In the classic marriage vow (誓约), couples promise to stay together in sickness and in health. But a new study finds that the risk of divorce among older couples rises when the wife－not the husband－becomes seriously ill.
“Married women diagnosed with a serious health condition may find themselves struggling with the impact of their disease while also experiencing the stress of divorce.” said researched Amelia Karraker.
Karraker and co-author Kenzie Latham analyzed 20 years of data on 2,717 marriages from a study conducted by Indiana University since 1992. At the time of the first interview, at least one of the partners was over the age of 50.
The researchers examined how the onset (发生) of four serious physical illnesses affected marriages. They found that, overall, 31% of marriages ended in divorce over the period studied. The incidence of new chronic (慢性的) illness onset increased over time as well, with more husbands than wives developing serious health problems.
“We found that women are doubly weak when their marriage breaks up in the face of illness,” Karraker said. “They’re more likely to be widowed, and if they’re the ones who become ill, they’re more likely to get divorced.”
While the study didn’t assess why divorce is more likely when wives but not husbands become seriously ill, Karraker offers a few possible reasons. “Gender roles and social expectations about caregiving may make it more difficult for men to provide care to sick spouses.” Karraker said. “And because of the imbalance in marriage markets, especially in older ages, divorced men have more choices among potential partners than divorced women.”
Given the increasing concern about health care costs for the aging population, Karraker believes policymakers should be aware of the relationship between disease and risk of divorce.
“Offering support services to spouses caring for their other halves may reduce martial stress and prevent divorce at older ages.” she said. “But it’s also important to recognize that the pressure to divorce may be health-related and that sick ex-wives may need additional care and services to prevent worsening health and increased health costs.”
58. What can we learn about marriage vows from the passage?
A. They can help couples get through hard times.
B. They are not taken seriously any more.
C. They are as binding as they used to be.
D. They may not guarantee a lasting marriage.
59. What did Karraker and co-author Kenzie Latham find about elderly husbands?
A. They can develop different kinds of illness just like their wives.
B. They are more likely to get serious illness than their wives.
C. They are generally not good at taking care of themselves.
D. They are more likely to be divorced in the face of illness.
60. Why is it more difficult for men to take care of their sick spouses according to Karraker?
A. They think it more urgent to take on their social role.
B. They find it much easier to find another partner.
C. They are more accustomed to receiving care.
D. They expect society to do more of the job.
C
The new social robots, including Jibo, Cozmo, Kuri and Meccano M.A.X., bear some similarities to assistants like Apple’s Siri, but these robots come with something more. They are designed to win us over not with their smarts but with their personality. They are sold as companions that do more than talk to us. Time magazine cheered for the robots that “could fundamentally reshape how we interact with machines.” But is reshaping how we interact with machines a good thing, especially for children?
Some researchers in favor of the robots don’t see a problem with this. People have relationships with many kinds of things. Some say robots are just another thing with which we can have relationships. To support their argument, roboticists sometimes point to how children deal with toy dolls. Children animate (赋予…生命) dolls and turn them into imaginary friends. Jibo, in a sense, will be one more imaginary friend, and arguably a more intelligent and fun one.
Getting attached to dolls and sociable machines is different, though. Today’s robots tell children that they have emotions, friendships, even dreams to share. In reality, the whole goal of the robots is emotional trickery. For instance, Cozmo the robot needs to be fed, repaired and played with. Boris Sofman, the chief executive of Anki, the company behind Cozmo, says that the idea is to create “a deeper and deeper emotional connection ... And if you neglect him, you feel the pain of that.” What is the point of this, exactly? What does it mean to feel the pain of neglecting something that feels no pain at being neglected, or to feel anger at being neglected by something that doesn’t even know it is neglecting you?
This should not be our only concern. It is troubling that these robots try to understand how children feel. Robots, however, have no emotions to share, and they cannot put themselves in our place. No matter what robotic creatures “say”, they don’t understand our emotional lives. They present themselves as empathy machines, but they are missing the essential equipment. They have not been born, they don’t know pain, or death, or fear. Robot thinking may be thinking, but robot feeling is never feeling, and robot love is never love.
What is also troubling is that children take robots’ behavior to indicate feelings. When the robots interact with them, children take this as evidence that the robots like them, and when robots don’t work when needed, children also take it personally. Their relationships with the robots affect their self-esteem (自尊). In one study, an 8-year-old boy concluded that the robot stopped talking to him because the robot liked his brothers better.
For so long, we dreamed of artificial intelligence offering us not only simple help but conversation and care. Now that our dream is becoming real, it is time to deal with the emotional downside of living with robots that “feel”.
61. How are the new social robots different from Siri?
A. They have a new way to communicate with human beings.
B. Their main function is to evaluate children’s personality.
C. They are designed to attract people with their smarts.
D. They are intended to teach children how to talk.
62. In Paragraph 3 Cozmo is used as an example to show that the social robots ______.
A. are not good enough to carry out the instructions of children
B. are so advanced that they can feel the pain of human beings
C. are unable to build a real relationship with children
D. are deeply connected with human beings
63. The underlined phrase “essential equipment” in Paragraph 4 refers to ______.
A. fear B. pain C. emotion D. thinking
64. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?
A. B.
C. D.
I: Introduction P: Point S: Sub-point C: Conclusion
D
The market for products designed specifically for older adults could reach $30 billion by next year, and startups (初创公司) want in on the action. What they sometimes lack is feedback from the people who they hope will use their products. So Brookdale, the country’s largest owner of retirement communication, has been inviting a few select entrepreneurs just to move in for a few days, show off their products and hear what the residents have to say.
That’s what brought Dayle Rodriguez, 28, all the way from England to the dining room of Brookdale South Bay in Torrance, California. Rodriguez is the community and marketing manager for a company called Sentab. The startup’s product, Sentab TV, enables older adults who may not be comfortable with computers to access email, video chat and social media using just their televisions and a remote control.
“It’s nothing new, it’s nothing too complicated and it’s natural because lots of people have TV remotes.” says Rodriguez.
But none of that is the topic of conversation in the Brookdale dining room. Instead, Rodriguez solicits residents’ advice on what he should get on his cheeseburger and how he should spend the afternoon. Playing cards was on the agenda, as well as learning to play mahjong(麻将).
Rodriguez says it’s important that residents here don’t feel like he’s selling them something. “I’ve had more feedback in a passive approach.” he says. “Playing pool, playing cards, having dinner, having lunch, all work better than going through a survey of questions. When they get to know me and to trust me, knowing for sure I’m not selling them something—there’ll be more honest feedback from them.”
Rodriguez is just the seventh entrepreneur to move into one of Brookdale’s 1,100 senior living communities. Other new products in the program have included a kind of full-body blow dryer and specially designed clothing that allows people with disabilities to dress and undress themselves.
“First and foremost, the residents love it.” says Smith. “It also provides Brookdale the opportunity to learn about and experience new technologies quickly and inexpensively and to make sure that we understand what residents want and need.”
Mary Lou Busch, 93, agreed to try the Sentab system. She tells Rodriguez that it might be good for someone, but not for her.
“I have the computer and FaceTime, which I talk with my family on.” she explains. She also has an iPad and a smart phone. “So I do pretty much everything I need to do.”
Rodriguez takes it pretty well.
“I’m not going to lie to you, I would’ve liked a more positive response.” he says. But “if people don’t need it or want it, it’s up to us to change, adapt it or make it more useful.”
To be fair, if Rodriguez had wanted feedback from some more technophobic (害怕技术的) seniors, he might have ended up in the wrong Brookdale community. This one is located in the heart of Southern California’s aerospace corridor. Many residents have backgrounds in engineering, business and academic circles.
But Rodriguez says he’s still learning something important by moving into this Brookdale community: “People are more tech-skilled than we thought.”
And besides, where else would he learn to play mahjong?
65. What does the passage say about the startups?
A. They want to have a share of the seniors’ goods market.
B. They try to profit from promoting digital products to seniors.
C. They invite seniors to their companies to try their products.
D. They never lose time in upgrading products for seniors.
66. Some entrepreneurs have been invited to Brookdale to ______.
A. show senior residents how to use IT products
B. have an interview with potential customers
C. conduct a survey of retirement communities
D. collect residents’ feedback on their products
67. What do we know about Sentab TV?
A. It is a digital TV which enjoys popularity among seniors.
B. It is a TV specially designed for seniors to view programs.
C. It is a communication system via TV instead of a computer.
D. It is a TV program catering to the interest of the elderly.
68. Which of the following best explains “solicits” underlined in Paragraph 4?
A. rejects B. offers C. voices D. seeks
69. What does Rodriguez say is important in promoting products?
A. Knowing the likes and dislikes of customers.
B. Responding promptly to customer feedback.
C. Winning trust from potential customers.
D. Demonstrating their superiority on the spot.
70. What do we learn about the seniors in the Brookdale community?
A. Most of them enjoy a longer life than average people.
B. They are quite at ease with high-tech products.
C. Most of them are interested in using the Sentab.
D. They have much in common with seniors elsewhere.

Is Cash Becoming Outdated?
When he rolls into a gas station to fill his tank, Barkhad Dahir doesn’t get out of his car. He pushes a few buttons on his cellphone and within seconds he has paid for the fuel. With the same quick pushes on his phone, he pays for virtually everything he needs: groceries at the supermarket, a few oranges from a market stall, or a cup of sweet milky tea from a café. Mr. Dahir boasts, “Even lying in bed, you can be paying your bills.”
Electronic payments offer consumers convenience, provide revenue for banks, credit card companies and payment processors, and offer merchants improved cash flow and convenience. “I don’t even carry money any more,” says Adan Abokor, a democracy activist. “I haven’t seen cash for a long time. Almost every merchant, even hawker (小贩) on the street, accepts payment by cellphone. There’s no waiting for it and no counting of cash.”
The system is impressively simple and secure. Purchases are made by dialing a three-digit number, entering a four-digit PIN, and then entering the retailer’s payment number and the amount of money. Both customers and merchants receive text messages to confirm the payment.
Clearing up cash payments has several advantages as well. The printing and handling of money is expensive. Cash payments can be anonymous and hard to track criminal activities to be conducted in secret. Many governments favor reducing cash dealings in order to better monitor and understand the activities of their citizens. The Swedish government has been discussing the removing of cash since 2010.
However, some people doubt what members of a cashless society do when the power goes off. Do they choose to barter (物物交换) and rob? Do they sit at home and wait? What happens to people who rely on their cellphones to process money dealings when cell service and the Internet are interrupted? A world affected by terrorism and increasingly violent weather may not yet be ready to abandon currency. “Ironically, the day after the largest bank in Norway, DNB, proposed ending all cash dealings, I went to my local grocery store and when I tried to pay by phone, I was told that I needed to go to the ATM to get cash because the system was broken.” said an interviewee.
Other people fear that electronic payments may create security and fraud risks and enable dealings to be tracked and reported. Privacy, security and convenience are all important factors in the adoption of electronic payment technology. New technologies which balance and address these factors may enable people to remove cash.
Is Cash Becoming Outdated?
An example of electronic payments
Barkhad Dahir claims that he can get easy 76 to his own bank when paying for his fuel and necessities.
77 of electronic payments
● They can 78 customers from waiting in line or counting the cash.
● They are very 79 , for both customers and merchants will receive text
messages to confirm the payment.
● They reduce the 80 of printing and handling money.
● They make it 81 for the governments to keep track of the citizens’ cash activities.
Concerns of electronic payments
● Some people worry about the effective payment in case of a power 82 .
● Other people show their concerns about their own 83 , for their money dealings can be monitored and made known.
● Security and fraud risks may occur when electronic payments are in 84 .
Conclusion
Cash is not likely to 85 unless privacy, security and convenience are balanced and settled.

请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
On Sina Weibo, the issue of trash sorting in Shanghai has attracted more than 50,000 posts and 70 million views, but enforcement of the regulation has sparked mixed feelings among the public.
Some people praised Shanghai for being a role model to solve the trash problem, while others complained about the inconvenience the regulation had brought to their daily lives, and made jokes about sorting their trash.
One of the most popular jokes goes, “Think about pigs before sorting your trash—things pigs can eat go to kitchen waste, things pigs don’t eat are residual waste, things pigs might die from while eating them are risky, and things that can be sold for money to buy a pig belong to recyclables.”
Xiao Guiyu, deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Shanghai Municipal People’s Congress, said, “Although it’s a joke, it sums up the principle of trash sorting in a simple way that everyone can understand.” As for the complaints about inconvenience, the legislator stressed that the new regulation is a law, and just like traffic regulations, people have to learn to obey it as long as they live in Shanghai.

One possible version：
Trash sorting nowadays is receiving mixed opinions with some people applauding it while others dismissing it as inconvenient. Nevertheless, however unaccustomed people may feel, they must observe the new regulation.
I hold it firm that the value of trash sorting can’t be over-emphasized, and its advantages are as follows. To begin with, it is environmentally-friendly in that it will reduce the land occupation used to bury garbage. Moreover, it is economically-beneficial, for it will not only save the cost of processing garbage, it will also enable the reuse of the recyclable.
Significant as trash sorting is, people’s confusion about the categories of trash sometimes discourages their willingness to do it. Accordingly, a series of campaigns should be in place to help people build up a strong awareness of the necessity and understand how to categorize trash.
In a word, trash sorting is a worthwhile course which will benefit future generations.

In the classic marriage vow (誓约), couples promise to stay together in sickness and in health. But a new study finds that the risk of divorce among older couples rises when the wife－not the husband－becomes seriously ill.
“Married women diagnosed with a serious health condition may find themselves struggling with the impact of their disease while also experiencing the stress of divorce.” said researched Amelia Karraker.
Karraker and co-author Kenzie Latham analyzed 20 years of data on 2,717 marriages from a study conducted by Indiana University since 1992. At the time of the first interview, at least one of the partners was over the age of 50.
The researchers examined how the onset (发生) of four serious physical illnesses affected marriages. They found that, overall, 31% of marriages ended in divorce over the period studied. The incidence of new chronic (慢性的) illness onset increased over time as well, with more husbands than wives developing serious health problems.
“We found that women are doubly weak when their marriage breaks up in the face of illness,” Karraker said. “They’re more likely to be widowed, and if they’re the ones who become ill, they’re more likely to get divorced.”
While the study didn’t assess why divorce is more likely when wives but not husbands become seriously ill, Karraker offers a few possible reasons. “Gender roles and social expectations about caregiving may make it more difficult for men to provide care to sick spouses.” Karraker said. “And because of the imbalance in marriage markets, especially in older ages, divorced men have more choices among potential partners than divorced women.”
Given the increasing concern about health care costs for the aging population, Karraker believes policymakers should be aware of the relationship between disease and risk of divorce.
“Offering support services to spouses caring for their other halves may reduce martial stress and prevent divorce at older ages.” she said. “But it’s also important to recognize that the pressure to divorce may be health-related and that sick ex-wives may need additional care and services to prevent worsening health and increased health costs.”
58. What can we learn about marriage vows from the passage?
A. They can help couples get through hard times.
B. They are not taken seriously any more.
C. They are as binding as they used to be.
D. They may not guarantee a lasting marriage.
59. What did Karraker and co-author Kenzie Latham find about elderly husbands?
A. They can develop different kinds of illness just like their wives.
B. They are more likely to get serious illness than their wives.
C. They are generally not good at taking care of themselves.
D. They are more likely to be divorced in the face of illness.
60. Why is it more difficult for men to take care of their sick spouses according to Karraker?
A. They think it more urgent to take on their social role.
B. They find it much easier to find another partner.
C. They are more accustomed to receiving care.
D. They expect society to do more of the job.
C
The new social robots, including Jibo, Cozmo, Kuri and Meccano M.A.X., bear some similarities to assistants like Apple’s Siri, but these robots come with something more. They are designed to win us over not with their smarts but with their personality. They are sold as companions that do more than talk to us. Time magazine cheered for the robots that “could fundamentally reshape how we interact with machines.” But is reshaping how we interact with machines a good thing, especially for children?
Some researchers in favor of the robots don’t see a problem with this. People have relationships with many kinds of things. Some say robots are just another thing with which we can have relationships. To support their argument, roboticists sometimes point to how children deal with toy dolls. Children animate (赋予…生命) dolls and turn them into imaginary friends. Jibo, in a sense, will be one more imaginary friend, and arguably a more intelligent and fun one.
Getting attached to dolls and sociable machines is different, though. Today’s robots tell children that they have emotions, friendships, even dreams to share. In reality, the whole goal of the robots is emotional trickery. For instance, Cozmo the robot needs to be fed, repaired and played with. Boris Sofman, the chief executive of Anki, the company behind Cozmo, says that the idea is to create “a deeper and deeper emotional connection ... And if you neglect him, you feel the pain of that.” What is the point of this, exactly? What does it mean to feel the pain of neglecting something that feels no pain at being neglected, or to feel anger at being neglected by something that doesn’t even know it is neglecting you?
This should not be our only concern. It is troubling that these robots try to understand how children feel. Robots, however, have no emotions to share, and they cannot put themselves in our place. No matter what robotic creatures “say”, they don’t understand our emotional lives. They present themselves as empathy machines, but they are missing the essential equipment. They have not been born, they don’t know pain, or death, or fear. Robot thinking may be thinking, but robot feeling is never feeling, and robot love is never love.
What is also troubling is that children take robots’ behavior to indicate feelings. When the robots interact with them, children take this as evidence that the robots like them, and when robots don’t work when needed, children also take it personally. Their relationships with the robots affect their self-esteem (自尊). In one study, an 8-year-old boy concluded that the robot stopped talking to him because the robot liked his brothers better.
For so long, we dreamed of artificial intelligence offering us not only simple help but conversation and care. Now that our dream is becoming real, it is time to deal with the emotional downside of living with robots that “feel”.
61. How are the new social robots different from Siri?
A. They have a new way to communicate with human beings.
B. Their main function is to evaluate children’s personality.
C. They are designed to attract people with their smarts.
D. They are intended to teach children how to talk.
62. In Paragraph 3 Cozmo is used as an example to show that the social robots ______.
A. are not good enough to carry out the instructions of children
B. are so advanced that they can feel the pain of human beings
C. are unable to build a real relationship with children
D. are deeply connected with human beings
63. The underlined phrase “essential equipment” in Paragraph 4 refers to ______.
A. fear B. pain C. emotion D. thinking
64. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?
A. B.
C. D.

D
The market for products designed specifically for older adults could reach $30 billion by next year, and startups (初创公司) want in on the action. What they sometimes lack is feedback from the people who they hope will use their products. So Brookdale, the country’s largest owner of retirement communication, has been inviting a few select entrepreneurs just to move in for a few days, show off their products and hear what the residents have to say.
That’s what brought Dayle Rodriguez, 28, all the way from England to the dining room of Brookdale South Bay in Torrance, California. Rodriguez is the community and marketing manager for a company called Sentab. The startup’s product, Sentab TV, enables older adults who may not be comfortable with computers to access email, video chat and social media using just their televisions and a remote control.
“It’s nothing new, it’s nothing too complicated and it’s natural because lots of people have TV remotes.” says Rodriguez.
But none of that is the topic of conversation in the Brookdale dining room. Instead, Rodriguez solicits residents’ advice on what he should get on his cheeseburger and how he should spend the afternoon. Playing cards was on the agenda, as well as learning to play mahjong(麻将).
Rodriguez says it’s important that residents here don’t feel like he’s selling them something. “I’ve had more feedback in a passive approach.” he says. “Playing pool, playing cards, having dinner, having lunch, all work better than going through a survey of questions. When they get to know me and to trust me, knowing for sure I’m not selling them something—there’ll be more honest feedback from them.”
Rodriguez is just the seventh entrepreneur to move into one of Brookdale’s 1,100 senior living communities. Other new products in the program have included a kind of full-body blow dryer and specially designed clothing that allows people with disabilities to dress and undress themselves.
“First and foremost, the residents love it.” says Smith. “It also provides Brookdale the opportunity to learn about and experience new technologies quickly and inexpensively and to make sure that we understand what residents want and need.”
Mary Lou Busch, 93, agreed to try the Sentab system. She tells Rodriguez that it might be good for someone, but not for her.
“I have the computer and FaceTime, which I talk with my family on.” she explains. She also has an iPad and a smart phone. “So I do pretty much everything I need to do.”
Rodriguez takes it pretty well.
“I’m not going to lie to you, I would’ve liked a more positive response.” he says. But “if people don’t need it or want it, it’s up to us to change, adapt it or make it more useful.”
To be fair, if Rodriguez had wanted feedback from some more technophobic (害怕技术的) seniors, he might have ended up in the wrong Brookdale community. This one is located in the heart of Southern California’s aerospace corridor. Many residents have backgrounds in engineering, business and academic circles.
But Rodriguez says he’s still learning something important by moving into this Brookdale community: “People are more tech-skilled than we thought.”
And besides, where else would he learn to play mahjong?
65. What does the passage say about the startups?
A. They want to have a share of the seniors’ goods market.
B. They try to profit from promoting digital products to seniors.
C. They invite seniors to their companies to try their products.
D. They never lose time in upgrading products for seniors.
66. Some entrepreneurs have been invited to Brookdale to ______.
A. show senior residents how to use IT products
B. have an interview with potential customers
C. conduct a survey of retirement communities
D. collect residents’ feedback on their products
67. What do we know about Sentab TV?
A. It is a digital TV which enjoys popularity among seniors.
B. It is a TV specially designed for seniors to view programs.
C. It is a communication system via TV instead of a computer.
D. It is a TV program catering to the interest of the elderly.
68. Which of the following best explains “solicits” underlined in Paragraph 4?
A. rejects B. offers C. voices D. seeks
69. What does Rodriguez say is important in promoting products?
A. Knowing the likes and dislikes of customers.
B. Responding promptly to customer feedback.
C. Winning trust from potential customers.
D. Demonstrating their superiority on the spot.
70. What do we learn about the seniors in the Brookdale community?
A. Most of them enjoy a longer life than average people.
B. They are quite at ease with high-tech products.
C. Most of them are interested in using the Sentab.
D. They have much in common with seniors elsewhere.

Is Cash Becoming Outdated?
When he rolls into a gas station to fill his tank, Barkhad Dahir doesn’t get out of his car. He pushes a few buttons on his cellphone and within seconds he has paid for the fuel. With the same quick pushes on his phone, he pays for virtually everything he needs: groceries at the supermarket, a few oranges from a market stall, or a cup of sweet milky tea from a café. Mr. Dahir boasts, “Even lying in bed, you can be paying your bills.”
Electronic payments offer consumers convenience, provide revenue for banks, credit card companies and payment processors, and offer merchants improved cash flow and convenience. “I don’t even carry money any more,” says Adan Abokor, a democracy activist. “I haven’t seen cash for a long time. Almost every merchant, even hawker (小贩) on the street, accepts payment by cellphone. There’s no waiting for it and no counting of cash.”
The system is impressively simple and secure. Purchases are made by dialing a three-digit number, entering a four-digit PIN, and then entering the retailer’s payment number and the amount of money. Both customers and merchants receive text messages to confirm the payment.
Clearing up cash payments has several advantages as well. The printing and handling of money is expensive. Cash payments can be anonymous and hard to track criminal activities to be conducted in secret. Many governments favor reducing cash dealings in order to better monitor and understand the activities of their citizens. The Swedish government has been discussing the removing of cash since 2010.
However, some people doubt what members of a cashless society do when the power goes off. Do they choose to barter (物物交换) and rob? Do they sit at home and wait? What happens to people who rely on their cellphones to process money dealings when cell service and the Internet are interrupted? A world affected by terrorism and increasingly violent weather may not yet be ready to abandon currency. “Ironically, the day after the largest bank in Norway, DNB, proposed ending all cash dealings, I went to my local grocery store and when I tried to pay by phone, I was told that I needed to go to the ATM to get cash because the system was broken.” said an interviewee.
Other people fear that electronic payments may create security and fraud risks and enable dealings to be tracked and reported. Privacy, security and convenience are all important factors in the adoption of electronic payment technology. New technologies which balance and address these factors may enable people to remove cash.
Is Cash Becoming Outdated?

请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
On Sina Weibo, the issue of trash sorting in Shanghai has attracted more than 50,000 posts and 70 million views, but enforcement of the regulation has sparked mixed feelings among the public.
Some people praised Shanghai for being a role model to solve the trash problem, while others complained about the inconvenience the regulation had brought to their daily lives, and made jokes about sorting their trash.
One of the most popular jokes goes, “Think about pigs before sorting your trash—things pigs can eat go to kitchen waste, things pigs don’t eat are residual waste, things pigs might die from while eating them are risky, and things that can be sold for money to buy a pig belong to recyclables.”
Xiao Guiyu, deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Shanghai Municipal People’s Congress, said, “Although it’s a joke, it sums up the principle of trash sorting in a simple way that everyone can understand.” As for the complaints about inconvenience, the legislator stressed that the new regulation is a law, and just like traffic regulations, people have to learn to obey it as long as they live in Shanghai.

One possible version：
Trash sorting nowadays is receiving mixed opinions with some people applauding it while others dismissing it as inconvenient. Nevertheless, however unaccustomed people may feel, they must observe the new regulation.
I hold it firm that the value of trash sorting can’t be over-emphasized, and its advantages are as follows. To begin with, it is environmentally-friendly in that it will reduce the land occupation used to bury garbage. Moreover, it is economically-beneficial, for it will not only save the cost of processing garbage, it will also enable the reuse of the recyclable.
Significant as trash sorting is, people’s confusion about the categories of trash sometimes discourages their willingness to do it. Accordingly, a series of campaigns should be in place to help people build up a strong awareness of the necessity and understand how to categorize trash.
In a word, trash sorting is a worthwhile course which will benefit future generations.
