Its level has risen by a third since the industrial revolution started in the 1760s. As CO2 has built up, so temperature has risen. The main culprits behind increasing CO2 levels are burning fossil fuels and deforestation. The US alone pumps out a quarter of the world’s CO2 emission.Global Pollution TrendsIf the number of cars keeps increasing at the present rate, there will be more than a billion on the road by 2025. Today, motor vehicles put out 900 million tons of carbon dioxide a year—about 15 percent of our total output. More vehicles will mean more global warming. Also by 2025, two-thirds of the world’s people will live in cities, so traffic jams and pollution will loom large in most people’s lives.Global Population TrendsNever has the pressure on the world’s r esources been so great. Over the next 20 years, the global population is expected to grow by a quarter –that’s an extra 1.5 billion mounts to feed. Water is also under pressure as never before. Today, some 500 million people do not have enough water. By 2025, that number is expected to hit 2.5 billion.Awareness MagazineAwareness Magazine is a bimonthly magazine, which came into being in 1993, and claims to devote itself to making our planet a better place to live in.Summary:In an interview for Awareness Magazine, four specialists discuss their views on environmental issues with Dr. Mckinley.

牛津大学始建于12世纪。

它位于英格兰的牛津，在伦敦西北约80公里处。

牛津大学有16 300多名学生（1999 — 2000），其中留学生占将近四分之一，来自130多个国家。

牛津大学有35个学院，还有5个由不同宗教团体建立的私立学院。

5个私立学院中，有3个只招男生。

学院中，圣希尔达和萨默维尔学院只收女生，其他均为男女兼收。

牛津的每个学院都是独立于大学的实体，由该学院的院长和管委会成员负责管理。

大部分管委会成员都被称为“导师”，或学院教师，其余的是大学教授和讲师。

每个学院管理自己的房产和资产，选举自己的管委会，选择和招收自己的本科生。

大学提供一些图书馆、实验室及其他设施，但教学和学生生活主要由各学院负责。

牛津大学给每个学生指定一个导师，他主要通过辅导课监督学生的学习。

辅导课是指导师每周与1到2名学生见面一次。

学生如需专业指导，还可约见其他的导师，也可选听大学老师讲授的课程。

学生选听什么课程是根据自己的兴趣和导师的建议而定的。

学位由大学而不是各个学院授予。

最低文科或理科学位是优等文学学士。

牛津还在其他众多学科领域授予更高的学位、文凭和证书罗兹奖学金面向美国、加拿大和很多其他国家的学生，为他们提供至少两年的牛津学习费用。

英国政府为在牛津和其他英国境内的大学求学的美国公民提供“马歇尔奖学金”。

Hi, welcome to our college. You will spend at least four years here. College days will be the golden years of your life. There are many opportunities for you to explore the unknown and you can experience a lot. You can make lifelong friends; you can enjoy various kinds of ac tivities; you can develop your personal interests; and you will meet some outstanding Scholars Keep a good balance and lay a solid foundation. There are many doors to your dreams. You decide how many you can open.First time There’s a proverb that says: “All great journeys start with a dream.” Today it seems there are so many people who just exist they have no goals, no desires, no aspirations, or no dreams. Do you have a dream? Have you taken the first step of your journey? If not, I challenge you to make today your turing point and defining moment in your life. There are so many who have had dreams and gone on to live them. A great artist once said: “The greater danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.” If you allow the brilliance and genius within you to spring forth your life will take on new meaning and impact —for yourself and for your world. What is your dream? Identify it and make it real Make today your turning point in defining your life.TGIF (Thank God it’s Friday)! What’s your spare time gig? What’s your spare time gig? clubs and societies? Sports ? Basketball ? Come on, guys! We are the best of CUBA! (I love this game!) Prefer to stay in the dorm listening to music ? What’s that? Michael Learns to Rock or Backstreet Boys? party time again. Meet people and make new friends. Oh? You’d rather just hang out? You won’t be bored anyhow .How do you understand the idea of living on your own? You may have felt very much 1.onyour own when you left home to enter college. A free bird out of its cage , now, eh? Is it really so? Think again. Are you able to pay the tuition by yourself? Can you really take care of all yourdaily needs? “I sure can. It’s a snap,” some might say. “Just find a part-time job, and everythingwill be OK.” Others may find traditional college life quite safe and convenient. Are you ready to take the risk?What are your key sources of information? Do you get most of your information by talking to other people? People could already do that in the Stone Age. When the printing press was invented several hundred years ago, written sources became important to anyone who could read. Now we read magazines and newspapers as much as we read books. But we also get a lot of information from electronic sources. Radio is not yet 100 years old, television has only been popular for about 50 years, and the . Internetis younger than all the students in this class. Yet these are some of our favorites. What you’re your favorites ? How many different sources of information do you use in a typical day?Everyone can do volunteer work. In fact, volunteers don’t get paid, but the rewards from their deeds are priceless and highly appreciated. One single volunteer is like a candle in the night for those who are in darkness. Certainly, as an individual we can’t do everything on our own but we should try to do whatever we can. Imagine the power of thousands of “candles”, and the great difference it will make in peopl e’s lives. As for those who bring light into the lives of others, surely someday they too may be in need of that same light they offered. Be a volunteer and feel the light.。

Zack interviews Annabel Jenkins.Zack: Welcome to “Techworld,” the show that keeps you informed on all the latest advances in technology. I’m your host, Zack Newton. Our first guest today is electronics wizard Annabel Jenkins. Thanks for joining us today, Annabel.Annabel: Thank you, Zack.Zack: What new invention do you have to show us?Annabel: It’s called the MeBot.Zack: And what does this MeBot do?Annabel: The MeBot helps students. The MeBot can go to class, sit in your desk, take notes, and even answer the teacher’s questions.Zack: Whoa, sounds great. And this MeBot kind of looks like you, too!Annabel: Yes, I make this MeBot to resemble me, my body, my face. Some people even think it’s me! Zack: So, Annabel, what do teachers think of the MeBot?Annabel: Oh, teachers love them. I think most teachers would love to have a class full of MeBots. Zack: All right. Well, Annabel. Are there any disadvantages to owning the MeBot?Annabel: Hmm, right now the main disadvantage is the cost. This MeBot would cost about two million U.S. dollars. Not every student can afford that.Zack: Yep, a little pricey. Well, thank you, Annabel, and good luck with the MeBot!Annabel: You’re welcome.Part.2. Zack interviews Angela Park.Zack: Our next guest is Angela Prak.Angela: Hi, Zack.Zack: Hi, Angela. Your invention is rather unique, I understand. It’s called the BoyMeter. Is that right? Angela: Yea, that’s right.Zack: And what does this BotMeter do, Angela?Angela: It tells you what a guy is really thinking. For example, if you ask a guy, “Do you like me?”and he answers, “Yes, I really like you,” you can find out if he’s telling the truth. Green light means he is telling the truth. Red light means he is telling a lie.Zack: Whoa! Very cool! How does it work?Angela: It’s really easy. You place the device near the guy’s mouth, and the meter does the rest. Zack: Fantastic! And it only works on boys, not girls?Angela: No, it works on both boys and girls, but I call it the BoyMeter, because so far I’ve only used it with boys.Zack: Ah, I see. Any disadvantages of the BoyMeter.Angela: It’s not reliable if the person has drunk too muck coffee or alcohol. Those things just confuse the meter.Zack: Oh, all right. Well, guys, be careful, and thank you, Angela. Well, that’s our show for today. Join me, Zack Newton, next week on “Techworld.” Until then, good-bye.Unit 5Warm Up1.I was in Spain for about a month.
