Once upon a time (not so very long ago, either!) industrial goods were made to last forever. If you bought a ear or a stove, it was a once-in-a-lifetime investment(投资). You paid good money for it, and you took care of it. Nowadays industry has persuaded us that products shouldn't last a long time. It's cheaper to throw them away than it is to repair them. This has led directly to the "throw-away society" which is a tremendous waste of the earth's resources.
Just think of the cars that are traded in daily, just because they are out of style. Think of the expensive packaging material that is thrown away every time a new object is bought. And we consumers have to pay for that material! Our industrial society has turned us into spoiled children. This wastefulness has got ten us into the mess (困境) we are in now. When we have no resources left, then we'll start to take care of what we have. But why can't we act before this happens? Why can't we go back to being a society in which the prevention of waste is a virtue?
Products used to be made to last ______.
A.for at least five years
B.for ten years
C.for as long as you take good care of them
D.for your whole life

根据以下材料回答第 36~40 题:
Passage TwoDuring the Christmas shopping rush in London, the interesting story was reported of a tramp (流浪者)who, apparently though no fault of his own, found himself locked in a well-known chain store late on Christmas Eve. No doubt the store was crowded with last-minute Christmas shoppers and the staff were dead beat and longing to get home. Probably all the proper security checks were made before the store was locked and they left to enjoy the three-day holiday untroubled by customers desperate to get last-minute Christmas presents.
However ridiculous that may be, our tramp found himself alone in the store and decided to make the best of it .There was food , drink ,bedding and camping equipment, of which he made good use. There must also have been television sets and radios. Though it was not reported if he took advantage of these facilities, when the shop reopened he was discovered in bed with a large number of empty bottles beside him. He seems to have been a man of good humor as indeed tramps very commonly are.
Everyone else was enjoying Christmas, so he saw no good reason why he should not do the same. He yielded himself cheerfully, and was taken by the police. Perhaps he had had a better Christmas than usual . He was sent to prison for seven days. The judge awarded no compensation (赔偿)to the chain store for the food and drink our tramp had consumed. They had , in his opinion, already received valuable free publicity from the story revealed in the newspaper and one television. Perhaps the judge had had a good Christmas, too.
第 36 题 The tramp was locked in the store_________.
A.for 7 days
B.on purpose
C.by accident
D.for security reasons
A.for themselves
B.by themselves
C.themselves
D.on their own
Even a carefui motorist may have the misfortune to commit a motoring__ 21__ .In due course. having received a summons (传票), he will appear in a police court. In the court,the motorist hears his name called by the clerk of the court, and cormes forward to_ 22__himself. The magistrate (地方法官) then calls for the policeman who_ 23__ the offender and asks him to give evidence. The officer takes the oath to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. He also is expected to give an account__ 24 __what happened when the offence was committed and to mention any special circumstances. For instance the offence__ 25__partly due. to the foolishness of another motorist, It would be unwise for the accused motorist to exaggerate this. It will not help his case to try to blame__26_ for his own mistake. The magistrate, __27_ hearing that some other motorist is invoived, willl doubtless say:What is being done about this man? "Case coming up later this afternoon, may_ 28_ be the answer. __29__ you are guilty, it is of course wise to plead and apologize for committing the offence and__ 30__ the court&39;s time, Magistrates are not heartless and a motorist may be lucky enough to hear one say:"There are mitigating circumstances, __31__ you have broken the law and I am obliged to impose a fine. Pay five pounds. Next case ". __32_ many of-fences,if you wish to plead guilty you may do so by post and ,avoid__33__ the court at all. Some. shor-tempered people forget that both policemen and magistrates have a public duty to_34 _and arerude to them. This does not pay :and rightly so! A magistrate wil not let off an offender 35 because he is respectable, but the courteous (有礼貌的) lawbreakers may certainly hope that the magistrate will extend to him what tolerance the law permits.
