Drive thrugh any suburb in the U. S. tday, and it's hard t miss the recycling bins that have becme cmpanins t America's trash cans. Recycling has becme cmmn, as peple recgnize the need t care fr the envirnment. Yet mst peple's recycling awareness extends(延伸) nly as far as paper, bttle, and cans. Peple seldm find themselves facing the grwing prblem f e-waste.
E-waste rapidly increases as the techn-fashinable frequently upgrade t the mst advanced devices, and the majrity f them end up in landfills(填埋). Sme peple wh track such wastes say that users thrw away nearly 2 millin tns f TVs, VCRs, cmputers, cell phnes, and ther electrnics every year. Unless we can find a safe replacement(替代品), this
e-waste may get int the grund and pisn the water with dangerus txins(霉素), such as lead, mercury, and arsenic. Burning the waste als dangerusly cntaminates the air.
Hwever, e-waste ften cntains reusable silver, gld, and ther electrical materials. Recycling these materials reduces envirnmental prblems by reducing bth landfill waste and the need t lk fr such metals, which can destry ecsystems.
A grwing number f states have passed laws t ban(禁止) getting rid f e-waste. Still, less than a quarter f this waste will reach lawful recycling prgrams. Sme cmpanies advertising safe dispsal(处理) in fact merely ship the waste t sme develping cuntries, where it still ends up in landfills. These rganizatins prevent prgress by unsafely dispsing f waste in an ut-f-sight, ut-f-mind lcatin.
Hwever, the small but grwing number f cities and crpratins that d handle e-waste respnsibly represents prgress tward making the wrld a cleaner, better place fr us all.

A. E-waste cannt be put int trash fans in the U. S.
D. Many Americans nw have access t recycling bins.
C. Mst Americans have realized the dangers f e-waste.
D. Mst f America's trash cans are made f recycled material.
29. Which can best replace the underlined wrd “cntaminates” in Paragraph 2?
A . Pllutes. B. Heats. C. Attacks. D. Reduces.
30. What can we learn accrding t paragraph 4?
A Much e-waste is still nt prperly handled.
B. Sme develping cuntries welcme e-waste.
C. Laws have played a majr rle in getting rid f e-waste.
D. The e-waste buried in the landfills wn't destry ecsystem.
31. What's the authr's purpse in writing this text?

Scientists nce cnsidered sleep t be like a shadw (阴影) getting drawn ver a windw between the brain and the utside wrld: when the shadw is clsed, the brain stps reacting(反应) t utside stimuli(刺激).
A study published n 12 Octber in Nature Neurscience suggests that there might be perids during sleep when that shadw is partially pen.
A few years ag, Oudiette, a cgnitive(认知) scientist in France, began questining the definitin f sleep after she and her team cnducted an experiment in which they were able t cmmunicate with peple wh are aware that they are dreaming while they sleep therwise knwn as. clear dreamers. During these peple's dreams, experimenters were able t ask questins and get reactins thrugh eye and facial-muscle mvements.
Karen Knkly, wh was a c-authr n that study, says “it was a big pen questin in ur mind whether cmmunicatin wuld be pssible with nn-clear dreamers.”
S Oudiette cntinued with the wrk. In her latest study, she and her clleagues bserved 27 peple with narclepsy (嗜睡症)—characterized by daytime sleepiness and a high frequency f clear dreams——and 22 peple withut the cnditin. While they were sleeping, participants(参与者) were repeatedly asked t frwn r smile. All f them reacted crrectly t at least 70% f these tips. Overall respnse rates(整体反应率) were higher -fr all participants during REM (rapid eye mvement) sleep, when the deepest sleep ccurs but the brain remains quite active, than during ther sleep stages.
This study is part f a larger advance in the field f sleep research, says Mélanie Strauss, a cgnitive scientist in Brussels. Researchers are mving away frm mnitring sleep mainly with EEG(脑电图)and twards “fine grained”(细粒度 appraches that cmbine EEG with varius tasks and stimuli a strategy that culd help t thrw light. n specific diseases r cnditins, she says.
32. What did scientists think f sleep in the past?
A. It happens during different perids.
B. It is a shadw frmed within the brain.
C. It suggests a weakening in the brain's functins.
D. It means a stp in brain's respnse t the utside.
33. Hw did clear dreamers react t the experimenters?
A. By mving their faces and eyes. B. By repeating the questins.
C. By prviding crrect answers. D. By talking abut their dreams.
34. What can we learn abut the participants in the latest study?
A. They like sleeping in the daytime.
B. They remember their dreams clearly. ”
C. They d exactly as they're tld during sleep.
D. They shw higher reactin in the deepest sleep.
35. What des Mélanie Strauss mainly tell us in the last paragraph?
A. The limitatin f using EEG. B:A'cure fr specific diseases.
C. The prgress f the sleep research. D. A methd f discvering sleep.
