Part one: (15pts)

 Read the text carefully then answer the questions below:
The recovery and reuse of materials from spent products called recycling is an ancient practice with
many modern applications. In recent years recycling has become a major part of environmental policy,
largely owing to the increased costs of solid- and hazardous-waste disposal, the scarcity of natural resources,
and the growing concern over polluted land, water, and air.
There are two types of recycling operations: internal and external. In internal recycling, an industry
reclaims materials that are a waste product of a manufacturing process and reuses them within the same
process. External recycling is the reclaiming of materials from a product that has been worn out or rendered
obsolete. An example of external recycling is the collection of old newspapers and magazines for the
manufacture of newsprint or other paper products.
Successful recycling programs depend on several factors. There must be a general awareness of the
problems caused by solid-waste disposal and an effective, inexpensive method for separating and collecting
the recyclable materials. It also must be economically feasible for industries to use and market recycled
materials.
