each of the questions.(5 pts)
THINK BEFORE YOU TOSS

5
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.
1. 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.
2. All of the following are disposable products, EXCEPT ____.
A. cloth kitchen towels B. paper plates C. plastic cups D. razors for shaving
3. The word “disposable" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ____.
A. convenient B. inexpensive C. throwaway D. single-use
4. 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.
5. The word “appetite” in the last paragraph can be best replaced by ____.
A. need B. demand C. desire D. taste
