Britain has long been known for its love of tea, but people in London also drink a lot of coffee. In fact, it is reported that the average Londoner drinks 2.3 cups of coffee every day. And now, waste coffee grounds (渣滓) will be used to help fuel part of the city’s transportation system.
A technology company announced on Monday that some buses will be using a biofuel that contains coffee oil. The company, called Bio-bean and its partner, Argent Energy, say they have made enough coffee oil to power one of London’s famous double-decker buses (双层巴士) for a year. The announcement made Bio-bean a trending story on social media.
The government agency Transport for London has been turning to biofuels to cut production of carbon emissions. A carbon emission is a gas produced by the burning of carbon. The gas is released into the atmosphere. London’s mayor, Sadiq Khan, said last month his city has a “health crisis caused directly by poor-quality air.” The government has taken steps to discourage people from driving cars that do not meet European Union emissions requirements.
Bio-bean said Londoners produce over 200,000 tons of coffee ground waste a year. The company said it collects waste grounds from chain coffee shops and factories. The grounds are dried and processed to remove the coffee oil.
“It’s a great example of what can be done when we start to re-imagine waste as an untapped (未利用的) resource,” said Bio-bean founder’s Arthur Kay. The coffee fuel technology has received support from the oil company Royal Dutch Shell. 32. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Tea is very popular with British people.
B. Londoners love drinking coffee as well as tea at present. C. Nowadays, Londoners prefer drinking coffee to drinking tea.
D. Waste coffee grounds will be made good use of in London’s transportation system. 33. What made the company Bio-bean much-concerned on social media?

During this winter vacation, I worked as a volunteer guide in the National Museum of China. It was an extreme unforgettable opportunity.
A few days before the vacation, I applied the job online. Not long before, I was lucky enough to be given the job. Then I attended a 5-day training course as soon as the vacation begun. I was taught how to be both an informative or entertaining tour guide. This was very useful, as I have not done this type of work before.
