    　　Disposing(处理)of waste has been a problem since humans started producing it．As more and more people choose to 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 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 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 nonexistent．Awareness of pollution dangers has resulted in more strict rules of waste disposal．Pollution of rivers, ground water, land and air is a price people cannot longer pay to get rid of waste．The amount of waste, however, continues to grow．

    　　Recycling efforts have become common place, and many towns require their people to take part．Even the most efficient recycling programs, however, can hope to deal with only about 50 percent of a city’s reusable waste．

    　　As people continue to grow and age, our body systems(系统)continue to change．At a certain point in your life your body system will begin to weaken．Your strength may become weaker．It may become more difficult for you to see and hear．The slow change of aging causes our bodies to lose some of their ability to bounce back from disease and injury．In order to live longer, we have always tried to slow or stop this change that leads us toward the end of our lives．

    　　Many factors(因素)decide your health．A good diet plays an important role．The amount and type of exercise you get is another factor．Your living condition is yet another．But scientists studying aging problem want to know：Why do people grow old?They hope that by studying the aging medical science they may be able to make the length of life longer．

    　　There is nothing to be afraid of as old age comes．Many consider the later part of life to be the best time for living．Physical activity may become less, but often you get better understanding of yourself and the world．

    　　What we consider old age now may only be middle-aged some day soon．Who knows, with so many advances in medical science happening so quickly, life length may one day be measured in centuries, rather than in years!

    　　Bond had walked for only a few minutes when it suddenly occurred to him that he was being followed．There was no evidence for it except a slight headache and a little knowing the people near him but believed in his sixth sense and he at once stopped in front of the shop window he was passing and looked occasionally back along 46th Street．Nothing but a lot of miscellaneous people moving slowly on the sidewalks, mostly on the same side as himself, the side that was back from the sun．There was no sudden movement into a doorway, nobody wiping his face with a handkerchief to avoid recognition, nobody bending down to tie a shoelace．

    　　He went on and turned into the Avenue of the Americans, stopping in the first doorway, the entrance to a woman’s underwear store where a man in a blue suit with his back to him was examining the black lace paints on a particularly realistic-dummy(模型)．

    　　And then something grasped his arm and a voice came,“All right, Limey．Take it easy unless you want lead for lunch,”and he felt something press into his back just above the kidney．

    　　There was a tap as his fist was caught in the other man’s left hand, and at the same time as the contact telegraphed to Bond’s mind that there could have been no gun, there came the well remembered laugh and the lazy voice saying：“No good, James．The angles have got you．”

    　　Bond straightened himself slowly and for a moment he could only gaze into the smiling face of Felix Leiter with blank dis-belief, his built-up tension(紧张)slowly relaxing．

    　　“So you were doing a front tail, you bastard(赝品)，”he finally said．

    [　　]

    A．

    Put up your hands．

    B．

    Don’t move or I’ll shoot you．

    C．

    If you want to have lunch, you must listen to me．

    D．

    You go first slowly and we’ll have lunch together．
