“You never know what you’re going to do each day,” Josefczyk said. Some of his assignments are planned far beforehand, and others are last-minute. He recently traveled to Florida and the Caribbean island of Cura?ao for a company photography project. After our interview, Josefczyk was heading off to photograph a speech by the President, who was visiting Ohio. A career (职业) in professional photography is certainly never boring.

The idea of turning recycled plastic bottles into clothing is not new. During the last five years, a large number of clothing companies, businesses, and environmental organizations have started turning plastics into fabric (织物) to deal with plastic pollution. But there’s a problem with this method. Research now shows that microfibers (超细纤维) could be the biggest source of plastic in the sea.
Dr. Mark Browne in Santa Barbara, California, has been studying plastic pollution and microfibers for 10 years now. He explains that every time synthetic (合成的) clothes go into a washing machine, a large number of plastic fibers fall off. Most washing machines can’t collect these microfibers. So every time the water gets out of a washing machine, microfibers are entering the sewers (下水道) and finally end up in the sea.
In 2011, Browne wrote a paper stating that a single piece of synthetic clothing can produce more than 1,900 fibers per wash. Browne collected samples (样品) from seawater and freshwater sites around the world, and used a special way to examine each sample. He discovered that every single water sample contained microfibers.
This is bad news for a number of reasons. Plastic can cause harm to sea life when eaten. Studies have also shown that plastic can absorb other pollutants.
Based on this evidence, it may seem surprising that companies and organizations have chosen to turn plastic waste into clothing as an environmental “solution.” Even though the science has been around for a while, Browne explains that he’s had a difficult time getting companies to listen. When he asked well-known clothing companies to support Benign by Design — his research project that seeks to get clothes that have a bad effect on humans and the environment out of the market — Browne didn’t get a satisfying answer. Only one women’s clothing company, Eileen Fisher, offered Browne funding.
5. What has happened during the past five years? A. Fabric has become much stronger.
B. Plastic pollution has been less serious. C. Many plastic bottles have been reused. D. Microfibers have been greatly improved.
6. What does Browne think of washing synthetic clothes? A. It is adding microfibers to the clothes. B. It is worsening environmental problems. C. It is making synthetic clothes last longer. D. It is doing great damage to washing machines.
7. What can be inferred about Browne’s Benign by Design research project? A. It has achieved great success. B. It hasn’t got anything done. C. It is known to very few people. D. It is facing some difficulties. 8. What’s the best title for the text? A. It’s important to learn to recycle
B. It’s never easy to solve pollution problems C. Recycled plastic clothing: solution or pollution? D. Are human beings moving forward or backward?

One possible version： Dear Mike,
How is everything going?
Our school will hold a music festival next month. I am one of the organizers. The task is a bit difficult because it is the first time that I have organized such an event.
You told me every year some interesting music events are held in your school. I know you are a music lover and have organized many music events. Would you please introduce some to me? Also, could you give me some suggestions about how to organize my school’s music festival?
I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours, Li Hua
