35、: the box has to be taken out of its paper bag; the plastic wrapper has to be torn off, the lid opened and the packing paper inside removed; the chocolate itself then has to be unwrapped from its own piece of paper. Similarly a pot of face cream comes surrounded by layers of paper, wedged inside a c
36、ardboard box, and the whole thing wrapped tightly in plastic.It is not only luxuries which are wrapped in this way. With so many goods now produced centrally and sold in supermarkets it is becoming increasingly difficult to buy anything from nails to potatoes that is not already done up in plastic o
37、r paper.The wrapper itself is of no interest to the shopper, who usually throws it away immediately. Useless wrapping accounts for much of the 31 pounds in weight of rubbish put out by the average London household each week. So why is it done? Some of it, like the wrapping on meat, is necessary, but
38、 most of the rest is simply competitive selling. This is stupid. Packaging is using up scarce energy and raw materials and ruining all the time. One big firm reports that its glass, cans and paper have all gone up by 30 per cent in the last couple of months, while plastic has increased by 50 per cen
39、t and all these prices are still rising. This seems as yet to have had surprisingly little effect on the packaging practice of manufacturers.Little research is being carried out on the costs in energy and materials of other possible types of packaging. Just how practical is it, for instance, for loc
40、al authorities to save waste paper and re-manufacture it as egg-boxes? Would it be cheaper to plant another forest to produce new paper?One reason for the unorganized behavior of everyone concerned is probably the varied nature of the packaging industry. So many people, with so many different intere
41、sts of their own, are affected that it is extremely hard to reach any agreement on what should be done. Also, packagers say that preserving forests and preventing waste is not their concern.82 The shopper gets rid of the wrapper immediately because_（A）he is careless（B） it adds to the weight（C） it is
42、 difficult for him to handle（D）it has no importance for him83 From the passage, we can deduce that the main purpose of most wrapping is to_（A）help sell the product（B） save shoppers time（C） save shopkeepers time（D）help people carry their goods84 According to the passage, which of the following statem
43、ents is TRUE?（A）The wrapper itself is of great interest to the shopper.（B） A lot of research is being carried out on other types of packaging.（C） Packaging is using up scarce energy and raw materials.（D）Packagers say that preventing waste is their concern.85 According to the author, the packaging in
44、dustry is_（A）full of capable people（B） rather disorganized（C） very worried about waste（D）full of people with different opinions85 Whatever may be said against mass circulation magazines and newspapers, it can hardly be argued that they are out of touch with their readers daydreams, and therefore the
45、 inducements they hold out to them must be a near accurate reflection of their unfulfilled wants and aspirations. Study these and you will assuredly understand a good deal of what it is that makes society tick.Looking back, for example, to the twenties and thirties, we can see that circulation manag
46、ers unerringly diagnosed the twin obsessions which dominated that era of mass unemployment - economic insecurity and a passionate concern for the next generation. Thus it was that readers were recruited with offers of free insurance policies for the one, and free instant education for the other. The
47、 family whose breadwinner lost an eye in a double railway derailment, or an arm in a flood, could confidently expect to collect several hundred pounds from the Daily This or the Evening That. The family who could not afford to send their son to grammar school could find consolation in equipping him
48、with the complete works of Shakespeare in one magnificent, easy-to-read volume.After the war the need to fall into step with the new consumer society was soon realized. If you were flanked by neighbors who, unlike you, could afford a holiday abroad, then winning an easy competition could set you up
49、with a fortnight in an exotic sunspot. Dishwashers, washing machines, slow-cookers and deep-fat-friers were - and still are - available by the same means.86 The writer finds the study of gifts and prizes interesting because it_（A）reveals social trends（B） exposes journalistic dishonesty（C） confirms his view of human nature（D）shows the power of the popular press87 From the passage, we are told t
