36、ve what the government did was right.

37、 not know what to do with old televisions or computers, so they throw them in the trash.National Solid Wastes Management Association (NSWMA) state programs director Chaz Miller says the large amount of electronic waste Americans produce is not unexpected.The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

38、estimates more than 400 million consumer electronic items are dumped each year, and there is a push by more states to ban the waste from landfills(垃圾填埋场) and create recycling programs. They can be torn apart and sorted for useable parts. Mike Fannon who runs the plant in Baltimore, says, There are a

39、 lot of valuable metals that can be recovered and reused instead of just putting them in the landfill, and in certain components, there are some materials that should not really be in the landfill, Fannon explains.

This year, several states like Vermont imposed a ban on electronic waste in landfill

41、s. More than 25 other states have also adopted landfill bans, e-waste recycling programs or both.

In the twentieth cent

47、ury extensive new fields for advertising opened up with the invention of radio and television. 38 For example, radio and television ads are costly. But they reach a vast audience. This makes them worthwhile and cost-effective for the advertisers. Newspaper ads can feature coupons(赠券) or information

48、that can be clipped and saved. Magazines often appeal directly to special groups, such as sports fans or teenagers.

75、ut the discussion weve had about whether students retake classes after failing the college entrance examination. Opinions are various on the question.Many students are against the idea of retaking classes.They think it unfair for the students who take the exam for the first time.Besides,it also adds

76、 the family burden. So many of them suffer mental pressure as well as economic problems. Others think that it can be done because through one more year of hard study, they can make better preparations and may get a chance to enter their ideal universities.Afer all, the kind of university they enter,an important turning point in life, will directly affect their future employment. However, I think, this depends on different situations.If one student has no chance to be admitted to one university, maybe he can choose to retake classes.Yours truly,Li Hua版权所有：高考资源网()版权所有：高考资源网()
