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 motto 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 amount 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. Question 40: What is the main topic of the passage? A. how to reduce garbage disposal B. what people often understand about the term 'recycle' C. what is involved in the recycling movement D. how to live sensitively to the environment. Question 41: What does the word 'sensitive' in the phrase 'sensitive to the environment' mean? A. cautious B. logical C. friendly D. responding Question 42: People can do the following to reduce waste EXCEPT____. A. buy high-quality product B. buy simply-wrapped things C. reuse cups D. buy fewer hamburgers Question 43: Why is it a waste when customers buy low-quality products? A. Because people will soon throw them away. B. Because they have to be repaired many times. C. Because customers change their ideas all the time. D. Because they produce less energy. Question 44: The word 'motto' is closest in meaning to_________ A. meaning B. value C. belief D. reference Question 45: What best describes the process of reuse? A. The bottles are collected, washed, returned and filled again. B. The bottles are filled again after being returned, collected and washed. C. The bottles are washed, retuned, filled again and collected. D. The bottles are collected, returned filled again and washed. Question 46: The garbage dumps in some areas have relatively little glass and plastic because_____. A. people are ordered to return bottles. B. returned bottles are few. C. not many bottles are made of glass or plastic. D. each returned bottles is paid. Question 47: The word 'practice' is closest in meaning to_________ ` A. drill B. deed C. exercise D. belief Question 48: What are the two things mentioned as examples of recycling? A. Aluminum cans and plastic wrappings. B. Hamburger wrappings and spent motor oil. C. Aluminum cans and spent motor oil. D. TV sets and aluminum cans. Question 49: The energy used to make a can is________ the energy used to run a color TV set for 3 hours. A. as much as B. less than C. not worth being compared to D. more than Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following the questions. You can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on their faces or by their actions. This is useful because reading their emotional expressions helps you to know how to respond to them. Emotions have evolved to help us respond to important situations and to convey our intentions to others. But does raising the eyebrows and rounding the mouth say the same thing in Minneapolis as it does in Madagascar? Much research on emotional expressions has centered on such questions. According to Paul Ekman, the leading researcher in this area, people speak and understand substantially the same “facial language”. Studies by Ekman’s group have demonstrated that humans share a set of universal emotional expressions that testify to the common biological heritage of the human species. Smiles, for example, signal happiness and frowns indicate sadness on the faces of people in such far- flung places as Argentina, Japan, Spain, Hungary, Poland , Sumatra ,the United States, Vietnam, the jungles of New Guinea , and the Eskimo villages north of Artic Circle. Ekman and his colleagues claim that people everywhere can recognize at least seven basic emotions: sadness, fear, anger, disgust, contempt, happiness, and surprise. There are, however, huge differences across cultures in both the context and intensity of emotional displays – the so called display rules. In many Asian cultures, for example, children are taught to control emotional responses – especially negative ones- while many American children are encouraged to express their feelings more openly. Regardless of culture, however, emotions usually show themselves, to some degree , in people’s behavior. From their first days of life, babies produce facial expressions that communicate their feelings. The ability to read facial expressions develops early, too. Very young children pay close attention to facial expressions, and by age five, they nearly equal adults in their skill at reading emotions on people’s faces. This evidence all points to a biological underpinning for our abilities to express and interpret a basic set of human emotions. Moreover, as Charles Darwin pointed out over a century ago, some emotional expressions seem to appear across species boundaries. Cross - cultural psychologists tell us that certain emotional responses carry different meanings in different cultures. For example, what emotion do you suppose might be conveyed by sticking out your tongue? For Americans, this might indicate disgust, while in China it can signify surprise. Likewise, a grin on an American face may indicate joy, while on a Japanese face it may just as easily mean embarrassment. Clearly, culture influences emotional expressions.

A. observing their looks B. watching their actions C. observing their emotional expressions D. looking at their faces Question 51: Many studies on emotional expressions try to answer the question whether ______.
