XI 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 questions
In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe,
recycling is the big news People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be
sensitive to the environment Recycling means finding ways 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 high-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 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
36. What is the main topic of the passage?

C How to live sensitively to the environment
D How to reduce garbage disposal
37. Which is described as one of the most industrialized areas?
38 What does the word 'sensitive' in the phrase 'sensitive to the environment' in paragraph 1 mean?

39. People can do the following to reduce waste EXCEPT
A buy simply-wrapped things B reuse cups
C buy high-quality products D. buy fewer hamburgers
40. Why is it a waste whencustomers buy low-quality products?
A Because they produce less energy
B Because they have to be repaired many times

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

The third step 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
