Domestic onlineshopping platforms have turned Nov 11 into a shopping carnival in China.In 2015alone,the sales volume on Alibaba,a domestic online shopping platform,reached91.2 billion yuan ($13.5 billion) within 24 hours on Nov 11.
But there is adrawback to the shopping carnival.Most,if not all,of the products sold on theday have to be packaged well and sent through couriers.And the proper disposal(处置)of thematerials used to package them has become a problem.
According to theState Post Bureau,the number of express deliveries(快递)reached almost100 million on Nov 11 last year,which means about 100 million boxes were neededto pack the parcels.
How many ofthose boxes were recycled?There is no national data on that,but several mediareports last year said the percentage was quite low.In one interview afteranother interviews,most respondents said they felt sorry for throwing the boxesaway and they would not have done that had they been told how to deal with themproperly.Beijing News even quoted a woman as saying that she had more than 20boxes at home last November and didn’t know what to do with them,yet she didnot throw them away because she didn’t want to do “waste” them.
Considering thelack of a garbage sorting system in China,throwing away packaging materialsmore often than not means disposing of them with kitchen waste.That is not onlya waste of recyclable materials but also harmful to the environment.
In thisaspect,courier companies could do something.Such companies always needpackaging materials,and by offering rewards to consumers who return them,theywill reduce not only waste but also their packaging costs.
This model has asuccessful example:when a consumer places an order for fresh milk in citieslike Beijing,he or she pays a certain amount of money above the price of themilk to the supplier,who pays it back after the consumer returns the glassbottle.The recycling or reuse of glass bottles has become standardpractice,which courier companies can learn from.
With Nov 11 justa few days away,this recycling 
orreuse model could help reduce waste in the country.Since China faces anenvironmental challenge,we cannot afford to waste hundreds of millions of paperboxes any more.
29. The feeling for most intervieweesafter they threw boxes can be described as
A.indifferent B.considerate C.regretful D.disappointed
30. The successful example is mentionedin order to
A. call onconsumers to return glass bottles.
B. show thereuse of glass bottle is very popular.
C. recommend astandard model to courier companies to follow.
D. ask allcompanies to handle waste with this method.
31. This passage mainly talks about
A.how to dealwith package boxes. B.how to package the goods
C.the cause ofpackage waste D.the lackof garbage sorting systems in China.
D
“Peopleare ruder today because they are rushed and more ‘time poor’ than ever before,”says Patsy Rowe, “ Mannershave fallen off the radar(雷达).” Due to ourstrong attraction to electronic equipment it is a wonder more people don’t wakeup each morning and greet the singing birds with a complaint about the noise.Here are some examples of rudeness.
Some people prefer to do almost everything over the internet. To them, dealingwith an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward. It feels very slowbecause humans don’t work at 4G speeds. When you have dinner with friends, youwill often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone. We haveprogrammed ourselves to think that every new message brings life-changing news,so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to thepeople we are with. What is worse, some people even tend to send anonymous（匿名的）rudemessages by email.
However,rudeness is never acceptable. Don’t assume it is OK to be rude ifthe person you’re in touch with won’t recognize you. If you havesomething awful to say, have the courage to face the person and say it, write aletter oremail and sign it, or forget it. Upsetting people with unsigned messages iscruel and annoying.
Weshouldn’t blame technology for our shortcomings. Technology is hereto help us, but we should not allow it to take over our lives. An importantstep is admitting our shortcomings. People
spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more helpfulif we’d publiclyrecognize good manners when we see them.
32. What can beinferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1?
A.People can tell good from bad behavior. B. Radar is able to observehuman behavior.
C.People care little about their behavior. D. Radar can be used t
opredict human behavior.
33. Some peopleare less willing to deal with humans because________.
A.they are becoming less patient
B.they are growing too independent
C.they have to handle many important messages
D.they have to follow an evolutionary step backward.
34. The authorthinks sending unsigned awful messages is ________.
A.ridiculous B. hateful C.acceptable D. reasonable
35. What can welearn from the last paragraph?
A. Weshould praise good behavior. B.Technology can never be blamed.
C. Weshould keep pointing out mistakes. D. Technology will take over ourlives one day.

“Smart”Idioms[来源:Z&xx&k.Com]
Todaywe take a look at the word “smart”. If someone says you are smart, what do theymean? Is it a good thing or something bad? 36 Thisis because the word smart has many meanings.

For example,someone could say you look smart or are dressed smartly. That means they likewhat you are wearingand your physical appearance. To use a slang expression, they could say, “Youlook reallycool!” But if something smarts, it can be unkind or hurtful, either physicallyor mentally. If you accidentally trip over a chair and fall down, you mightshout, “Ow! That smarts!” Or if a friend says something that hurts yourfeelings, you can say you are smarting from the hurtful comments. 37

Newspapers and Websites
Newspapers and websites are two major new media in the world today, both ofwhich can provide us with lots of news and information. But they’re differentin some ways.
Newspapers enjoy a longer history and often come out dailywith more reliable news and information. They can be carried and read almostanywhere you like. So many people like reading them. But they can onlycontain texts and photos.
On the other hand, websites are quite new and popular,especially among young people. Websites have not only texts with pictures butalso audios and videos, which makes stories more interesting. What’s more, theyare updated from time to time. So the latest news is always seen on websitesinstead of in newspapers. But it is not quite convenient for people without acomputer connected with the Internet to get information from websites.
