Failure, for Ibsen, became a way of life.Catalina, his first literary attempt, was impossible to sell.The privately printed book was eventually sold as packing paper to a grocer.Ibsen sought admission to the university in Oslo but failed the entrance examinations.He tried a career as a journalist, without success.As a stage manager, first in Bergen, then in Oslo, he did better, but lost the latter job when the theater closed down.The experience was not altogether wasted.At Bergen, Ibsen’s agreement required him to provide one new play each year, and although none of the five he produced was well received, the requirement forced him to learn the techniques of his trade.

In 1864, Ibsen took his wife and baby son to Rome, Italy, where they spent five years living in poor conditions.On the edge of starvation, he wrote Brand, dealing with the subject he knew best: failure.Six months after he sent Brand to Danish publishers, his fortunes had changed completely.The play was brought out in March, 1866, becoming an immediate success.With Brand and Peer Gynt, written in the same period, Ibsen won recognition at last.Awarded an annual fixed payment and the title of national poet by Norway, he dropped his shabby clothes and became a welldressed, neatly barbered, distinguished writer.

I’m now a good student in my class. But you don’t know that when I【1】 (start) senior English in the beginning, I found it difficult and quite 【2】 (differ) from what I had learned in junior school. Now I still remember a teacher who taught me at that time. 【3】 teacher is a good teacher because she always tried to be the one【4】classes were made active and lively with some stories and examples.【5】the help of the teacher, I realized the【6】(important) of English, so I decided to learn English well. My teacher suggested that we【7】(read) more if we wanted to improve our English,【8】every day I would do some reading. She also told us lessons in class could help us deal with exams, but even more valuable were the lessons【9】(learn) in extra-curricular activities in school. I like my English teacher very much.

We all agree that we should recycle more at home, in the office or when out and about. 【1】Consequently, they can be collected and taken to the right place for recycling. This is what the process of sorting allows us to do.

【2】And the effective sorting needs to happen first, in our own home and second, in sorting plants to which waste is collected. When you put a plastic bottle in the right recycling bag or bin, you are helping sort recyclables so that the right material can be fed into the right recycling process. If sorting does not happen，a lot of recyclable materials can end up in landfills. It will lead to valuable resources lost from our economy.

【3】For instance, in Brussels consumers put plastic packaging, cans and beverage cartons in blue bags designed for recyclable packaging; paper in yellow bags for recycling; and glass needs to be taken to specific collection bins. Somewhat differently, in Vienna (Austria), citizens can expect their paper, metal, glass and plastic to be separately collected in different weeks of the year.【4】．

Once recyclable materials are collected from your home, they are further sorted in specialized facilities which ensure the quality of the recycling process. 【5】Traditionally, sorting has been done either manually with workers sorting what can be recycled and picking out the materials to be discarded or mechanically. Today, however, new sorting technologies are being developed in order to speed up the process of sorting but to also cause better results. Exciting technologies using magnets or optical systems are being used to effectively sort materials so more of it can be recycled.

A．For effective recycling we need effective sorting.

B．Packaging at work is the first step towards recycling.

C．This is where different sorting techniques come into play.

D．So citizens need to be aware of their local collection system.

E．Collection systems can be very different from country to country.

F．The rest was landfilled or burned even though they could have been recycled or reused.

G．But for materials to be recycled, they first need to find their way to the right waste stream.
