Manufacturers have learned that consumers place a high value (150) convenience and disposability. Today, many products — such as cans, bottles, paper napkins, and even paper clothing — are designed and manufactured to be used once and then thrown away. Other consumer goods, ranging from wristwatches and umbrellas to major appliances such as air conditioners and VCRs, are manufactured in (151) a way that it is often cheaper and easier to discard and replace them if they break down than it is to have them (152). A study showed that 26% of the solid waste that is thrown away in the United States consists of items that are designed to be discarded: disposable diapers, throwaway plastic pens and watches, and the like.

请帮忙给出每个问题的正确答案和分析，谢谢！

听力原文： When you see a clever advertisement in a newspaper, do you say to yourself, "Ah, that's good. I'd like to have one of those"？ Or do you say, "What lies are they telling this time？ It can't be very good or they wouldn't have to advertise it so cleverly"？ Both of these people exist; the first are optimists; the second, pessimists and realists.

Advertisements can be extremely useful if they are honest; if, let us say, you have broken your pen and you want to buy another, the first thing to do is to look at as many advertisements for pens as you can find. That will help you to choose the model, color and price that suit you. Advertisements save a lot of time and trouble by putting sellers in touch with buyers in a quick and simple way. If the advertisements are true and accurate, the customers will be satisfied and will probably buy from the same firm next time and advise their friends and acquaintances to do the same.

The really dishonest advertiser hopes to sell his goods quickly and to make a large profit on them before the customer's reactions begin. He knows that no customers will buy from him a second time, and that none will recommend his products to their friends. But there are also semi-dishonest advertisers. They make claims for their products which they know perfectly well to be incapable of verification, like advertising that a certain toothpaste contains a particular substance—which it in fact does—knowing that this substance is in fact neither beneficial nor harmful to the teeth. Such advertisements do not tell downright lies, but their advertising is deliberately misleading.
