12．Besides giving off gases and dusts into the air，humans produce waste that is poured on the environment．Often，this waste produced by major industries and people is harmful to both nature and human life．
One of the main causes of the large amount of dangerous waste is that people do not realize how large a problem it is．Because it can be simply removed and sent to a landfill（废渣填埋场），the problem is often believed to end there．In addition，industries have often shown an unwillingness to find ways to deal with dangerous waste because of the re-lated expenses．Many industries and governments build simple landfills to store waste，and often just pour waste chemicals into nearby bodies of water．Often，chemicals used for industrial production cause dangerous forms of waste．The amount of these chemicals has increased greatly in the past，but it is often difficult and expensive to get rid of these chemicals or to store them in a way safe to human life and the environment．
Every year，major health problems result from dangerous waste．Sadly，it is often only after someone has died or become seriously ill that governments will take measures to reduce levels of harmful waste．
Some governments have realized how serious the dangerous waste problem is and are now trying to settle this problem．They are also trying to limit the amount of waste industries are allowed to produce．
Not only governments but ordinary people as well must work together to solve the problem．They can choose not to buy those products which require the production of dangerous waste，and produce less harmful waste themselves．Many scientists think that waste production can be cut．The waste can be reduced by at least one third using existing technologies and methods．
56．What would be the best title for the text？B
A．Measures of Reducing Dangerous Waste     
B．Danger of Harmful Waste to Mankind
C．Dangerous Waste and Water Pollution

A．do not produce harmful waste in their daily life
B．do not know where to place the dangerous waste

58．What troubles industries most in dealing with the dangerous waste problem？D
A．How to get government support．
B．How to increase their production．
C．How to store harmful waste．
D．How to cut down the related costs．
59．What can be inferred from the passage？A
A．To solve the problem requires the efforts of the whole society．
B．Present technologies have settled the harmful waste products．
C．Everyone should obey the government rules for the problem．
D．The polluting industries are not allowed to sell their products．

2．During the last fifteen years of my mother's life she suffered with Alzheimer's disease （老年痴呆）．Until then she had been a bright，cheerful woman deeply interested and involved in the world around her．I would go home to visit her in Virginia and she would look at me in a puzzled way and ask，"Who are you？"I would answer，"I'm your son．""Where do you live？"She would ask．"In California"，I would tell her．"Isn't that interesting，"she would say，"I have a son in California．"
She seemed simply forgetful and confused at the beginning of the disease，but later on she would go through periods of intense anxiety．She would pace through the house she had lived in most of her life crying uneasily that she wanted to go home．Or she would leave home and wander away if she were unattended for a short time．
Hoping to please her and put her mind at ease I would take her for a drive，visiting sites where she had lived as a child．In the yard of the hillside house in Shipman I sat in the car and admired the view of the old oaks and long green lawn．I pictured my mother there was a little girl playing with the pet lamb she had been so fond of．I looked to her for some response．She shook her head and said，"I want to go home．"
Over the years I have decided that what my mother was calling home was not a place，but a time．I suspect it was a time when she was much younger，when her children were still underfoot，when her husband was still vigorous and attentive．
Watching my mother's suffering set me wondering where I would have in mind if someday I couldn't find home and wanted to go there．In this family we tend to be long-lived and we grow fuzzy （糊涂的） minded as the years go by．At eighty I have already noticed some alarming symptoms．My doctor says the forgetfulness is only natural and that it comes with age．Still the fear of Alzheimer's is haunting there．Someday if and when I become even more cloudy minded than I am now，unable to drive and unable to tell you where"home"is，my dear son，I expect I will ask you to take me home，I know you will do your best to find the place I need to be．I leave these notes for your guidance．
