According to Alvin Toffler, author of the best seller Future Shock, (32)America has become a throwaway society. (33)Cardboard milk containers and rockets are only two examples. Such products are created for short-term or one-time use. They are becoming more numerous and more important to modern living. Toffler thinks that man’s relationships with things will grow increasingly temporary.
As proof of this trend, Toffler cites such products as disposable diapers, (33)bibs, paper napkins and non-returnable bottles. Vegetables are encased in plastic sacks. They can be dropped into a pan of boiling water and thrown away after the meal. TV dinners are cooked in throwaway trays. They are even served in them.
All these things are quickly used up. Then they are ruthlessly eliminated. In Toffler’s view, the American home has become little more than a large processing plant.
(35)Toffler further believes that his countrymen are developing values to go with their throwaway products. (34)He says that easy disposability leads to shorter man-thing relationships. People were once linked with a few objects for a long time. Now they are linked with a series of objects for a brief period. So the relationship between them is not so long and it’s hard for people to have the deep feeling to something. Because after one time. they’ll be thrown away.
选项
A、Poor quality leads to the short-term use of products.
B、People do not like one-time use products.
C、Products tend to be disposable.
D、People refuse to use returnable objects.
答案
