Read the texts from a magazine article in which five persons talked about their attitude to helping, the people in developing countries. For question 61 to 65, match the name of each person (61 to 65) to one of the statements given below, which is the summary of his or her speech. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
Ann Scott:
People who leave litter behind them are anti-social. They spoil the beauty of the countryside and create all sorts of inconveniences, and even danger for other people. Broken bottles and rusty cans cause serious injuries especially to children. Old magazines and empty packages help to start fire when fools throw away matches and cigarette butts. Why can’t people be more careful? Dropping litter is a disgusting habit. If you don’t do it in your oval house to keep it clean and tidy, why should you do it in public places to make them dirty and look ugly? I never drop litter and I don’t allow my children to. Unfortunately, most parents these days don’t bring their children up properly. It’s a mother’s duty to teach her children how to behavior and to set a good examples herself.
Linda Mitchell:
I belong to an anti-litter group. Recently we cleaned up a peach. We collected over 150 tons of garbage. We burned haft of it and we sold the rest to scrap dealers for $500. We spent that money on litter cans which we placed at regular intervals along the beach. Every local government ought to do the same thing. The problem of litter reflects a lack of responsibility on all sides. The local government has a duty to solve the problem by making use of collected garbage. The police have a duty to report people who litter public places and the courts have a duty to punish such people. Last but not least, the companies which produce throw-away products should stop using materials which can’t be burned or recycled.
Fred Hurst:
There’s not much we can do. There are a thousand square miles of countryside around this town. We cannot afford to supply a million litter cans and empty them regularly. We don’t have the money and we don’t have the workforce either. Why should the local town council be responsible for litter which is left by holiday visitors? Why should people be more careful not to litter, but rather collect it and put it into their home garbage bin? I do believe that it is more important to educate people to behave themselves than to complain the town council.
Ret Giles:
As we all know that littering is actually a crime and carries a heavy penalty. But the police are too busy preventing serious crimes to worry about litter problems. If somebody drops a ton of poisonous chemical waste in the forest, we will try to catch him, but we can’t arrest anyone who leaves a few empty cans or plastic bags around after a picnic. We are policemen, not babysitters.
Albert Greaves:
We use to sell drinks in glass bottles and we offered a little money when empty bottles were returned to us, because we could wash them and clean them and use them again. But glass is heavy and breaks easily, and they are expensive, so we changed to plastic. It’s a lot more cheaper, light, strong and unbreakable. Of course we don’t collect empty bottles because it’s cheaper and safer to make new ones. Empty bottles should be thrown in the litter cans, but a few untidy people don’t bother. That’s nothing to do with us. We are not responsible for their had habits. People should learn to be rid of bad habits and should learn to think not only of themselves but the others as well.
Now match each of the persons (61 to 65 ) to the appropriate statement.
Note: there are two extra statements.
Statements
[A] We are involved in far more serious social problems than littering.
[B] What we should do is to teach people not to litter.
[C] We can’t do anything, as it costs too much to treat the problem of littering.
[D] We should not litter and teach our children not to too.
[E] Who should be responsible for people’s bad habit? At least not us.
[F] Lack of responsibility of both the people and government causes the problem of littering.
[G] Littering problem is not created by plastic bottles.
