This date is also commemorated at the United Nations and is 1 in many countries as a national holiday. When women on all continents, often

17、divided by national boundaries and by 2 , linguistic (语言上的), cultural, economic and political differences, come together to celebrate their Day, they can 3 to a tradition that represents at least nine decades of struggle for equality, 4 , peace and development. International Women“s Day is the story

18、 of ordinary women as makers of history; it is rooted in the centuries-old struggle of women to 5 society on an equal footing with men. In ancient Greece, Lysistrata initiated a sexual strike against men in order to end war; during the French Revolution, Parisian women 6 “liberty, equality, friendsh

19、ip“ marched on Versailles to demand women“s rights to vote. The idea of an International Women“s Day first arose at the turn of the century, which in the industrialized world was a period of 7 and turbulence, booming population growth and radical ideologies. Since those early years, International Wo

20、men“s Day has assumed a new global dimension for women in developed and developing countries alike. The growing international women“s movement, which has been 8 by four global United Nations women“s conferences, has helped make the commemoration a rallying point for 9 efforts to demand women“s right

21、s and participation in the political and economic process. Increasingly, International Women“s Day is a time to reflect on progress made, to call for change and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an 10 role in the history of women“s rights. （分数：71.00）填空项

How many friends we have, and how easily we make, maintain and lose them, has a significant impact on our emotional well-being. It“s no surprise, 1 , that friends c

23、an improve just about every aspect of our life. Friends can protect us from the 2 of bereavement (丧失亲人) or divorce. They don“t even have to be great friendssome of the positive effect is 3 down to the company: have a pint with a mate and you“re by definition not socially 4 . “There are friends you“r

You may take different 6 , have different experiences, which make it harder to maintain a friendship.“ says educational psycho

25、logist Karen Majors. We first recognise the importance of friends in childhood. While some of us may retain a few childhood friends, the biggest opportunity for friendship comes in higher education. A study of long-term friendships found that friendships formed during college years stayed close 20 y

26、ears later, if they scored highly in closeness as well as 7 to begin with. “At college you can 8 close friendships because you“re in such close 9 for sustained periods,“ says Glenn Sparks, Purdue“s professor of communication.

In the

28、movie WALLE, humankind has left Earth in a bit of a mess. The planet is choked with garbage and all the people have shipped out, leaving robot WALLE to clean the place up and make it habitable again. Things may not be quite that bad yet, but there“s no doubt that we produce a huge amount of waste. E

29、ven with increased recycling, landfill sites are filling up by the day andin the absence of a brave robotthe waste experts of planet Earth are working on the next best thing: landfill mining. B. The idea is simple. Instead of disappearing under mountains of our own waste, while paying through the no

30、se for diminishing commodities, why not dig up and recycle what we have already thrown away? C. Next week, industry experts will gather in London for the first global landfill mining conference. Bringing together environmental scientists, economists and landfill operators, the one-day meeting promis

31、es to show delegates how to turn waste into “garbage gold“. D. Landfill mining has been tried before. The first scheme began in 1953 at Hiriya garbage dump outside Tel Aviv, Israel, and aimed to reclaim fine-particle waste rich in minerals to improve soil quality at local fruit farms. The landfill c

32、losed in 1998, but the recycling plant that remains on the site still produces soil improver from green waste. Then during the 1960s and 1970s, a handful of sites in the US began separating waste to recycle the steel and to compost food scraps. In the late 1980s, a pilot programme was set up to extr

33、act recyclables from a small, community landfill in the town of Edinburg, New York, and burn the solid leavings to generate energy. This pilot proved uneconomical but during the oil price rising of the 1990s interest in the economic value of waste soared. Investors claimed to snap up scrap metal com

34、panies, only for the price of commodities to drop through the floor in the mid-1990s. E. Yet now that commodities prices are rising once more, environmental issues are nigh on everyone“s list of priorities and land prices are increasing, every square kilometre is worth too much to use for landfill.

35、Raiding the dump seems like a good idea again. This time the prospects are more promising. Thanks to a decade of innovation by the recycling industry, the technology to process landfill waste is more readily available. F. So what“s in a landfill worth recycling? For a start, the average landfill is

36、filled with valuableand sometimes even preciousmetals. Aluminium, from drinks cans, is just one example. According to Patrick Atkins, environmental consultant for private equity fund Pegasus Capital Advisors, and until recently director of energy innovation at US aluminium producer Alcoa, Americans

37、throw away 317 aluminium cans every second of every day. Around half of these, totalling 680,000 tonnes of aluminium each year, dodge the recycling basket and end up in landfill. Given that the cost of aluminium peaked at $2,700 per tonne in July this means America is burying up to $1.83 billion wor

38、th of metal per year. Atkins estimates that there is now more aluminium in US landfills than can be produced from ores globally in one year. And it“s not only aluminium that is hiding down there with the used diapers (尿布) and grocery bags. One tonne of scrap from discarded PCs contains more gold tha

39、n can be produced from 16 tonnes of ore, he says. And the world throws away 18 million tonnes of electronic waste each year. G. Nowadays it is relatively easy to separate the metal you want from the junk you don“t using recycling technologies. Eddy current (旋涡流) magnets, for example, can avert alumi

40、nium and other metals from a flowing stream of waste. Plastic, too, is becoming easier to pick out. Rather than the more expensive process of doing it by hand, some plastic sorting plants are now using some scanners, which sort different types based on the spectrum of light they absorb. And since ri

41、sing prices are making oil seem like an expensive raw material to produce plastics, recycling existing plastic from landfill seems sensible. H. Metals and plastics are only part of it, says William Hogland, an environmental engineer at the University of Kalmar in Sweden. All that smelly food and oth

42、er organic waste rots down sooner or later. And as the TelAviv project discovered back in the 1950s, even this can be worth digging up. I. “The earth fraction of landfill can be one of the most profitable as coverage material, compost (堆肥) and for lawn improvement,“ Hogland says. There“s also plenty

43、 of flammable material in landfills. One kilogram of the coarse earth fractioncontaining particles greater than 50 millimetres acrossyields between 6 and 10 megajoules (兆焦) of energy, Hogland says, and the average Swedish landfill has 40 million tonnes of the stuff. Burning that waste is a controver

44、sial idea because of toxins (毒素) that may be released in the process. But, Hogland says, thanks to new technology for cleaning flue gases, Sweden is building new incinerators (焚烧炉) to provide heat and light for local communities. J. So if landfill sites are, sometimes literally, gold mines, why aren

45、“t companies tearing into them already? For its part, Alcoa has invested heavily in stopping as many cans as it can from reaching a landfill, but has stopped short of digging them up again. “It“s not something we are doing at this point,“ said Alcoa spokesman Kevin Lowery. “If we thought it was the

46、most efficient thing, we“d do it.“ K. Part of the reason for this is that while aluminium can be recycled at a fraction of the cost of producing it from ore, and using 94 per cent less energy, that“s only the case once you have collected the cans. Getting them out of landfill is more expensive than

47、buying aluminium directly from a recycling plant. Plus no two landfill sites are the same. Each has a different blend of useful materials, mixed with all kinds of less useful or dangerous materials. And when you consider that companies would likely want to mine more than one site, covered perhaps by

48、 different state or national regulations, it starts to look like too much trouble. L. Reid Lifset, an industrial ecologist at Yale University who has investigated the prospect of extracting copper from landfills, has come to a similar conclusion. “With current technology and prices, landfill mining

49、is generally not economically feasible,“ he says. “The benefits such as revenue from sale of recovered metals, and reduction in regulatory costs, generally did not outweigh the costs.“ In other words, there may be a lot of copper buried in landfills, but if copper is your thing, a huge mine with gigantic equipment makes more sense than picking your way through several different landfill sites. M. Advocates of landfill mining argue that with more imagination and a sober asse
