How often do you travel by plane?

How much electricity do you use? These days everyone is worried about the size

of their carbon footprint．In order to reduce global warming we need to make our carbon

footprints smaller．But how much CO2 are we responsible for?

A new book by Mike Berners Lee 〔a leading expert in carbon footprint〕 might

be able to help．How Bad are Bananas? The Carbon Footprint of Everything looks at

the different things we do and buy, and calculates the amount of CO2 all of the following

created: the ingredients 〔=parts of a mixture〕, the electricity used in the brewery,

the equipment, the travel and commuting 〔交换〕 of the beer, and the packaging．It’s

amazing how many different things need to be included in each calculation．And it’s word

- 3 - / 10 frightening how much carbon dioxide everything produces．

But all of this can help us decide which beer to drink．From Berners-Lee’s

calculations, it’s clear that a pint 〔568ml〕 of locally-brewed beer has a smaller

carbon footprint than a bottle of imported beer．This is because the imported beer

has been transported from far away, and it uses more packaging．The local beer only

produces 300g of CO2, but the imported beer produces 900g! So, one pint of local beer

is better for the environment than three cans of cheap foreign lager 〔淡啤酒〕 from

the supermarket．

Berners-Lee has even calculated the carbon footprint of cycling to work．Nothing

is more environmentally-friendly than riding a bike, surely? Well, it depends on what

you’ve had to eat before．To ride a bike we need energy and for energy we need food．So

if we eat a banana and then ride a kilometer and a half, our footprint is 65g of

CO2．However, if we eat bacon before the bike ride, it’s 200g．In fact, bananas are

good in general because they don’t need packaging, they can be transported by boat

and they grow in natural sunlight．

So, does this mean that cycling is bad for the environment? Absolutely not, for

a start, if you cycle, you don’t use your car, and the fewer cars on the road, the

fewer traffic jams．And cars in traffic jams produce three times more CO2 than cars

traveling at speed．Cycling also makes you healthy and less likely to go to a

hospital．And hospitals have very big carbon footprints!

So maybe it’s time for us all to start making some changes．Pass me a banana

and a pint of local beer, please．

5．According to Berners-Lee, which of the following produces the most carbon dioxide？

A．A pint of local beer we drink．

阅读理解------A 篇

Sandra Cisneros was born in Chicago in 1954 to a Mexican American family. As the only girl in a family of seven children, she

often felt like she had “seven fathers,” because her six brothers, as well as her father, tried to control her. Feeling shy and unimportant, she retreated(躲避) into books. Despite her love of reading, she did not do well in elementary school because she was too shy to participate.

In high school, with the encouragement of one particular teacher, Cisneros improved her grades and worked for the school literary magazine. Her father encouraged her to go to college because her thought it would be a good way for her to find a husband. Cisneros did attend college, but instead of searching for a husband,

she found a teacher who helped her join the famous graduate writing program at the University of Iowa. At the university’s Writers’ Workshop, however, she felt lonely----a Mexican American from a poor neighborhood among students from wealthy families. The feeling of being so different helped Cisneros find her “Creative voice.”

The news that China bans time-travel TV dramas and movies got a lot of attention on the Internet. Yet, time travel in China is different from time travel in common sense．It is anything but science fiction and always goes backwards in time．There is minimum imagination involved----no never-ending loops that mess up the present and future, no advanced technology, no new social orders or new human forms from the twenty-whatever century, and everything is a known historical fact when you travel through in China．

It is not even called time travel. The Chinese people would rather refer to it as time crossover．Time crossover has been an extremely popular theme for online novels for years （in fact , it is

an indispensible part of China’s online culture）, and didn’t get

Recent studies suggest that family arrangements in Western societies have not changed as much in the last few centuries as is generally believed. Yet most sociologists agree that in modern

societies, there are fewer opportunities for friendship and support from relatives. Parents and children often live apart from other relatives, and seldom visit them. Also, the family moves when

a parent accepts a job in another place or when it decides to live in a better neighbourhood. Together, loneliness and mobility (迁移) force immediate family members to depend heavily on one

another for affection and companionship.

Because the family is one of the few ongoing sources of affection and companionship in modern societies, a high percentage of people continue to marry, even though it is possible for a single man and woman to live together without marrying. On the other hand, because affection and companionship have become so important, families are more likely to break up if the husband’s or wife’s emotional (情感的) needs are not met within the family circle—even if all other family functions (功能) are being satisfactorily performed, and in this sense, affection and companionship have become the touchstone of the modern family.

The Board Meeting had come to an end. Bob started to stand up and knocked into

the table, spilling his coffee over his notes. “How embarrassing! I am getting so

clumsy in my old age.”

Everyone had a good laugh, and soon we were all telling stories of our most

embarrassing moments. It came around to Frank who sat quietly listening to the others.

Someone said, “Come on, Frank. Tell us your most embarrassing moment.”

Frank laughed and began to tell us of his childhood. “I grew up in San Pedro.

My Dad was a fisherman, and he loved the sea. He had his own boat, but it was hard

making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough

to feed the family. Not just enough for our family, but also for his Mom and Dad and

the other kids that were still at home.”
