By the year 2050 that number is expected to rise

11、 to 3 billion tons. The World Bank estimates that the largest amount of trash today, about 44 percent, is plastic. But we often have to buy packaged goods. And often that packaging is made of plastic.Now, that may be changing. A new environmentally-friendly shopping model was recently launched at th

12、e World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. This shopping model, called Loop, aims to replace throwaway containers with reusable ones.Loop is the idea of Terra Cycle, an American-based recycling company. Its chief, Tom Szaky. told the Associated Press (AP) that “removing plastics from the ocean is

13、 not enough.” He said the point is to get away from single-use packages. Szaky said that Loop is the future of shopping. But it comes from an idea of the past.He compared it to the “milkman model” of the 1950s in the United States. Back then, someone brought milk to your doorstep in glass bottles an

14、d then left with empty bottles. These could be cleaned and used again. The result is zero-waste.Jennifer Morgan from the environmental non-profit organization Greenpeace also joined in the discussion about Loop at Davos. She said that “Greenpeace welcomes the aim of the Loop Alliance to move away fr

15、om throwaway culture and disposability.” But Morgan questioned whether companies worldwide are ready to change their business models.Loop is set to launch later this year in three eastern U.S. states, and also in Paris, France and some of the surrounding area. Then Loop plans to expand to the U.S. W

29、luggage, you may feel that it would be worth paying for a taxi.If you simply want to cross London from one railway station to another or from a station to your hotel, then a taxi may be a good idea.

31、ce to find a taxi is at a railway station. Follow the signs for taxi and you will find what is called a taxi rank (a place in the road where a taxi can stop).

36、ll enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum (最后通牒) about being late on the job. Although there was a good reason for Brians being lateserious illness at homehe decided that this by-now-familiar excuse

39、 only tool that could wina laugh.Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying “no”, criticizing, getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face. For s

40、ome jobs, its the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialog may start a quarrel. For example, many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance (忍受力) than people in any other forum.1、Brian was late for

47、. The pain was nothing compared with what I experienced when I had to walk into our house alone.

I could see the disappointment in h
