beings.

While

the

characteristics

of

friendship might vary from one country to another, people from all cultures not only enjoy friends

but need them.

Many studies have shown that teenagers who have no friends often suffer from psychological

disorders.

companionship and a sense of belonging. The negative consequences of loneliness have also been

observed

among

the

elderly.

The

death

of

a

spouse

often

leaves

a

widow

or

a

widower

totally

bereft. If, however, they are surrounded by friends and relatives and if

they are able to express

their feelings, they are more likely to recover from their grief

。

“No

man

is

an

island.”

In

other

words,

we

are

all

parts

of

society.

We

all

need

the

love,

admiration, respect and moral support of other people. If we are fortunate, our friends will provide

us with all of these necessary aspects of life.

As

most

people

observe,

there

are

many

levels

of

friendship.

The

degree

or

intensity

of

friendship varies depending on the personality of the individuals involved and the context of the

relationships. Outgoing persons enjoy being surrounded by many people whereas shy persons are

perhaps content with fewer but more intense friendships

。

Everyone is not equally open with all their friends. The degree of closeness is determined by

many factors. Close fri

ends can be formed at any stage in one’s life but they are usually very rare.

Not

very

many

people

have

more

than

a

few

really

close

friends.

Irrespective

of

the

level

of

closeness, all friendships are based on reciprocity

（互惠）

, honesty and a certain amount of love

and affection

。

Disposing (

处理

) of waste has been a problem since humans started producing it. As more

and

more

people

choose

to

live

close

together

in

cities,

the

waste

disposal

problem

becomes

increasingly difficult.

During the eighteenth century, it was usual for several neighboring towns to get together to

select

a

faraway

spot

as

a

dump

site.

Residents

or

trash

haulers

(

垃圾拖运者

)

would

transport

household rubbish, rotted wood, and old possessions to the site. Periodically some of the trash was

burned

and

the

rest

was

buried.

The

unpleasant

sights

and

smells

caused

no

problem

because

nobody lived close by. Factories, mills, and other industrial sites also had waste to be disposed of.

Those located on rivers often just dumped the unwanted remains into the water. Others built huge

burners with chimneys to deal with the problem.

Several facts make these choices unacceptable to modern society. The first problem is space.

Dumps, which are now called landfills, are most needed in heavily populated areas. Such areas

rarely have empty land suitable for this purpose. Property is either too expensive or too close to

residential

neighborhoods.

Long

distance

trash

hauling

has

been

a

common

practice,

but

once

farm areas are refusing to accept rubbish from elsewhere, cheap land within trucking distance of

major city areas is nonexistent. Awareness (

意识

) of pollution dangers has resulted in more strict

rules

of

waste

disposal. Pollution

of

rivers,

ground

water,

land

and

air

is

a

price

people

cannot

longer pay to get rid of waste. The amount of waste, however, continues to grow.

Recycling efforts have become common place, and many towns require their people to take

part. Even the most efficient recycling programs, however, can hope to deal with only about 50

percent of a city's reusable waste.

64.

The most suitable title for this passage would be

.

A. Places for Disposing Waste

B. Waste Pollution Dangers

C. Ways of Getting Rid of Waste

D. Waste Disposal Problem

65. During the 18th century, people disposed their waste in many ways except for

.

A. burying it

B. recycling it

C. burning it

D. throwing it into rivers

66. What can be inferred from the third paragraph?

A. Farm areas will continue accepting waste from the city in modern society.

A. draw people's attention to waste management

Babies are born yogis. Once we were all able to pull our toes up by our ears and laugh about

it. Then we aged, got injured, and began carrying stress in our shoulders and back. In short, we

lost our balance.

Yoga

（

瑜伽）

is an ancient practice that helps create a sense of union in body, mind, and spirit.

It brings us balance. I was seriously out of balance when I started practicing yoga in 1999. I had

plantar fascitis

in both feet, and my doctor had

warned me against all

the things

I

loved to do:

walking, hiking, and playing tennis. I was desperate for exercise. Yoga became my salvation and

even

enhanced

my

other

fitness

activities.

I

practice

yoga

at

least

twice

a

week,

but

I

consider

yoga to be part of my daily life because after a while you no longer just practice yoga

—

you love

it.

Yoga becomes part of your physical life. Your body grows stronger, more toned, and more

flexible as you move from one pose to the other. I spent a week in Mexico at a yoga retreat, and it

was the first vacation on which I lo

st weight. “Rather than building muscle, yoga builds muscle

tone,”

says

Shakta

Kaur

Khalsa,

author

of

the

K.I.S.S.

Guide

to

Yoga.

“Because

yoga

helps

maintain a balanced metabolism (

新陈代谢

), it also helps to regulate weight. Additionally, yoga

stretches

muscles

lengthwise,

causing

fat

to

be

removed

around

the

cells.”

I

do

yoga

poses

throughout

the

day.

After

hours

at

my

computer,

I

stretch

my

stiff

shoulders

and

arms.

When

I

need a boost of energy, I do energizing poses. When I am feeling exhausted at the end of the day, I

do restorative poses.

Yoga becomes part of

your

mental

life. Yoga teaches you to focus on breathing while

you

hold

the

poses.

This

attention

to

breath

is

calming;

it

dissolves

stress

and

anxiety.
