If we kept these things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.In some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside of the city to a dump(垃圾站). Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage system. The sewagesystem takes away the used water from toilets, bathtubs(澡盆) and other places.To keep mice and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land. Finally, a house or a school may be built there, and then youd never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump.In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places. The fire burns everything but the metal. Sometimes the metal can be used again in factories where things are made of metal.

The population in Africa as in other parts of the world, is getting older. Currently, there are 36 million people on the continent 65 years and above. which is 3.6 percent of the population. up from 3.3 percent 10 years ago. That could rise to 4.5 percent by 2030 and 10 percent by 2050. The African development Bank is raising concerns over the shortage of health insurance and pensions (养老金).The African Development Bank says. Aging is highly linked with long-term physical and mental disability and a number of long-term chronic (慢性的) conditions.Africa is not well prepared to care for its aging population right now. And it needs to prepare for this fact. said Professor Mthuli Ncube. the African Development Banks chief economist. African nations spend far less on healthcare than developed nations do_ about $26per person per year. Not so many countries have well developed medical aid plans for the elderly, whether they are privately provided plans or indeed government plans. If you look at the pension plans, you will find the pension industries are not well developed in some of the countries.Professor Mthuli Ncube said African governments failed to take action on health insurance and pensions because they were busy with economic reforms.Another challenge for Africa is the worsening of informal systems of social protection. That is cash and support from both the extended family and community sources.The African Development Bank recommends governments help carry out health insurance and pension plans. Ncube said African governments didnt have to handle the health insurance burden alone. It is not only a must but also an opportunity for private companies to add their bit in this regard, he said. The report also recommends that African governments consider providing ways of free health services. medications and long-term health care facilities for the elderly.（1）From the first paragraph we know the facts except that _A . the speed of people aging is becoming quickerB .

Long-term physical disability.B . Long-term mental disability.C . Long-term chronic illnesses.D . Long-term shortage of care and love.（3）What got in the way of developing health insurance and pensions in Africa?A . The economic reforms.B . Too many old people.C . The shortage of land.D . The development of the economy.（4）How can the aging problem be solved in Africa according to Ncube?A . African governments should spend as much money on healthcare as developed countriesB . African people should save enough money to insure their health.C . African governments should combine with private companies to finish health insurance and pension pains.D .
