Massachusetts (美国一州名) became the first state in the nation to ban the dumping (倾倒;抛弃) of electronic equipment such as computer monitors and television sets. It means people there can no longer put computer monitors, TV sets and other devices containing glass picture tubes out on the street for pickup by garbage cleaners.

Official said much of this equipment is loaded with poisonous heavy metals such as lead, cadmium and mercury. These poisonous heavy metals could go into groundwater or be released (释放) into the air.

The Boston Globe reports the state has set up a system to recycle techno-garbage at state expense through community recycling centers.

Robin Ingenthron of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection said the state has been trying to get its electronics-recycling program in place ‘before the future wave of electronics hits’. The National Safety Council estimates some 300 million computers will enter the nation’s waste system in the next few years.

In addition, millions of people will be getting rid of their old television sets. New high-quality digital televisions and new rules will make old TV sets no longer in use over the next several years.

The word ‘techno-garbage’ in the 3rd paragraph probably means ________.

A. all kinds of dirty things                         B. deserted TV sets

C. heavy metals                                         D. used electronic equipment

The passage tells us chiefly about __________.

       A. forbidding of a certain type of garbage dumping

       B. new problems of environmental protection

       C. household problems raised by computers and TV sets

       D. the handling of garbage

     Which is NOT a reason that the state enforces (强制执行) a ban on electronic equipment dumping?

       A. This kind of garbage is poisonous.

       B. Recycling systems are not working well.

       C. The poisonous heavy metals can go to the underground water and the air.

       A. they are broken                  B. they are poisonous

       C. new TV standards have come out    D. people will be tired of them

　　More than four out of five people admit to telling little white lies at least once a day and the preferred way of “being economical with the truth” is to use technology such as cell phones, texts and e-mails, a survey last Thursday said.

　　The research by UK pollsters 72 Point found that “techno-treachery(高科技说谎)” was wide-spread with nearly 75 percent of people saying gadgets made it easier to fib(撒小谎).

　　Just over half of respondents(被调查者) said using gadgets made them feel less guilty when telling a lie than doing it face to face.

　　The workplace was a favorite location for fibbing with 67 percent of the 1,487 respondents admitting they had lied at work.

　　The top lie was pretending to be ill (43 percent) followed by saying work had been completed when it hadn’t (23 percent). Worryingly for bosses 18 percent said they lied to hide a big mistake.

　　But, employers were not the only ones on the receiving end of dishonest statements. Just over 40 percent of the respondents said they had lied to their families or partners.

　　Key topics to lie about were: buying new clothes or the cost of them (37 percent), how good someone looked in something (35 percent), how much they had eaten (35 percent) and drunk (31 percent) and how much they weighed (32 percent).
