waste a worldwide health crisisbecause it is ruining the world's oceans, air and soil and （危机）endangering the health of all living things.

For years, governments have been telling people that living a zero-waste lifestyle is the way to go. One example of this is what's often called the three R's: reduce, reuse recycle. In that case, less money is spent on waste management. Such positive effects on an economy（经济）as a result of applying the basic rules of reduce, reuse and recycle-is known as a circular economy.

………线…………○………… Now some stores are helping people do that. Sometimes, grocery stores produce waste when they throw away food including fruit and vegetables that don't look good any more.In other cases, it's packaged food that is nearing the \not considered safe to eat. To solve this problem, business people are opening smaller zero-waste stores. Instead of selling food in packages, these stores offer it in open containers. Customers bring their own bags or clean containers to the store. There, they fill their bags or containers with everything from nuts and rice to oil and sauce. They pay for only the amount of each product that they need. Zero-waste stores often sell fruit and vegetables as well. When these goods start to look old, they're sold at a discount or donated to a charity Inspired by these smaller zero-waste stores, some large supermarkets are taking similar steps to reduce the amount of waste that they produce.

By following a circular system, more products than ever are being produced using recycled materials. For example, used tires（轮胎）can be recovered to pave roads, while plastic is reused to make new plastic products. Environmentally-friendly decisions like these help to protect and save natural resources, reduce pollution, save landfill space and even create new job opportunities. Recycling can truly turn garbage into gold. 27．What is the main purpose of the first paragraph？ ______ A．To explain the experts' opinion. B．To discuss the reason of the problem.

What Is Success The Oxford English Dictionary defines the word success as （定义）……○ __○_…__…_…___……__…：…号…订考_订_…___……___……___……：级…○班_○…___…_…__…_…___……：名…装姓装_…__…_…___……___……_:校…○学○……………………外内……………………○○……………………\; the fact of becoming rich or famous or of getting a high social position\. Some rankings（排行榜） put Albert Einstein, Michael Jackson, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs as among the most successful people in the world. What Michael Jackson did for music is the same as what Albert Einstein did for physics. All of them do have greatly influenced the industries or media to which they belonged. J.K.Rowling, the author of the famous Harry Potter novels. She created a magical world that sold more than 500 million books and became hit movies. With an estimated（估算的） net worth of ﹩650 million in 2017, she certainly goes for the dictionary definition of success, but for her it didn't come easy. Having no job, raising her child alone, she was refused by publishers about a dozen times before one took a chance on her. This is what people love: the rags-to-riches success story.

In comparison with Rowling, the Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh practically suffered a lot in life to make ends meet. When he was alive, he only sold one painting even though he created more than 2,000 works of art. Van Gogh died when he was 37 years old and with very little money to his name. However, in 1990, his painting Portrait of Dr.Gachet sold for﹩82.5 million, which has a value today of around﹩137 million. So, the question is: Is Van Gogh considered successful even though he died poor?

Besides the dictionary definitions, different people have competing ideas of what success really means. Often times the most agree on the same characteristics that make a person a success. A financial magazine named Inc. points to the following qualities that make a person successful: Drive, Confidence, Patience, Honesty, Passion…

Success isn't always about getting a lot of money or fans, even though those are the stories we see most often. There are other people who we may not know well, but who have achieved success in their own right. One perfect example is mothers. They spent days,

months, and years teaching their children from birth to young adulthood. If a child grows up to be a kind, helpful, thoughtful and considerate adult, can the mother consider herself a success?

Perhaps success really is subjective, and it's up to people to define it for themselves. However, one thing seems to be in complete agreement when we search for the definition and can be best summed up by Steve Jobs, who said, \, most overnight successes took a long time.\
