According to Alvin Toffler, author of the best seller Future Shock, America has become a throwaway society. Cardboard milk containers and rockets are only two examples. Such products are created for short - term or one - time use. They are becoming more numerous and more important to modem living. Toffler thinks that man's relationships with things will grow increasingly temporary.
As proof of this trend (趋势), Toffler gives examples of such products as disposable diapers (一次性尿布), kleenes (面巾纸), and non - returnable bottles. Vegetables are encased in plastic sacks. They can be dropped into a pan of boiling water and thrown away after the meal. TV dinners are cooked in throwaway trays. They are even served in them.
All these things are quickly used up. Then they are ruthlessly eliminated (永远消除). In Toffler's view, the American home has become little more than a large processing (加工) plant. Toffler further believes that his countrymen are developing throwaway values to go with their throwaway products. He says that easy disposability leads to shorter man - thing relationships. People were once linked with a few objects for a long time. Now they are linked with a series of objects for brief period.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
If there is any single factor that makes success in living, it is the ability to be benefited by defeat. Every success I know has been achieved because the person was able to analyze (分析) defeat and actually learn something from it in this next undertaking (从事的工作). Wrongly taking defeat for failure, you are sure indeed to fail, for it isn't defeat that makes you fail; it is your own refusal to see the guide and encouragement to success in defeat.
Defeats are nothing to be afraid of. They are common incidents in the life of every man who achieves success. But defeat is a dead loss unless you do face it, analyze it and learn why you failed. Defeat, in other words, can help to get rid of its own cause. Not only does defeat prepare us for success, but nothing can cause within us such a strong wish to succeed. If you let a baby grasp a stick and try to pull it away, he will hold it more and more tightly until his whole weight is hung up. It is this same reaction that should give you new and greater strength every time you are defeated. If you make full use of the power which defeat gives, you can complete with it far more than you are able to.
