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 has 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 burying 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, 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 it is also applied 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 materials are collected．We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb．

What does the underlined phrase “that 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．

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 supermarkets         

       D．the fact of packaging overuse

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

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．

Puling heavy suitcases all day in the summer is hard work, especially when you’re a thin 14-year-old. That was me in 1940-the youngest and smallest baggage boy at New York City’s Pennsylvania Railway Station.

After just a few days on the job, I began noticing that the other fellows were overcharging passengers. I’d like to join them, thinking, “Everyone else is doing it”.

When I got home that night, I told my dad what I wanted to do. “You give an honest day’s work,” he said, looking at me straight in the eye. “They’re paying you. If they want to do that, you let them do that.”

I followed my dad’s advice for the rest of that summer and have lived by his words ever since.

Of all the jobs I’ve had, it was my experience at Pennsylvania Railway Station that has stuck with me. Now I teach my players to have respect for other people and their possessions. Being a member of a team is a totally shared experience. If one person steals, it destroys trust and hurts everyone. I can put up with many things, but not with people who steal. If one of my players were caught stealing, he’d gone.

Whether you’re on a sports team, in an office or a member of a family, if you can’t trust one another, there’s going to be trouble.

What can be inferred about the baggage boys?

       A．They could earn much, but they had to work hard.

       B．Many of them earned money in a dishonest way.

       C．They were all from poor families.

       D．They were all thin, young boys.

What does the father’s advice imply?

       A．It is wrong to give more pay to the passengers.

       B．Don’t believe them if they are paying you more.

       C．Don’t follow others to overcharge the passengers.

       D．It is difficult to work hard and live as an honest boy.

The writer can’t put up with stealing because he thinks that           .

       A．it is a totally shared experience

       B．it is considered as the most dangerous

       C．it does great harm to human relationship

       D．it may lead to the loss of his sports team

It can be concluded from the text that        .

       A．his father’s advice helped him to decide which job to take up

       B．working in the sports team was his most important experience

       C．he learnt much from his shared experience with his team members

       D．his experience s a baggage boy had a great influence on his later life
