My name is Lauren Singer and I live a Zero Waste lifestyle in New York City.
So how did I get here? I was an Environmental Studies major in College and have always
been interested in the environment, but I made the important decision to line Zero Waste in 2012
when one of my Environmental Studies classmates would bring lunch to class every week in a
single use plastic bag, a disposable (一次性的) water bottle, and a plastic takeout lunch box. I
would sit there and think, we are supposed to be the future of this planet and here we are with our
rubbish, messing it up.
Then I learned about Bea Johnson, a woman in California who was producing little to no
rubbish.
It was the Aha! moment for me. I also wanted to make a change, so I started my Zero Waste
journey. This is when I really decided that I not only needed to say that I love the environment,
but really live like I love the environment.
My site Trash is for Tossers shows my effort. It will record my Zero Waste journey and show
that leading a Zero Waste lifestyle is simple, timely, fun and perfectly possible for everyone and
anyone. If I can do it, anyone can!
How do I explain ZERO WASTE? To me, Zero Waste means that I do not produce any
rubbish. No throwing anything in a rubbish bin, nothing. I do reuse and I do recycle.
53. What lifestyle does Lauren Singer have?
54. How did she feel when she heard of Bea Johnson's story?
55. Would you like to live like Lauren Singer? Why or why not?
53. Zero Waste
54. She felt surprised/amazed/excited/happy
55. Yes Because……

Have you ever been irritated(激怒) by someone shouting at his mobile phone in a public
place?
We've all lost temper at least once at the sound of a person loudly communicating with
someone on a mobile phone.
Recently, Dr Adam Rutherford has been answering questions: “I have no interest in hearing
about other people's private lives.” “The conversation would have seemed to worry older
generations. I think they would have considered it rude to talk loudly in public.”
Many people seem to do it without realizing why, but is there a scientific reason for their
loudness?
The answer begins by looking at one of the telephone designs called “sidetone”—a feature
whereby a caller could hear his own voice in the phone's speaker when talking.
This guarantees the user that they can be heard, leaving no reason to raise one's voice. But the
problem with mobiles is that they are mobile, and a fixed volume of “sidetone” isn't always
effective where background noise is very loud.
Plus, this is our natural tendency(倾向) to raise our voice to match the noise levels around us.
We tend to try and match the loudest sound we can hear.
It is worth pointing out, however, that this would not be the first time that our use of mobile
phones has challenged the idea of good manners. When phones were firstly invented, they raised
all kinds of questions. Should one have a phone conversation when undressed? Was it proper to
stand up when speaking to a woman on the phone?
It seems mobile phones, then, are a technology that may always form new etiquette
issues(礼仪问题).
73. When do we easily lose temper?
_______________________________________________________________
74. Where isn't the fixed volume of “sidetone” always effective?
_______________________________________________________________
75. Do you want to have a telephone called “sidetone”? Why or why not?
_______________________________________________________________
答案:
73. When we hear a person loudly communicating with someone on a mobile phone.
74. In noisy places.
75. No. Because you may disturb others.

I'll always remember the day I went to my first dance class. My mother was an excellent
ballet(芭蕾)dancer and I wanted nothing more than to follow her.
After class, my mom asked how I liked it. I thought of what had happened in the class: when
I stood side by side with those experienced and confident girls, all my clumsy(笨拙的)movements
made me want to cry. However, I still tol d my mom I couldn't wait to dance again.
Weeks passed and one day my dance teacher announced we were going to have a
performance soon. Though I practiced as much as I could, I still saw no improvement in my ballet
ability. I went to my mom and told her that dancing wasn't for me. My mom told me that she
would show me all she knew about ballet. She quickly discovered how bad my dancing was, but
she still taught me with the greatest patience.
By the time the performance arrived, I had been as prepared as I could be. My mom sat in the
audience(观众),with worries in her eyes. I positioned myself and began moving to the music
without missing a step. When the music stopped, a storm of applause broke out. I cried and I knew
all my hard work had paid off.
After the performance, my mom hugged me and told me how proud she was. I looked her in
the eye and told her there was no way this could have happened without her. I knew she would
always be there to keep me going.
53. What was the writer's mother?
54. How did the writer feel after the performance ended?
55. Will you keep on learning something like the writer when you find you are not good at it?
Why or why not?
答案:
53.A ballet dancer.
54. The writer felt excited.
55. Yes. Because ..
No. Because ...(答案不唯一,言之有理即可)
