25、解 56 Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment(环境 ) friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced,
26、and these are difficult to get rid of. However, today more and more consumers are choosing “green“ and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: “Will this shampoo damage the environment? Can this metal containe

So he was often with the doctors and got along very well with them. When he was fourteen, he was already hanging aro
33、und the hospital where he was supposed to be helping to clean the medicine bottles, but was actually trying to listen to the doctors conversations with patients in the next room. During the war Sanders served in the army as a surgeon(外科医生 ). “That was the happiest time of my life. I was dealing with
34、 real sufferers and on the whole making a success of my job.“ In Rhodes he taught the country people simple facts about medicine. He saw himself as a life-saver. He had proved his skill to himself and had a firm belief that he could serve those who lived simply, and were dependent upon him. Thus, wh
35、ile in a position to tell them what to do he could feel he was serving them.

39、 man in his early twenties who was studying to be a carpenter. He was a good worker, honest and worthy of trust, so his boss was pleased with him. As he was such a likable man and easy to deal with, he was popular with his workmates, too. They also made fun of him a great deal but he never got angry
40、 with them and would only laugh. But Jims one great shortcoming was that he could never tell a lie, no matter how hard he tried, not even a little one. In fact, he was so honest and shy that he would blush even when he was telling the truth. He used to stand in front of the mirror and practice lying
41、 while looking himself in the eyes at the same time. But as soon as he saw his face starting to go red he had to look away. One morning, however, he didnt feel like going to work because he had been to a party the night before and it hadnt ended till the early hours of the morning. And so far the fi
