37、y， he doesnt see rubbish； he sees a pencil case. Sweet wrappers (包装纸）? A beautiful kite。 But these are not the imaginings of a dreamer。 For the 28year-old CEO of Trenton, New Jerseybased TerraCycle, theyre a business model。The fasttalking Szaky is leading the new industry of upcycling。 Instead of re

38、cycling (shredding or breaking down materials and enabling them to be reproduced as other products)， TerraCycle takes packaging headed for landfills (垃圾填埋） and reuses it more or less whole. TerraCycle's 85 employees make nearly 200 products， sold at shops such as Petco， Kmart, Whole Foods Market

39、, and Target.Szaky's 7。4 million company, now also moving ahead in Mexico, Canada, the United Kingdom and Brazil is a far cry from the business he founded with classmate Jon Beyer in as a freshman at Princeton University。 The two entered a business competition with a plan to sell an organic plan

40、t fertilizer （) made from worm waste. They lost the competition but started the business anyway。With their goal to make products entirely out of rubbish suddenly clear, Szaky knew the time was right to drop out of Princeton。TerraCycles first product used dininghall waste to feed the worms and thrown

41、away bottles to package the fertilizer. The result: a cheap, green breakthrough. Word spread， and in , 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 c

42、ontainer。 As Szaky points out: “The biggest problem with most green， fairtrade， 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。”64Who is

43、Tom Szaky？A A student at Princeton University.B The manager of a food company。C An employee of Home Depot.D CEO of TerraCycle。65What do we know about the new industry of upcycling?A It puts waste materials directly into new use.B It promotes completely natural foods.C It buries waste materials in la

45、g according to Szaky？A The cost is kept low。B The product is free.C The product has a longer life.D More materials are available.Text 4A pure virus (病毒） could be kept in a bottle, just like hundreds of other chemicals。 Yet, when a virus is placed on a living thing, it comes to life。 As long as it is

46、 on a living material， it grows。A difficult question still remains - what is a virus？ Is it living or chemical? Men of science had always thought life and not-life to be as different as black and white。 With the discovery of the virus， they became aware of a grey area that was neither black nor whit

47、e.Until the 1930s， it was accepted that there was also a great difference in size between the largest chemical molecules （分子） and the smallest living things. As new and much finer filters (过滤器） were invented， men were able to measure viruses. The first virus to be measured was found to be about 100

48、millimicrons (毫微米） across。The largest known chemical molecule measures only 22 millimicrons。 The smallest living thing measures almost seven times that size or 150 millimicrons。 When viruses were measured, they were found to range in size from 16 millimicrons to 300 millimicrons。 Most were found to

49、be larger than the largest chemical molecules and smaller than the smallest living things.The answer to the puzzle - what is a virus？ - must be that it is both living and not living。 In a living cell， it is a live thing. In a bottle, it is nothing more than a chemical. We now realize that the virus

50、is actually a link between life and notlife。68What is this text mainly about？A How viruses should be understood。B The effect viruses have on living things.C How filters are used in studying viruses.D The researches scientists do with viruses.60What makes a virus come to life？A A large chemical molec
