阅读下面短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

What do people do with their old, out of date but still useful computers? Most people don’t know how to deal with them.Many old computers are put away.Many more are simply thrown away as rubbish.

Finally, some companies are thinking of ways to bring down the number of old computers.Sony has agreed to help recycle old Sony products(产品).Dell, Hewlett Packard and other companies now also take back some old computers of their own brands.

In some countries, laws have been passed, too.Computer companies have to pay for collecting and recycling their used products.And 70% of the computer waste must be recycled.The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay for the cost.That will encourage them to make computers which are easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade(升级).

Yet many people are throwing away good computers, while others cannot afford them at all.Hundreds of organizations are working on this problem.They collect and repair old computers.Some also teach others how to repair computers.These repaired computers then go to schools, charities(慈善团体) or people who need them.Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person’s rubbish into someone else’s useful things and cut down waste, too.

阅读下列内容,从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。

C

If you could see a movie of your life before you lived it, would you want to live it? Probably not.The excitement of living is that you don’t know what’s coming.

Sure, it’s hard to see uncertainty(不确定) in such positive(积极的)light when you’re out of work, or when you feel like you’re failing.But uncertainty is really another word for chance.

When Allison graduated from Harvard, she had chances all over the place but had no idea what she wanted to do.She took a job in consulting(咨询), but she knew she wouldn’t stay there.She took the GRE and scored so high that she was able to increase her income(收入)by teaching students.Still, she didn’t think she wanted to go to graduate school(研究院).Allison knew she wasn’t doing what she wanted, but she didn’t know what she wanted.

She worried.All her friends were going to graduate school or starting their own businesses.She was lost and felt that she would never find anything out.After six years, Allison, by having a general(全面的)plan in mind, got married, moved to the Midwest and used her consulting experience to get a great job.Allison realized that she spent her years finding her way: time well spent.

The only way to lead an interesting life is to face uncertainty.Otherwise your life is not your own—it is a path someone else has chosen.Moments of uncertainty are when you create your life, when you become who you are.Uncertainty usually begins with a job hunt, but it doesn’t end there.Every new role we take on means another round of uncertainty.Instead of fearing it, you should find some ways to deal with uncertainty.
