Once, Einstein gave a lecture in a university. After his speech, the audience started asking questions.
A girl asked, “Do you think you’re 26 giant of science?”
Einstein said 27 a smile, “A giant is a person who is tall in height. You see I’m so small, how can I be a giant? Maybe I see a bit farther, only 28 I stand higher!”
Then a boy asked, “You mentioned you stand higher than 29 . It reminds me that you had a talk with a lady on the top of the Alps. I don’t want to ask 30 you talked, but I want to know whether you realized you have been a top in the history of science when you stood on the top.”
Looking at the boy 31 , Einstein replied, “Well, 32 height cannot become a top. And there is no top that no one can get to, so we don’t want to be a top, but we want to be a person to climb the top!”
Then he took up a piece of chalk and 33 on the blackboard, “Standing on the top, you are not tall, but even smaller!”
Then he said, “Though I stand tall, in the eyes of the world I’m still small! Finally, I can tell you a sentence, which was the last one I told the lady on the top of the Alps, ‘Any top can 34 , for there is no giant in the world but the one 35 stands higher!’”
A storm of app lause sounded. The lady who listened to Einstein’s instruction on the Alps that year was no other than Madam Curie!

( A )
Some time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it repaired, as there are a lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn’t even look at my chair.
The second shop, though a little more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth. I realized that my approach must be wrong so I decided to try another way. I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair? Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK. I’ll give you twenty pounds for it,” he said. “It’s got a slightly broken leg,” I added. “Yes, I saw that. It’s nothing,” the shopkeeper replied.
Everything was going according to the plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell after the repair is done.” “I’ll buy it,” I said. “What do you mean? You’ve just sold it to me,” the man asked in surprise. “Yes, I know. But I’ve changed my mind. I am sorry. I’ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it.” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. He shouted, “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “You’re right,” I said, “And what would you have said if I had walked in and asked you to repair my chair?” “I wouldn’t have agreed to do it. We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll repair this for you. Five pounds will be the cost,” the man answered. He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.

Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost mention recycling. Recycling in the homes is very important. However, having to recycle often means we already have more products than we need. We are just dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way, but it would be much better if we did not bring so many goods home.
The total amount of packaging（外包装） has increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It is 1/3 of a home’s waste in the UK. In many supermarkets, food products are packaged tw ice with plastic and paper. Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of land because of this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Besides, the plastic from the package puts some creatures in danger, especially birds and fish.
Recycling helps, but the recycling itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such waste in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, few of them have the idea that this cannot continue. For example, supermarkets should encourage customers to reuse their plastic bags.
But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have been used to the idea that packaging means excellence while anything unpackaged is of poor condition. This is especially true of food. But this idea has spread to other products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.
There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize just how many unnecessary goods are collected. We need to face the waste of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.

D. It may make the green house effect worse.
53. According to the passage, which of the following is true about recycling?
A. It leads to a waste of land.
B. It means burning packaging for energy.
C. It is the only solution to the greenhouse effect.
D. It helps reduce the harm caused by too much packaging.
