That used glass bottles and aluminum cans can be turned into new ones? And that yesterdays newspaper can be turned in

19、to tomorrows? It all happens because of recycling(再利用).The simple waste we throw away is a “natural resource”that,with recycling,can be used to produce a variety of new products.

20、t is having to cope with a serious solid waste problem. Every year,Americans throw away about 160 million tons of rubbish.Of that total,plastics make up less than 8%,paper about 36%,and glass and metal about 20%,all by weight.Plastics are naturally lighter,but still,when pressed together,accout for

21、only about 20% by volume. As a result,in the past 10 years the United States waste disposal grounds have decreased from about 18,500 to 6,000.In five years 2,000 more will close.

23、uld all rise greatly. Some Americans believe part of the answer to Americas waste problem lies in recycling everything from glass to metals to paper to plastic. Today,recycling is on the rise.There are now more than 1,000 waste recycling programs in the U.S.Many are beginning to recycle plastics. Ri

24、ght now,almost 200 panies are recycling millions of used plastic containers into toys,traffic signs,waste baskets,floor materials,and park benches.

31、meaning.Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.s results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory,and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.16.Henning made the experiment in order to study_.A.how students remem
