閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)題目要求用英文回答問題。（共1小題，第40、41題各2分，第42題3分，第43題5分，共12分）

• 10．閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)題目要求用英文回答問題。
  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？
  

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

  
  （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.
  

  
  （4）Please briefly present your own solutions to the plastic pollution problem in your daily life. （In about 40 words）
