But we could do more. People must not see recycling as fashionable流行的, but essential. The Japanese are very good at recycling because they live in a crowded country. They do not have much space. They do not want to share their limited space with rubbish. But even so, Tokyo area alone is estimated to have three million tons of leftover rubbish at present.In 1996, the United States recycled and composted (制成肥料)57 million tons of waste (27% of the nations solid waste). This is 57 million tons of waste which did not go into landfills and incineratiors (焚化炉). In doing this, 7,000 rubbish collection programmes and recycling centres helped the authorities.In Rockford, a city in Illinois, US, its officials choose one house each week and check its garbage (废物). If the garbage does not contain any newspapers or aluminium (铝) cans, then the resident of the house gets a prize of at least $ 1,000.In Japan, certain cities give children weekly supplies of tissue paper and toilet paper in exchange for a weekly collection of newspapers.In one year Britain recycles:l 1 out of every 3 newspapers. l 1 out of every 4 glass bottles and jars (罐子).l 1 out of every 4 items of clothing.l 1 out of every 3 aluminium drink cans.In 1999, Hong Kong transported 1.3 million tons of waste to mainland China for recycling. Around 535,000 tons of waste were recycled in Hong Kong itself.Over half the things we throw away could be recycled. That means we could recycle 10 times as much as we do now.However, recycling needs a lot of organisation and special equipment. Also, there is not much use for some recycled material.31. Which of the following is NOT true of the Japanese?A. They have recycled all their waste. B. They live in a crowded country.C. They are very good at recycling. D. They have to share their limited space with rubbish.32. How much waste did the US recycle in 1996?A. 1.3 million tons. B. 27 million tons. C. 53 million tons. D. 57 million tons.33. Where can people get a big prize for contributing to recycling? A. Tokyo B. Rockford. C. Hong Kong. D. London.34. In Japan, the newspapers collected by children A. are given to poor people. B. are used as reading materials. C. are recycled. D. are used as prizes.35. Which of the following is NOT true of Britain? A. It recycles 1 out of every 3 newspapers each year. B. It recycles 1 out of every 4 glass bottles and jars each year. C. It recycles 1 out of every 4 items of clothing each year. D. It recycles 1 out of every 3 aluminium cans each year.第二篇 Eat to LiveA meager diet may give you health and long life, but its not much funand it might not even be necessary. We may be able to hang on to1 most of that youthful vigor even if we dont start to diet until old age.Stephen Spindler and his colleagues from the University of California at Riverside have found that some of an elderly mouses liver genes can be made to behave as they did when the mouse was young simply by limiting its food for four weeks. The genetic rejuvenation wont reverse other damage caused by time for the mouse, but could help its liver metabolize drugs or get rid of toxins.2Spindlers team fed three mice a normal diet for their whole lives, and fed another three on half-rations3. Three more mice were switched from the normal diet to half-feed3 for a month when they were34 months oldequivalent to about 70 human years.The researchers checked the activity of 11,000 genes from the mouse livers, and found that 46 changed with age in the normally fed mice. The changes were associated with things like inflammation and free radical production4probably bad news for mouse health. In the mice that had dieted all their lives, 27 of those 46 genes continued to behave like young genes. But the most surprising finding was that the mice that only started dieting in old age also benefited from 70 per cent of these gene changes.“This is the first indication that these effects kick in5 pretty quickly,” says Huber Warner from the National Institute on Aging near Washington, D.C.No one yet knows if calorie restriction works in people as it does in mice, but Spindler is hopeful. “Theres attracting and tempting evidence out there that it will work,” he says.If it does work in people, there might be good reasons for rejuvenating the liver. As we get older, our bodies are less efficient at metabolizing drugs, for example. A brief period of time of dieting, says Spindler, could be enough to make sure a drug is effective.But Spindler isnt sure the trade-off is worth it, 6 “The mice get less disease, they live longer, but theyre hungry,” he says. “Even seeing what a diet does, its still hard to go to a restaurant and say” I can only eat half of that.”Spindler hopes we soon wont need to diet at all. His company, Life Span Genetics in California, is looking for drugs that have the effects of calorie restriction.练习：1.

Why does the author mention an elderly mouse in paragraph2?A) To describe the influence of old age on mice.B) To illustrate the effect of meager food on mice.C) To tell us how mices liver genes behave.D) To inform us of the process of metabolizing drugs.3. What can be inferred about completely normally fed mice mentioned in the passage?A) They will not experience free radical production.B) They will experience more genetic rejuvenation in their lifetime.C) They have more old liver genes to behave like young genes.D) They are more likely to suffer from inflammation.4. According to the author, which of the following most interested the researchers?A) The mice that started dieting in old age. B) 27 of those 46 old genes that continued to behave like young genes.C) Calorie restriction that works in people.D) Dieting that makes sure a drug is effective.5. According to the last two paragraphs. Spindler believes thatA) calorie restriction is very important to young people.B) Seeing the effect of a diet, people will eat less than normal.C) Dieting is not a good method to give us health and a long life.D) Drugs do not have the effects of calorie restriction. 第三篇 Too Late to Regret ItWhen I was a junior, I met a second-year student in my department. He wasnt tall or good-looking, but he was very nice, attractive and athletic. He had something that I admired very much. He was natural, warm, and sincere.I disregarded (不顾) my parents disapproval. We were very happy together. He picked me up from my dorm every morning, and after class we would sit alongside the stream that ran through campus, or sunbathe (晒太阳) on the lawn. At night he would walk me back to my dorm. He came from a poor family, but in order to make me happy, he borrowed money from his friend to buy presents and meals for me. Our fellow students looked up to him as a role model, and the girls envied (妒忌) me. He wasnt a local, but wanted to stay here after graduation. I thought we had a future together.However, when I got a part-time job during the summer vacation, people began giving me a lot of pressure, saying that a pretty, intelligent girl like me should find a better guy to spend time with. This was also what my family thought. He spent the summer in his hometown, so I was all by myself. When he got back, I began finding fault with him. But his big heart and warmth soon drove all unpleasant thoughts away. However, I had no idea how badly I had hurt him and that things would get worse.I had a good part-time job off campus that paid pretty well. With my good performance at school, I also got admission to graduate school at one of Chinas best universities. He, on the other hand, did not do so well at school or at work. I had to worry about his living expenses, job and scores.Almost all my colleagues and friends advised me to break up with him. Then we had a quarrel last June. He was in great pain, and my cold words and bad moods started turning him away.Graduation time was drawing near, and he said he wanted to go back to his hometown. He said that he couldnt put up with me anymore. I was shocked and looked at him in despair.True love happens only once, but I found it out too late.36. When did the author fall in love with the boy?
