  Beijing is determined to build a complete renewable resource recycling network in the years to come so that 30 percent of the trash (废物) in the city can be recycled before 2008.

  In accordance with a plan regarding the promotion, standardization and construction of a renewable resource recycling network in the urban districts of Beijing, 1,800 recycling station will be established in the eight urban districts of the city, of which 1,400 will be constructed in 2002 and 2003.

  “The plan has been developed jointly by nine departments of the Beijing Municipal Government.”said local sources.

  According to the sources, 56 new recycling trucks will be put into operation throughout the eight urban districts this year to replace the former fleet.

  To promote the construction of a sound recycling network for renewable resources, Beijing will make efforts to sort trash and transform the practice into a systematic practice in 250 residential quarters. Varying amounts of subsidies, with the highest amounting to 60,000 yuan (about 7,228 US dollars), will be given to residential sectors which effectively implement the trash-sorting practice.

  The Beijing Municipal Commission of Commerce will soon draw up a plan to establish markets for the collection and distribution of renewable resource in an effort to overcome the rather confused(混乱的) situation at present.

  According to the plan, the city will build ten standardized renewable resource markets.

  Statistics show that the urban districts of Beijing currently produce one million tons of trash each year, of which wasted paper accounts for 13.33 percent and waste glass 6.5 percent. Recycled paper is principally used for printing business cards, textbooks and postcards.

[  ]

A.make preparations for the 2008 Olympics

B.provide jobs fur those people who can't find jobs

C.deal with most of the waste in Beijing

D.replace the former ways to deal with waste

2.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

[  ]

A.Less than 30 percent of the recycling stations will be constructed after 2003.

B.Beijing has eight urban districts at present.

C.To sort waste in residential quarters is good to recycle.

D.If a resident isn't willing to distribute renewable resources, he will be punished seriously.

3.The underlined word“fleet”in Paragraph 4 probably is the name of ________.

  “Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity,” said the American talk show host Oprah Winfrey.I’ve never watched her show, but when a self-made billionaire gives life advice it’s probably worth listening to.

  Her point is that blind luck is very rare.You may have to be lucky to find a good job these days but that does not mean you should sit at home waiting for the opportunity to come to you.If you’re a Chinese, you may already be familiar with the tale of a farmer waiting by a tree stump(树桩)for a rabbit to run out and break its neck.

  A book by the UK psychologist Richard Wiseman, called The Luck Factor, argues we can all make ourselves luckier.It’s not about going to a temple to burn some incense(香)hopes that the gods will give you good fortune; it’s practical advice you can follow each day.

  Wiseman conducted an experiment as part of his studies.First he divided volunteers into two groups; those who said they were lucky in life and those who said they were not.He gave everyone a newspaper and asked them to look through it to count how many photographs it had inside.On average, the unlucky people took about two minutes to count the photographs while the lucky people took just seconds.Why? On the second page of the newspaper, a command, “Stop counting.There are 43 photographs in this newspaper,” was written in big letters.The unlucky people mostly did not spot the message.

  It’s easy to compare this situation to a young person looking for jobs in a local paper.They might search so hard for one type of position that they miss an even better opportunity.People who are “lucky”, in fact, keep an open mind and don’t go through the same routine every day.

  I first came to China in 2002 when it was considered a rather strange thing to do.Like many foreigners, my plan was to teach English for one year.Seven years later, and still here, I’ve had many great opportunities such as writing for newspapers and magazines.I did not dream these would have been possible.I’ve also never been sick, had an accident, got into a fight or had problems with the police.Coincidence? After reading about Professor Wiseman’s studies I think not.

  As Wiseman advises, I usually trust my own judgment.Your friends and parents may give you advice based on rational(理性)thinking, but it’s important to consider how you feel about each choice you make.Your feeling acts as a warning for a potential problem.

  Finally, try to turn bad luck into good.Even if you do fall down and break a leg, the time spent at home can be used wisely to study English.

Today, as I was relaxing at the beach, I couldn't help but eavesdrop(窃听,偷听) on a conversation four high school kids were having on the beach blanket next to me. Their conversation was about making a positive difference in the world. And it went something like this…
"It's impossible to make a difference unless you're a huge company or someone with lots of money and power," one of them said.
"Yeah man," another replied. "My mom keeps telling me to move mountains – to speak up and stand up for what I believe. But what I say and do doesn't even get noticed. I just keep answering to ‘the man’ and then I get slapped back(山谷回声) in place by him when I step out of line."
"Repression…" another snickered.
I smiled because I knew exactly how they felt. When I was their age, I was certain I was being repressed and couldn't possibly make a difference in this world. And I actually almost got fired from school once because I openly expressed how repressed(压抑) I felt in the middle of the principals’ office.
I Have A Dream.
Suddenly, one of the kids noticed me eavesdropping and smiling. He sat up, looked at me and said, "What? Do you disagree?" Then as he waited for a response, the other three kids turned around too.
Rather than arguing with them, I took an old receipt out of my wallet , tore it into four pieces, and wrote a different word on each piece. Then I crumbled the pieces into little paper balls and handed a different piece to each one of them.
"Look at the word on the paper I just gave you and don't show it to anyone else." The kids looked at the single word I had handed each of them and appeared confused. "You have two choices," I told them. "If your word inspired you to make a difference in this world, then hold onto it. If not, give it back to me so I can recycle the paper." They all returned their words.
I walked over quickly , sat down on the sand next to their beach blanket and laid out the four words that the students had returned to me so that the words combined to form the simple sentence,        "I have a dream."
"Dude, that's Martin Luther King Jr.," one of the kids said.
"How did you know that?" I asked.
"Everyone knows Martin Luther King Jr." the kid snarled. "He has his own national holiday, and we all had to memorize his speech in school a few years ago."
"Why do you think your teachers had you memorize his speech?" I asked.
"I don't really care!" the kid replied. His three friends shook their heads in agreement. "What does this have to do with us and our situation?"
"Your teachers asked you to memorize those words, just like thousands of teachers around the world have asked students to memorize those words, because they have inspired millions of repressed people to dream of a better world and take action to make their dreams come true. Do you see where I'm going with this?"
"Man, I know exactly what you're trying to do and it's not going to work, alright?" the fourth kid said, who hadn't spoken a word until now. "We're not going to get all inspired and emotional about something some dude said thirty years ago. Our world is different now. And it's more screwed up than any us can even begin to imagine, and there's little you or I can do about it. We're too small, we're nobody."
Together
I smiled again because I once believed and used to say similar things. Then after holding the smile for a few seconds I said, "On their own, ‘I' or ‘have’ or ‘a’ or ‘dream’ are just words. Not very compelling or inspiring. But when you put them together in a certain order, they create a phrase that has been powerful enough to move millions of people to take action – action that changed laws, perceptions, and lives. You don't need to be inspired or emotional to agree with this, do you?"
The four kids shrugged and struggled to appear totally indifferent, but I could tell they were listening intently. "And what's true for words is also true for people," I continued. "One person without help from anyone else can't do much to make a big difference in this crazy world - or to overcome all of the various forms of repression that exist today. But when people get together and unite to form something more powerful and meaningful then themselves, the possibilities are endless.
Together is how mountains are moved. Together is how small people make a big difference.
