B ECycling refers to the recycling of electronic items, which are becoming a common problem in American home and throughout the world. The EPA
31、, or Environmental Protection Agency, has actually started a program to help and motivate the recycling of electronics. To get the program to the regional and neighborhood levels, the EPA directed Plug-In to eCyeling Partners.” These partnerships support electronic reusing programs in individual com
32、munities. They provide local governments, retailers and manufacturers with opportunities to reuse and recycle their items. Those who make and offer electronic devices then promote programs and opportunities for consumers to reuse their second-hand electronic products. One of the EPAs goals is to enl
33、ighten customers about why the recycling of electronics is so important. They likewise wish to make eCycling chances easily accessible to specific consumers and their family electronics. According to the EPA, the eCycling program has actually been quite successful. In 2008, the EPA collected 66.5 mi
34、llion pounds of electronic devices through their Plug- In Partners. 5 / 11 Local governments have actually likewise got on board and passed laws intended to handle used electronic devices. Huge corporations have actually introduced eCycling programs at their local retail stores. One seller offers cu
35、stomers small, medium and big boxes for sale, which the customers then load with used electronics and go back to the store. Typically， customers bring their recyclable electronics to a location. When the electronic items are gathered by the EPA(typically this is done byt he Partners), they are reuse
36、d or recycled. Reused items are repaired and refurbished（翻新)，and passed on to others as a contribution. You can repair or recondition your very own electronic devices too, extending the life of the items and conserving the energy of making new materials. Reusing electronic devices includes making us
37、e of the products and pats of the items. These materials and parts are then made use of to produce another item. This is more efficient than making items from new materials. Some items that are commonly eCycled consist of televisions, computer monitors, printers, notebook computer, keyboards and cab
38、le televisions. Less usual items include copying machines, CDplayers， voice mail machines，computer hard drives, mobile telephones, remote controls, radios, batteries, telephones, facsimile machines and computer games. Occasionally, electronic items such as microwaves, fans, vacuums, smoke alarms, an
39、d toasters are eCycled. As the eCycling program continues, you or your organization may want to get involved. Check the EPAs internet site (www.epa.gov) for regional eCycling programs, or for details on how your company can participate. Their website has links to organizations that are taking part i
40、n the eCycling program. 33. The EPA brought about “Plug-In to eCycling Partners” to_. A. make and offer electronic devices to consumers B. make customers understand the importance of eCycling C. make the program accessible to local regions and communities D. make it possible for consumers to reuse t
41、heir used e-products 34. The Plug-In Partners are mainly engaged in_.

43、act people to join in the eCycling programs. 6 / 11 D. To call on local governments to support Plug-In Partners. C What role might arts play in response to climate change and related economic and ecological crises? Its often said that a novel, a painting, a song or a motion picture changed how a lot
44、 of people thought or felt about the world. Anthropologists(人类学家）and historians rightly argue that major changes in society have sprung up not from the arts, but from-our relationship to our environment. Nevertheless, artists efforts help shape the terms by which society adapts to such changes and t
45、heir consequences. Think of how Beethoven marked the beginnings of modern democracy and the nascent(初期的) Industrial Revolution. Or how Hollywood writers and directors inspired massive support for the U.S. war effort during the early 1940s. We have stepped into a century in which the societal systems
46、 have been built since the stat of the Industrial Revolution. Our food system，transport system，energy system，financial system，and possibly our political and governance systems were designed during an era in which fossil fuels met the great quantity of our fast-growing energy demand. But fossil fuels
47、 are exhaustible resources, and their reduction will drive evermore desperate methods of extraction（提炼)，create evermore environmental risk and require evermore capital-even as alternative energy sources they are also costly. Further, burning fossil fuels changes our planets climate. So, at the same
48、time our economy will need to be redesigned to run on entirely different energy sources, and the natural world will be shifting around us in unprecedented(空前的)ways，with more frequent disastrous storms，floods，droughts etc. Everything will be up for negotiation, redesign and change. And artists have t
49、he opportunity and duty to translate the resulting tumultuous（动荡的）human experience into words, images，and music that help people not just to understand these events mentally, but also to come to grips with them willingly. The economic and environmental shifts described above are currently being deta
50、iled in ever-greater specificity in hundreds of reports released yearly by climate and energy experts. Whats missing in their carefully worded journal articles is the human dimensions of imagination, joy or sorrow, inspiration, and passion. Art can help us cope with the possible effects of our colle
