单选题根据下面资料，回答题
A.Reduce, reuse, and recycle. Recycling has become a part of American life. It also is an important part of the waste-processing industry. In fact, many cities and towns in the United States now have recycling programs. To learn how such a program works, we will go to a recycling centre in the eastern state of Maryland.
B. The recycle bin in the home or office is often the last stop for empty containers. But for papers,plastics, card boards and cans, it is the beginning of a trip thousands of kilometres long. Yehenew Gedshew directs a recycling centre near Washington, DC. "As long as people throw their trash, we have a job." His recycling centre processes about 35 tons of material an hour. How does it process that much every hour? Yehenew Gedshew says the business is highly-organized. "First what happens is, dump trucks bring materials to our site. They dump it on the tipping floor. It goes to the first screen where the cardboard and the rest of the material is sorted out." The rest of the material goes on a belt that carries the glass and plastic to the last screening area (筛分区).The glass gets crushed and the plastic gets sorted and flattened.
C. Local recycling programs often require people to separate plastics, papers and glass. But Yehe-new Gedshew says sorters at his recycling centre do all that work. He says the centre ships most of its plastic to a processing centre in North Carolina, more than 500 kilometres to the south. At that centre, mountains of bottles become piles of plastic. They are ready to be melted and shaped into something new.
D. From the store to the recycling bin, and from there to just about anywhere you can imagine, plastic bottles spend a lot of time on the road. And so have we. We now go to Fayetteville, North Carolina. The city is home to the Clear Path Recycling centre. It is one of the largest plastic recycling centres in the United States.
E.The Clear Path Recycling Centre receives 8 to 10 trucks a day. That means more than 18,000 kilograms of plastic every day. The goods come to the centre in large piles or bales, like the ones at the recycling centre in Maryland.
F.Not far from the Clear Path Recycling is a huge storage area for the plastic objects. They enter the recycling centre to begin the process that will change them. "This is where the whole bottles enter the whole bottle wash. It´s just like your front-end loading washing machine at your house.It´ s just a lot longer, and a lot bigger."
G. Hot water washes paper labels off the drink bottles and removes dirt. The plastic is broken up into what the plastics recycling industry calls "PET flake (PET 碎片)." Another centre will buy the flake to melt and would into something else.
H. Plastic bottles spend their lives on the move. Machines would and fill them with our favourite drinks. When we are done drinking, machines destroy the bottles and make them into new bottles. Their journey never ends. But our trip has come to an end in Wilson, North Carolina.
I. In our program, we have described the trip made by plastic bottles from stores to recycling bins and then to recycling centres. The bottles are then broken down into small pieces, which are put into bags. Now, we will witness the rebirth of a plastic bottle.
J.Mark Rath is a supervisor at Peninsula Packaging. At his business, pieces of plastic become products like carry-out trays at food stores and restaurants. Peninsula Packaging melts and flattens plastic so it can be shaped and moulded. The process is complex. "We take the clear chips like this, and it goes into an oven, and it cooks for about 3 to 4 hours in that oven."
K. The plastic cooks at almost 200 ℃. When the melted plastic comes out of the oven, it is made into carry-out trays or other food packaging. "We unwind the plastic into a very long oven where we heat it again, and then we´ ll form it in a forming station. We´ ll follow it through and see what happens to it." What happens to the recycled plastic involves a vacuum, lots of pressure, and--believe it or not--more recycling.
L. Mark Rath says all of the plastics in this packaging centre become some kind of container in their next lives. "That´ ll end up being a fresh-cut-salad base. Not sure where it goes, but it´ ll end up some place with celery and carrots and tomatoes." It has taken several days, but a plastic bottle like the one we bought in Washington, DC has now become a salad tray in North Carolina.
M. Countless things affect the health of our environment. What we take from nature may not harm it as much as what we add to it. For years, many people have harmed the environment by throwing away plastic grocery bags. But in Washington, a "bag tax" has changed the behaviour of many people, and the way business affects the environment.
N. The Anacostia River flows through southeast Washington into the better-known Potomac River" The Anacostia is often called the city´s "other river." Tommy Wells is a member of the Washington,DC city council. He is worried about the health of river. He notes that some people have called the Anacostia, one of the 10 most polluted rivers in the country. Mr. Wells says he was tired of seeing so many plastic bags in or near the river. "I wanted something that got into people´s heads; not their pockets."
O. Stores in Washington now require people to pay five cents for each disposable plastic bag. The money goes into the "Anacostia River Clean Up Fund." People who bring their own bag do not pay anything extra. Has the "bag tax" helped? Bret Bolin is with the Anacostia Watershed Society, a group that is working to protect the river. "In just about 3 and a half months of the bag fee,people were already reporting that they were seeing a lot less bags in the river and at cleanup sites than in past years." Councilman Tommy Wells agrees that the bag tax worked. "There was a 60 percent reduction of the amount of bags that were pulled out of the river." The local government estimates that stores gave shoppers almost 300 million bags in 2009. Mr, Bolin says the bag tax caused the number to drop sharply. "And they were estimating something like 55 million being distributed in 2010, which is an 80 percent reduction, which is amazing."
Bag tax has played a key role in reducing bags in and near the Anacostia River.

A.减少、重新利用、回收。回收利用已经成为美国人生活的一部分了。它还是废弃物处理业的重要一环。事实上．美国的许多城镇现在都有回收利用项目了。为了弄清这样一个项目是如何运转的，我们将会到马里兰州东部的一个回收中心一探究竟。
B.在家里和办公室里，回收垃圾桶是空瓶子的最后一站，但是，纸、塑料、纸板和易拉罐才是千里之行的开头。耶纽．盖世纽负责华盛顿特区附近的一个回收中心。“只要人们产生垃圾，我们就要工作。”他的回收中心每小时大约处理35吨垃圾。它怎么能一小时处理那么多呢?耶纽·盖世纽回答说这是一个高度组织化的工作。“首先自卸车给我们运来废弃物，它们把废弃物卸在倾倒场地。从这儿它们会进入第一个筛选区，在那里硬纸板和其他的废弃物会被分出来。”其他的废弃物会被放到传送带上，这个传送带会把塑料和玻璃带到最后一个筛分处。玻璃会被压碎，塑料则被分出来压扁。
C.地方的回收项目一般要求人把塑料、纸盒、玻璃分开放。但是．耶纽·盖世纽说在他的回收中心筛分机会包揽这一切活。他说回收中心会把塑料用船运到离南方五百千米以外的北卡罗来纳的处理中心。在那里，堆成山的瓶子会变成成堆的塑料．等着被融化再塑成新的东西。
D.从商店到垃圾桶，从这儿到任何你能想到的任何地方，塑料瓶大部分时间都在旅行。我们也是，我们现在要去的是被卡罗莱纳州的菲耶特维尔。这个城市是清洁之路回收中心的大本营，它是美国最大的塑料回收中心。
E.清洁之路回收中心一天会收到8到10个大卡车的货物。这就意味着每天有l8000多公斤塑料。这些货物是成捆、成堆地运来的，就像在马里兰州回收中心的塑料一样。
F.离清洁之路不远处有一个巨大的放置塑料物品的存储区。它们进入回收中心开始改变自身的过程。“就是在这里，所有的瓶子进入洗瓶子的地方。它就像你家里的滚筒洗衣机，只是更长、更大。”
G.热水洗去饮料瓶的商标和污垢。瓶子被切割成回收行业称之为PET碎片的东西．另一个回收中心会买去这些碎片，再将它们融化，制成其他新的东西。
H.塑料瓶子的一生都在路上跑、、机器给他们加工塑形，再在它们体内装入我们最爱喝的饮料。当我们喝完了，机器再压碎它们，把它们制造成新的瓶子．它们的旅行没有终点。但是我们的旅行到了北卡罗琳娜的威尔逊就结束了。
I.在我们的节目里，我们介绍了塑料瓶从商店到回收垃圾桶以及之后到回收中心的过程。之后这些瓶子被弄成碎片，装在包里。现在我们要见证塑料瓶的重生。
J.马克·理斯是半岛包装的管理人。在他的企业里，塑料碎片变成食品店和餐馆携带式托盘一类的产品。半岛包装会融化塑料并把它压平，这样就可以进行塑造了。这个过程非常复杂。“我们把这样的干净小片放进一个炉子里．在那里烧三到四个小时。”
K.塑料被200摄氏度的高温烧着，当融化的塑料从炉子里流出来就被制成便携式托盘和其他食品包装。“我们再一个长炉子里烧化它们，再重新加热，之后我们会在成型站给它们塑形。我们会一路跟着它们，看看它们发生了什么。”这包括真空，巨大的压力——相信与否——更多的回收。
L.马克·理斯说在这个包装中心的所有塑料在它们的来生里都变成某种容器。“那个会变成现切沙拉的底盘。不确定它去哪里，但是它最终会在某个地方跟芹菜、胡萝卜和番茄打交道”这得要好几天时间，但是我们在华盛顿特区买的像这样的一个瓶子，现在变成了北卡罗莱纳的一个沙拉托盘。”
M.数不清的事情都会影响我们的环境的健康程度。我们从自然索取造成的伤害还不及我们朝它扔垃圾造成的。多年来，很多人扔的塑料方便袋破坏了环境。但是在华盛顿，“袋子税”改变了许多人的行为，以及经济对环境的影响方式。
N.安娜考斯锑亚河流经华盛顿的西南部注入更出名的波托马克河。安娜考斯锑亚河常常被称为这个城市的“另一条河”。托米·威尔斯是华盛顿特区市议会的议员。他很担心河的水质。他注意到一些人把安娜考斯锑亚河称为这个国家十条污染最严重的河流之一。威尔斯先生说他已见够了河里和河边的无数塑料袋。“我希望人们的脑袋里能装点东西，而不只是他们的口袋。”
O.华盛顿的商店现在要求人们为每个一次性塑料袋支付五美分，这些钱会变成“安娜考斯锑亚河清理基金”。自己带袋子的人则不要额外付钱。“袋子税”起到作用_『吗?布莱特·博林是安娜考斯锑亚河流域协会的，这是一个致力于保护这条河的组织：“在试行袋子税仅仅约三个半月，人们就说他们在河里和清理站看到的袋子比过去几年少很多。”市议员托米·威尔斯同意袋子税起作用的观点。“我们从河里捞出来的袋子减少了60％”。当地政府估算出在2009年商店给顾客的袋子几乎是3亿个。博林说袋子税致使这个数字急剧下降。“他们估算2010年分发的袋子约是5500万个，这下降了80％，这真令人惊叹”。
