The black robin is one of the world’s rarest birds. It is a small, wild bird. It living only on the island of
Little Manger off the coast of New Zealand. In 1967, there was about fifty black robins there; in
1977 there were fewer than ten. There are only black robins left in the world. The island has many
other birds, of course, of different kinds, large and small. These birds seem to multiply very happy.
Energetic steps are being took to preserve the black robin- to guard those remaining and to increase
their number. Detailed studies are going on, and a public appeal for money has been made. The idea
is to buy another island nearly as a special home, a “reserve”, for threatening wild life, including black
robins. The organizers say that Little Manger should then be restocked with the robin’s food- it eats
only one kind of seed- and so renewed for it. Thousands of required plants are at present being
cultivated in New Zealand. The public appeal is aimed on the conscience of mankind, so that the wild
black robin will not die out and disappear from the earth in our time at least.

Before the grass has thickened on the roadside verges and leaves have started growing on the
trees is a perfect time to look around and see just how dirty Britain has become. The pavements are
stained with chewing gum that has been spat out and the gutters are full of discarded fast food
cartons. Years ago I remember traveling abroad and being saddened by the plastic bags, discarded
bottles and soiled nappies at the edge of every road. Nowadays, Britain seems to look at least as
bad. What has gone wrong?

The problem is that the rubbish created by our increasingly mobile lives lasts a lot longer than
before. If it is not cleared up and properly thrown away, it stays in the undergrowth for years; a
semi-permanent reminder of what a tatty little country we have now.

Firstly, it is estimated that 10 billion plastic bags have been given to shoppers. These will take
anything from 100 to 1,000 years to rot. However, it is not as if there is no solution to this. A few
years ago, the Irish government introduced a tax on non-recyclable carrier bags and in three
months reduced their use by 90%. When he was a minister, Michael Meacher attempted to
introduce a similar arrangement in Britain. The plastics industry protested, of course. However, they
need not have bothered; the idea was killed before it could draw breath, leaving supermarkets free
to give away plastic bags.

What is clearly necessary right now is some sort of combined initiative, both individual and
collective, before it is too late. The alternative is to continue sliding downhill until we have a country
that looks like a vast municipal rubbish tip. We may well be at the tipping point. Yet we know that
people respond to their environment. If things around them are clean and tidy, people behave
cleanly and tidily. If they are surrounded by squalor, they behave squalidly. Now, much of Britain
looks pretty squalid. What will it look like in five years?
1. What is the main topic of this passage?
A. The tax on non-recyclable carrier bags.
B. How dirty Britain has become.
C. The plastics industry.
D. How people respond to their environment.
2. What is NOT MENTIONED in the passage?
A. Stained pavements. B. Plastics industry.
C. Recyclable carrier bags. D. Municipal rubbish tip.
3. For the writer, the problem is that ___________
A. rubbish is not cleared up. B. rubbish last longer than it used to
C. our society is increasingly mobile. D. Britain is a tatty country.

B. tried to follow the Irish example with a tax on plastic bags.

C. there is no alternative. D. we need to work together to solve the problem.
