The Garbage（垃圾）Project started at the University of Arizona in 1973.Since then，the students and teachers in it have studied the modern garbage in different cities.
To study the garbage，the students had to travel to landfills（填埋場），the places where cities bury their garbage.While the students were studying the garbage they wore special clothes.Students were very careful when they opened bags of garbage.
One important thing the students have learned from studying the garbage is that the garbage in landfills disappears very slowly.That was surprising to both the students and many scientists who had thought that about 70% of the garbage in landfills would disappear quickly.Even in cities where it rains a lot，the students found newspapers from 1948，40-year-old hot dogs，and vegetables from 1970.And the students also found many more empty bottles of cola than they expected.
How to dispose of our garbage well depends on what kind of garbage it is：regular（普通的） garbage，dangerous materials，or recyclable materials，such as newspapers and glass bottles.Regular garbage goes to regular landfills.Dangerous materials are harmful to people's health and the environment.They shouldn't go into regular landfills.Homes are full of dangerous waste.One kind of the dangerous waste in homes is batteries.When batteries are buried directly in a landfill，they often break open.The poison inside them moves through rain water to the bottom of the landfill.Then it can pollute the natural water in the ground.
Another dangerous waste from homes is motor oil.When people pour old motor oil on the ground or throw it in the garbage，it pollutes the environment.
Our garbage problem is not new，but as the world's population continues to grow，it will become a bigger and bigger problem.

1．According to a recent report，about 15% of the people in the UK are members of gyms.But are they more likely to be fit？
A study found that gym members were 14 times more active than people who didn't belong to any health club.Gym members did six hours more exercise a week，and this activity did make them fitter than non- gym members.They also spent less time sitting down every day than non- gym members.The results were the same for men and women.
The study included 405 people between the ages of 30 and 64，and the main characteristics of those who were gym members were the same as those who were not. "But gym members did more training than non-gym members，" said the lead author，Elizabeth Schroeder of the University of Illinois.While it might seem clear that gym members exercise more and are healthier than non-gym members，Schroeder says this has not been directly shown before.However，the study is only designed to show a tie between gym membership and more exercise.It may be that active people like to join gyms.In the study，people who exercised as much as gym members were also in good health.
You can get the same benefits wherever you exercise.This study shows a gym membership can make you do more exercise，but other research shows that exercising outside has other help.Outdoor activity can make you feel happy about life，especially if you run through a forest.
Outdoor exercise is also more interesting than going to the gym.The first five minutes of outdoor exercise is especially helpful in making people feel good.But Schroeder says that a gym may also encourage greater exercise because it can be social and fun.
（1）What did the new study find out？
A．British people are crazy about the gym.
B．Gym exercise is better than outdoor exercise.
C．Gym membership can make us healthier.
D．Gym is necessary for our daily life.
（2）In the study，researchers studied.
A．people between aged 30 and 64
B．the same number of men and women
C．405 gym members
D．people with the same characteristics
（3）The study is aimed to build a tie between and .
A．a(chǎn)ctive people；more gym exercise
B．more exercise；health
C．gym membership；more exercise
D．happiness；more exercise
（4）Which statement will Elizabeth Schroeder agree with？
A．Women should do more gym exercise.
B．We should be careful with outdoor training.
