is requiring要求，现在进行时；is required被要求，一般现在时的被动语态；was required被要求，一般过去时的被动语态；required要求，一般过去时；根据句意理解可知，句子主语waste与谓语动词require之间是被动关系，所以应该用被动语态；句中的时间是now，所以应该用一般现在时的被动语态，故选B。

Answer the questions, using information from the video.1. Emma2. Natalie3. Jessica4. Natalie5. Emma6. ChrisVideo ScriptInterviewer: Do you live right in the city or are you in a suburb?Jessica: I used to live in the suburbs with my parents until I was seventeen years old. And then, as I thought I have to grow up, I moved into the city, and I lived in the center.Interviewer: So which do you prefer?Jessica: That is difficult because both sites have their, like, advantages. In the city you are around your friends, and it is much easier to, yeah, to go out and to meet people, and you are at home in ten minutes because you can walk. And if you live in the suburbs, it is more quiet and yeah, you are more in the countryside, and more in the nature with the, yeah with your family, so it is like …I wouldn’t say one is better than the other one. It has … both sites is very good, so I like both. Chris: I think most people in the city are there because of work, a lot of the times, so a lot of people are rushing, and they have got deadlines and appointments to meet. So they can come across as a bit more rude than perhaps people in the suburbs who have less pressures on them, it seems to me. But I think once you get talking to people in the city, when they have got time, they are just as nice as anyone else.Interviewer: Tell me where you live.Emma: I live in the city. Where I live is kind of quiet, but it depends on the time of the day, and sometimes there is like a little restaurant in the area, and people tend to go there. So sometimes you hear when people are coming out when it is really late, but it is not noisy all the time. It is OK; It is a medium kind of sound there. There is lots of children there ---families, a lot of families.Different cultures, hard-working people. It is a very nice community. It is very clean, which is kind of different from the city because the city is kind of messy, but they maintain it, and they keep it very nice. So lots of stores, shopping, a little family theater area where kids can go watch shows with their family. So it is a very nice area … I enjoy living in the city because I get, it is quick access to, like, food or, you know, you don’t have to travel in a car or go down an hour or two to the mall. I mean, you can just walk up to any store and get an outfit and you are gone. Like, it doesn’t take a lot of work to go somewhere.Natalie: I live in the city, and I really enjoy living in the city because it is very busy, and there is always something to do. It gets a bit too busy sometimes, and so you …it is nice to take vacations. But I like living in the city because there is always bars to go to, there is restaurants, there is plenty to do. The commute to work is very short --- it only takes me about twenty minutes to get to work by public transportation. And, yeah, I really like it, because there is lots of people with similar interests and very interesting people to speak to all the time.ListeningA. Sound Bites少T eaching SuggestionsB.

Listening ComprehensionRead the questions and listen to part 1 of the story about Nicholas Green and his family. T ake notes on your notepad. Then summarize the first part of the story with your partner.Where were the Greens from? They were from California in the United States.What were they doing in Italy? They were on vacation.What happened to Nicholas? He was shot and died.What decision did his parents make? They decided to donate his organs to people who were sick.How did the Italian people react? They were very moved.ScriptM: Reg and Maggie Green were on vacation with their children on the island of Sicily in southern Italy. It was a long way from their home in California in the United States. They had just spent the day sightseeing and were driving on a highway back to their hotel. It was evening, and theirseven-year-old son, Nicholas, and four-year-old daughter, Eleanor, were fast sleep in the back seat.Suddenly, another car with two men pulled up beside them. The man on the passenger side had a gun, and he was screaming at them through the window. As Reg Green stepped on the accelerator and drove away quickly, he could hear gunshots. He drove as fast as he could to the nearest town. Maggie was relieved to see that the children were still sleeping. But when they stopped, they both realized that Nicholas had been shot, and they rushed him to a hospital. Sadly, after two days in the hospital, Nicholas died.One can only imagine the grief and sadness Reg and Maggie Green must have felt at that moment. But they made a decision that touched the lives of many people and the hearts of millions around the world. They decided to donate Nicholas’s organs to Italians who were very sick and needed them. By giving them Nicholas’s organs, Reg and Maggie felt that they could help others. Nicholas’s future had been taken away, so the Greens wanted to give a future to someone else.Their gift turned a senseless tragedy into a lesson in giving. Italians were very moved. They could not believe that visitors from another country --- who had suffered such a terrible loss --- could be so giving at such a terrible moment.少T eaching SuggestionsD. Read the questions and listen to Part 2; discuss your answers with a partner.1. People started to think differently about organ donation.The number of people who were willing to become organ donors increased by three to four hundred percent.2. Seven. One woman was able to see and the rest had their lives saved.3. They work to support organ donation.Script:M: Within days the Green family’s personal experience erupted into a worldwide story. In Italy, strangers walked up to them on the street, with tears in their eyes, to say thank you. People started naming streets, schools, and hospitals for Nicholas Green.When the Greens returned home, they received letters from thousands of people around the world. The letters told how the Green’s decision changed their attitudes about donating organs. In Italy, the number of people who were willing to become organ donors increased by three to four hundred percent --- they called it “The Nicholas Effect”.The Green family returned to Italy more than a dozen times after Nicholas’s death. And they met all of the people who received Nicholas’s organs --- seven people in all.A fifteen-year-old boy got Nicholas’s heart. During his illness, he had weighed only 27 kilograms and had spent half his life in hospitals. After the surgery, he was healthy and full of energy.One girl was two days from death --- the doctors have given up on her. But with one of Nicholas’s organs, she got better. She later got married, and she gave birth to two babies --- one a boy, whom he named Nicholas.A woman who had never seen her own child’s face now can see --- thanks to the corneas from Nicholas’s eyes.An eight-year-old boy was arriving at the hospital for his surgery to get one of Nicholas’s organs. He was asked to think about something nice. He said, “I’m thinking of Nicholas.”The Greens say that the love of life these people have shown --- and the looks on their families’faces --- is a wonderful reward. They often talk about how comforting it has been to know that people who would have died by now are leading normal lives, and that another who would have been blind can now see.Maggie and Reg Green have become very busy doing work to support organ donation. While it does not take away the pain of Nicholas’s senseless death, it helps the Greens to believe that something good has come out of the tragedy.少T eaching suggestionsSpeakingPolitely Ask Someone Not to Do SomethingA.
