Once upon a time industrial goods were made to last forever. If you bought a car or a stove, it was a once-in-a-lifetime investment. You 　　51　 　(pay) good money for it, and you took good care of it. At the present time, 　　52　 , industry has suggested that products shouldn’t last a long time. It’s cheaper to throw them away than 　　53　 　(repair) them. This has created a “throw-away society” which is

　 54　 　waste of the earth’s resources. Just think of those pretty new second-hand cars that are sold daily. The owners get rid of them just 　　55　 　they are out of date. Think of the expensive packaging material that 　　56　 　(throw) away each time a new item is bought. And we have to pay for that material! This waste has got us into the trouble we are 　　57　 　now. When we have no resources

　 　58　 　(leave), we’ll then start to take care of 　　59　 　we have. But why can’t we act before this happens? Why can’t we go back to the society

　 60　 　the prevention of waste is a virtue?
