26、 One of the problems damaging our planet is the number of things we throw away. Rubbish of all kinds is piling up in landfill and polluting our rivers and oceans. A more recent addition to the list of things we chuck away is e-waste — electronic items that are broken and not recycled. Now solutions are being found to give this stuff a new life.
Many millions of tonnes of televisions, phones, and other electronic equipment are discarded each year, partly because it’s cheaper to replace them than fix them, but also because we lack the skills to repair them. A UN report claims the 50 million tonnes of e-waste generated every year will more than double to 110 million tonnes by 2050, making it the fastest growing waste stream in the world.
However, there’s a growing trend for repair events and clubs which could be part of a solution to the growing amount of electrical and electronic junk. The BBC visited a Restart Project in London, which is one of many founded around the world. One of its volunteers, Francesco Calo, said that “this project allows you to reduce waste, extend the life of objects, and it helps people who cannot afford to get rid of items that have developed a fault.”
As many electrical items contain valuable metals, another idea is e-waste mining. An experiment at the University of New South Wales involves extracting (提取) these materials from electronic gadgets. It’s thought that doing this could be more profitable than traditional mining. With phones typically containing as many as 60 element, this could be part of the solution to our appetite for new technology.
These projects make total sense — collections of e-waste for recycling are “stagnating (停滞不前) or even decreasing” according to Ruediger Kuehr, of the United Nations University And in countries where there is no legislation, much of it just gets dumped. However, the European Union, for example, is trying to tackle the problem by insisting manufacturers have to make appliances longer-lasting and will have to supply spare parts for machines for up to 10 years.
【1】According to the passage, electronic items are thrown away because ________.
A.they are totally useless
B.we have to recycle them
C.they will pollute our rivers and oceans
D.it’s cheaper to replace them than fix them
【2】What is leading to the rise in e-waste?
A.Growing trend for repair events.
B.E-waste generating cleaner energy.
C.Our being hungry for new technology.
D.Mining valuable metals in electrical items.
【3】What do we know about e-waste?
A.E-waste used to be the fastest growing waste stream in the world.
B.Tremendous amounts of e-waste are thrown away each year.
C.We can’t find the solution to the problem of c-waste.
D.Land-filling allows us to reduce e-waste.
【4】Which is the best title for the passage?
A.Solving the Problem of E-waste
B.How to Stop Damaging Our Planet
C.Saying No to Throwing Away Things
D.How to Collect E-waste for Recycling
27、 Many of us spend part of each day surrounded by strangers, whether on our daily commute (上下班往返), or sitting in park or cafe. But most of them remain just that-strangers. However, new evidence has shown that plucking up (鼓起) the courage to strike up conversation might be good for our health.
Nicholas Epley from the University of Chicago and Juliana Schroeder from the University of California are behavioural scientists. They wanted to know whether solitude is a more positive experience than interacting with strangers, or if people misunderstand the consequences of distant social connections. They found that many people feel uncomfortable and frightened talking to others and their research suggested that when we make an initial conversation “we consistently underestimate (低估) how much a new person likes us.” It seems we think that all the things could go wrong and why someone wouldn’t want to talk with us.
Their research involved an experiment with a group of Chicago commuters and found that “every participant in our experiment who actually tried to talk to a stranger found the person sitting next to them was happy to chat.” From this and other research, the conclusion is that connecting with strangers is surprisingly pleasant and it has a positive impact on our wellbeing. It’s true that talking can make you feel happier and happiness can lead to better mental health.
However, if you’re’ an introvert (性格内向者), the thought of speaking to someone new might make you anxious. But the American research found “both extroverts (性格外向者) and introverts are happier when they are asked to behave in an extroverted manner.” So maybe, if you’re a loner, it’s time to come out of your shell and make some small talk with a stranger-it could be the beginning of a new friendship.
【1】What does the underlined word“solitude”in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Being calm. B.Being pleasant. C.Being alone. D.Being healthy.
【2】Why might we not want to speak to a stranger?
A.Because we don’t trust a new person.
B.Because we can’t find a common topic.
C.Because we like distant social connections.
D.Because we carry a negative voice in our head.
【3】What could help start a new friendship?
A.Making a small talk. B.Sitting next to a stranger.
C.Sharing personal details. D.Behaving in polite manner.
【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.How to be an extrovert. B.Talking to strangers.
C.How to speak to strangers. D.Making new friends.
