圾。产生的能量差不多相当于燃烧50万桶石油!
但是以垃圾作为燃料有一些问题。有些垃圾很容易燃烧,比如食物废料和纸制品,但他们必须要和金属、玻璃和其他不容易燃烧的物质分离开。另一问题就是燃烧垃圾会污染空气。
我们的矿物燃料供应有限。燃烧垃圾或许是一种能源资源,我们可以用它来满足对能源的需求。这种方法也可以减少地球上垃圾的堆积量。

【译文】对我一生最有影响的书
海伦写的《我的生活故事》是对我一生影响最大的一本书。此书全篇充满了勇气,奋斗和信仰。海伦?凯勒童年时曾经一度十分消沉,但是最后她决定克服自己生理上的缺陷去快乐地生活。而且她十分耐心地完成了漫长而艰难的学习过程。
最重要的是,从她的经历中,我领悟到了三个道理。首先,她教给我成功之路上经常要勇敢地面对艰难困苦。或许你一生下来身体就有缺陷,但是你依然可以得到比别人更好的机会。因此重要的是当需要勇气的时候,你必须鼓起自己的勇气。第二,她感官上的某些缺陷并没有阻止她的学习,相反地,她不断地努力去钻研知识,坚韧不拔的精神帮助她克服了很多障碍。第三,她建议我们应该很好地利用我们的感官,就好像我们马上就要失去他们一样,因为这样我们就会比以前更仔细地观察这个世界。
