The dispsable culture
The dispsable (一次性的) culture started small. In1892 William Painter, funder f the Baltimre Bttle Seal Cmpany, patented the bttle cap. The bttles were returned and refilled, but the bttle caps were ____36____. They nly wrked nce. Painter’s chief salesman at the time was called Mr Gillette, wh went n t apply the same principle t his wn inventin, the dispsable versin-cameras, cntact lenses, barbecues- but the ____37____ has been taken a step further. Fr ____38____ reasns, mst f the electrical equipment that we buy fr the hme is effectively dispsable. This is because it is usually cheaper t ____39____ them than t mend them. This applies nt just t radis and tasters, but als t fridges, televisins and dishwashers. We nw live in a dispsable culture.
Mst peple feel ____40____ this new trend. We knw we shuld be reducing the amunt f waste we prduce and recycling as much as pssible althugh despite all ur effrts, landfill cntinues t increase.

With persistence, ne may still ____43____ smene ut there willing t make the necessary repairs t yur brken bread-making machine, but even they will feel bliged t infrm yu that, given the likely price f the ____44____, yu’ d prbably be better ff thrwing away the ld ne and buying the latest mdel. T ____45____ that smething shuld be mended even thugh that will cst mre than a brand-new replacement is weird, t say the least.
This dilemma (困境) ccasinally ____46____ the pssibility f fixing the damaged gds yurself. If smething is next t ____47____ anyway, why nt take it apart and see if yu can figure ut what’s wrng? I have had particular luck with cheap, plastic, battery-perated children’s tys, where bad manufacture is usually the cause f the ____48____ and sme strng glue r tape is usually all it needs t put it right. Small children tend t be impressed by this srt f thing, which is prbably the nly reasn I bther. I wuldn’t suggest yu attempt t repair yur wn micrwave, althugh I managed it nce. It was ne f the mst ____49____ experiences f my life a difficult success t mentin in casual cnversatin, perhaps, but I’m still trying.
While sme repairs are certainly beynd the ability f the rdinary cnsumer, many are unbelievably simple. Finding willing ____50____ may be almst impssible, but tracking dwn spare parts has never been easier nw that yu can lk n the Internet. There are als hundreds f sites ffering step-by-step instructins fr making repairs.

“Yu are mistaken!” the vice rebuked him. “He had nly ne prayer, which I answered. If nt fr that, yu wuld nt have received any f my blessings.”
“Tell me,” the first man asked the vice, “what did he pray fr that I shuld we him anything?”
“He prayed that all yur prayers wuld be answered.”

In the early decades f the United States, the agrarian(土地的) mvement prmted the farmer as sciety’s her. In the minds f agrarian thinkers and writers, the farmer was a persn n whse well-being the health f the new cuntry depended. The perid between the Revlutin, which ended in 1783, and the Civil War, which ended in 1865, was the age f the farmer in the United States. Agrarian philsphers, represented mst elquently by Thmas Jeffersn, celebrated farmers extravagantly fr their suppsed centrality in a gd sciety, their plitical virtue, and their Superir mrality. And virtually all plicy makers, whether they subscribed t the tenets f the philsphy held by Jeffersn r nt, recgnized agriculture as the key cmpnent f the American ecnmy. Cnsequently, gvernment at all levels wrked t encurage farmers as a scial grup and agriculture as ecnmic enterprise.
Bth the natinal and state gvernments develped transprtatin infrastructure, building canals, rads, bridges, and railrads, deepening harbrs, and remving bstructins frm navigable streams. The natinal gvernment imprted plant and animal varieties and launched explring expeditins int prspective farmlands in the West. In additin, gvernment trade plicies facilitated the exprting f agricultural prducts.
Fr their part, farmers seemed t meet the scial expectatins agrarian philsphers had fr them, as their brader hrizns and greater self-respect, bth prducts f the Revlutin, were reflected t sme degree in their behavir. Farmers seemed t becme mre scientific, jining agricultural scieties and reading the farm newspapers that sprang up thrughut the cuntry. They began using imprved implements, tried new crps and pure animal breeds, and became mre receptive t mdern theries f sil imprvement.
They als respnded t inducements by natinal and state gvernments. Farmers streamed t the West, filling frntier lands with stunning rapidity. But farmers respnded less t the expectatins f agrarians and gvernment inducements than t grwing market pprtunities. Eurpean demand fr fd frm the United States seemed insatiable. War, industrializatin, and urbanizatin all kept demand high in Eurpe. United States cities and industries grew as well; even industries nt directly related t farming thrived because f the market, mney, and labr that agriculture prvided.
58. What des the passage mainly discuss?
A. The agrarian philsphy f Thmas Jeffersn
B. The rle f the natinal gvernment in the develpment f agriculture
C. Imprvements in farming techniques
D. The impact f the increased imprtance f the farmer
59. The authr mentins Thmas Jeffersn in paragraph 1 as an example f ________.
A a leader during the Revlutin
B. an inventr f new farming techniques
C. a philspher wh believed farmers were essential t the creatin f a gd sciety
D a farmer wh guided the agrarian mvement tward an emphasis n ecnmic develpment
60. Accrding t the passage, the natinal and state gvernments did all f the fllwing EXCEPT ________.
A. build rads
B. imprt new plant varieties
C. give farmers mney fr their crps
D. develp plicies that helped farmers exprt their prducts
61. Which f the fllwing statements is best supprted by paragraph 4?
A. Agricultural develpment cntributed t develpment in ther parts f the ecnmy.
B. Eurpean agricultural prducts were f a higher quality than thse prduced in the United States.
C. The grwing settlement f the West led t a decrease in agricultural prductin.
D. Farmers were influenced mre by gvernment plicies than by market pprtunities.

“My wrk is dne.” Thse wrds were sme f the last penned by Gerge Eastman. He included them in his suicide nte. They mark an ignble end t a nble life, the leave taking f a truly great man. The same wrds culd nw be said fr the cmpany he left behind. Actually, the Eastman Kdak Cmpany is thrugh. It has been mismanaged financially, technlgically and cmpetitively. ___62___ One f America’s bedrck brands is abut t disappear, the Kdak mment has passed.
But Gerge Eastman is nt hw he died, and the Eastman Kdak Cmpany is nt hw it is being killed. Thugh the ends are needless and premature, they must nt be allwed t vershadw the greatness that came befre. Few cmpanies have dne s much gd fr s many peple, r defined and lifted s prfundly the spirit f a natin and perhaps the wrld. ___63___

Frm the deck f the Missuri t the grandeur f Mnument Valley, Kdak tk us there. Virtually every significant image f the 20th Century is a gift t generatin frm the Eastman Kdak Cmpany. ___65___ Yes, there were phtgraphers, and fr relatively large sums f mney they wuld take unnatural pictures in studis and frmal settings. But mst peple culdn’t affrd phtgraphs, and s all they had t remember distant lved nes, r earlier times f their lives, was memry. Children culd nt knw what their parents had lked like as yung peple, grandparents far away might never learn what their grandchildren lked like. Eastman Kdak allwed memry t mve frm the uncertainty f recllectin, t the permanence f a phtgraph. But it wasn’t just peple whse features were savable; it was events, the precius times that families cherish. The Kdak mment, was humanity’s mment.
A. It shwed us the sht that killed President Kennedy, and his brther bleeding ut n a kitchen flr.
B. Gerge Eastman was nt nly interested in cmmercial prfits, but als in the imprvement f ther peple’s lives.
C. In an era f easy digital phtgraphy, when we can take a picture f anything at any time, we cannt imagine what life was like befre Gerge Eastman brught phtgraphy t peple.
D. Fr 20 years, its leaders have flishly spent dwn the patrimny(祖传的财物) f a century’s prsperity.
E. Befre Gerge Eastman brught phtgraphy t peple, painting was the nly way fr peple t keep a recrd f their ancestrs.
F. It is impssible t understand the 20th Century withut recgnizing the rle f the Eastman Kdak Cmpany.
