Recycling
One of the most important changes in how modern societies respond to the problems of waste and its disposal is the development of techniques and processes for recycling materials that have been thrown away. Of course, recycling means that the material was cycled before. What the word really means is that the material has gone from a raw material to a factory or production process to use by a consumer. Most plastics, for example, began as crude oil from oil wells. A manufacturing process changes some of the chemicals in oil to plastics. The plastics are made into thousands of products and sent on to consumers who use them. When consumers are finished with their plastic bottles or toys or packages, they throw them away.
Unfortunately, as we often see on automobile bumper stickers, "Throw it away？ There is no away." What that means, of course, is that as we produce more and more waste, safe and easy places to put it are be coming fewer and fewer. Moreover, oil for plastics, trees for paper, and coal and oil to make heat for glass and metal production are also becoming harder to find and more expensive. One solution that can help solve problems of both supply and disposal is recycling, or using the same material more than once.
As an idea, recycling has been around for a long time. In fact, we might say that it has always been around, as long as people have used something after it has been used for something else. Using a coconut shell as a container after the coconut has been eaten may have occurred long ago. Glass jars are used to store screws or nails in many homes. Many industries have reused materials. Steel mills have added old steel to their furnaces, and glass companies have done the same with old glass. Paper has also been reused. In recent years, however, recycling is being seen as a more and more important way to reduce waste and the use of raw materials.
Many cities in the United States have begun recycling programs for household waste. Household waste, or the trash and garbage that we throw away from our homes, is made up mostly of paper. Food is the second largest part, but glass and metal are the next largest. Together, paper, glass, and metal make up almost 75 percent of the trash we throw away. If we could recycle much of that, we could greatly reduce the amount of trash we have to find a place for.
Some governments are also requiring more recycling. Japan already recycles about 50 percent of its household trash. The German government now has a very strict law requiring that most plastics and metal be recycled. This law has made a big change in the way automobiles are built and sold. Under the new law, automobile manufacturers must buy a car back when it is no longer useful. The car must then be separated into materials that can be recycled—metals, plastics, glass, and so on. This law has made automobile manufacturers think more carefully about the kinds of materials that go into automobiles and how those materials are used.
Recycling does not always go smoothly. Sometimes industries are not able to use all of the old material that is available.If paper manufacturers cannot use all of the old paper that is available, there will be no one to buy it and it will still have to be thrown away. The same is true for many metals and plastics. In Germany, problems have developed with their new law, because more materials are being recovered than manufacturers of new items can use. The government has to buy these materials, and it is costing a lot of money.
Closely related to the problem of usability is the problem of cost of recovery. There are many types of plastics, and not all of them can be reused or reused together. They have to be separated, cleaned, and sorted. Automobiles are made up of many types of metals and plastics. Separating all of these materials and recovering them for re

Recycling Resources (资源再生)
Increased population increases the need for natural resources and also increases waste products．Making a new useful product out of a waste product decreases our need for natural resources． Recycling means using something over again after it has been used once.
Have you ever seen a piece of recycled paper？ About one third of all the paper products made each year are made from waste paper．For example, recycled paper is usually used to make paper sacks． 'Recycling paper, such as newspapers, reduces the number of trees that must be cut each year to make new paper.
Each person produces a lot of solid waste．In the United States, the average is eight kilograms of waste per person each day．Most of the waste is garbage and rubbish．Finding places to dispose of solid waste is a major problem.
In many cities solid.wastes are collected and the rubbish is burned in incinerator plants (焚化厂)．Air pollution control devices are used to prevent pollution Heat produced in the burning may be used to generate electricity．Waste that is not burned is taken to a dump． One kind of dump for the disposal of solid wastes is a sanitary(卫生的)landfill（垃圾填埋场）． This method involves burying the waste and bulldozing (用推土机推) soil over them． Parks, baseball fields, airports, and other developments may be buiIt on completely filled landfills,
Recycling solid wastes decreases our need for methods of disposal．The metal in broken cars can be recycled and made into new steel．Worn out rubber tires can be turned into new ones and used again．Plastics and other rubber products can be recycled．Metal cans and glass bottles can also be recycled．Increased recycling can help meet the increased demand for natural resources.
By recycling resources, people imitate nature．Elements important to life are naturally recycled．Nothing lasts forever．Wooddecays, iron rusts (生锈), and concrete is worn away by wind and rain．All natural resources used by people eventually go back into the air, water, and earth.

A．Expansion of cities.
B．Development of the paper making industry.
C．Increased population.
D．Lack of recycling methods
第3题
M: Of course not. I'm just going over to the recycling center this afternoon. Sometimes volunteers come by these apartments and collect waste paper. Sometimes I take the old bottles and papers there myself.
W: How do people deal with these old things？
M: Manufacturers use waste paper for things like paper bags, towels, napkins and boxes.
W: My god! Am I wiping my mouth on the towels from the dustbin？
M: You can't say so. Used material must be treated carefully and scientifically before reusing. For instance, an old newspaper can be recycled by de-inking and pulping.
W: Does the recycled paper look the same as the paper made from virgin wood pulp？
M: Well, inevitably, owing to its dingy color, art books and high quality magazine paper wouldn't use recycled paper. However, I suppose it's suitable for things like greeting cards, calendars and writing paper. After all, who cares about the drab color if waste paper can help to preserve forests？
W: Yes, forests may be one of the most valuable natural resources in the world. Regretfully, some people in my country haven't realized the importance of the environment protection.
M: In America, a few years ago people were really enthusiastic about reusing waste paper. But with the decreasing demand recently, interest has been waning. I think the government should do something to make people resume their enthusiasm in recycled paper.
W: Absolutely right. In addition, manufacturers need to find new commercial uses for recycled paper. Perhaps we can read comic books made from it just like in Japan.

One of the most comprehensive ventures was the restoration and transformation of Boston's eighteenth century Faneuil Hall and the Quincy Market, designed in 1824. This section had fallen on hard times, but beginning with the construction of a new city hall immediately adjacent, it has returned to life with the intelligent reuse of these fine old buildings under the design leadership of Benjamin Thomson. He has provided a marvelous setting for dining, shopping, professional offices, and simply walking.
Butler Square, in Minneapolis, exemplifies major changes in its complex of offices, commercial space, and public amenities carved out of a massive pile designed in 1906 as a hardware warehouse. The exciting interior timber structure of the building was highlighted by cutting light courts through the interior and adding large skylights.
San Antonio, Texas, offers an object lesson for numerous other cities combating urban decay. Rather than bringing in the bulldozers, San Antonio's leaders rehabilitated existing structures, while simultaneously cleaning up the San Antonio River, which menders through the business district.
What is the main idea of the passage？
A．During the 1970's, old buildings in many cities were recycled for modern use.
B．Recent interest in ecology issues has led to the cleaning up of many rivers.
C．The San Antoino example shows that bulldozers are not the way to fight urban decay.
D．Strong government support has made adaptive rehabilitation a reality in Boston.

第6题
W: By saving water.
M: Well, can you explain how we can do that？
W: By not using too much water when we wash dishes, take a bath, and when we do other things, like watering the plants outside.
M: Oh, I think I can do that. What else？
W: When drinking or eating something outside, you should keep the garbage until you find a trashcan to put it in because littering makes our planet dirty. Do you like seeing trash all over the ground？
M: No, I don't. Do you have any final suggestions？
W: Yes. We shouldn't waste paper because trees are being cut down to make the paper. By recycling paper, we save the forests where animals live.
M: So, how can children recycle paper, I mean, everyday？
W: Well, for example, when I was in kindergarten, I used to save the newspapers so that I could have things made out of them, like paper trees, instead of just throwing them away. Now, the children in our neighborhood collect newspapers once a month to take them to a recycling center.
M: That's great. Well thanks Alex for your ideas.
