You have just finished your meal at a fast food restaurant and you throw your uneaten food, food wrappers, drink cups, utensils and napkins into the trash can. You don¡¯t think about that waste again. On trash pickup day in your neighborhood, you push your can out to the curb, and workers dump the contents into a big truck and haul it away. You don¡¯t have to think about that waste again, either. But maybe you have wondered, as you watch the trash truck pull away, just where that garbage ends up.

Americans generate trash at an astonishing rate of four pounds per day per person; which translates to 600,000 tons per day or 210 million tons per year! This is almost twice as much trashes per person as most other major countries. What happens to this trash? Some gets recycled (»ØÊÕÀûÓÃ) or recovered and some is burned, but the majority is buried in landfills.

How Much Trash Is Generated?

Of the 210 million tons of trash, or solid waste, generated in the United States annually, about 56 million tons, or 27 percent, is either recycled (glass, paper products, plastic, metals) or composted (×ö³É¶Ñ·Ê) (yard waste). The remaining trash, which is mostly unredeemable, is discarded.

The trash production in the United States has almost tripled since 1960. This trash is handled in various ways. About 27 percent of the trash is recycled or composted, 16 percent is burned and 57 percent is buried in landfills. The amount of trash buried in landfills has doubled since 1960. The United States ranks somewhere in the middle of the major countries (United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, France and Japan) in landfill disposal. The United Kingdom ranks highest, burying about 90 percent of its solid waste in landfills.

There are two ways to bury trash:

Dump¡ªan open hole in the ground where trash is buried and that is full of various animals (rats, mice, birds). (This is most people¡¯s idea of a landfill!)

Landfill¡ªcarefully designed structure built into or on top of the ground in which trash is isolated from the surrounding environment (groundwater, air, rain). This isolation is accomplished with a bottom liner and daily covering of soil.

Sanitary landfill¡ªland fill that uses a clay liner to isolate the trash from the environment

Municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill¡ªlandfill that uses a synthetic (plastic) liner to isolate the trash from the environment

The purpose of a landfill is to bury the trash in such a way that it will be isolated from groundwater, will be kept dry and will not be in contact with air. Under these conditions, trash will not decompose (¸¯ÀÃ) much. A landfill is not like a compost pile, where the purpose is to bury trash in such a way that it will decompose quickly.

For a landfill to be built, the operators have to make sure that they follow certain steps. In most parts of the world, there are regulations that govern where a landfill can be placed and how it can operate. The whole process begins with someone proposing the landfill.

In the United States, taking care of trash and building landfills are local government responsibilities. Before a city or other authority can build a landfill, an environment impact study must be done on the proposed site to determine:

the area of land necessary for the landfill

the composition of the underlying soil and bedrock

the flow of surface water over the site

the impact of the proposed landfill on the local environment and wildlife

the historical value of the proposed site

Once the environmental impact study is complete, the permits are granted and the funds have been raised, then construction begins. First, access roads to the landfill site must be built if they do not already exist. There roads will be used by construction equipment, sanitation (»·ÎÀ) services and the general public. After roads have been built, digging can begin. In the North Wake Country Landfill, the landfill began 10 feet below the road surface.

What Happens to Trash in a Landfill?

Trash put in a landfill will stay there for a very long time. Inside a landfill, there is little oxygen and little moisture. Under these conditions, trash does not break down very rapidly. In fact, when old landfills have been dug up or sampled, 40 year old newspapers have been found with easily readable print. Landfills are not designed to break down trash, merely to bury it. When a landfill closes, the site, especially the groundwater, must be monitored and maintained for up to 30 years!

A landfill, such as the North Wake County Landfill, must be open and available every day. Customers are typically municipalities and construction companies, although residents may also use the landfill.

Near the entrance of the landfill is a recycling center where residents can drop off recyclable materials (aluminum cans, glass bottles, newspapers and paper products). This helps to reduce the amount of material in the landfill. Some of these materials are banned from landfills by law because they can be recycled.

As customers enter the site, their trucks are weighed at the scale house. Customers are charged tipping fees for using the site. The tipping fees vary from $10 to $40 per ton. These fees are used to pay for operation costs. The North Wake County Landfill has an operating budget of approximately $4.5 million, and part of that comes from tipping fees.

Along the site, there are dropª²off stations for materials that are not wanted or legally banned by the landfill. A multi-material dropª²off station is used for tires, motor oil, and leadª²acid batteries. Some of these materials can be recycled.

In addition, there is a household hazardous waste dropª²off station for chemicals (paints, pesticides, other chemicals) that are banned from the landfill. These chemicals are disposed of by private companies. Some paints can be recycled and some organic chemicals can be burned in furnaces or power plants.

Other structures alongside the landfill are the borrowed area that supplies the soil for the landfill, the runoff collection pond and methane (¼×Íé) station.

Landfills are complicated structures that, when properly designed and managed, serve an important purpose. In the future, new technologies called bioreactors will be used to speed the breakdown of trash in landfills and produce more methane.

There is a new type of small advertisement becoming increasingly common in newspaper classified columns. It is sometimes placed among ¡°situations vacant¡±, although it does not offer anyone a job, and sometimes it appears among ¡°situations wanted¡±, although it is not placed by someone looking for a job, either. What it does is to offer help in applying for a job.

¡°Contact us before writing your application¡±, or ¡°Make use of our long experience in preparing your curriculum vitae or job history¡±, is how it is usually expressed. The growth and apparent success of such a specialized service is, of course, a reflection on the current high levels of unemployment. It is also an indication of the growing importance of the curriculum vitae £¨or job history£©, with the suggestion that it may now qualify as an art form in its own right.

There was a time when job seekers simply wrote letters of application. ¡°Just put down your name, address, age and whether you have passed any exams¡±, was about the average level of advice offered to young people applying for their first jobs when I left school. The letter was really just for openers, it was explained, everything else could and should be saved for the interview. And in those days of full employment the technique worked. The letter proved that you could write and were available for work. Your eager face and intelligent replies did the rest.

Later, as you moved up the ladder, something slightly more sophisticated was called for. The advice then was to put something in the letter which would distinguish you from the rest. It might be the aggressive approach. ¡°Your search is over. I am the person you are looking for¡±, was a widely used trick that occasionally succeeded. Or it might be some special feature specially designed for the job interview.

There is no doubt, however, that it is increasing number of applicants with university education at all points in the process of engaging staff that has led to the greater importance of the curriculum vitae.

57. The new type of advertisement which is appearing in newspaper columns.

£ÛA£Ýinforms job hunters of the opportunities available

£ÛB£Ýpromises to offer useful advice to those looking for employment

£ÛC£Ýdivides available jobs into various types

58. Nowadays a demand for this specialized type of service has been created because.

£ÛA£Ýthere is a lack of jobs available for artistic people

£ÛB£Ýthere are so many topª²level jobs available

£ÛC£Ýthere are so many people out of work

£ÛD£Ýthe job history is considered to be a work of art

59. In the past it was expected that first job hunters would .

£ÛB£Ýpass some exams before applying for a job

£ÛC£Ýhave no qualifications other than being able to read and write

£ÛD£Ýkeep any detailed information until they obtained an interview

£ÛA£Ýsomething that would distinguish one from other applicants

£ÛB£Ýhinted information about the personality of the applicant

£ÛC£Ýone¡¯s advantages over others in applying for the job

61. The curriculum vitae has become such an important document because .

£ÛA£Ýthere has been an increase in the number of jobs advertised

£ÛB£Ýthere has been an increase in the number of applicants with degrees

£ÛC£Ýjobs are becoming much more complicated nowadays

£ÛD£Ýthe other processes of applying for jobs are more complicated

 

In cities with rent control, the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord can charge for an apartment. Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartments. Their rent cannot increase; therefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes. However, the critics say that after a long time, rent control may have negative effects. Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits. Therefore, they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits. They do not invest in new buildings which would also be rent-controlled. As a result, new apartments are not built. Many people who need apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city.

Some theorists argue that the minimum wage law can cause problems in the same way. The federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers. The minimum helps people who generally look for unskilled, low-paying jobs. However, if the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers. They will replace workers with machinery. The price, which is the wage that employers must pay, increases. Therefore, other things being equal, the number of workers that employers want decreases. Thus, critics claim, an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment. Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage.

Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity. Because of the law, workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum. Furthermore, employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages.

Economic theory predicts the results of economic decisions such as decisions about farm production, rent control, and the minimum wage. The predictions may be correct only if ¡°other things are equal¡±. Economists do not agree on some of the predictions. They also do not agree on the value of different decisions. Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it. Economists do agree, however, that there are no simple answers to economic questions.

For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. In  67  a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend  68  can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are  69 readers. Most of us develop poor reading 70 at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency 71  in the actual stuff of language itself-words. Taken individually, words have 72 meaning until they are strung together into phrased, sentences and paragraphs. 73 , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to  74  words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over  75  you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which  76 down the speed of reading is vocalization-sounding each word either orally or mentally as  77  reads.

To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an  78 , which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate  79  the reader finds comfortable, in order to ¡±stretch¡° him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast,  80  word-by-word reading, regression and sub vocalization, practically impossible. At first 81  is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, 82  your comprehension will improve. Many people have found 83 reading skill drastically improved after some training. 84 Charlce Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute 85 the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that how he can  86  a lot more reading material in a short period of time.
