56.How I was struck by the clear water and fresh air in my childhood! But everything has changed, that is, the clear water and fresh air are nowhere to be found again as they were. Above all, a great deal of waste hardly rots away.
57.More and more people are beginning to have a good knowledge of the importance of a safer and cleaner environment, which in turn forces the business to be cleaned up.
58.Organic products are getting more and more popular among people, but we should know the fact that organic products might also have something to do with pesticides.
59.I’m very much fond of growing some vegetables of my own in my small garden, for many vegetables on sale in markets are actually becoming more and more dangerous as a result of widespread pesticides.
60.Nowadays it is very convenient for consumers to find and buy green food in supermarkets as they are clearly marked.

A."Organic produce is always better, "Gold said."The food is free of pesticides(农药) ,and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms.And more often than not it is locally grown and seasonal, so it is more tasty." Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business.
B.Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences - but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete.For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products.And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported to meet growing demand."The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing market, "said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business.
C.Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted.Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment-friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem.One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of.
D.However, today, more and more consumers are choosing "green" and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment.Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: "Will this shampoo damage the environment?" "Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?"
E.Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds.Some supermarket products carry labels(标签) to show that the product is green.Some companies have made the manufacturing(制造) of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising.
F.The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business.No longer will the public accept the old attitude of "Buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it." The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.

There’s a small cross by the side of Highway128, near the town o Boonville. If this cross could talk, it would tell you this 16 story:

Seven years ago my brother, Michael, was at a friend’s farm. They decided to go out for dinner. Joe arrived and 17 to drive—after just one 18.

19, the four friends traveled the winding road. They didn’t know where it would end ---- 20 did. Suddenly, they turned 21 into the opposite lane(车道), running into an oncoming car.

22 home we were watching E.T. on video in front of a warm fire. Then we went to bed. At 2:00 am a police officer 23 my mom with the shocking 24. Michael had been killed.

In the morning, I 25 my mother and sister crying. I stood there 26. “What’s wrong?” I asked, rubbing my 27 eyes.

Mom took a deep breath. “Come here…”

Thus began a difficult 28 through grief, where all roads lead to nowhere. It 29 hurts to remember that day.

The only thing tat helps is telling my story, 30 you will remember it 31 you want to get into a car with someone who has had a drink ---- even just one drink.

Joe chose the road to 32. He was convicted of manslaughter(过失杀人罪) and served time. However, the real punishment is 33 the consequences(后果) of his actions. He left us 34 and ache in our hearts that will never go away, a nightmare that will 35 him--- and us ---- or the rest of our lives. And a small cross by the side of Highway 128.

At one time, computers were expected largely to remove the need for paper copies of documents (文件) because they could be stored electronically. But for all the texts that are written, stored and sent electronically, a lot of them are still ending up on paper.

    It is difficult to measure the quantity of paper used as a result of use of Internet-connected computers, although just about anyone who works in an office can tell you that when e-mail is introduced, the printers start working overtime. "I feel in my bones this revolution is causing more trees to be cut down," says Ted Smith of the Earth Village Organization.

    Perhaps the best sign of how computer and Internet use pushes up demand for paper comes from the high-tech industry itself, which sees printing as one of its most promising new markets. Several Internet companies have been set up to help small businesses print quality documents from a computer. Earlier this week Hewlett-Packard Co. announced a plan to develop new technologies that will enable people to print even more so they can get a hard copy of a business document, a medical record or just a one-line e-mail, even if they are nowhere near a computer. As the company sees it, the more use of the Internet the greater demand for printers.

   Does all this mean environmental concerns (环境问题) have been forgotten? Some activists suggest people have been led to believe that a lot of dangers to the environment have gone away. " I guess people believe that the problem is taken care of, because of recycling (回收利用) " said Kelly Quirke, director of the Rainforest Action Network in San Francisco. Yet Quirke is hopeful that high-tech may also prove helpful. He says printers that print on both sides are growing in popularity. The action group has also found acceptable paper made from materials other than wood, such as agricultural waste.

1. The growing demand for paper in recent years is largely due to ________.

A. the rapid development of small businesses

B. the opening up of new markets

C. the printing of high quality copies  

D. the increased use of the Internet

2.Environmentalists believe one possible way of dealing with the paper situation is ________.

A. to encourage printing more quality documents

B. to develop new printers using recycled paper

C. to find new materials for making paper 

D. to plant more fast-growing trees

3.Hewlett-Packard Co. has decided to develop new technologies because _______.

A. people are concerned about the environment

B. printers in many offices are working overtime

C. small companies need more hard copies

D. they see a growing market for printers
