In the United
States alone, over 100 million cell-phones are
thrown
away
each
year.
Cell-phones
are
part
of
a
growing
mountain
of
electronic
waste like
computers and personal digital assistants. The
electronic
waste stream is increasing
three times faster than traditional garbage
,.
as a general.
Electronic devices contain valuable
metals such as gold and silver.
A
Swiss
study
reported
that
while
the
weight
of
electronic
goods
represented by
precious metals was relatively small in comparison
to
traditional waste, the
concentration(
含量
) of gold
and other precious
metal
was
higher
in
so-
called
e-waste
than
in
naturally
occurring
minerals.
Electronic wastes also contain many
poisonous metals. Even when the
machine… and the harmful metals
removed, the recycled process often is
carried out in poor countries, in
practically uncontrolled ways which
allow many poisonous substances to
escape into the environment.
Creating
products
out
of
raw
materials
creates
much
more
waste
material,
up
to
100
times
more,
than
the
material
contained
in
the
finished
products.
Consider
again
the
cell-phone,
and
imagine
the
mines
that
produced
those
metals, the factories needed to make
the box and packaging it came in.
Many
wastes produced in the producing process are
harmful as well.
The
U.S.
Environment
Protection
Agency
notes
that
most
waste
is
dangerous
in
that
“the
production,
distribution,
and
use
of
products
---
as
well as management of the resulting waste---all
result in greenhouse
release.
Individuals can make contributions by creating
less waste at…
buying reusable products
and recycling.
In
many
countries,
the
concept
of
extended
producer
responsibility
is
,.
being considered or has
been put in place as an
incentive(
动机
) for
reducing
waste.
If
producers
are
required
to
take
back
packaging
they
use
to
sell
their
products,
would
they
reduce
the
packaging
in
the
first
place?
Governments’ incentive to require
producers to take responsibi
lity
for the packaging they process should
be based on money. Why, they ask,
should cities or towns be responsible
to deal with the bubble
wrap(
气
泡垫
) that
encased your television?
From
the
governments’
point
of
view,
a
primary
goal
of
laws
requiring
extended producer responsibility is to
transfer both the cost and the
physical
responsibility
of
waste
management
from
the
government
and
tax-payers back to the producers.
58. By… the Swiss study, the author
intended to tell us________.
A. the weight of e-goods is rather
small
B. e-waste deserves to be made
good use of
C. natural materials
contains more precious metals
D. the
percentage of precious metals is heavy in e-waste
59. The responsibility of
e-
waste…transfer ______.
A. from producers to governments
B. from governments to producers
C.
from individuals to distributors D. from to
governments
60. What does the passage
mainly talk about?
A. The increase in
e-waste B. The creation of e-waste C. The
seriousness of e-waste D. The
management of e-waste

Suppose
you
become
a
leader
in
an
organization.
It’s
very
likely
that
you’ll
want
to
have
volunteers
to
help
with
the
organization’s
activities. To do so, it should help to
understand why people undertake
volunteer work and what keeps their
interests in the work.
Let’s begin with
the question of why people volunteer. Researchers
have
identified
several
factors
that
motivate
people
to
get
started.
For
example,
people
volunteer
to
express
personal
values
related
to
unselfishness,
to
expand
their
range
of
experiences
and
to
develop
social
relationships.
If
volunteer
positions
do
not
meet
those
needs,
people
may
not
wish
to
participate.
To
select
volunteers,
you
may
need
to
understand
the
motivation of the people you wish to attract.
People also volunteer because they are
required to do so. To increase
levels
of
opportunity
given,
some
schools
have
launched
volunteer
programmes.
Unlike….
can
…people’s
wish
of
participation
from
an
internal
factor
(e.g.
“I
volunteer
because
it’s
important
to
me.”)
to
an
external
factor
(e.g.
“I
volunteer
because
I’m
prepared
to
do
so.”)
When
that
happens,
people
become
less
likely
to
volunteer
in
the
future.
People must be
sensitive to this possibility when they make
volunteer
activity a must.
Once people begin to volunteer, what
leads them to remain in their
,.
positions
over
time?
To
answer
this
question,
researchers
have
conducted
follow-up
studies
in
which
they
track
volunteers
over
time.
For
instance,
one study followed
volunteers in Florida over a year. One of the most
important factors that influenced their
satisfactions as volunteers was
the
amount of suffering they experienced in their
volunteer positions.
Although
this
result
may
not
support
you,
it
leads
to
important
practical
advice.
The
researcher
s
note
that
attention
should
be
given
to
“training
methods
that
would
prepare
volunteers…
them
with
strategies
for
…
with
the problem they
experience.”
Another study
of 302 volunteers at hospitals in Chicago focused
on
individual differences in the degree
to which people view “volunteer”
as
an
important
social
role.
It
was
estimated
that
those
people
…the
role
of
volunteer … part of their personal …be more likely
to continue
volunteer work.
Participants indicated the degree to which social
role
matters by r
esponding
to statements such as “Volunteering at hospitals
is an important part of who I am.”
Consistent with the researchers’
expectations,
they
focused
a
positive
cohesion(
正
相
关
)
between
the
strength of role identity and the
lengths of time people contributed to
volunteer. These… again, lead to
concrete advice. “Once an individual
begins volunteering, continued effort
to focus on developing volunteer
role….”
61.
People volunteer mainly out of__________.
