B You are going to hear a short speech. Listen carefully and write down the environmental issues mentioned in the speech.
burning of the forests/tree removal (deforestation)/reduction of the world's rain forests
Audioscript:
The Amazon forests are disappearing because of increased burning and tree removal. In September, satellite pictures showed more than 20 000 fires burning in the Amazon. Experts say most of these fires were set by farmers. The farmers were attempting to clear land to grow crops. The World Wildlife Fund says another serious problem is that too many trees in the Amazon rain forest are being cut down. World Wildlife Fund says the fires show the need for urgent international action to protect the world's rain forests. The group warns that without such action some forests could be lost forever. Nowadays energy is too expensive to waste. It costs the country, and you, too much. What have you done to conserve existing energy resources? Here are some tips to help you slim your
waste — save energy. Always remember that energy sense is common sense. C Now listen to some simple tips to help you save energy. Complete the dos and don'ts . Dos Don'ts
●Rough -dry your towels and nylon things.
●Cut out unnecessary lighting. ●Do without a wall-fire if you can.
●Defrost the fridge regularly.
●Before using your washing
machine, wait until you've a full
load. ●Cook a complete meal in the oven and save it on the rings and grill. ●Don't attempt to iron everything . ●Don't turn the iron up too
high. ●Don't leave the kettle to boil away. ●Don't fill the kettle to the brim for only a cup of tea ●Don't put hot food in the fridge.
Audioscript:
● Don't attempt to iron everything. Rough -dry your towels and
nylon things. Trust the thermostat on your iron — don't turn it up too high.
● Don't leave the kettle to boil away. And don't fill it to the brim for only a cup of tea!
● Cut out unnecessary lighting. Every little helps.
● Save it on he ating. Do without a wall-fire if you can.
● Defrost the fridge regularly. Ice build-up wastes fuel. Don't put hot food in either — if you do, the fridge has to work overtime.
● It makes energy sense to wait until you've a full load before using your washing machine.
● Cook a complete meal in the oven and save it on the rings and grill. Roast chicken, veg, and baked sweet to follow?
It all adds up. The more energy you save, the more money you save. That's good housekeeping!
When we listen to the weather forecasts, we often come across some terms related with the weather. For example, what is a cyclone? What is a hurricane? Are they the same? Here is the explanation.

Audioscript:
Major ocean storms in the northern part of the world usually develop in late summer or autumn over waters near the equator. They are known by several different names. Scientists call these storms cyclones when they happen just north or south of the equator in the Indian Ocean. In the western Pacific Ocean or the China Sea, these storms are called typhoons. In the eastern Pacific and Atlantic Ocean, they are called hurricanes.

interview：采访
Do you know what happens to a rain forest when the trees are chopped down? About 80% of the rain forests nutrients come from trees and plants. That leaves 20% of the nutrients in the soil. The nutrients from the leaves that fall are instantly recycled back into the plants and trees. When a rain forest is clear-cut, conditions change very quickly. The soil dries up in the sun. When it rains, it washes the soil away.
A Listen to the first part of an interview. Note down the key words in the notes column. Then answer the questions. Questions:
1. What is the vicious circle mentioned by Brian Cowles?
More people ——>. more firewood ——> fewer trees
{ More domestic animals —> more plants —> fewer available plants} —>
more desert —> move south —>desert expanding south —> no grass
2. Why is the rain so important to soil?
Growing crops stabilize soil, without them the top soil just blows away. But if there isn't enough rain the crops don't grow.
3. What are some of the reasons that tropical forests are being cut down?
People try to grow food to support themselves or to create ranches where cattle can be raised, or to get hardwood for export, or to make way for mines.

I — Interviewer B — Brian Cowles
I:Brian Cowles is the producer of a new series of ｄｏｃｕｍｅｎｔaries called "The Earth at Risk" which can be seen on
Channel 4 later this month. Each program deals with a different continent, doesn't it, Brian?
B:That's right. We went to America, both North and South and then we went over to Africa and Southeast Asia.
I: And what did you find in each of these continents?
B:Starting with Africa, our film shows the impact of the population on the environment. Generally speaking, this has caused the
Sahara Desert to expand. It's a bit of a vicious circle we find.
People cut down trees for firewood and their domestic animals eat all the available plants — and so consequently they have to move south as the Sahara Desert expands further south. I mean, soon the whole of Mali will become a desert. And in East
Africa: here the grasslands are supporting too many animals
and the result is, of course, there's no grass — nothing for the animals to eat.
I: I see. And the next film deals with North America?
B:That's right. In the USA, as you know, intensive agriculture requires a plentiful supply of rain for these crops to grow, I
mean if there isn't enough rain the crops don't grow. And
growing crops stabilize soil, without them the top soil just
blows away. This is also true for any region that is intensely
farmed — most of Europe, for example.
I: And what did you find in South America?
B:In South America (as in Central Africa and Southern Asia) tropical forests are being cut down at an alarming rate. This is done so that people can support themselves by growing food or to create ranches where cattle can be raised to be exported to
Europe or America as tinned meat. The problem is that the soil is so poor that only a couple of harvests are possible before this very thin soil becomes exhausted. And it can't be fed with
fertilizers like agricultural land in Europe.
For example, in Brazil in 1982 an area of jungle the size of
Britain and France combined was destroyed to make way for an iron ore mine. Huge numbers of trees are being cut down for
export as hardwood to Japan, Europe, USA to make things like luxury furniture. These forests can't be replaced — the forest
soil is thin and unproductive and in just a few years, a jungle
has become a waste land. Tropical forests contain rare plants
(which we can use for medicines, for example) and animals —one animal or plant species becomes extinct every half hour.
These forest trees also have worldwide effects. You know, they convert carbon dioxide into oxygen. The consequence of
destroying forests is not only that the climate of that region
changes (because there is less rainfall) but this change affects the whole world. I mean, over half the world's rain forest has been cut down this century (20th century).
B Now try this: listen to a more authentic version of the first part of the interview. Complete the outline.

A Listen to the second part of the interview. Note down the key words in the notes column. Then answer the questions. Questions:
1. Why is some flooding man-made?
Trees would hold rainfall in their roots. When forests in the higher up-river have been destroyed by men, all the rain that falls in the monsoon season flows straight into the river and starts the flooding.
2. What does Brian imply when he says the national governments have to be forward-looking?
He implies that some national governments just consider the results of their policies in the near future, or just think as far ahead as the next election.

B:Yes, by and large. I mean, obviously not hurricanes or earthquakes, but take flooding, for example. Practically every year, the whole of Bangladesh is flooded and this is getting
worse. You know, the cause is that forests have been cut down up in Nepal and India, I mean, higher up—river in the

However, many other influences have shaped the development of Modern English. We will review some important dates in the history of the English language. The first three are Latin influences: 1. In 5,5 B.C. Caesar conquered Britain and the Celtic people. 2. In 4 3. B.C. Rome colonized the island. 3. The Romans remained for 400 years (the first four centuries of the Christian Era). The next significant dates were: 4. The year 499 (which was the year of the Anglo-Saxon conquest of the island). 5. From 500 on, the West Germanic language was the basic language of Britain (or England).

Selinar：And is it true what they say about New Yorkers, that they're rude, and that they only care about themselves?
Eric：Well, I found the people were very friendly. However, they do have a reputation for not caring about other people. I think the reason for this is that life in New York is incredibly stressful. People just don't have the time to think about anybody else. It isn't that they don't care. Selinar：Is there anything else you noticed about New Yorkers? Eric：Two things I had heard about before I went to New York did seem to be true, though. First is that they are always talking about money and how much things cost. Secondly, it's that people eat all the time as they go about their daily lives, you know they "graze on the hoof" as they walk about the streets.
