Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often mea

20、ns we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place. The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005.

21、 It now makes up a third of a typical households waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste. If su

22、ch packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy.

It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to t

24、hink that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.

There was another European explorer who reached this continent several years after Columbus. This mans name was Ameri

29、ca Vespucci, and he called this land a New World. America Vespucci and Columbus had much in common. Like Columbus, Vespucci was an Italian who settled in Spain. Like Columbus, Vespucci made several trips to the New World, his first trip being in 1499. In 1505, several letters thought to have been wr

30、itten by Vespucci were published. One of these letters said that “Vespucci found a new continent with more people and more animals than in Europe, Asia and Africa”.

34、 animals. The writing of a geography book.A. B. C. D. DJack Vance is one of the greatest science fiction writers of all time. He has won two Hugo awards for two novels: The Dragon Masters and The Last Castle. These have long been associated with each other, not just because they have both won Hugo a

35、wards, but also because they share certain themes. Both stories are set in the future, and they feature humans enslaving (奴役) aliens. In each, the plot turns to a war between the humans and the aliens. In The Dragon Masters, after the war the humans that remain are mostly slaves of aliens except on

36、one planet where a few remain free. In fact, these free humans have captured (捕获) some aliens and are keeping them as slaves. The hero, Joaz Banbeck, has predicted that many aliens will come to their planet some day, and he tries to organize a group to defend the planet. The story works its way to a

37、 reasonable and rather bitter and unchangeable conclusion. In The Last Castle a group of decadent (颓废的) humans have returned to the long-abandoned Earth and set up a weak society in several castles. All of the work is performed by various alien races.

38、s, always keep a special technology. The Meks finally revolt (反抗). Using their control of the technology, they destroy all of the castles except the strongest one, Castle Hagedorn. Then the story turns to the ineffective attempts of the humans to fight against the aliens. Most of them care too much

39、about their “honor” and do nothing, and others refuse to kill the aliens. The prose (散文体) and characterization here are more effective than in The Dragon Masters, but the plot is less convincing (令人信服的).32.

What do you hear? 36 Its similar to the music you listen to, but its not exactly the same. Thats because this music was especially designed to relax you, or to give you extra

44、energy. Sometimes you dont even realize the music is playing, but you react to the music anyway.

About one-third of the peo

45、ple in America listen to Muzak everyday. The music plays for 15 minutes at a time, with short pauses in between.

46、ably recognize the names of many of the songs. Some musicians or songwriters dont want their songs to be used as Muzak, but others are happy when their songs are chosen.
