解答 Dear Editor,
Our student union has recently conducted a survey on what affects students'after-class reading.The result is as follows:
72% of the students think that schoolwork takes up most of their time,leaving very little time for after-class reading.(高分句型) Meanwhile,16% complain that their parents do not support them enough.Parents are concerned that their children's attention may be taken away by the non-school related reading.(高分句型)
Besides,8% of the students are not satisfied with the opening hour of the library and the limited book collections there.And 4% of the students think books are too expensive nowadays,so they can't afford to read as much as they want.(高分句型)
We all know that reading is beneficial.However,given the facts above,how can we read more?I would appreciate your advice very much on how to encourage our reading.(高分句型)
Sincerely yours,
Li Hua

The change over the last few years to low-top sneakers(运动鞋) seems to go against conventional wisdom.Strangely,(42)I,Steven Nash and Kobe Bryant,two of the most(43)J
players with the Los Angeles Lakers,aren't worried.
According to the US market-research firm NPD Group,high-tops once (44)A for about 20percent of the US basketball shoe market.Now,the number has sunk to about 8percent.Low-tops,the kind that Nash and Bryant wear,have grown to 29percent,from just 11percent in 2002.
High-top sneakers are one of the most celebrated (45)H in modern basketball.After the 1985Air Jordans so transformed the market,shoe companies began battling one another.They put air pumps in the tongues of their shoes and made carefully prepared and organized (46)C.
"All of a sudden it became a(47)K business,"Marshal Cohen,an analyst with NPD group,told The Wall Street Journal.The Jordans were excellent.The market went from being nothing to a million-dollar business (48)E."
One of the reasons high-tops are not so(49)D anymore is that they were never really very good at protecting the feet.
In an article in the British Journal of Sports Medicine in 2008,University of Newcastle researcher Craig Richards found no evidence that sneakers(50)B injuries.His research actually found that high-top basketball sneakers could even cause players to run slower and jump lower.Now,the contest has become a war.Companies like Adidas,Nike,Converse and Reebok are all fighting to create the next"Air Jordan,"and with the next market battle.
"Mobile data is not a dream; it's not an option but a requirement,"said Len Lauer,head of a U.S.Communications company,Sprint PCS,at a 3G conference in Bangkok earlier this month.
With 3G,you can forget about text messages telling you yesterday's news; a 3G phone can receive video news programs,updated four times a day.Internet access will also be much quicker,making it easier to surf the Web on your phone than on your computer at home.
Face-to-Face video calls
Don't worry about getting lost,3G phones offer map services so you can find a new restaurant just by pressing a few keys on your handset.
However,the most impressive part of 3G technology is video calling.With live two-way video communication,you can have face-to-face talks with friends and family on your mobile phone.
Many European countries have already launched the services.In May 2000the U.S.Government issued five license to run 3G wireless services,while the first 3G phones arrived in Italy in March this year.
International telecom companies can't wait to sell 3G in China,the world's largest mobile telecommunications market.But they will have to be patient.At the moment,China is busy testing its 3G-based technologies,networks and services.This will be followed by a trial period before the phones can finally hit the shops.
"We need to create a pool of 3G customers before the large-scale commercial launch of the service,"said Fan Yunjun,marketing manager for Beijing Mobile."We expect that the 3G licences will be issued late next year."

Only four percent of mobile phone-owning(35)Ain that age group have sent sexually suggestive pictures of themselves,a practice known as"sexting,"(36)Dthe Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project.
The Pew survey found that girls and boys were equally as likely to have sent a suggestive picture to(37)Bperson and(38)Cteenagers were more likely to have engaged in"sexting."
Eight percent of 17-year-olds with mobile phones have sent a sexually provocative(刺激的) image(39)Atexting and 30 percent have(40)Ba nude or nearly nude image on their phone.
Only four percent of 12-year-olds have sent suggestive images of(41)B.
Amanda Lenhart,a senior research specialist at Pew and the author of the report,said sexually suggestive images have become a(42)Dof"relationship currency"for teens.
"These images are(43)Aas a part of or instead of sexual activity,or as a way of starting or(44)Ca relationship with a significant other,"she said."And they are also passed(45)Ato friends for their entertainment value,as a joke or for(46)B."
"The desire for risk-taking and sexual exploration during the teenage years(47)Cwith a constant connection via mobile devices creates a'perfect storm'for sexting,"said Lenhart.
"Teenagers have always grappled with issues around sex and(48)D,but their coming-of-age mistakes transgressions have never been so easily(49)Aand stored for others to see,"she added.
The survey found that teens with unlimited text messaging plans were more likely to receive"sexts"(50)Aimages of people they know.About 75 percent of mobile phone owning teens have unlimited plans.
Among this group,Pew said 18 percent reporting receiving"sexts"(51)Bwith eight percent of teens on(52)Adata plans and three percent of teens who pay per message.
According to Pew,58 percent of 12-year-olds own a mobile phone and 83 percent teens aged 17(53)C.
Pew noted that a number of US states are grappling with how to(54)B"sexting"among minors and some legislatures(立法机关) have stepped in to consider laws that would downgrade charges from felonies(重罪) to misdemeanors(轻罪).
Pew conducted telephone interviews with 800 teens aged 12 to 17 and their parents between June 26 and September 24.

WHY BURN WASTE?
Waste-to-energy plants generate (产生) enough electricity to supply 2.4million households in the US.But,providing electricity is not the major advantage of waste-to-energy plants.In fact,it costs more to generate electricity at a waste-to-energy plant than it does at a coal,nuclear,or hydropower plant.
The major advantage of burning waste is that it considerably reduces the amount of trash going to landfills.The average American produces more than 1,600pounds of waste a year.If all this waste were landfilled,it would take more than two cubic yards of landfill space.That's the volume of a box three feet long,three feet wide,and six feet high.If that waste were burned,the ashes would fit into a box three feet long,three feet wide,but only nine inches high!
Some communities in the Northeast may be running out of land for new landfills.And,since most people don't want landfills in their backyards,it has become more difficult to obtain permits to build new landfills.Taking the country as a whole,the United States has plenty of open space,of course,but it is expensive to transport garbage a long distance to put it into a landfill.
TO BURN OR NOT TO BURN?
Some people are concerned that burning garbage may harm the environment.Like coal plants,waste-to-energy plants produce air pollution when the fuel is burned to produce steam or electricity.Burning garbage releases the chemicals and substances found in the waste.Some chemicals can be a threat to people,the environment,or both,if they are not properly controlled.
Some critics of waste-to-energy plants are afraid that burning waste will hamper (妨碍,阻碍) recycling programs.If everyone sends their trash to a waste-to-energy plant,they say,there will be little motive to recycle.Several states have considered or are considering banning waste-to-energy plants unless recycling programs are in place.Massachusetts,New Jersey,and New York City have delayed new waste-to-energy plants,hoping to increase the level of recycling first.
So,what's the real story?Can recycling and burning waste coexist?At first glance,recycling and waste-to-energy seem to be at odds (不一致),but they can actually complement (弥补) each other.That's because it makes good sense to recycle some materials,and better sense to burn others.
Let's look at aluminum,for example.Aluminum mineral is so expensive to mine that recycling aluminum more than pays for itself.Burning it produces no energy.So clearly,aluminum is valuable to recycle and not useful to burn.
Paper,on the other hand,can either be burned or recycled-it all depends on the price the used paper will bring.
Plastics are another matter.Because plastics are made from petroleum and natural gas,they are excellent sources of energy for waste-to-energy plants.This is especially true since plastics are not as easy to recycle as steel,aluminum,or paper.Plastics almost always have to be hand sorted and making a product from recycled plastics may cost more than making it from new materials.
To burn or not to burn is not really the question.We should use both recycling and waste-to-energy as alternatives to landfilling.
Waste to Energy-JUST BURN IT!
WHY BURN WASTE? | Advantages of waste to Energy | ◆Though at a high (71)cost,waste-to-energy plants can produce enough electricity for 2.4million US households. ◆Burning waste can (72)reduce/prevent/stop a considerable amount of trash going to landfills. |
(73)Difficulties for landfilling | ◆Some communities (74)lack land for new landfills. ◆Most people refuse to build landfills around. ◆Building landfills in far-away areas will increase the cost of (75)transporting garbage. | |
TO BURN OR NOT TO BURN? | (76)Concerns/Worries about burning garbage | ◆Burning garbage releases chemicals,which,if not properly controlled,can be (77)harmful/dangerous to people and the environment. ◆Burning garbage will hamper recycling programs. |
Coexistence of recycling and burning waste | Recycling and waste-to-energy can go well with each other in that some materials like aluminum are fit to recycle,while others like plastics are fit to (78)burn. | |
(79)Conclusion | Whether to burn or not to burn,we should (80)replace landfilling with both recycling and waste-to-energy to deal with garbage. |
