The E.U.’s tough new rules on recycling could mean a rocky road ahead for Europe’s carmakers If it hadn’t been for Henry Ford’s drive to create a mass market for cars, America wouldn’t have a middle class today Undoubtedly, the car was the most important engine of economic growth in the 20th century However, Ford’s American Dream is fast becoming Europe’s environmental nightmare because cars that are cast aside as useless cannot be disposed of entirely
Trang 4While a car’s metal components, which account for about 75% of its weight, can be reused, the remainder – a mix
of plastic, rubber, fluids and paint that often contains toxic substances like mercury, cadmium and lead – is shredded into “fluff” and buried under garbage dumps The environmental group Friends of the Earth says that this “fluff” accounts for around a tenth of the hazardous waste in Europe And with 9 million cars discarded every year, the amount of uncontaminated land left is decreasing fast According to environmentalists, although carmakers now have a variety of new, more easily recyclable materials to choose from, the pressures to work quickly and keep costs low often exceed their ecological concerns What is needed is some incentive to motivate car designers to think about the
environmental aspect of their work
Recently, the European Parliament provided just such an incentive when it approved a directive that transfers responsibility for the environmental effect of a vehicle over its entire life cycle – from design to disposal – directly onto the manufacturers’ shoulders Some requirements, such as a ban on the use of toxic heavy metals, and officially required recycling rates of 80% and 85% for cars that will go on the market after 2006 and 2015, are far reaching but feasible because with some effort, new cars can be adapted to the new regulations But the new law will also apply
retroactively and force carmakers to pay the full price for the disposal of every auto they ever produced “The
prospect of recycling cars that weren’t built to be recycled is unbearable from a financial point of view,” says Camille Blum, secretary-general of the Association of European Car Manufacturers (ACEA) ACEA believes that the new
measures announced by the European parliament will cost around $23 billion, based on a recycling cost of around
$155 a car and an estimated 150 million cars on the EU’s roads
A boosted the growth of the mass market for car B included Henry Ford
C played an active role the in 20th century economic growth D owes its origin to the mass market for car
A the diversity of recyclable materials B the encouragement from the authority
C the wide availability of recyclable materials D the amount of uncontaminated land left
A within the ability of carmakers B considered to be unsuitable for the present situation
C already applied by most carmakers D easy for carmakers to comply with
A recyclable materials B pressures C environmentalists D carmakers
A carmakers in Europe have always taken care to use only recyclable materials
B 75 % of a car’s weight turns into “fluff” when it is disposed of
C 25 % of a car’s weight consists of materials that cannot be recycled
D most European carmakers already have the incentive to consider ecology
A Toxic waste from disposed cars is a cause of land pollution in Europe
B The car industry helped in the development of the middle class in America
C Ecological concerns will increase car-manufacturing costs
D European carmakers have been held responsible for the disposal of cars
A Carmakers will only be partly responsible for the recycling of disposal of cars
B The recycling of new cars will present more difficulties far carmakers in the future
C ACEA says that recycling about 150 million European cars will cost over $20 billion
D Car manufacturers were always obliged to use non-toxic materials for car parts
A why car manufacturers insist on using toxic materials for making cars
B the different materials used in the production of car components
C the new regulations brought to car manufacturing the sake of ecology
D how the car industry helped economic growth in America and Europe

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 71 to 80
TV presenters have always taken a lot of criticism Daytime television hosts who drip with insincerity make it look easy and we all think we can do better Presenting is one of the most sought-after jobs according to a recent survey Every year, television companies are flooded with letters from young hopefuls Unfortunately, their chances of getting
on screen are slim To do so, it is often who you know, not what you know
But this doesn’t deter thousands from parting with their hard-earned cash to go on training courses in the hope that
this will give them an advantage I went along to a one-day presenters’ course held in a real television studio, with
proper chat show sofas, two cameras and an Autocue (a machine put next to a camera, displaying the words to be spoken) It even had talkback, a sort of hearing aid the presenter wears to receive instructions, and there were even light and sound technicians
Ten of us had turned up Ambitions ranged from Paul’s, to read The News, to Kate’s, to host a game show Tina
was “just doing it for a laugh” Hayley was under no illusions about why she wanted to go on TV, “I’m really attracted
to the glamour of the job I think if people are honest, that’s why they want to do it I want to be really famous.” Others made virtuous noises about wanting to meet interesting people or make high quality programmes but, judging by the looks on everyone’s faces, Hayley had hit the nail on the head
The initial task we were given was to talk about ourselves to camera I volunteered to go first Well, what could be
so difficult? “Switch to camera one, stand by, Fiona, and three to go … two to go … good luck.” Our tutor’s hand came down with a professional flourish, the lights came up and I was on I stared deep into the camera lens for inspiration It didn’t come “Say something,” urged a voice in my talkback ear This was the producer in the control room “Erm, good afternoon, er, morning that is, ha ha, I forgot what time it was for a minute …” I gradually went silent
An hour later, when everybody had suffered a turn, we all felt a little bit better and our initial nerves had gone Next we learned how to read the Autocue The Autocue piece was relatively easy We had to write this ourselves, with topics ranging from how to ski to pig farming The hard bit was trying to make it look as if your eyes weren’t moving across the screen
After lunch, we all had a bash at an Office Broadcast This was harder because there was no Autocue to refer to
We were given our scripts just five minutes before we went on, so we had to do it with very little preparation – a good
lesson in thinking on your feet I was quite staggered at how good everyone else was So was this easier than “real”
presenting or were they just superstars?
“Basic presenting is easy, once you’ve got the hand of it,” said our tutor It just requires a bit of confidence and a sense of humour The difficult part is getting your foot in the door I’m not going to pretend that doing the course will get you a job All we are doing is giving you a starting point.”
