Wrapping paper(包装纸) may have “paper” in its name, but that doesn’t mean it can be recycled. 11 Try the following advice to reduce wrapping paper you throw away.
Reuse what you have. 12 It’s reported that the US produces 4. 6 million pounds of wrapping paper every year, and 2. 3 million pounds of that stays in people’s homes, waiting to be reused.
Use different materials. 13 Choose basic brown thick paper that can be made up with leaves, pinecones(松果) or markers. You can also use newspapers, old posters and children’s school artworks as wrapping paper. When decorating a present, there are plenty of other eco-friendly alternatives(替代物) to wrapping paper.
14 Use baskets, gift boxes or bags, tea towels, and more to show your presents. Learn the Japanese art of wrapping, using beautiful knots(绳结) to fasten colourful, reusable cloth in attractive ways. This way, you’ll have no wrapping paper waste to deal with.
Ask for better paper. Shops store what customers want, and recyclability should be thought first, so let that be known when you’re out shopping. Make paper with recycling in mind! 15

解析：
【分析】本题为英语词汇运用题，主要考查词性转换、名词单复数、固定搭配及动词形式变化等知识点。解题时需结合句子结构（如系动词后接形容词、定冠词后接名词、主语与谓语一致等）、语境及中文提示，确定每个空格处单词的正确形式。
【解析】1. 句中feel为系动词，后需接形容词作表语，名词luck的形容词形式为lucky，故填lucky。
2. 定冠词the后需接名词，动词begin的名词形式为beginning，the beginning of是固定短语，意为“……的开端”，故填beginning。
3. 谓语动词look为原形，说明主语需用复数形式，可数名词strawberry的复数是变y为i加es，且句首单词首字母大写，故填Strawberries。
4. 固定短语rainy day意为“雨天，（喻指）困难时期”，此处需形容词修饰名词day，名词rain的形容词形式为rainy，故填rainy。
5. 固定短语daily lives意为“日常生活”，此处需形容词修饰名词lives，名词day的形容词形式为daily，故填daily。
6. 中文提示“要紧”对应动词matter，主语it为第三人称单数，一般现在时中动词用第三人称单数形式，故填matters。
7. 中文提示“习惯”对应名词habit，前面有不定冠词a，需用单数形式，故填habit。
8. 中文提示“教育”对应名词education，前面有不定冠词a，需用单数形式，故填education。
9. 中文提示“令人惊奇的事情”对应名词surprise，此处为可数名词单数，故填surprise。
10. 中文提示“多彩的”对应形容词colourful，修饰名词lakes，故填colourful。
【答案】1. lucky 2. beginning 3. Strawberries 4. rainy 5. daily 6. matters 7. habit 8. education 9. surprise 10. colourful
