THINK BEFORE YOU TOSS

Countries around the world have growing mountains of trash because people are throwing out more
trash than ever before. How did we become a throwaway society?
First of all, it is now easier to replace an item than to spend time and money to repair it. Thanks to
modern manufacturing and technology, companies are able to produce items quickly and inexpensively.
Products are plentiful and prices are low, so we would rather buy something new than repair it. Even if
we did want to repair something, many items are almost impossible to repair. These products contain
many tiny, complicated parts. Some even contain small computer chips. It's easier to throw these items
away and buy new ones than to fix them.

Another contributing factor is our love of disposable products. As busy people, we are always looking for
ways to save time and make our lives easier. Why should we use cloth kitchen towels? It's easier to use
paper towel once and toss it out. Companies manufacture thousands of different kinds
of disposable items: paper plates, plastic cups, cameras, and razors for shaving, to name a few. The
problem is that disposable products also contribute to our trash problem.

Our appetite for new products also contributes to the problem. We are addicted to buying things. As
consumers, we want the latest clothes, the best TVs, and cellphones with west features. Companies tell
us to buy, buy, and buy. Advertisements persuade us wer is better. The result is that we throw away
useful possessions to make room for new ones.

31. Which of the following is NOT a reason for people to replace a broken item?

      A. Products are now mass produced at affordable prices.

      B. It takes almost no time to fix broken items.

      C. Many items are too complicated to repair.

      D. Some products contain tiny, complicated chips.

32. All of the following are disposable products, EXCEPT ____.

      A. cloth kitchen towels B. paper plates C. plastic cups D. razors for shaving

33. The word “disposable" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ____.

      A. convenient   B. inexpensive C. throwaway D. single-use

34. Why are we hooked on buying new things?

      A. We throw the old items to make room for the new ones.

      B. We have more money than ever before.

      C. We want to own as many things as possible.

      D. We are made to believe that the new is the better.

35. The word “appetite” in the last paragraph can be best replaced by ____.

      A. need B. demand C. desire D. taste

the questions.

THE BALANCE OF NATURE

All the different plants and animals in a natural community are in a state of balance. This balance is
achieved by the plants and animals interacting with each other and with their non-living surroundings.
An example of a natural community is a woodland, and a woodland is usually dominated by a particular
species of plant, such as the oak tree in an oak wood. The oak tree in this example is therefore called
the dominant species but there are also many other types of plants, from brambles, bushes, and small
trees to mosses, lichens and algae growing on tree trunks and rocks.

The plants of a community are the producers: they use carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen to build up
their tissues using energy in the form of sunlight. The plant tissues form food for the plant-eating
animals (herbivores) which are in turn eaten by flesh-eating animals (carnivores). Thus, plants produce
the basic food supply for all the animals of a community. The animals themselves are the consumers,
and are either herbivores or carnivores.

Examples of herbivores in a woodland community are rabbits, deer, mice and snails, and insects such as
aphids and caterpillars. The herbivores are sometimes eaten by the carnivores. Woodland carnivores are
of all sizes, from insects such as beetles and lacewings to animals such as owls, shrews and foxes. Some
carnivores feed on herbivores, some feed on the smaller carnivores, while some feed on both: a tawny
owl will eat beetles and shrews as well as voles and mice. These food relationships between the
different

members of the community are known as food chains or food webs. All food chains start with plants.
The links of the chain are formed by the herbivores that eat the plants and the carnivores that feed on
the herbivores. There are more organisms at the base of the food chain than at the top; for example,
there are many more green plants than carnivores in a community.

Another important section of the community is made up of the decomposers. They include the bacteria
and fungi that live in the soil and feed on dead animals and plants. By doing this they break down the
tissues of the dead organisms and release mineral salts into the soil.
