【小题1】 The answer for most people would be yes. But where does our rubbish go？It doesn't just sit in the rubbish bin. Every day，workers come to take the rubbish from our rubbish bins. They put it into a big truck and carry it to landfills（垃圾填埋场）. At the landfill，people sort（分类）the rubbish. They recycle some，burn some and bury some of it underground. 【小题2】 It means that less rubbish ends up in landfills. Landfills can also be bad for the environment.

So many Chinese cities encourage everyone to sort out their rubbish before throwing it away. Put the food in one bag. Put the plastic bottles in another. And throw them in the right rubbish bins. In this way，we can help save a lot of time，money and energy for all of society. 【小题3】 so they have higher recycling rates（比率）. In Sweden，only 4 percent of household waste ends up in landfills every year. In Japan，people recycle nearly 50 percent of all rubbish. There is still a lot to do when it comes to rubbish sorting in China. People in the country make about 300 million tons of rubbish every year. 【小题4】 The rest of it ends up in landfils. Most of it is unsorted. The good news is that many cities are trying different ways to make things better. Beijing will start a new program to improve rubbish sorting next year. If people sort out their rubbish，they'll get WeChat bonus points. 【小题5】
