live close together in cities,the waste-disposal problem becomes increasingly difficult. during the eighteenth century,it was usual for several neighboring towns to get together to select a faraway spot as a dump site.residents or trash haulers(垃圾拖运者)would transport household rubbish,rotted wood,and old possessions to the site.periodically(定期的)some of the trash was burned and the rest was buried.the unpleasant sights and smells caused no problem because nobody lived close by. factories,mills,and other industrial sites also had waste to be disposed of.those located on rivers often just dumped the unwanted remains into the water.others built huge burners with chimneys to deal with the problem. several facts make these choices unacceptable to modern society.the first problem is space dumps,which are now called landfills,are most needed in heavily populated areas.such areas rarely have empty land suitable for this purpose.property is either too expensive or too close to residential(住宅区的) neighborhoods.long-distance trash hauling has been a common practice but once farm areas are refusing to accept rubbish from elsewhere,cheap land within trucking distance of major city areas is almost nonexistent. awareness(意识) of pollution dangers has resulted in more strict rules of waste disposal. pollution of rivers,ground water,land and air is a price people can no longer pay to get rid of waste. the amount of waste,however,continues to grow. recycling efforts have become commonplace,and many towns require their people to take part.even he most efficient recycling programs,however,can hope to deal with only about 50 percent of a citys reusable waste.36.the most suitable title for this passage would be _.a.places for disposing waste b.waste pollution

moving as a child with her family to southern rhodesia, now zimbabwe, where she stayed in school only to the age of 14.a year after moving to london, she published her first novel in 1950. the grass is singing examines unbridgeable racial conflict in colonial africa through the eyes of a white farmers wife and her black servant.a member of the british communist party during the 1950s and a campaigner against nuclear arms and south african apartheid, lessing was for years banned from that country and from rhodesia.her literary breakthrough came in 1962 with publication of the golden notebook, seen by many, though not necessarily lessing, as a pioneering work of modern feminism. a disjointed study of the mind of the main character, anna wulf, the novel explores her thoughts about africa, politics and communism, relationships with men and sex, and jungian analysis and dream interpretation.lessings themes shifted to psychology in her works from the 1960s, and by the 1970s she was fascinated with the islamic mystic tradition of sufism. her turn toward science fiction with the canopus series in the early 1980s was not warmly received by traditionalist critics, but she has continued to win new readers and numerous literary awards, including the david cohen british literary prize and the companion of honour from the royal society of literature, both in 2001.following the announcement, the horace engdahl told voa why he was personally so pleased with lessings selection.she is one of the truly great writers - of novels, short stories, fiction and non-fiction, engdahl said. she is one of the few writers who have had the courage to uphold the principle of equality between the male and female experience, and she has given the impulse to numbers of other women writers. and she is really the mother of a school that is one of the most important in our contemporary literature.at 87, doris lessing is the oldest nobel literature laureate since the first prizes were awarded in 1901. each nobel prize is this year accompanied by a check for approximately $1.4 million.6. how old was doris lessing when she published her first novel?a. 14 b. 26 c. 31 d. 507.
