The Norwegian government is doing its best to keep the oil industry under control. A new law limits exploration to an area south of the southern end of the long coastline, production limits have been laid down, and oil companies have not been allowed to employ more than a limited number of foreign workers. But the oil industry has a way of getting over such problems, and few people believe that the government will be able to hold things back for long.

Ever since the war, the government has been carrying out a program of development in the area north of the Arctic Circle. During the past few years this program has had a great deal of success. Tromso has been built up into a local capital with a university, a large hospital and a healthy industry. But the oil industry has already started to draw people south, and within a few years the whole northern policy could be in ruins.

The effects of the oil industry would not be limited to the north, however. With nearly 100 percent employment, everyone can see a situation developing in which the service industries and the tourist industry will lose most of their workers to the oil industry. Some smaller industries might even disappear altogether when it becomes cheaper to buy goods from abroad.

1.The Norwegian Government would prefer the oil industry to _____.

A. provide more jobs for foreign workers

B. slow down the rate of its development

C. sell the oil it is producing abroad

D. develop more quickly than at present

2.The Norwegian Government has tried to ____.

A. encourage the oil companies to discover new oil sources

B. prevent oil companies employing people from Northern Norway

C. help the oil companies solve many of their problems

D. keep the oil industry to something near its present size

3.According to the text, the oil industry might lead in Northern Norway to ____.

A. the development of industry

B. a growth in population

C. the failure of the development program

D. the development of new towns

4.In the south, one effect of the development of the oil industry might be _____.

A. a large reduction in unemployment

B. a growth in the tourist industry

C. a reduction in the number of existing industries

D. the development of a number of service industry.

There is a growing problem of what to do with electronic waste such as old televisions, computers, radios, cellular telephones and other electronic equipment.

Electronic trash, or e-waste, is piling up faster than ever in American homes and businesses. People do not know what to do with old televisions or computers, so they throw them in the trash.

National Solid Wastes Management Association (NSWMA) state programs director Chaz Miller says the large amount of electronic waste Americans produce is not unexpected.

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates more than 400 million consumer electronic items are dumped each year, and there is a push by more states to ban the waste from landfills(垃圾填埋场) and create recycling programs. They can be torn apart and sorted for useable parts. Mike Fannon who runs the plant in Baltimore, says, "There are a lot of valuable metals that can be recovered and reused instead of just putting them in the landfill, and in certain components, there are some materials that should not really be in the landfill," Fannon explains.

Fannon says nearly 20 percent of electronic waste is recycled nationwide. Thirteen years ago, it was only about 6 percent. Recycling rates continue to rise as more communities have banned electronics from landfills in an effort to keep e-waste poisons like lead(铅) and mercury(汞) out of garbage dumps.

This year, several states like Vermont imposed a ban on electronic waste in landfills. More than 25 other states have also adopted landfill bans, e-waste recycling programs or both. Chaz Miller says more can be done to boost electronic waste recycling.

"We can do much better," noted Miller. "I think clearly our goal should be to do as well as we do recycling newspapers."

1.Which of the following does NOT belong to e-waste?

A. Old televisions. B. Old computers.

C. Old cell phones D. Old newspapers.

2. Why is e-waste banned from landfills in many states?

A. Because it can not be recycled.

B. Because it might damage the environment.

C. Because it can be shipped to other countries.

D. Because the landfills are already full.

3.According to Mike Fannon, what might be the best way of dealing with e-waste?

A. Recycling it. B. Selling it.

C. Burying it. D. Breaking it.

4.What can we learn from the passage?

A. At present, less then 10 percent of e-waste is recycled.

B. Chaz Miller works for EPA.

C. All states in the US have banned e-waste from landfills.

D. Experts are optimistic about the future of e-waste.
