leaves are literally chewed into a rich compost which is used to strengthen the garden where a

thread-like fungus is cultivated．This species of fungus is their only source of food．

Passage 2

Psychology is the study of the mind and mental activities．For example，psychologists are

interested in why some things make you sad，but others make you happy. They want to know why

some people are shy，but others are quite talkative．They also want to know why people do the

things that they do．They test intelligence.

Psychologists deal with the minds and behavior of people．Your mind consists of all your

feelings，thoughts，and ideas．It is the results of the part of the brain called the cerebrum．Your

behavior is the way you act or conduct yourself. Examples of behavior include shouting，crying，

laughing，and sleeping．

Several people have been instrumental in the field of psychology．Wilhelm Wudt set up the first

psychological laboratory in Leipzig，Germany, in1879．Ivan Pavlov，a Russian，is noted for his

experiments with dogs in which he studied their relaxes and reactions．Around 1900，Sigmund

Freud stated his theory that people try to repress any memories or thoughts that they believed were

not good,

Passage 3

What do you do with your empty cans and bottles? There are two choices，throwing them away or

recycling．Throwing away a metal beverage container wastes as much energy as filling a can with

gasoline and pouring half out． Besides wasting energy，throwing away bottles a11d cans causes

pollution，increases the volume of solid wastes，and uses up natural resources. To control these

problems，only nine states have adopted bottle laws．The United States governrnent should require

every state to have a bottle law or constitute a national bottle law·

To understand how a bottle law can help，you must know how it works. When consumers buy

canned or bottled beverages at the store，they pay deposits．This deposit can range from twenty to

fifty cents per bottle or can．In order to get this deposit back, the bottles and cans must be returned

to supermarkets after they are emptied．The supermarkets then return the bottles and cans to their

manufacturers for either reuse or recycling． 。’

Bottle laws are currently effective in Oregon，Vermont，Maine，Michigan，Iowa，Connecticut，

Delaware, Massachusetts,and New York．These laws work largely because the general public

supports them．A recent poll(民意测验) of Americans revealed that 73 percent support bottle

laws。This support undoubtedly results from people’s concern about pollution and our planet

slimited resources．
