How can we get rid of garbage? Do we have enough energy sources to meet our future energy needs?
These are two important questions that many people are asking today. Some people think that men might be able to solve both problems at the same time. They suggest using garbage as an energy source.
For a long time people buried garbage or dumped it on empty land. Now, empty land is scarce. But more and more garbage is produced each year. But garbage can be a good fuel to use. The things in garbage do not look like coal, petroleum, or natural gas; but they are chemically similar to these fossil fuels. As we use up our fossil
fuel supplies, we might be able to use garbage as an energy source.
Burning garbage is not a new idea. Some cities in Europe and the United States have been burning garbage for years. The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water. The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings. In Paris, France, some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the city's garbage each year. The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by burning almost a half million barrels of oil!
But there are problems in using garbage as a fuel. Garbage that burns easily, such as food scrapes and paper, must be separated from metals, glass, and other materials that do not burn easily. This separation process is normally costly. Another problem is that burning garbage can pollute the air.
Our fossil fuel supplies are limited. Burning garbage might be one kind of energy source that we can use to help meet our energy needs. This method could also reduce the amount of garbage piling up on the earth.
1．What two problems can be solved by burning garbage?
[ ]
A．The shortage of energy; air pollution.
B．The shortage of energy; the shortage of empty land for holding garbage.
C．Air pollution; the shortage of empty land for holding garbage.
D．Air pollution; the shortage of fossil fuel.
2．Which of the following is NOT a result of burning garbage?
[ ]
A．The heat produced is used to boil water.
B．The steam produced is used to make electricity.
C．The garbage burned is turned into fossil fuels.
D．The steam produced is used to heat buildings.
3．According to the passage, which of the following four groups of garbage is ready for burning?
[ ]
A．Food scraps and metals
B．Paper and glass.
C．Metals and glass.
D．Food scraps and paper.

Disposing of the garbage we produce every day is a major problem in cities around the world. In the United States, over 160 million tons of garbage is produced every year. Ten percent is recycled, ten percent is burned, and the rest is put in landfills. But finding land for new landfills is becoming more difficult.
A city that has solved this problem in an unusual way is Machida in Tokyo. They have developed a totally new way of dealing with garbage. The key to the operation is that people should work together. Families must divide their garbage into six groups:
| 1. garbage that can be easily burned, such as kitchen and garden trash 2. garbage that doesn’t burn easily, such as plastic tools and plastic toys 3. products that are poisonous or that cause pollution, such as batteries 4. bottles and glass containers that can be recycled 5. metal containers that can be recycled 6. large items, such as furniture and bicycles |
| A．Group 6, Group 5, Group 1. | B．Group 1, Group 3, Group 2. |
| C．Group 6, Group 5, Group 2. | D．Group 6, Group 4, Group 1. |
| A．those who are working at the garbage disposal centre are disabled persons. |
| B．without people’s cooperation, the garbage disposal project would be a failure. |
| C．the items in Group1 and Group6 are not collected on the same day. |
| D．the garage is taken to a clean new office building for disposal. |

Disposing of the garbage we produce every day is a major problem in cities around the world. In the United States, over 160 million tons of garbage is produced every year. Ten percent is recycled, ten percent is burned, and the rest is put in landfills. But finding land for new landfills is becoming more difficult.
A city that has solved this problem in an unusual way is Machida in Tokyo. They have developed a totally new way of dealing with garbage. The key to the operation is that people should work together. Families must divide their garbage into six groups:
|
1. garbage that can be easily burned, such as kitchen and garden trash 2. garbage that doesn’t burn easily, such as plastic tools and plastic toys 3. products that are poisonous or that cause pollution, such as batteries 4. bottles and glass containers that can be recycled 5. metal containers that can be recycled 6. large items, such as furniture and bicycles |
The items in Groups 1 to 5 are collected on different days. Large items are only collected upon request. Then the garbage is taken to a centre that looks like a clean new office building or hospital. Inside the centre, special equipment is used to sort and deal with garbage. Almost everything can be reused: garden or kitchen trash becomes fertilizer; garbage that can burn is burned to produce electricity; metal containers and bottles are recycled; and old furniture, clothing, and other useful items are cleaned, repaired, and resold cheaply or given away. The work provides employment for the disabled and gives them a chance to learn new skills.
Nowadays, officials from cities around the world visit Machida to see whether they can use some of these ideas and techniques to solve their own garbage problems.
