In the United States alone, over 100 million cell-phones are thrown away each year. Cell-phones are part of a growing mountain of electronic waste like computers and personal digital assistants. The electronic waste stream is increasing three times faster than traditional garbage as a whole.
Electronic devices contain valuable metals such as gold and silver. A Swiss study reported that while the weight of electronic goods represented by precious metals was relatively small in comparison to total waste, the concentration (含量) of gold and other precious metals was higher in? So-called e-waste than in naturally occurring minerals.
Electronic wastes also contain many poisonous metals. Even when the machines are recycled and the harmful metals removed, the recycling process often is carried out in poor countries, in practically uncontrolled ways which allow many poisonous substances to escape into the environment.
Creating products out of raw materials creates much more waste material, up to 100 times more, than the material contained in the finished products. Consider again the cell-phone, and imagine the mines that produced those metals, the factories needed to make the box and packaging(包装) it came in. Many wastes produced in the producing process are harmful as well.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency notes that most waste is dangerous in that “the production, distribution, and use of products — as well as management of the resulting waste — all result in greenhouse gas release.” Individuals can reduce their contribution by creating less waste at the start — for instance, buying reusable products and recycling.
In many countries the concept of extended producer responsibility is being considered or has been put in place as an incentive (动机) for reducing waste. If producers are required to take back packaging they use to sell their products, would they reduce the packaging in the first place?
Governments’ incentive to require producers to take responsibility for the packaging they produce is usually based on money. Why, they ask, should cities or towns be responsible for paying to deal with the bubble wrap (气泡垫) that encased your television?
From the governments’ point of view, a primary goal of laws requiring extended producer responsibility is to transfer both the costs and the physical responsibility of waste management from the government and tax-payers back to the producers.
1.By mentioning the Swiss study, the author intends to tell us that __________.
A. the weight of e-goods is rather small
B. natural minerals contain more precious metals
C. E-waste deserves to be made good use of
D. the percentage of precious metals is heavy in e-waste
2.The responsibility of e-waste treatment should be extended __________.
A. from producers to governments B. from distributors to governments
C. from individuals to distributors D. from governments to producers
3.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The increase in e-waste. B. The management of e-waste.
C. The seriousness of e-waste. D. The creation of e-waste.
Suppose you become a leader in an organization. It’s very likely that you’ll want to have volunteers to help with the organization’s activities. To do so, it should help to understand why people undertake volunteer work and what keeps their interest in the work.
Let’s begin with the question of why people volunteer. Researchers have identified several factors that motivate people to get involved. For example, people volunteer to express personal values related to unselfishness, to expand their range of experiences, and to strengthen social relationships. If volunteer positions do not meet these needs, people may not wish to participate. To select volunteers, you may need to understand the motivations of the people you wish to attract.
People also volunteer because they are required to do so. To increase levels of community service, some schools have launched compulsory volunteer programs. Unfortunately, these programs can shift people’s wish of participation from an internal factor (e.g., “I volunteer because it’s important to me”) to an external factor (e.g., “I volunteer because I’m required to do so”). When that happens, people become less likely to volunteer in the future. People must be sensitive to this possibility when they make volunteer activities a must.
Once people begin to volunteer, what leads them to remain in their positions over time? To answer this question, researchers have conducted follow-up studies in which they track volunteers over time. For instance, one study followed 238 volunteers in Florida over a year. One of the most important factors that influenced their satisfaction as volunteers was the amount of suffering they experienced in their volunteer positions. Although this result may not surprise you, it leads to important practical advice. The researchers note that attention should be given to “training methods that would prepare volunteers for troublesome situations or provide them with strategies for coping with the problem they do experience”.
Another study of 302 volunteers at hospitals in Chicago focused on individual differences in the degree to which people view “volunteer” as an important social role. It was assumed that those people for whom the role of volunteer was most part of their personal identity would also be most likely to continue volunteer work. Participants indicated the degree to which the social role mattered by responding to statements such as “Volunteering in Hospital is an important part of who I am.”Consistent with the researchers’ expectations, they found a positive correlation (正相关) between the strength of role identity and the length of time people continued to volunteer. These results, once again, lead to concrete advice: “Once an individual begins volunteering, continued efforts might focus on developing a volunteer role identity.... Items like T-shirts that allow volunteers to be recognized publicly for their contributions can help strengthen role identity”.
1.People volunteer mainly out of __________.
A. internal needs B. social expectations
C. financial rewards D. academic requirements
2.What can we learn from the Florida study?
A. Follow-up studies should last for one year.
B. Strategy training is a must in research.
C. Volunteers should get mentally prepared
D. Volunteers are provided with concrete advice..
3.What is most likely to motivate volunteers to continue their work?
A. Individual differences in role identity. B. Role identity as a volunteer.
C. Publicly identifiable volunteer T-shirts. D. Practical advice from researchers.
4.What is the best title of the passage?
A. How to Get People to Volunteer B. How to Study Volunteer Behaviors
C. How to Keep Volunteers’ Interest D. How to Organize Volunteer Activities
Freedom and Responsibility
Freedom’s challenge in the Digital Age is a serious topic. We are facing today a strange new world and we are all wondering what we are going to do with it.
Some 2,500 years ago Greece discovered freedom. Before that there was no freedom. There were great civilizations, splendid empires, but no freedom anywhere. Egypt and Babylon were both tyrannies, one very powerful man ruling over helpless masses.
In Greece, in Athens (雅典), a little city in a little country, there were no helpless masses. And Athenians willingly obeyed the written laws which they themselves passed, and the unwritten, which must be obeyed if free men live together. They must show each other kindness and pity and the many qualities without which life would be very painful unless one chose to live alone in the desert.The Athenians never thought that a man was free if he could do what he wanted. A man was free if he was self-controlled. To make yourself obey what you approved was freedom. They were saved from looking at their lives as their own private affair. Each one felt responsible for the welfare of Athens, not because it was forced on him from the outside, but because the city was his pride and his safety. The essential belief of the first free government in the world was liberty for all men who could control themselves and would take responsibility for the state.
But discovering freedom is not like discovering computers. It cannot be discovered once for all. If people do not prize it, and work for it, it will go. Constant watch is its price. Athens changed. It was a change that took place without being noticed though it was of the extreme importance, a spiritual change which affected the whole state. It had been the Athenian爷s pride and joy to give to their city. That they could get material benefits from her never entered their minds. There had to be a complete change of attitude before they could look at the city as an employer who paid her citizens for doing her work. Now instead of men giving to the state, the state was to give to them.What the people wanted was a government which would provide a comfortable life for them; and with this as the primary object, ideas of freedom and self-reliance and responsibility were neglected to the point of disappearing. Athens was more and more looked on as a cooperative business possessed of great wealth in which all citizens had a right to share.
Athens reached the point when the freedom she really wanted was freedom from responsibility.There could be only one result. If men insisted on being free from the burden of self-dependence and responsibility for the common good, they would cease to be free. Responsibility is the price every man must pay for freedom. It is to be had on no other terms. Athens, the Athens of Ancient Greece, refused responsibility; she reached the end of freedom and was never to have it again.
But, “the excellent becomes the permanent”, Aristotle said. Athens lost freedom forever, but freedom was not lost forever for the world. A great American, James Madison, referred to: “The capacity (能力) of mankind for self-government.” No doubt he had not an idea that he was speaking Greek. Athens was not in the farthest background of his mind, but once man has a great and good idea, it is never completely lost. The Digital Age cannot destroy it. Somehow in this or that man’s thought such an idea lives though unconsidered by the world of action. One can never be sure that it is not on the point of breaking out into action only sure that it will do so sometime.
1.What does the underlined word “tyrannies” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Countries where their people need help. B. Governments ruled with absolute power.
C. Splendid empires where people enjoy freedom. D. Powerful states with higher civilization
2.People believing in freedom are those who __________.
A. behave within the laws and value systems B. seek gains as their primary object
C. regard their life as their own business D. treat others with kindness and pity
3.What change in attitude took place in Athens?
A. The Athenians benefited spiritually from the government.
B. The Athenians no longer took pride in the city.
C. The Athenians refused to take their responsibility.
D. The Athenians looked on the government as a business.
4.What does the sentence “There could be only one result.” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Athens would continue to be free.
B. Athens would cease to have freedom.
C. Freedom would come from responsibility.
D. Freedom would stop Athens from self-dependence.
5.Why does the author refer to Aristotle and Madison?
A. The author is proud of man’s capacity. B. The author is cautious about self-government.
C. The author is skeptical of Greek civilization. D. The author is hopeful about freedom.
6.What is the author’s understanding of freedom?
A. Freedom can be more popular in the digital age.
B. Freedom needs to be guaranteed by responsibility.
C. Freedom should have priority over responsibility.
D. Freedom may come to an end in the digital age.

Imagine being given the opportunity to wake up to lions, eat your meals with monkeys, and even share your bath with bears, all from the comfort of a unique new lodging experience.
The Jamala Wildlife Lodge opened its doors in January 20xx, which was set up in an effort to educate visitors about aiding the survival of many of the world’s endangered species.
“It’s great for the animals; they’re going to get more space. It’s great for the viewing public; they’re going to get more things to see. It will be great for tourism and just for the local community,” said Richard Tindale, the owner and operator.
Spreading across three locations in the National Zoo, the 18 rooms, which range from giraffe tree houses to jungle bungalows, offer a fantastic experience with wildlife.
The Giraffe Treehouse
The Giraffe Treehouse is set among the giraffe enclosures, and the Jungle Bungalows are luxurious individual houses which are next to either lion, cheetah(猎豹), brown bear, or Malaysian sun bear enclosures.
The Ushaka House
Housing up to 26 people, the Ushaka House is built around the monkey enclosure and has a built-in aquarium which offers private views of some of the zoo’s sharks.
The Burley Griffin House
Only meters from the edge of Lake Burley Griffin, the indoor and outdoor entertaining areas have splendid views across the lake to Black Mountain.

When Cherry Watson travelled on a recent flight from New York to Washington and noticed an “awful tension” in the cabin, she first thought it was caused by typical bad-tempered passengers. But as the flight neared its end, it became obvious that something was very wrong.
A teenage boy with Down Syndrome (唐氏综合症) who was traveling with his family had become upset and would not return to his seat, regardless of the cabin crew’s warnings over the loudspeaker that it was almost time to land. The pilot was forced to circle above the airport, delaying the landing and angering people on the already tense flight.
“If it was a cartoon,” remembered Watson, “there would have been smoke coming out of people’s ears.”
The boy’s elderly parents and adult brothers and sisters tried to persuade him to get off the floor and back into his seat, but in vain.Watson, who used to be a teacher, stood up and quickly headed to the back of the plane.
She found the boy in the passage between rows of seats, lying on his belly, and lay down on her stomach to face him. She began chatting calmly with him, asking his name, his favorite book, and his favorite characters. He told her he felt sick and she tried to comfort him.
Minutes later, he allowed her to hold his hand, and then together they got properly back into airplane seats. Watson asked for sick bags, and held them as the boy threw up several times, including on her. As she helped him clean up, she repeatedly told him everything would be okay and that they’d get through it together.
After the plane was finally able to land, no one was impatient to step off the flight as one might expect. Instead, calmed passengers—obviously following Watson’s amazing example—allowed the boy and his family to depart first, smiling at them as they passed. His parents tearfully thanked Watson for what she had done, and a doctor sitting nearby also let her know he had even taken notes on her expert way of handling the situation.
1.The landing was delayed because _____.
A. the plane was out of control.
B. the pilot was forced to change the destination
C. a family ignored the warnings
D. a boy refused to sit in his seat
2.Watson successfully handled the “awful tension” by _____.
A. fighting against unfair treatment
B. calling on other passengers to join her
C. asking an experienced doctor to help
D. communicating with the boy
3.What changed the angry passengers’ attitude at last
A. Watson’s efforts. B. The plane’s safe landing.
C. The crew’s behavior. D. The boy’s improvement.
4.Which of the following words can best describe Watson
A. Patient and ambitious. B. Kind and cool-headed.
C. Wise and cooperative. D. Generous and cautious.
5.What can be inferred from the passage
A. Watson was not a teacher when taking the plane.
B. Smoke came out of passengers’ ears.
C. The boy could not speak because of Down Syndrome.
D. The passengers were out of patience when the plane landed.
We all have our own idea of what the perfect smile should look like, whether we show a mouthful of whites or keep our lips closed and turned up at the corners. When we think of the perfect smile, we often picture someone grinning, with all of our teeth showing, But based on new findings, less is actually more. Nathaniel Helwig and his colleagues at the University of Minnesota discovered that a successful, genuine smile actually rests less on showing teeth and more on facial balance and symmetry(对称).
For the study, researchers looked at 3D computer-animated facial models of more than 800 participants. The computer-animated facial models went through a series of facial transformations, with researchers changing the mouth angle, amount of teeth shown, and the degree of the smile. Participants were then asked to rate the models’ smiles based on effectiveness, genuineness and pleasantness.
The results of the study found that the most successful smile had a perfect balance of teeth, an ideal mouth angle, and a smile length that extended to what was called the “sweet spot.” Smiles that showed a quick sync(同步)of the left and right side of the face during smiling were also more highly related.
Smiling makes up a good part of our nonverbal communication, making it easier to draw people to you and also seem sincere. It’s also worth noting that a perfect smile could help improve your health too.
1.What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “grinning” in the first paragraph
A. Talking softly. B. Smiling widely.
C. Chatting cheerfully. D. Eating healthily.
2.Which aspect should be considered when rating the smiles in the study
A. How pleasant it makes people feel.
B. Whether it improves health.
C. How successful smiling people are.
D. Whether it lasts long enough.
3.What makes the perfect smile based on the new study
A. White teeth. B. Smile length.
C. Facial balance. D. Lip corners.
4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the study
A. A perfect smile has a positive effect on your health.
B. A perfect smile means showing all your teeth.
C. The less you smile, the more you can show.
D. A perfect smile involves only a balance of teeth.
5.Where does this text probably come from
A. A book review. B. A science report.
