Certainly dustmen prefer to be known as "Reuse Collection and Disposal Officers". You may think that this is rather    36 , and it is better to call a spade a spade. But dustmen can be as    37  as people of any other occupation, though we must     38   that their job is not a    39    one in the world. We often take dustmen for granted. Perhaps because they usually come very early in the morning, before most people are     40   .We are likely to forget their     41   .Our dustbins are    42   regularly, but we    43    stop to think about the men who do this. However, it is one of the most important jobs in the world, and when there are no dustmen to    44   the rubbish, the general    45   soon becomes aware that something is wrong. Recently, the dustmen of England went on strike for higher wages.
During the first few days it was regarded as a    46  .But when the first two weeks had passed, and the dustbins were overflowing in nearly every backyard in the country, the joke did not seem so    47   any more.    48   the strike continued, people could not    49   the hills of rubbish around their dustbins, and they looked for other places in which to    50  it. Even Leicester Square, in the heart of West End of London, was    51   high with plastic bags full of smelly rubbish. This was a(n)    52   attraction that the people of London were not at all     53   to see. Even when the strike was over, it took several weeks for the country to get cleaned up completely. Perhaps now the English people appreciate the work of    54  dustmen rather more    55   and won't take them for granted any more.

Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.  The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard. Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example. But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But is also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.
There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize just how much unnecessary material are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.
【小题1】What does the underlined phrase “over-consumption” refer to?

A.Using too much packaging.
B.Recycling too many wastes.
C.Making more products than necessary.
D.Having more material than is needed.
【小题2】The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show _______.
A.the tendency of cutting household waste
B.the increase of packaging recycling
C.the rapid growth of super markets
D.the fact of packaging overuse
【小题3】According to the text, recycling ______.   
A.helps control the greenhouse effect
B.means burning packaging for energy
C.is the solution to gas shortage
D.leads to a waste of land
【小题4】What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?   
A.Unpackaged products are of bad quality.
B.Supermarkets care more about packaging.
C.It is improper to judge quality by packaging.
D.Other products are better packaged than food.
【小题5】What can we learn from the last paragraph?   
A.Fighting wastefulness is difficult.
B.Needless material is mostly recycled.
C.People like collecting recyclable waste.
D.The author is proud of their consumer culture.

Ibrahim became disabled after contracting polio (小儿麻痹症) when he was three years old. At first his parents, like many other parents of disabled children in Niger, did not want to send him to school. They were worried he would be laughed at by his classmates.  

Despite his disability, and his parents’ doubts, Ibrahim was determined to go to school. “When I was eight,” Ibrahim says, “other kids of my age were going to school while I stayed at home. I did not like that. So, I pestered (缠着) my parents until they finally let me go to school.”

Ibrahim’s parents sent him to a private school nearby. Although the journey to and from school was a short one, it still wasn’t easy for Ibrahim. He had to use his hands to help him move along, protecting them with plastic slippers. But at least he was getting an education.

However, after only a year in school, Ibrahim’s education was interrupted when his parents separated. His mother did not have the means to continue paying for his tuition.

In 2007, Ibrahim received some money to be fitted with a leg brace (支架), corrective shoes and his first pair of crutches (拐杖). Now that he was more mobile than before, the most important thing for him was to find a way to go back to school. 

“I wanted to start school again last October,” Ibrahim says. “After my mother told me she could not afford it, I went to visit some of my relatives for support. And I collected 5,000 francs CFA (US $8) to pay my tuition for half a year. I will find the rest of the money somehow.”

Ibrahim attends a school in which he is the only disabled student. According to his teacher, he is among the top five students in a class of 55.

1.Why did Ibrahim’s parents prefer Ibrahim to stay at home? 

A.There was a lot of housework for him to do.

B.They had no money to pay for his tuition.

C.There were not enough schools in the country.

D.They were afraid the students would make fun of him.

2.How did Ibrahim go to school before his parents separated? 

A.He went to school on his wheelchair.

B.He went to school on his parents’ bicycle.

C.He walked to school with the support of his hands.

D.He walked to school using a pair of crutches.

3. Ibrahim’s education was interrupted because of his _____.

A.parents’ doubts

B.lack of tuition

C.physical disability

D.terrible mood

4.The best title for the passage might be _____.
