        Since humans began to live in permanent settlements, one major issue has troubled every civilization: dealing with human waste. Highly contagious and fatal diseases like cholera and typhoid can be spread due to poor management of human excrement. That¡¦s why it is important to have good sewage and waste management systems. Unfortunately, many places lack good sanitation systems. Thus, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation launched the Reinvent the Toilet Challenge in 2011 to solve this problem.

        Samsung is one company that completed a project for this challenge. After three years of development, the toilet created by the company can turn waste into ash without using any water. It dehydrates, dries, and then burns solid waste to kill harmful bacteria, while liquid waste is treated through a biological purification process. The energy-efficient toilet can be easily built in remote areas and positively impacts the local environment. Samsung plans to license patents for the project free of charge to developing countries interested in the technology.





        Another company working on the challenge is Janicki. The Seattle- based company has developed a waste processing machine called the Omni Processor. Human waste collected by the machine is changed into different byproducts: ash, electricity, and clean water. The electricity produced by burning solid waste is used to power the machine, and the leftover ash can be turned into bricks. The wet waste can supply water to crops and plants and is safe enough to drink. Currently, the Omni Processor is being set up in Dakar, Senegal, with plans to introduce the machine to other cities in need.



1. How does the Samsung toilet help prevent infectious illnesses from spreading?

(A)  Fatal bacteria in liquid waste are collected and killed.

(B)  Harmful viruses in solid waste are burned and destroyed.

(C)  Bad germs in wet waste are heated and turned into ashes.

(D)  Deadly organisms in hard waste are purified through a special process.

2. What can be inferred about Samsung¡¦s next step with its new toilet in the future?

(A)  Samsung will produce it in Dakar, Senegal.

(B)  Samsung will offer it to developing countries for free.

(C)  Samsung will work with Janicki to build new models.

(D)  Samsung will sell it to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
