A. Cleaned Up Our Streets B. Made Us Healthie...

TV That Changed the World

1.The Simpsons____________

University of Pennsylvania Linguistics professor Mark Liberman wrote in 2005," The Simponshas apparently taken over from Shakespeare and the Bible as our culture's greatest source of idioms and catchphrases.” Liberman's comment sounds crazy---at least until you remember there's a Millhouse quote for every occasion .Even the gatekeeper of language, the Oxford English Dictionary has found a spot for Homer Simperson's trademark "D'oh!"

2.America's Most Wanted ____________.

The show has helped arrest over I,100 fugitives(逃犯）since its debut in 1988.Many people thought highly of the series as they could enjoy a safer community.

3.Glee________________

Fox scored a sleeper hit with the musical series in 2009.But the show's real impact came between airings. As most of the record industry failed .the Glee recordings found staggering success on iTunes .By the end of 2011, the cast had sold more 11 million albums and another 36 million single tracks. Meanwhile, the 2011 concert tour grossed more than $40 million.

4.Sex and the City__________

A 2011 Ohio State University study found that undergraduates who viewed an episode of Sex and the City were more than twice as likely to talk to their partners about sexual-health issues.

5.ER ____________

ER did more than make George Clooney a superstar. It also changed the way America ate. In three 2004 episodes, the show focused on the doctors' orders for a teenager with high blood pressure: exercise, and eat more fruits and vegetables. While the plot sounds humdrum, it scared viewers straight. In 2007, researchers from the University of Southern California's medical school found that viewers who caught these episodes had started walking or exercising more, eating more fruits and vegetables, or getting their blood pressure checked. How can anyone say watching TV is bad for you?

Cigarette butts (烟蒂) are everywhere - clogging up our streets, littering our beaches - and for decades they’ve been thought of as “unrecyclable”. But a New Jersey-based company, called TerraCycle, has taken on the challenge, and has come up with a way to recycle millions of cigarette butts and turn them into industrial plastic products. Its aim is to take items that people normally consider impossible to recycle, and then use science to figure out a way to do just that.

Despite the increase in anti-smoking ads and messaging over the past 20 years, global sales of cigarettes increased by 8 percent, and a whole lot of those cigarette butts are ending up as trash, which can surely pollute the surrounding environment.

So how do you go about turning all those poisonous ends into something useful? TerraCycle does this by first breaking them down into separate parts. They mix the remaining materials, such as the tobacco and the paper, with other kinds of rubbish, and use it on non-agricultural land, such as golf courses. The filters (过滤嘴) are a little harder. To recycle these, TerraCycle first makes them clean and cuts them into small pieces, and then combines them with other recycled materials, making them into liquid for industrial plastic products.

They now have more than 7,000 cigarette recycling bins in nine countries around the world. They’re also expanding their recycling offerings to the rest of the 80 percent of household waste that currently can’t be recycled, such as chocolate packaging, pens, and mobile phones. The goal is to use the latest research to find a way to stop so much waste ending up in. landfill (垃圾填埋), and then get companies to fund the process. And so far, it’s working.

“We haven’t found anything that we can’t recycle,” communications director of Terra Cycle, Albe Zakes, said. “But with the amount and variety of packaging and litter in the world, we are always looking for new waste streams to address.”

1.Which of the following is true according to the text?

A. It is impossible for the filters to be recycled.

B. Terra Cycle has achieved a lot in recycling what used to be considered “unrecyclable”.

C. Anti-smoking ads and messaging have led to people’s quitting smoking.

D. Mobile phones can’t be recycled by means of the latest research.

2.What can we learn about the approach to recycling cigarette butts?

A. Unbelievable and costly.

B. Excellent but hard to carry out.

C. Useless in dealing with other household waste.

D. Practical and environmentally friendly

3.The underlined word ‘“trash” in Paragraph 2 probably means 　　　　 .

A. mineral　　 B. fertilizer

C. rubbish　　 D. poison

4.In Albe Zakes’s opinion, 　　　　 .

A. TerraCycle has successfully recycled everything.

B. they still have a long way to go.

C. it will be too difficult for them to find new ways.

D. the public should be aware of the environmental pollution.
