Throughout the world,only15%of the material that are ud to make clothing is properly recycled,according to the Alle SacUrthur Club,an organization in Liverpool,UK,that boosts the circular economy.Most clothing waste—an(21)_______(estimate)82million tonnes from the
fashion industry alone—produced every year ends up buried or burnt.
(22)________(handle)all that waste,methods to recover and reu the material are intended as an active respon to the future risks by rearchers and start-up companies.Much of their focus is on chemical recycling,(23)_______the material is broken down into its building blocks and applied to create new materials,including fibres that(24)______(weave)into new clothes. The challenges lie in(25)________(develop)the process for such treatment.They have to be practical,but they also have to be at least as cost-effective as simply making new fibres.
(26)_______________the natural cellulo fibres from cotton,some other materials include human-made cellulosic fibres.They are derived from wood-pulp cellulo and may be ud to produce materials such as visco(rayon)and a similar material called lyocell.
A change in the manufacturing process is being applied to the textile-waste problem by Esn, a start-up in Seattle,Washington.(27)_______the company has fundamentally devoted to the process is that it us discarded textiles,instead of wood,as the source of its cellulo.It has also adjusted the process to produce a fibre that the firm’s co-founder and president Christo Stan says is superior to(28)______other cellulosics and cotton,and that can be recycled more times.
Although there are abundant technical challenges,the main barrier(29)______widespread textile recycling could be economic,says materials engineer Lijiang Jiang at the Massachutts Institute of Technology in Atlanta.“Most of the materials are not that invaluable,”Jiang says.So cheap it is to produce polyester,cotton and other fabrics(30)_______there’s little profit margin unless the recycling process themlves are very inexpensive.

It is common knowledge that mosquitoes don’t attack everyone equally.Scientists have discovered that the pests are(41)_______to people at astonishingly different rates,but they have struggled to explain what on earth makes certain people“mosquito magnets”while others survive totally.
In a new essay published on September16in the journal Science,rearchers indicate that certain body odors are the deciding factor.Every person has a unique scent profile consisting of different chemical compounds,which mosquitoes are quite(42)_______to,and the rearchers found that mosquitoes were most drawn to people who skin releas high levels of carboxylic acids.And(43)_______,the rearchers found that peoples’attractiveness to mosquitoes remained steady as time goes,regardless of changes in diet or brushing habits.
The rearchers carefully(44)_______the scent profiles to determine what might (45)_______for this vast difference.They found a pattern:the most attractive(46)_______tended to produce greater levels of carboxylic acids from their skin while the least attractive subjects produced much less.
Carboxylic acids are(47)_______organic compounds.Humans produce them in our bum, which is the oily layer that(48)_______our skin;there,the acids help to keep our skin moisturized and protected,Vosshall says.Humans relea carboxylic acids at much higher levels than most animals,De Obaldia adds,though the amount varies from person to person.The new study had too few participants to say what personal characteristics make someone more likely to produce high levels of carboxylic acids—and there’s no easy way to test your own skin’s carboxylic acid levels outside of the laboratory,Vosshall says.
But if you think you might be a mosquito magnet,all hope is not(49)_______lost.Akbari says the study could help rearchers develop more effective mosquito repellents in the future. The cret might be in adding new bacteria to the skin’s existing microbiome to alter its scent profile.So next time it will be(50)_______of you to apply repellents on your skin before you go to the spot.

affection for their guardians and em to attach importance to the(53)_______of their human companions.Their strong attachment to humans is partly(54)_______by their experiences of being cared by people as a kitten.Cats behave towards humans in the exactly same way that they respond to their feline friends,so the cret of whether your cat feels(55)_______to you lies
