You will hear an interview. The interviewer is talking to a businessperson Tom Szaky, who runs an environment-friendly company, Terracycle, which is noted for recycling the waste for green packaging.
For each question 23 -30, mark one letter (A, B or C) for the correct answer.
After you have listened once, replay the recording.
You have forty-five seconds to read through the questions.
[pause]
Now listen, and mark A, B or C.
Woman: Tom, how did you come up with this idea for TerraCycle?
Man:My friends and I were trying to grow better pot and it turned out worm poop did the trick. It was also inspiring in that it was using rubbish.
Woman: What are some of your favourite products or projects?
Man: I love the Target plastic bag project. And we make world’s first bag that is made entirely from recycled plastic bags. Over 40,000 people sent in bags through an ad we ran on the cover of Newsweek which doubled as an envelope and we requested people return it with their plastic bags. It was a win-win. A really fun product too. I really enjoy our TerraCycle juice pouch products using Capri Sun and Honest Tea packaging as well.
Woman: What is your favourite part of your job?
Man: Creation of big partnerships. Seeing your creations on the shelves of Target, Home Depot, etc. I was grocery shopping this weekend and picked up a Capri Sun and saw that my logo was on the side of the package. That gets me.
Woman: What have been consumer reactions? Business reactions? Has it been hard to get retailers to carry your products? Hard to get consumers to buy your products?
Man: People are really into green products right now. So they are much more receptive. The education piece is critical. A lot of sponsors are really into that piece as well. Once people are educated they will do a huge amount of other things.
Woman: Do you see Kraft or other partners making changes to their packaging based on your work together?
Man: We can take it all. We work with world’s biggest retailers and collect crazy volumes. We will collect fifty million drink pouches this year. That is not enough. We don’t see the issue of not being able to use the waste. They should use more reusable stuff. But people aren’t great at recycling. Across the country we see low recycling rates. It is better to have lighter packaging that is not recyclable. At the end of the day the argument environmentally is to package juice in a pouch that’s lighter than a bottle.
Woman: Has Terracycle been profitable?
Man: TerraCycle had revenues of seventy thousand dollars, up to half million dollars in 2005, one and a half million in 2006, three point three million in 2007 and projected sales of seven point five million dollars in 2008. Most of our money is invested in growth. It is definitely profitable. We are backed by a venture fund.
Woman: Discuss some of your partner relationships — how did they come about, any concerns on your side about being used to help greenwash a large company?
Man: They are absolutely trying to greenwash. Like when you claim something is 96% natural, when it’s just water, or claiming that packaging is recyclable, which all of it is. That is greenwashing. Or BP ads, about kids swimming near oil rigs with dolphins. But the Kraft thing is a serious step. If that is perceived as greenwashing, then everything is. What these companies are doing should be encouraged.
Woman : Any other interesting stories like the pot growing one?
Man: We packaged the worm poop with used soda bottles, which crystallised the " made and packaged with waste" idea. We used soda bottles because we had no money. This was the central lever behind one of our biggest innovations. We realized that this was actually the best way to do it. I was not a big environmentalist, I just wanted to use waste as an economic driver.
Woman: Are there other companies in this field I should be aware of?
Man: We are the leaders. No one has quite the scale we do.
Woman: OK, thank you for your excellent talk.
选项
A、To see more of their products used by people.
B、To do more shopping in the stores with their logo.
C、To create more packaging grocery.
答案
A
解析
听力原文中男士提到:Creation of big partnerships.即:与更多的大公司合作。根据原文内容可知,选项A“发现自己公司更多的产品为人们所使用”符合题干的要求。句中提示信息“与更多的大公司合作”意味着将有更多的人使用Tom公司的产品,据此,本题应选选项A。
