Given all of these difficulties, environmental critics say recycling is not the solution-and argue that creating more products from recycled material to attract environmental consciousness merely worsens the problem. “The solution is to use less plastic and to stop misleading the public about the recyclability," says Enck, president of Beyond Plastics, a US campaign group with a mission to end single-use plastic. “They should stop making false claims about the recyclability of plastics since they know most will either be littered or; burned or landfilled (填埋). Using less plastics means shifting to reusable products and relying more on paper, cardboard, glass and metal- -all of which should be made from recycled content."

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Have yoever caught a smell of something and been strongly reminded of a person or place? There seems to be a deep psychological link between smells and our memory. Some research even suggests that smells can influence our cognition(认知,感知).

36 Roja Dove, a perfumer, informed the BBC that when we are born, the olfactory bulb(嗅球)，which is the area in our brain that processes smell, is empty, without pre-existing information or association. 37 When we smell an odour again, the original and unique memory comes flooding back because of the association acquired in our previous experience.

Our awareness of smells is primarily unconscious. 38 But, low-level smells are still picked up because the scent receptors( 感受器) in our brain are so powerful that we unconsciously register them. In fact, various studies have found the olfactory bulb sends more neurons(神经元) to more areas of our brain than our hearing or vision.

Research suggests that the power of smell can also affect how the brain performs. 39 Mark Moss at Northumbria University' s Psychology Department discovered that certain essential oils, such as peppermint, positively impact cognition, and rosemary s scent can enhance memory. He also studied lavender, which he says “tends to impair memory and slow reaction time". But research by others has shown it to be useful in reducing pre treatment anxiety in dental and medical situations.

40 The next time a familiar smell brings back a special memory. just remember that your nose is working wonders.

A. Why do smells take us back?

B. So, don't take your nose for granted.

C. How is the sense of smell connected to your brain?

D. Scents can revive memories that have been long forgotten.

E. We are not actively aware of them unless they are extremely strong.

F. This is especially true when it comes to the fragrance of essential oils.
