31、es to talking with their own children, mom and dad lie surprisingly often, finds a new study carried out by researchers in the University of Toronto, Canada. Almost every parent in the study admits having come up with some tales to influence a child s actions and feelings. For example, a parent is a
32、nnoyed by a childs crying and says, “The police will come to get you if you dont stop crying now. “ In another example, an uncle has just died and the child is told that he has become a star to watch over the child. Whether parents lie to benefit themselves or to protect the child, researchers sugge
33、st such talltales could give children mixed messages at a time when they are trying to figure out how to deal with the social world. Lies could also harm the parent-child relationship. It could even keep children from learning certain rules. “If I am always lying to the child in order to get the chi
34、ld to do X, Y, or Z, then they have never learned why they should do X, Y , or Z.“ Heyman, one of the researchers, said. Heyman also said, “It is common for parents to try out various ways, including lying, to guide a child, but most parents never think about how it will influence their child. I thi

S
39、weet wrappers (包装纸) ? A beautiful kite. But these are not the imaginings of a dreamer. For the 28-year-old CEO of Trenton, New Jersey-based TerraCycle, theyre a business model. The fast-talking Szaky is leading the new industry of upcycling. Instead of recycling (shredding or breaking down materials
40、 and enabling them to be reproduced as other products), TerraCycle takes packaging headed for landfills(垃圾填埋) and reuses itmore or less whole. TerraCycle s 85 employees make nearly 200 products, sold at shops such as Petco, Kmart, Whole Foods Market, and Target. Szakys $7. 4 million company, now als
41、o moving ahead in Mexico, Canada, the United Kingdom and Brazil is a far cry from the business he founded with classmate Jon Beyer in 2002 as a freshman at Princeton University. The two entered a business competition with a plan to sell an organic plant fertilizer (有机肥料) made from worm waste. They l
42、ost the competition but started the business anyway. With their goalto make products entirely out of rubbishsuddenly clear, Szaky knew the time was right to drop out of Princeton. TerraCycle s first product used dining-hall waste to feed the worms and thrown-away bottles to package the fertilizer. T
43、he result: a cheap, green breakthrough. Word spread, and in 2004, Home Depot began carrying the fertilizer in its Canadian stores. To Szaky, waste does not exist in nature. TerraCycle is a “second chance“ employer of, say, a piece of furniture, an ice-cream container. As Szaky points out: “The bigge
44、st problem with most green, fair-trade, and organic products is that they tend to cost more. At TerraCycle, everything is made from rubbish, and rubbish is free. People should be able to protect the planet without having to pay a cost for that right.“（分数：8.00）(1).Who is Tom Szaky?（分数：2.00）A.A studen
