Jacques-Yves Cousteau, the French explorer, once pointed out, “Population growth is the primary source of environmental damage.” Many experts are calling the growing problem of global waste a worldwide health crisis in that pollution from trash is not only harming the world’s oceans, air and soil but also endangering people’s health as well as the livelihood of all living creatures.

Reduce, reuse, recycle

Such a dilemma raises the question, is there a more responsible way of dealing with trash? Fortunately, there is. Living a zero-waste lifestyle is the way to go. One example of this is what’s often called the three R’s: reduce, reuse, recycle. Reducing the use of plastic containers as well as reusing and recycling bottles and cans decreases the amount of garbage being sent to landfills. As a result, less money is spent on waste management, and countries’ financial burdens are significantly relieved. Such positive effects on an economy is known as a circular economy.

Circular economy

Traditionally, manufacturers would make a product to be used and disposed of by consumers. This linear model of production offered no help in the fight against global waste. Alternatively, a circular economy was introduced. Once a product’s value is exhausted, the materials are recycled and returned to manufacturers. The outcome is less waste. One large-scale example of this is happening on the island of Taiwan.

4-in-1 Recycling Program

In 1997, Taiwan established its signature 4-in-1 Recycling Program, consisting of communities, recycling companies, government cleaning teams and the Recycling Fund. Residents separate their recyclable waste. The local government collection teams collect it. Recycling companies buy waste materials from them to make profits. Importers and manufacturers who are responsible for the recyclable products pay a fee into the Recycling Fund. The Recycling Fund is an essential aspect of the program used to subsidize(补贴) the recycling disposal system, support education and research and development as well as finance recycling efforts in the future.

Turning garbage into gold

By following a circular system, more products than ever are being manufactured using recycled materials. Environmentally-friendly decisions like these help to conserve natural resources, reduce pollution, save landfill space and even create new job opportunities. Recycling can truly turn garbage into gold.

1.According to the passage, the biggest challenge facing the world today is________ .

A.the rapid growth of population B.the overdeveloped manufacture

C.the world’s large amount of trash D.inappropriate use of plastic products

2.What is the aim of bringing in circular economy?

A.To save land and create wealth.

B.To minimize waste and restore used materials.

C.To support research and speed development.

D.To rid poor habits and encourage a new lifestyle.

3.Which of the following might be the best title for the text?

A.Zero-Waste, Full Recycle B.Circular Economy In Action

C.The World’s Recycling Companies D.A Worldsize Environmental Crisis

Jan. 7, 2008 --- French President Nicolas Sarkozy would marry his girlfriend, former supermodel Carla Bruni on Feb. 8 or 9, media reported Monday.

The report said that in December --- less than a month after Sarkozy met Bruni --- he gave her a heart-shaped diamond engagement ring.

Carla Bruni, Italian singer, former model and girlfriend of France’s President Nicolas Sarkozy, holds the hand of her son Aurelien while wearing a pink heart-shaped ring during a visit to the ancient Jordanian ruins of Petra Jan. 5, 2008. French newspapers reported that Sarkozy would marry her early in February.

Sarkozy and his wife of 11 years, Cecilia, divorced in October. Their marital（婚姻）problems became well known in May 2005 when she appeared in public at the side of event organizer Richard Attias.

A marriage to Bruni, a one-time star of the catwalks who is now a singer, would be Sarkozy’s third: He divorced his first wife, Marie, in the late 80s --- after he had met and befriended Cecilia.

Political analyst Dominique Moisi said that a Sarkozy proposal to Bruni could be part of his desire to head off any future arguments, and the speed of their visit to the ancient Jordanian ruins of Petra Jan. 5, 2008 would fit with his personality as a busy man in a hurry.

“Apparently, he’s going to marry her, so the problem will be behind him,” Moisi said. “He will increase the opportunities to travel with her, and to say to the French, ‘You see, I must remarry… You need a first lady.’”

Bruni, an Italian-born French citizen, has dated famous men including Mick Jagger and Donald Trump. She has also reportedly been linked to singer Eric Clapton and actor Vincent Perez.

1.What is the correct order of Sarkozy’s marital history?

A. Long marriage to Cecilia

B. Visiting ruins with Bruni

C. Getting divorced from Marie

D. Giving Bruni a diamond ring

E. To marry the former supermodel

A. c-a-b-d-e        B. e-d-c-a-b        C. c-a-d-b-e        D. a-c-d-b-e

2.What did Moisi really intend to inform the readers?

A. The president will spend more time staying with Bruni

B. Sarkozy is good at balancing state and personal affairs

C. It is not easy for President Sarkozy to seek a new love

D. It is a doubt whether the marriage would have a bright future

3.The possible purpose of the last paragraph is to _________

A. provide some unknown stories about Bruni’s love affairs

B. show uncertainty about the former supermodel’s loyalty

C. imply that past experiences have little effect on a person

D. prove Bruni one of the most popular and attractive females

4.Which would be the best title for the news?

A. Bruni, France’s first lady

B. A third marriage to fail

C. France to have first lady

D. President’s new girl friend
