C Marian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beach's Bar Louie counter by herself,quietly reading her e-book as she waits for her salad.What is she reading?None of your business!Lunch is Bechtel's 高一年级英语试卷第2页（共8页） "me"time.And like more Americans,she's not alone A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America.More than half(53 percent) have breakfast alone and nearly half(46 percent)have lunch by themselves.Only at dinnertime are we eating together anymore,.74 percent,.according to statistics(统计数字)from the report. "I prefer to go out and be out.Alone,but together,you know?"Bechtel said,looking up from her book.Bechtel,who works in downtown West Palm Beach,has lunch with coworkers sometimes, but like many of us,too often works through lunch at her desk.A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder.She returns to work feeling energized."Today,I just wanted some time to myself,"she said. Just two seats over,Andrew Mazoleny,a local videographer,is finishing his lunch at the bar He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeeper with whom he's on a first--name basis if he wants to have a little interaction(交流)."I reflect(反思)on how my day's gone and think about the rest of the week,"he said."It's a chance for self-reflection.You return to work recharged and with a plan." That freedom to choose is one reason more people like to eat alone.There was a time when people may have felt awkward about asking for a table for one,but those days are over.Now,we have our smartphones to keep us company at the table."It doesn't feel as alone as it may have before all the advances in technology,"said Laurie Demeritt,whose company provided the statistics for the report. 8.What are the statistics in paragraph 2 about?

D Around 40 million tons of electronic waste,known as e-waste,is produced every year.This includes electrical or electronic equipment that has been discarded.But where does it all go?In the US alone,100 million mobile phones,41 million computers and over 20 million televisions are thrown into landfills(垃圾填埋场)in a year.Even for standard waste this is a big headache,because any materials that are buried in the ground can't be easily recovered and recycled.Recycling 高一年级英语试卷第3页（共8页） electronics can save energy and means that less of Earth's natural resources need to be mined. Failing to recycle e-waste is extremely damaging the environment due to the nature of the materials used in modern devices.While heavy metals and chemicals improve a device's safety and user experience,they become poisonous if they're not dealt with properly.Your old phones, Gameboys,kettles,microwaves and more can end up in landfills,leaking their harmful contents into the soil,water and air.Not only does this kill wildlife and destroy ecosystems,but the accumulation (of poison can impact human health too.As heavy metals and chemicals flow into lakes and rivers,drinking water becomes polluted.These poisons spread through the soil,impacting the health of crops and animals that people also rely on. In some western countries,e-waste isn't hidden out of sight in landfills but is burnt in giant, open junkyards.They even ship waste electronics to other countries to deal with,and this often ends up in dumps across Africa and Asia.Workers in these places are exposed to polluted lands and chemical gas. It is urgent that we should reduce the damaging and unsustainable side of e-waste production. Rare earth metals,some plastics and chemicals can be fed into the next generation of electronics The steps to proper recycling of e-waste are extensive and need large investment,but more and more countries around the world are turning to e-waste recycling. 12.What does the underlined word"discarded"in Paragraph 1 mean?
