About 540, 000 students from 72 countries and regions took part in the assessment in 2015.US scores in reading and science were about the same as three years ago, leaving Americans near the middle of the
32、bigger group. But the situation in math is much more worrying. The US average score was 470, below the OECD(经合组织) test average of 490, meaning the US was No. 40 among the 72 countries and areas. It was 12 points lower than in 2012 and 18 points lower than in 2009. So, what is going on with American

39、 teach mathDWe have to admit that many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for 9environment friendly products have actually contributed to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, a
40、nd metal containers are produced and these are difficult to get rid of.However, today, more and more consumers are choosing “green” and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they take action to buy a product, they ask questions like these “Will this shampoo
41、add damage to the environment?” “Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?”A recent study showed that two out of five adults now take the environmental safety of a product into account before they buy it. This means that companies must now adjust the way they make and sell thei
42、r products to make sure that they are “green”, that is, friendly to the environment.Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds of them advocating green.
