C
There are energy savings to be made from all recyclable materials, sometimes huge savings. Recycling plastics and aluminum, for instance, uses only 5% to 10% as much energy as producing new plastic or smelting (提炼) aluminum.
Long before most of us even noticed what we now call “the environment,” Buckminster Fuller said, “Pollution is nothing but the resources (资源) we are not harvesting. We allow them to be left around because we’ve been ignorant of their value.” To take one example, let’s compare the throw away economy (经济) with a recycling economy as we feed a cat for life.
Say your cat weigh 5 kg and eats one can of food each day. Each empty can of its food weighs 40 g. In a throw away economy, you would throw away 5,475 cans over the cat’s 15-year life time. That’s 219 kg of steel — more than a fifth of a ton and more than 40 times the cat’s weight.
In a recycling economy, we would make one set of 100 cans to start with, then replace them over and over again with recycled cans. Since almost 3% of the metal is lost during reprocessing, we’d have to make an extra 10 cans each year. But in all, only 150 cans will be used up over the cat’s lifetime — and we’ll still have 100 left over for the next cat.
Instead of using up 219 kg of steel, we’ve used only 6 kg. And because the process of recycling steel is less polluting than making new steel, we’ve also achieved the following significant savings: in energy use — 47% to 74%; in air pollution — 85%; in water pollution— 35%; in water use — 40%.
28.What does Buckminster Fuller say about pollution?
A. It is becoming more serious.
B. It destroys the environment.
C. It benefits the economy.
D. It is the resources yet to be used.
29.How many cans will be used up in a cat’s 15-year lifetime in a recycling economy?
A. 50.
B. 100.
C. 150.
D. 250.
30.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To promote the idea of recycling.
B. To introduce an environmentalist.
C. To discuss the causes of pollution.
D. To defend the throwaway economy.

How to Remember What You Read
Reading is important. But the next step is making sure that you remember what you’ve read! 31 You may have just read the text, but the ideas,concepts and images(形象)may fly right out of your head. Here are a few tricks for remembering what you read.
● 32
If the plot, characters, or word usage is confusing for you, you likely won’t be able to remember what you read. It’s a bit like reading a foreign language. If you don’t understand what you’re reading, how would you remember it? But there are a few things you can do... Use a dictionary; look up the difficult words.
● Are you connected?
Does a character remind you of a friend? Does the setting make you want to visit the place? Does the book inspire you, and make you want to read more? With some books, you may feel a connection right away. 33 How willing are you to make the connections happen?
● Read it; hear it; be it!
Read the lines. Then, speak them out loud. And, put some character into the words. When he was writing his novels, Charles Dickens would act out the parts of the characters. He’d make faces in the mirror, and change his voice for each character. 34
● How often do you read?
If you read frequently, you’ll likely have an easier time with remembering what you’re reading and what you’ve read. 35 As you make reading a regular part of your life, you’ll make more connections, stay more focused and understand the text better. You’ll learn to enjoy literature — as you remember what you read!
A. Are you confused?
B. Practice makes perfect.
C. What’s your motivation?
D. Memory is sometimes a tricky thing.
E. Marking helps you remember what you read.
F. But other books require a bit more work on your part.
G. You can do the same thing when you are reading the text!
