The name sounds funny but the idea is no joke: it’s a personal toilet called the pee-pool, Anders Wilhelmson, a Swedish architect, is the inventor of the pee-pool.
He became interested in the idea of sanitation(卫生设施) after taking part in a research project on the social and political development of cities, One of the most common problems he found in developing countries was the lack of toilets, He wanted to do something to help, So working with others, he started the project in 2005, and the next year started a company called Peepoolple.
The toilet is a single—use bag made of environmentally friendly plastics, The inside is treated with urea （尿素）, a chemical commonly used as fertilizer, The hotter the weather, the more quickly the waste turns into what is needed by plants The sanitation process can be as soon as a couple of hours or as long as two to four weeks ,You can just bury it in a pot and grow whatever you like.
The company expects to start selling the bags in August in Kenya and Bangladesh, But it is just beginning production and sales in Nairobi now , Full production could reach about half a million bags a day and people may be able to buy the pee-pool in countries Vietnam, Bangladesh, etc.
The United Nations says more than two and a half billion people around the world do not have good sanitation ,Many have no choice but to use the outdoors, which is not only bad for the environment ,but also harmful to people’s health, Each year, poor sanitation leads to three fifths of those people getting an infectious disease which on average causes one out of 1,000 patients to die.
Jack Smith ,the founder of the World Toilet Organization ,says “This is quite an unacceptable situation given the fact that we are living in the modem world , And strangely, many of them own televisions ,phones but have no toilet.”

(答案→)D 解析：文章介绍了环保厕所pee-pool，它解决了发展中国家缺乏厕所的问题，并且可以被利用来终止植物，可谓是一举两得。【小题1】细节题。根据文章第二段 One of the most common problems he found in developing countries was the lack of toilets, He wanted to do something to help，可知他开公司的目的是帮助解决发展中国家缺少厕所的问题，所以选D【小题2】细节题。根据第三段The hotter the weather, the more quickly the waste turns into what is needed by plants可知在较热的环境里pee-pool能更快将废料转化为肥料，所以选C【小题3】细节题。根据文章第四段But it is just beginning production and sales in Nairobi now，可知pee-pool已经在Nairobi上市，所以选A【小题4】主旨大意题。第五段主要说明了生活环境不够清洁会产生的恶劣影响，比如滋生病菌等，所以应该选A【小题5】词义理解题。根据上下文，这里的this指的是许多发展中国家的家庭没有厕所的情况，所以选B
