Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50.
In the world today, particular in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe, recycling is the
big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be sensitive to the environment.
Recycling means finding ways to used products a second time. The motto of the recycling movement is “Reduce,
Reuse, Recycle”.
The first step is to reduce garbage. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes and expensive
plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging: usually paper, a box and
a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things that are wrapped simply, and to
reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-quality products. When low-quality
appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new ones – a loss of more resources and more
energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer
receives an important message. In the same way, if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that
customer sends an important message to the manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throw-away must stop.
The second step is to reuse. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After customers empty
the bottles, they return them to the stores. The manufacturers of the drinks collect bottles, wash them, and then
fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In some parts of the world, returning
bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage dumps have relatively little glass and plastic
from throw-away bottles.
The third step being environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and used again.
Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount energy to make one aluminum can as it does to
run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle aluminum (for new cans), they help save one
of the world’s precious resources.
