单选题Disposing (处理) of waste has been a problem since humans started producing it. As more and more people choose to live close together in cities, the waste-disposal problem becomes increasingly difficult. During the eighteenth century, it was usual for several neighboring towns to get together to select a faraway spot as a dump site. Residents or trash haulers (垃圾托运经营者) would transport household rubbish, rotted wood, and old possessions to the site. Periodically (定期的) some of the trash was burned and the rest was buried. The unpleasant sights and smells caused no problem because nobody lived close by. Factories, mills, and other industrial sites also had waste to be disposed of. Those located on rivers often just dumped the unwanted remains into the water. Others built huge burners with chimneys to deal with the problem. Several facts make these choices unacceptable to modern society. The first problem is space. Dumps, which are now called landfills, are most needed in heavily populated areas. Such areas rarely have empty land suitable for this purpose. Property is either too expensive or too close to residential (住宅区的) neighborhoods. Long distance trash hauling has been a common practice, but once farm areas are refusing to accept rubbish from elsewhere, cheap land within trucking distance of major city areas is almost nonexistent. Awareness (意识) of pollution dangers has resulted in more strict rules of waste disposal. Pollution of rivers, ground water, land and air is a price people can no longer pay to get rid of waste. The amount of waste, however, continues to grow. Recycling efforts have become commonplace, and many towns require their people to take part. Even the most efficient recycling programs, however, can hope to deal with only about 50 percent of a city's reusable waste.

In the traditional (传统的) marriage, the
man worked at a job to earn money for the family. Most men worked in an office,
a factory, or some other places away from the home. Since the man earned the
money, he paid the bills (账). The money was used for food, clothes, the house,
and other family needs. The man made most of the decisions. He was the boss. In
the traditional marriage, the woman seldom worked away from the house. She
stayed at home to care for the children and her husband. She cooked meals,
cleaned the house, washed the clothes, and did other housework. Her job at home
was very important. In recent years, many couples (夫妇) continue
to have a traditional relationship of the kind. The man has a job and earns the
money for the family. The woman stays at home and cares for the children and the
house. Many Americans are happy with the kind of marriage. But some other
Americans have a different impression of marriage and family responsibilities
(责任). There are two important differences in male (男性) and female (女性) roles
(角色) now. One is that both men and women have many more choices. They may choose
to marry or to stay single. They may choose to work or stay at home. Both men
and women may choose roles that are comfortable for them. A
second difference in male and female roles is that within marriage many
decisions and responsibilities are shared. The husband and wife may choose to
have children, or they may not. If they have children, the man take care of them
some of the time, all of the time or not at all. The woman may want to stay at
home and take care of the children. Or she may want to go to work. Men and women
now decide these things together in a marriage. Many married people now share
these decisions and the responsibilities of their
families.

More than 6,000 children were expelled
(开除) from US school last year for bringing guns and bombs to school, the US
Department of Education said on May 8. The department gave a
report to the expulsions (开除) as saying handguns accounted for 58 percent of the
6,093 expulsions in 1996~1997, against 7 percent for rifles (步枪) or shotguns and
35 percent for other types of firearms. "The report is a clear
sign that out nation's public schools are cracking down (严惩) on students who
bring guns to school," Education Secretary Richard Riley said in a statement.
"We need to be tough-minded about keeping guns out of our schools and do
everything to keep our children safe." In March 1997, an
11-year-old boy and 13-year-old boy using handguns and rifles shot dead four
children and a teacher at a school in Jonesboro, Arkansas. In October, two were
killed and seven wounded in a shooting at a Mississippi school. Two months
later, a 14-year-old boy killed three high school students and wounded five in
Dasucah, Kentucky. Most of the expulsions, 56 percent, were from
high school, which have students from about age 13.34 percent were from junior
high schools and 9 percent were from elementary schools, the report
said.
