III. Read the passage and choose the correct answer.

In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas. North America and Europe, recycling is
big news. People are talking about it, practicing it , and discovering new ways to be sensitive to the

environment. Recycling means finding was to use products a second time. The belief of the recycling
movement is " Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".

The first step is to reduce garbage. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes and
expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging: usually
paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things that are
wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high- quality products.
When low- quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new ones - a loss of more
resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high- quality appliance that can be easily
repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way, if a customer chooses a product
with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the
throwaway must stop.

The second step is to reuse. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After customers
empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the bottles , wash
them , and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In some parts of the
world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage dumps have relatively
little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.

The third step is being environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and used

again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same a mount of energy to make one aluminum can
as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle aluminum (for new cans),
they help save one of the world's precious resources.

14. Which is described as one of the most industrialized areas?

15. The word ' precious' is closest in meaning to__________.

A. first B. invaluable C. natural D. substantial

16. Why is it a waste and customers buy low- quality products?
A. Because people will soon throw them away.

B. Because they produce less energy.

C. Because customers change their ideas all the time. 
D. Because they have to be repaired many times

by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, where she worked most of her life.

Carson’s book , Under the Sea Wind, was published in 1941. It received excellent reviews, but sales
were poor until it was reissued in 1952. In that year, she published The Sea Around Us, which provided a
fascinating look beneath the ocean’s surface, emphasizing human history as well as geology and marine
biology. Her imagery and language had a poetic quality. Carson consulted no less than 1,000 printed sources.
She had voluminous correspondence and frequent discussions with experts in the field. However, she always
realized the limitations of her non technical readers.

In 1962, Carson published Silent Spring, a book that sparked considerable controversy. It proved how
much harm was done by the uncontrolled, reckless use of insecticides. She detailed how they poison the food
supply of animals, kill birds and fish, and contaminate human food. At the time, spokesmen for the chemical
industry mounted personal attacks against Carson and issued propaganda to indicate that her findings were

flawed. However, her work was vindicated by a 1963 report of the President’s Science Advisory Committee.

wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high- quality products.
When low- quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new ones - a loss of more
resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high- quality appliance that can be easily
repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way, if a customer chooses a product
with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the
throwaway must stop.

The third step is being environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and used
again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same a mount of energy to make one aluminum can
as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle aluminum (for new cans),
they help save one of the world's precious resources.
