Nike, a major United States sportswear company, wants your smelly, old sneakers．Why would anyone want dirty, worn-out shoes? The material used to make most sneakers is extremely flexible．Nike, in its "Reuse -a-Shoe" program, uses this soft material for creating playgrounds and high-performance athletic surfaces．
People are encouraged to drop off their unwanted shoes at one of the company's collection places．The company provides area retailers(零售商）, community agencies, and school groups with tools to promote the collection effort．These tools include posters, radio, and print advertisements．After approximately five thousand pairs of shoes have been collected, Nike sends a huge tractor-trailer to pick up the shoes and take them to the company's recycling plant in Oregon．
In the plants different parts of the shoes are ground into tiny pellets（小硬球）．Pellets made from the fabric or leather tops of the shoe are used to make padding（填料） that goes underneath hardwood basketball floors．The middle of the shoe is used to make artificial basketball courts, tennis courts, and soft playground surfaces．The pellets made from the heavy rubber bottoms of the shoes are made into football baseball, and soccer fields．These pellets are also used to make running tracks．Each year Nike selects neighborhoods that could benefit from having new sports surfaces．
The average life of a pair of sneakers is very predictable．Once the shoes become too worn-out to donate to charity or pass on to a friend, they are usually thrown away．A garbage truck takes the sneakers to a landfill. The materials used to make sneakers are not biodegradable（可生物降解的）, so they remain at the landfill year-after year．All those shoes have had a significant effect on our landfills．
The company eventually plans to recycle old sneakers into brand-new sneakers, but for now, they are pleased to partner with other companies who help to put all those old shoes to good use．

Shoppers are one step closer to being able to compare the carbon footprint （碳足迹） of the products and services they purchase, now that the UK is unveiling（透露） a common standard approved and managed by BSI British Standards．
Thanks to the standard, known as PAS2050, carbon footprints of products can be assessed consistently in grams of CO2 equivalent（等量）, said Graham Sinden, technical manager of the Carbon Trust, which co-sponsored the standard along with the government．
Boots, Walkers, Innocent Drinks and Tesco are among the businesses to have tested the standard so far, he said．
It covers the whole Hfecycle of products, from sourcing raw" materials to disposing(处理） or recycling Waste-and can be applied to offers as diverse as financial services and electrical goods．
Sinden said the standard would help in two ways: first, by helping companies measure and reduce die carbon footprint of an individual product or service; and second, by allowing them to communicate that footprint on a customer label or in other marketing material．
For mat reason, the Carbon Trust has published a code of good practice on communicated the carbon footprint of a product．This stresses that it's important for businesses to give people figures on the whole lifecycle, rather than a small part of it．
Consumers believe they want this information, but they don't necessarily trust the maker of the product to be the arbiter （仲裁人） of that information," said Sinden．"So there is value in having a third-party standard that's been consulted on and widely agreed．"
68．____invented the standard of PAS2050．

B．Graham Sinden
C．The UK government and Sinden

D．It can help people buy the freshest food, in the supermarket．
70．The purpose of the Carbon Trust publishing a code of good practice is ____．
A．to communicate the carbon footprint of a product
B．to co-sponsor the standard along with the government
C．to set a good example to other businesses to follow the standard
D．to prove that fhe standard can be practically followed
71．The consumers need a third-party standard about the carbon footprint because they ___．

How many main ingredients（原料） do you need to create a magnificent meal? The folks at SOAMARAMA would probably say "Just one!" If you like to eat or prepare unusual food, Austin is the perfect venue to satisfy your appetite．
SPAMARAMA is definitely the strangest event in Austin-and probably in all of Texas．It's a festival that celebrates PAM, a canned pork product．In 1976 David Amsberger and Dick Terry started the tradition．About 10,000 people come each year to sample wonderful recipes created for the SPAM cooking contest．Some entries for the contest are familiar dishes like SPAM sandwiches and casseroles, while others, such as SPAM ice cream．Moo Goo Gai SPAM, and GuacaSPAMole, are really quite new．
The contest has two divisions: one for professional chefs and restaurant owners, and one for amateur cooks．In he amateur division, everyone is welcome to show their stuff．One contestant（参赛者） entered the contest with a dish that was a mixture of cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, SPAM, and raisins．The dish's poor rating at the contest did not hold back this stubborn individual．Hoping to find a more accepting group of judges, he froze his entry and brought it back the following year．m keeping with the spirit of the event, the judges decided to create a "last-place-even-if-there-were-a-hundred-entries" award just for him．
But the contest isn't the only event that pulls in audiences at SPAMARAM A．Those who don't want to actually eat SPAM can play with it instead．The SPAM toss（similar to an egg toss） is entertaining to watch．Artistic types can enjoy the SPAM-carving display, which features "SPAM sculptures" of animals, people, and much more．
SPAMARAMA takes place annually on the first weekend of April Not surprisingly, the event often falls on-or close to-April Fools' Day, but it's 100% real! And there's still time for you to create next year's award-winning recipe．
72．What does the word "venue" mean in paragraph ?
