8 . In Plastic China, a documentary shot by Wang Jiuliang, Chen Feng (not his real name) makes his living by recycling plastic waste imported from developed countries. His family lives among the garbage and his young son often finds “toys” around him. Used plastic injectors (注射器) are his favorite.

China was once the world’s biggest recipient of overseas trash. Many people like Chen Feng work at centers recycling imported waste, also called foreign garbage.

From January 1, 2021, China made a sweeping ban on all imports of solid waste. The waste products from overseas on Chinese territory are also banned.

China began importing solid waste in 1980 when the country didn’t have enough raw materials (原材料). The recycling of imported waste helped to fill that gap. Recycling foreign trash, such as plastics, paper and metals, has supported the development of China’s manufacturing (制造业的) sector and furthered its economy. After being processed, garbage can be turned into materials that can be used to make products, such as chairs and bags.

However, waste that can’t be used is either burned or buried, while processing recyclables also leads to water, air and land pollution, as well as sickness. In Guiyu, Guangdong Province, once China’s largest disposal center for electronic trash, over 90 per cent of kids showed high levels of lead in their blood, according to a report that tracked the health of local children in the years from 2006 to 2013.

In addition, about 10 billion tons of solid waste are produced annually in China, which also has to be handled appropriately. According to China Daily, the ban taking effect in 2021 is the culmination (高潮) of policies introduced since 2017 to phase out the import of solid waste. Since 2017, the volume of imported waste has fallen by 68 per cent, from 42 million to 13 million tons in 2019.

“Realizing the goal of zero imports of solid waste is in sight,” said Qiu Qiwen, from the Ministry of Ecology and Environment.

D．call for the attention to developing countries

2. What may account for the recycling of imported waste in 1980?

C．Lack of raw materials.	D．The gap of development.

3. What does the fifth paragraph mainly tell us?

A．Importing this waste has brought more risks than benefits.

B．There is a long way to go before electronic trash is removed.

C．Air pollution is the main contributor to kid’s health problems.

D．Recycling garbage has led kids in China to suffer blood problems.

4. What does Qiu Qiwen think of the sweeping ban?

A．Doubtful.	B．Hopeful.
C．Incomplete.	D．Unreasonable.

9 . Charles Revson, founder of a successful cosmetic（化妆品） firm, once said, “In our factory we make lipstick. In our advertising, we sell hope.”

We could use a little more hope. I think that is why people buy lottery tickets（彩票）. One poor mother, who was raising her children on a small salary earned from long hours of hard work, was asked, “Why do you waste your money on a lottery ticket when you can hardly make ends meet?”

“Yeah, I buy a ticket every day,” the woman admitted. “But a dollar is not too much to pay for 24 hours of hope.”

There are probably better uses for her money than buying lottery tickets. But she would rather hang onto a little hope that onto her dollar.

We need hope in life. Without it, far too many people come to the conclusion that they are powerless in the face of difficulties. “It can’t be helped.” is their motto. Without hope, they won’t make needed changes. They are powerless.

I’ve found that I can either be a prisoner of circumstances or a practioner hope. I can feel sorry for myself and helpless to do anything about my problems, or I can believe there is a realistic chance for something better.

Norman Cousins, in his book Head First: the Biology of Hope, explains the power of hope. He tells of two doctors who were to deliver a paper at a national meeting of caner specialists. One was truly puzzled. “I don’t understand it, Bob,” he said. “We use the same drugs of the same dosage（量）, and the same schedule of treatment. Yet I get a 22 percent recovery rate and you get a 74 percent recovery rate. How do you explain that?”

The other responded, “We both use Etoposide（依托泊苷）, Platinol（顺铂）, Oncovin（长春新碱）, and Hydroxyurea（羟基脲）. You put those letters together and tell people that you are giving them E-P-O-H. I put them together and explain to them that they are receiving H-O-P-E.”

1. Why did the poor mother buy lottery tickets?

A．She put her hope on them.

B．She won much money through them.

C．She did it just for fun.

D．She wanted to make ends meet.

2. What does Norman Cousins mainly tell us in Head First: the Biology of Hope?

A．The wisdom of doctors.

B．The cure for cancer.

C．The power of hope.

D．Experiences of doctors.

3. How did Bob raise his recovery rate?

A．He used different kinds of medicine.

B．He used the medicine in different order.

C．He made the patients hopeful.

D．He gave the patients larger dosage.

4. How does the author make his viewpoint convincing?

A．By studying essays.

B．By explaining cause and effect.

C．By telling his own experience.

D．By giving examples.
