They run around full of 44, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage 45 up, they need a place to dump it and someti
20、mes theyll dump it on 46 . Dont take it personally; Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Believe me. Youll be 47 .”So I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and 48 it to other people at work, at home, or on the street?
21、 It was then that I said, “I dont want their garbage and Im not going to spread it anymore.”Lifes too short to wake up in the morning with 49 . The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on whats 50 in your life. See, Roy Baumeister, a psychology researcher from Florida State University
22、，found in his extensive research that you _51 bad things more often than good things in your life. You store the bad memories more easily, and you _52 them more frequently.

30、tion hopes that equipping mothers to earn more money as working professionals will also be a stimulus to the economy.In addition, a great incentive for mums considering this program is that it applies to enrollment in nearly any type of higher education institution.

56、ries C. introduce some childrens books D. show us prices of some books D“Reduce, reuse and recycle”, this popular environmental slogan tells us how to reduce the amount of rubbish that ends up in landfills.The slogan is being used to deal with one possibly dangerous form of electronic junk, such as
57、old computers, cellphones, and televisions. But this process of managing e-waste may be used in an unscrupulous way more often than not, a recent report suggests.“Many of these materials are being sent to developing nations under the excuse for reuse-to bridge the digital divide,” said Richard Gutie
58、rrez, a policy researcher.One of the problems is that no one proves whether these old machines work before they hit the seaways. Because of this, the report says, e-waste is a growing problem in Lagos, Nigeria, and elsewhere in the developing world. Much of the waste ends up being thrown away along
59、rivers and roads. Often its taken apart by poor people, who may face dangerous exposure to poisonous chemicals in the equipment.Tradesmen also pay workers a little money to get materials back such as gold and copper. This low-tech recovery process could expose workers and the local environment to ma
60、ny dangerous materials used to build electronics. According to Gutierrez, this shadow economy exists because the excuse for recycling and reusing electronics gives businessmen “a green passport” to ship waste around the globe. “Developing nations must take on some of the responsibility themselves,”
61、Gutierrez said. But he added, “a greater part of this responsibility should fall on the exporting state.”China, for example, has become a dumping place for large amounts of e-waste. The nation is beginning to take action to stop the flow of dangerous materials across its borders. The Chinese governm

64、mainly be responsible for the e- waste problem B. neither developed nor developing countries should be blamed for the e-waste problem C. developing countries should mainly be responsible for the e-waste problem D. developing countries should not be blamed for the e-waste problem74.
