26、   We all agree that we should recycle more at home, in the office or when out and about. 【1】 As a result, they can be collected and taken to the right place for recycling. This is what the process of sorting allows us to do.

【2】 And the effective sorting needs to happen first in our own home, and second in sorting plants to which waste is collected. When you put a plastic bottle in the right recycling bag or bin, you are helping sort recyclable things so that the right material can be fed into the right recycling process. If sorting does not happen, a lot of recyclable materials can end up in landfills. It will lead to valuable resources lost from our economy.

【3】 For instance, in Brussels consumers put plastic packaging, cans and soft drink cartons in blue bags designed for recyclable packaging; paper in yellow bags for recycling; and glass needs to be taken to specific collection bins. Somewhat differently, in Vienna(Austria), citizens can expect their paper, metal, glass and plastic to be separately collected in different weeks of the year. 【4】.

Once recyclable materials are collected from your home, they are further sorted in specialized facilities which ensure the quality of the recycling process. 【5】 Traditionally, sorting has been done either by hand with workers sorting what can be recycled and picking out the materials to be thrown away. Today, however, new sorting technologies are being developed in order to speed up the process of sorting but to also cause better results. Exciting technologies using magnets or optical systems are being used to effectively sort materials so more of them can be recycled.

A.Packaging is the first step towards recycling.

B.For effective recycling we need effective sorting.

C.So citizens need to be aware of their local collection system.

D.This is where different sorting techniques come into play.

E.The rest were landfilled or burned even though they could have been recycled or reused.

F.Collection systems can be very different from country to country.

G.But for materials to be recycled, they first need to find their way to the right waste bin.

29、   While retiring ahead of time may be easier on the body, a new set of research has found that it may not be so beneficial to the mind. The study, carried out at Binghamton University, finds that an early retirement can speed up the usual rate of cognitive (认知的)decrease among the elderly.

The research team studied China's new rural pension (退休金)system, as well as China's most recent Retirement Longitudinal Survey ( CHARLS), in order to look into the effects of early retirement and pension benefits on individual cognition among adults over the age of 60. After going over all of the data, the research team noted a clear direction: people receiving pension benefits were experiencing much more rapid mental decline (智力下降)than those still on the workforce. Surprisingly, women seemed to experience even sharper mental decline after retiring early. Overall, the results support the view that decreased mental activity speeds up cognitive decline.

Nikolov, the lead researcher, had actually carried out former studies that found retirement led to a number of physical health benefits for retirees, such as improved sleep patterns, less stress, and reduced alcohol consumption. However, retirement also usually goes with a decline in social activities and less communication with people, which has also been linked to cognitive decline.

“For cognition among the elderly, it looks like the bad effect on social connection is more than the good effect of the program on fitness and sleep,” Nikolov says. “ Or social connection may simply be the single most powerful factor for cognitive performance in old age.”

The research team are hopeful that their findings will be considered by older adults when thinking about retirement, but perhaps more importantly, they hope that policy makers in developing countries take note while drawing up new pension plans. They suggest building social get-togethers and work shops for recent retirees to help cut down the decline in social communication and creative thinking that often comes along with retirement.

【1】Which of the following best describes retiring ahead of time for the mind?

A.Useless. B.Beneficial. C.Damaging. D.Improving.

【2】Who mentally suffered most according to the research?

A.Men retiring on former plan. B.Women over the age of 60.

C.Men retiring ahead of time. D.Women retiring early.

【3】What will retirement bring to the elderly?

A.Shorter sleep time. B.Fewer social activities.

C.More financial stress. D.Less time with family members.

【4】What can we learn about the research team's suggestion?

A.The government should make new policy.

B.People should build more shops for the elderly.

C.The retirement in developing countries should be common.

D.The newly retired people should communicate more.
