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
machi
ne…
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
responsibility
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
researchers
note
that
attention
should
be
given
to
“train
ing
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 importan
t
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 responding to statements such as
“V
olunteering
a
t
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
concret
e advice. “Once an individual
begins volunteering, continued effort to focus
on developing volunteer
role….”
61. People volunteer
mainly out of__________.
A. academic requirements
B. social expectations
C. financial
rewards
D.
internal needs
62. What can we learn from Florida
study?

B.
V
olunteers should get mentally
prepared.
C.
V
olunteer training is a must in
research.
D.
V
olunteers are provided with concrete
advice.
63. What is most likely to
motivate volunteers to continue their work?
A.
individual
differences
in
role
identity.
B.
Publicly
identifiable
volunteer
T-shirt.
C. Role
identity as a volunteer.
D. Practical advice from
researchers.
64. What is the best title
of the passage?
A. How to get people to volunteer
B.
How to study volunteer behavior
C. How to keep volunteers’
