Disposing（處理）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（垃圾拖運者）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 almost nonexistent．

    Awareness of pollution dangers has resulted in more strict rules of waste disposal．Pollution of rivers,ground water,land and air is a price people can no longer pay to get rid of waste．The amount of waste,however,continues to grow．

    Recycling efforts have become commonplace,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．

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

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

What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?

    A．Farm areas accept waste from the city in modern society．

    B．There is cheap land to bury waste in modern society．

    C．It is difficult to find space to bury waste in modern society．

    D．Ways to deal with waste in modern society stay the same．

The main purpose of writing this article is to ______．

    A．draw people’s attention to waste management

    B．warn people of the pollution dangers we are facing

    C．call on people to take part in recycling programs

    D．tell people a better way to get rid of the waste

There is no doubt that much of the profit of a business—sometimes the whole of its success—depends upon the use of the odds and ends．The odds and ends are various small things，which are left over when the main things are produced．But they possess a real value of their own．

If a business，big or small，looked down upon these odds and ends，it would mean a big difference in the amount of the benefit of the business．Take a meat factory for instance， there are countless odds and ends—bones and hair，which can be made into glue and rope to increase its profit greatly．

Then，if we are college students，what about our odds and ends—the odd moments？ Take time for example．Every one of us has the exact same amount of it．Everyone's success or failure depends on the use of their time．But everyone uses the time more or less in the same way．However，why many great men in science or art have made huge successes for themselves in the world？Because they have made best use of their odd moments．Take Thomas A．Edison， he never allowed his odd moments to slip by．He thought，planned，and tried his inventions．He always worked twenty hours out of each twenty-four．His inventions made him famous all over the world，and provided valuable wealth for the human beings．

So, remember this axiom：very busy people always find time for everything．However，people with great spare time find time for nothing．Is it very strange？Not at all！The question is how to gather up fragments of time and make full use of them．As many big businesses have found，that the real profit is in using the odds and ends．We also must do in this way to make best use of our odd moments and manage to be successful in something that we do．

What are odds and ends？

    A. They are nothing useful．

    B. They are various small，but valuable things．

    C. They are the main things that factories produce．

    D. They are odd moments students deny to gather up．

Why should the odds and ends be made full use of ？Because  ____   ．

    A. lots of factors in success or in failure depend on the best use of odds and ends

    B. they control to possess a value of their own

    C. they are various small things people don't want

    D. they are useless things left over when the main things are produced

What does the word “Axiom” in the fourth paragraph mean?

    A. clear and evident without proof

    B. statement accepted as true without proof of argument

    C. statement that can be argued

    D. regulation accepted in scientific usage

“Fragments of time” equals  “____    ”in the above passage．

    A. the odds and ends     B. immense leisure

    C. the main things       D. the odd moments
