Have you ever thought about eating your spoons?Well,it is now a reality.As everyone knows,plastic disposable (一次性的) tools have chemical materials,several of which are seriously dangerous.When these tools are thrown away,they will get into people's food in the end,which may cause cancer and influence people's nervous system(神经系统).What's more,waste that cannot be recycled is polluting the earth and doing harm to people and animals.This is why Narayana Peesapaty created edible (可食用的) spoons in India,because he couldn't bear plastic waste any more.
Peesapaty began his business,Backey,in 2011.He invented edible spoons that are made from flour(面粉).The spoons are unique as they are baked and for one-time use.After being used,the spoons can be eaten.If you do not want to eat them,that's OK.The edible spoons can be kept for three years and can disappear within four or five days after you throw them.The edible spoons even come in three different tastes to suit the food that they are served with:natural,sweet or hot.While the plastic spoons used to leave a bad taste on the food you eat,the edible spoons will never have a bad influence on your tasty food,
Peesapaty is now gaining more attention because there will be more money from others for him to produce soup spoons,regular spoons,dessert spoons,forks and even chopsticks.

Chinese buyers used to prize foreign brands,thinking that products made by American or European companies are of higher quality than Chinese ones.Increasingly,that's no longer the case.
Chinese people born before 1985 generally think that foreign brands(品牌)are better than Chinese ones,billionaire William Li told Business Insider during a recent interview on CCTV -9.But for those who were born after 1985,it is a different picture. " When I first went to the UK in 1997,I thought that the difference between China and Europe was quite big," Li said. " But for those born in the 1990s,when they visit Europe or the US,they do not think there is a big difference."
The change in thinking among Chinese buyers is showing up in many markets in China where Western companies used to control.A study by Credit Suisse published in March found that young Chinese buyers are increasingly showing a " home brand bias(偏爱)".More than 90%of young Chinese buyers would prefer to buy home appliance brands,according to the study.Meanwhile,home companies producing food,drinks,or personal care products increased their share of the market by 3.3% over the last ten years to nearly 70% " Chinese buyers,especially the younger ones,don't just believe that foreign brands are better,Right now,Chinese buyers think China is good and ‘ Made in China' is not bad a all," Charlie Chen,head of China buyer research at Credit Suisse,told South China Morning Post in March.
The Chinese smartphone market is controlled by home companies-Huawei,Oppo,Vivo,and Xiaomi Appeisthe only foreign brand in the top five,but it has lost large ground to the home brands in recent years.Its market share is believed to be down to 37% from a 2015 high of 54%.

阅读下面短文,从各小题所给的四个选项中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的一个最佳答案。
More Chinese universities are opening their libraries to the public,allowing people to enjoy reading during normal time and the vacations.
But for some students,including Wang Ling,21,in Sun Yat-sen University,this practice has caused headaches. " Members of the public come to our library more for sightseeing than reading," said Wang. "They sometimes even bring their kids along,and take photos as if it were a place of interest." Wang has found it hard to get a seat during busy times.Being short of space is a common problem for university libraries in China.
However,this is not the only reason why students dislike their libraries being open to members of the public.They fear that the quietness of the libraries will be influenced because of visitors' rude behavior.
Chen Jie,18,a student in Tongji University,is one who would be against opening to the public."I have been to a public library before.People were chatting loudly or speaking on cellphone so you can hardly read," Chen said.She notices teachers doing serious reading and feels their concentration(专注) has influenced her. "If too many strangers stay here,the whole library will be a noisy place and it's difficult for us to study quietly," she said.
Will there be alternative ways to share those libraries?Some experts consider that university libraries can prevent the public from entering certain areas." We might keep magazines for academic research only for teachers and students,"said Zhu Lina,the library director in Jinan University.
Working together with the community library is another solution.It's possible that a member of the public can order book in our library over the Internet," Ge Jianxiong,the library director in Fudan University said." Well send it to a public library close to their home."
(1)We can see from the passage that Wang Ling .
A.likes to study in the library
B.prefers sightseeing to reading
C.feels good to play with kids
D.is a university student aged 21
(2)In Chen Jie's opinion,visitors to university libraries may .
A.take up too much space
B.break the peace there
C.make teachers relaxed
D.get students to read more
(3)The writer mentions two library directors' words to help explain how to
A.manage libraries online
B.keep the public polite
C.share university libraries
D.do scientific research
(4)The underlined word "alternative" in the fifth paragraph means .
