Mussels in Port Phillip Bay are taking in microplastics used in cosmetics（化妝品）.The microplastics travel from bathroom sinks to the ocean，where they are easily confused with seaweeds.Because the mussels cannot tell the difference，they take in the plastic along with their normal diet of seaweeds.
   According to researcher Dr Charlene Trestrail，the plastic doesn't affect mussels directly，but it does reduce their ability to digest the real food.It means they miss out on energy and nutrients，which affects their ability to grow and reproduce.
   "Besides being a tasty treat for humans，mussels play an important role in keeping marine ecosystems healthy，" Dr Trestrail said. "And because of the reduced ability to grow and reproduce，we could see a drop in mussel populations，with knock-on effects for other marine wildlife."
   While environmental campaigners have worked hard to reduce the amount of plastic in the oceans from easily visible items such as shopping bags and packaging，most people are not aware of the impact of microbeads and other hidden plastics in products including toothpaste or bath scrubs.
   "We know lots about how plastics affect animals externally—we've all seen photos of birds and turtles twisted in plastic—but this is the first study to investigate how tiny plastics affect animals' stomachs，" Dr Trestrail said.
   There has been a push in recent years to reduce microplastic pollution.But while the Government has supported phasing out（淘汰） microbeads，some cosmetics industries stopped short of banning their use.
   We need to take pollution from microplastics seriously.Because they're so small，once they're in the ecosystem they are impossible to remove.The only solution is not to use them in the first place.

（1）Why do mussels eat microplastics？

Because microplastics are easily confused with seaweeds，and the mussels cannot tell the difference./Because the microplastic gets mixed up with the seaweeds on which mussels live and they cannot tell the difference./Because the mussels cannot tell the difference between microplastics and seaweeds.

（2）What will eventually happen to mussels if they eat microplastics mistakenly？

The mussels' population will drop./We can see a drop in the mussels population./Because of the reduced ability to grow and reproduce，we could see a drop in mussel populations，with knock-on effects for other marine wildlife./After eating microplastics，it will affect their ability to grow and reproduce./It does reduce their ability to digest the real food.It means they miss out on energy and nutrients，which affects their ability to grow and reproduce.

（3）Please decide which part is false in the following statement，then underline it and explain why.
? The first thing to solve microplastic pollution is not to use microplastics and some cosmetics industries agreed to stop using microbeads.

The first thing to solve microplastic pollution is not to use microplastics and some cosmetics industries agreed to stop using microbeads. According to the passage，while the Government has supported phasing out（淘汰） microbeads，some cosmetics industries stopped short of banning their use.That means they didn't agree to stop using microbeads.
