16．Sponsorship in Sport
Sponsorship in sport is usually in the form of financial assistance offered by a commercial organization to a person or a team in return for publicity．
Most people admit that sponsorship in sport is necessary．For one thing，sport has become increasingly expensive to manage，and players need money to be able to participate at a high level．For another，watching sport has become a major form of social entertainment，so sponsorship of sporting events helps companies to promote their products．（71）FThe only negative aspects for a sponsor are if an athlete should play badly or misbehave，but generally sport creates a good image （形象） for a company by conveying health and fitness．
（72）C The organizers of the Olympic Games have been criticized for accepting sponsorship from fast food companies．People question why the organizers take money from such companies．Public health experts believe if we really want to promote health alongside excellence in sport，then it must be linked by approvals for products which support good health．（73）A
Nowadays sponsorship is no longer limited to major events and professionals．Local teams and young players are also sponsored．There is a trend also for amateurs to rely on sponsorship for equipment，clothing，and to cover their expenses of training and competing even though they are not full-time sportspeople．So sponsorship enables major world events to become more impressive．（74）E Besides，sponsorship enables us to view our favorite sporting event on television，even though it is taking place on the other side of the world．
However，such commercialization sometimes means compromise，and in fact，for some less popular sports it may be a negative factor，and it may even result in the end of that sporting code．Sports which are seen as less popular and therefore less commercially successful can no longer attract sponsors．（75）GThe uneven distribution of sponsorship could lead to the end of some less popular sports，and could reduce our freedom of sporting choice．

A．It shouldn't be related to any unhealthy products．
B．Sponsorship may mislead players about sporting choices．
C．However，this has caused serious arguments for some major events．
D．The end goal for the sponsors is to deliver value and growth for their brands．
E．It also promotes participation at grassroots level，bringing sports to everyone．
F．Tax relief is another advantage，which means sponsorship can help to save money．
G．Sponsorship may create the situation of giving with the one hand and taking with the other．

15．"We haven't found anything that we can't recycle!"
Cigarette ends are everywhere-littering our streets and beaches-and for decades they've been thought of as"unrecyclable"．But a New Jersey based company，called TerraCycle，has taken on the challenge，and has come up with a way to recycle millions of cigarette ends and turn them into industrial plastic products．Its aim is to recycle things that people normally consider impossible to reuse．
Obviously it would be even better for the environment if everyone just stopped smoking，but the statistics show that although there has been an increase in anti-smoking ads and messaging，between 2000 and 2014，global sales of cigarettes increased by 8percent，and a whole lot of those cigarette ends are ending up as trash．Since most of our litter eventually ends up in waterways，cigarette ends can surely pollute the surrounding environment．"It only takes a single cigarette end to pollute a liter of water，"TerraCycle founder，Tom Szaky，said．"Animals can also mistake littered cigarette ends for food．"
So how do you go about turning all those poisonous ends into something useful？TerraCycle does this by first breaking them down into separate parts．They mix the remaining materials，such as the tobacco and the paper，with other kinds of rubbish，and use it on non-agricultural land，such as golf courses．The filters （过滤嘴） are a little harder．To recycle these，TerraCycle first makes them clean and cuts them into small pieces，and then combines them with other recycled materials，making them into liquid for industrial plastic products．
They're now also expanding their recycling offerings to the rest of the 80percent of household waste that currently can't be recycled，such as chocolate packaging，pens，and mobile phones．The goal is to use the latest research to find a way to stop so much waste ending up in landfill （垃圾填埋），and then get companies to provide money for the process．And so far，it's working．
"We haven't found anything that we can't recycle，"communications director of TerraCycle，Albe Zakes，said．"But with the amount and variety of packaging and litter in the world，we are always looking for new waste streams to address．"

63．What does TerraCycle intend to do？D

D．TerraCycle has successfully recycled a large amount of waste．

14．I Was the Doughnut Lady

doughnuts
In university I had a part-time job at a shop that sold doughnuts and coffee． Situated on a block where several buses stopped，it served the people who had a few minutes to wait for their bus．
Every afternoon around four o'clock，a group of schoolchildren would burst into the shop，and business would come to a stop． Adults would glance in，see the crowd and pass on． But I didn't mind if the children waited for their bus inside． Sometimes I would hand out a bus fare when a ticket went missing-always repaid the next day． On snowy days I would give away some doughnuts． I would lock the door at closing time，and we waited in the warm shop until their bus finally arrived．
I enjoyed my young friends，but it never occurred to me that I played an important role in their lives-until one afternoon when a man came and asked if I was the girl working on weekdays around four o'clock． He identified himself as the father of two of my favorites．
"I want you to know I appreciate what you do for my children． I worry about them taking two buses to get home． It means a lot that they can wait here and you keep an eye on them． When they are with the doughnut lady，I know they are safe．"I told him it wasn't a big deal，and that I enjoyed the kids．
So I was the Doughnut Lady． I not only received a title，but became a landmark．
Now I think about all the people who keep an eye on my own children． They become，well，Doughnut Ladies． Like the men at the skating rink （滑冰场），who let my boys ring home； Or the bus driver who drove my daughter to her stop at the end of the route at night but wouldn't leave until I arrived to pick her up； Or that nice police officer who took pity on my boys walking home in the rain when I was at work-even though the phone rang all the next day with calls from curious neighbors．"Was that a police car I saw at your house last night？"
That wasn't a police car． That was a Doughnut Lady．
