18、 within 24 hours on Nov 11.But there is a drawback to the shopping carnival.Most,if not all,of the products sold on the day have to be packaged well and sent through couriers.And the proper disposal(处置)of the materials used to package them has become a problem.According to the State Post Bureau,the
19、number of express deliveries(快递)reached almost 100 million on Nov 11 last year,which means about 100 million boxes were needed to pack the parcels.How many of those boxes were recycled?There is no national data on that,but several media reports last year said the percentage was quite low.In one inte
20、rview after another interviews,most respondents said they felt sorry for throwing the boxes away and they would not have done that had they been told how to deal with them properly.Beijing News even quoted a woman as saying that she had more than 20 boxes at home last November and didnt know what to
21、 do with them,yet she did not throw them away because she didnt want to do “waste” them.Considering the lack of a garbage sorting system in China,throwing away packaging materials more often than not means disposing of them with kitchen waste.That is not only a waste of recyclable materials but also
22、 harmful to the environment.In this aspect,courier companies could do something.Such companies always need packaging materials,and by offering rewards to consumers who return them,they will reduce not only waste but also their packaging costs.This model has a successful example:when a consumer place
23、s an order for fresh milk in cities like Beijing,he or she pays a certain amount of money above the price of the milk to the supplier,who pays it back after the consumer returns the glass bottle.The recycling or reuse of glass bottles has become standard practice,which courier companies can learn fr
24、om.With Nov 11 just a few days away,this recycling or reuse model could help reduce waste in the country.Since China faces an environmental challenge,we cannot afford to waste hundreds of millions of paper boxes any more.29.

25、s A.indifferent B.considerate C.regretful D.disappointed30. The successful example is mentioned in order to A. call on consumers to return glass bottles.B. show the reuse of glass bottle is very popular.C. recommend a standard model to courier companies to follow.D. ask all companies to handle waste
26、 with this method.31. This passage mainly talks about A.how to deal with package boxes. B.how to package the goodsC.the cause of package waste D.the lack of garbage sorting systems in China.D“People are ruder today because they are rushed and more time poor than ever before,” says Patsy Rowe, “ Mann
27、ers have fallen off the radar(雷达).” Due to our strong attraction to electronic equipment it is a wonder more people dont wake up 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
28、. To them, dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward. It feels very slow because humans dont work at 4G speeds. When you have dinner with friends, you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone. We have programmed ourselves to think that every new me
29、ssage brings life-changing news, so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with. What is worse, some people even tend to send anonymous（匿名的）rude messages by email.However, rudeness is never acceptable. Dont assume it is OK to be rude if the person yo
30、ure in touch with wont recognize you. If you have something awful to say, have the courage to face the person and say it, write a letter or email and sign it, or forget it. Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and annoying.We shouldnt blame technology for our shortcomings. Technology is
31、here to help us, but we should not allow it to take over our lives. An important step is admitting our shortcomings. People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more helpful if wed publicly recognize good manners when we see them.32. What can be inferred from the underli
