    请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

    注意：每个空格只填1个单词。

    Waste to Energy－JUST BURN IT！

    WHY BURN WASTE？

    　　Waste-to-energy plants generate(产生)enough electricity to supply 2.4 million households in the US．But, providing electricity is not the major advantage of waste-to-energy plants．In fact, it costs more to generate electricity at a waste-to-energy plant than it does at a coal, nuclear, or hydropower plant．

    　　The major advantage of burning waste is that it considerably reduces the amount of trash going to landfills．The average American produces more than 1,600 pounds of waste a year．If all this waste were landfilled, it would take more than two cubic yards of landfill space．That's the volume of a box three feet long, three feet wide, and six feet high．If that waste were burned, the ashes would fit into a box three feet long, three feet wide, but only nine inches high!

    　　Some communities in the Northeast may be running out of land for new landfills．And, since most people don't want landfills in their backyards, it has become more difficult to obtain permits to build new landfills．Taking the country as a whole, the United States has plenty of open space, of course, but it is expensive to transport garbage a long distance to put it into a landfill．

    　　TO BURN OR NOT TO BURN?

    　　Some people are concerned that burning garbage may harm the environment．Like coal plants, waste-to-energy plants produce air pollution when the fuel is burned to produce steam or electricity．Burning garbage releases the chemicals and substances found in the waste．Some chemicals can be a threat to people, the environment, or both, if they are not properly controlled．

    　　Some critics of waste-to-energy plants are afraid that burning waste will hamper(妨碍，阻碍)recycling programs．If everyone sends their trash to a waste-to-energy plant, they say, there will be little motive to recycle．Several states have considered or are considering banning waste-to-energy plants unless recycling programs are in place．Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York City have delayed new waste-to-energy plants, hoping to increase the level of recycling first．

    　　So, what's the real story?Can recycling and burning waste coexist?At first glance, recycling and waste-to-energy seem to be at odds(不一致), but they can actually complement(弥补)each other．That's because it makes good sense to recycle some materials, and better sense to burn others．

    　　Let's look at aluminum, for example．Aluminum mineral is so expensive to mine that recycling aluminum more than pays for itself．Burning it produces no energy．So clearly, aluminum is valuable to recycle and not useful to burn．

    　　Paper, on the other hand, can either be burned or recycled－it all depends on the price the used paper will bring．

    　　Plastics are another matter．Because plastics are made from petroleum and natural gas, they are excellent sources of energy for waste-to-energy plants．This is especially true since plastics are not as easy to recycle as steel, aluminum, or paper．Plastics almost always have to be hand sorted and making a product from recycled plastics may cost more than making it from new materials．

    　　To burn or not to burn is not really the question．We should use both recycling and waste-to-energy as alternatives to landfilling．

    　　Waste to Energy－JUST BURN IT!

    阅读理解：

    　　“To be or not to be”．Outside the Bible, these six words are the most famous in all the literature of the world．They were spoken by Hamlet when he was thinking aloud, and they are the most famous words in Shakespeare because Hamlet was speaking not only for himself but for every thinking man and woman．To be or not to be－to live or not to live, to live richly and abundantly and eagerly, or to live dully and meanly and scarcely．A philosopher once wanted to know whether he was alive or not, which is a good question for everyone to put to himself occasionally．He answered it by saying,“I think, therefore I am．”

    　　But the best definition of existence I ever saw was one written by another philosopher who said,“To be is to be in relations．”If this is true, then the more relations a living thing has, the more it is alive．To live abundantly means simply to increase the range and intensity(强度)of our relations．Unfortunately, we are so constituted that we get to love our routine．But other than our regular occupation, how much are we alive?If you are interested only in your regular occupation, you are alive only to that extent．So far as other things are concerned－poetry and prose, music, pictures, sports unselfish friendships, politics, international affairs－you are dead．

    　　On the contrary, it is true that every time you acquire a new interest－even more, a new accomplishment－you increase your power of life．No one who is deeply interested in different kinds of subjects can remain unhappy．The real pessimist is the person who has lost interest．

    　　Bacon said that a man dies as often as he loses a friend．But we gain new life by contacts with new friends, and new ideas and thoughts, too．Where your thoughts are, there will be your life also．If your thoughts are limited only to your business, only to your physical welfare, only to your narrow circle of the town in which you live, then you live in a narrow restricted life．But if you are interested in the characters of a good novel, then you are living with those highly interested people; if you listen intently to fine music, you are always away from immediate surroundings and living in a world of passion and imagination．

    　　To be or not to be－to live intensely and richly, or merely to exist, that depends on ourselves．Let us widen and intensify our relations．While we live, let us live．
