II/ Read the following passage and choose the best answers (1.5 pts)
Paper and paper products can be easily recycled. Cardboard, newspaper, and high-quality papers can
all be recycled. Different kinds of paper - like newsprint and high-quality white paper - are sorted into
separate piles because they are processed differently.
Paper is recycled by shredding it into small pieces and mixing it with water. The mixture is beaten into
mush, called pulp, that flows onto a moving screen where most of the water is taken out. Wood or paper
fibers remain and the fiber is pressed through rollers that squeeze out more water. It is then dried in a
steam - heated dryer. The result is recycled.
