A Fable For TomorrowThere was once a town In the heart of America where all life seemed to live in harmony with its surroundings. The town lay in the midst of a checkerboard of prosperous farms, with fields of grain and hillsides of orchards where, in spring, white clouds of bloom drifted above the green fields. In autumn, oak and maple and birch set up a blaze of colour that flamed and flickered across a backdrop of pines. Then foxes barked in the hills and deer silently crossed the field, half hidden in the mists of the autumn mornings.明天的寓言从前在美国中心有一个小镇，那里的万物看上去都与其四周的环境融洽相处。
小镇的四周是像棋盘交错的兴旺的农庄，还有一块块的田地和一座座遍布山坡的果园。
春天来了，白色的鲜花云彩般地漂浮在绿色的田野上；秋天到了，橡树、枫树和桦树色彩斑斓，在一片松树林间火焰般地燃烧与跳跃。
小山上狐狸吠叫，田野间小鹿静静地跃过，所有的一切都在秋天清晨的薄雾中半隐半现。
Along the roads, laurel, viburnum and alder, great ferns and wild flowers, delighted the traveler’s eye through much of the year. Even in winter the roadsides were places of beauty, where countless birds came to feed on the berries and on the seed heads of the dried weeds rising above the snow. The countryside was, in fact, famous for the abundance and variety of its bird life, and when the flood of migrants was pouring through in spring and autumn people travelled from great distances to observe them. Others came to fish the streams, which flowed clear and cold out of the hills and contained shady pools where trout lay. So it had been from the days many years ago when the first settlers raised their houses, sank their wells and built their barns.在路的两旁，一年中许多时候，月桂树、荚莲、桤木、蕨类植物和各样的野花都能让过往的行人赏心悦目。

People around the world listen to it, play it, and appreciate it. However, world music is a subject that receives little attention in the West. Unfortunately, it's common for people in the United States and Great Britain to be completely unfamiliar with the many styles of music found in countries around the world. One of the most different, yet nonetheless beautiful, styles of music is found in Mongolia.Traditional Mongolian music uses a range of instruments, many of which are unique variations of instruments familiar to other cultures, such as the horse head fiddle, lute, trumpet, flute, zither, and drums. The most unique and well-known components of traditional Mongolian music, however, are the solo singing styles known as khuumii and urtiin duu.Khuumii, or throat singing, is performed without instrumental accompaniment, comes from deep in the throat, and produces the effect of two distinct notes at the same time. Khuumii developed in western Mongolia and the present-day Russian Republic of Tuva. The open expanse of the landscape in these regions was favorable for this type of singing, which allowed voices to travel long distances with minimal effort. Today, throat singing has become internationally known. However, many of the acts recording music and traveling the world are from Russia. Though many Mongolians still enjoy listening to and singing traditional music, young people (like those in many countries) tend to prefer modern pop music.Urtiin duu dates back to the 13th century, when the style was practised as a professional art. Urtiin duu relates intricate stories about the natural beauty of the land and the rituals of daily life. The vocal style is similar to khuumii in that it takes a talented, practised singer in order to perform well. The sounds are drawn-out and require extreme control of the singer's breath. Some examples of this style have been recorded to have as many as 20,000 verses, thus earning the name"long songs."41. "Music is almost a universal pastime." Which of the following statements has the samemeaning as this?A. Music is a leisure activity found around the world.B. Music is a required activity found around the world.C. Music is a leisure activity found in a few places around the world.D. Music is a required activity found in a few places around the world.42.

?第八单元保护我们的生活环境课文A????保护大自然固然裨益良多，但代价也不菲。
当我们决定在保护环境方面应该走多远的时候，该如何协调这两者间的关系呢?为了人类自身拯救自然查尔斯·克劳特哈默????环境意识，就如同对民主制度的信奉，或是对尼龙的厌恶，已成为当今上流社会一种必备的态度。
可是，在人人都有权利热爱地球母亲的情况下，面对以保护环境的名义而提出的许许多多相互冲突的建议、限制、规定、工程和法律，我们该如何选择呢?很显然，并不是每一件声称保护环境的事都值得去做。
那我们该如何选择呢???有一种简单的选择方法。
首先，要区分是出于对环境的奢侈追求还是出于环境保护之必需。
对环境的奢侈追求指的是那些如果不需花费代价则不妨拥有的事物。
环境保护之必需指的是无论花多大的代价我们都必须做的事情。
然后，再运用一条法则。
姑且称之为理智环境保护论的基本原理：遏制直接危害人们健康与安全的生态变化，是环境保护之必需。
其他一切均为奢侈追求。
?????例姐通过保护臭氧层和遏止温室效应来保护大气层是环境保护之必需。
科学家们在4月份报告说，臭氧层破坏之严重远远超出过去的估计。
臭氧的减少不仅导致皮肤癌和白内障，而且摧毁浮游生物，那是我们人类赖以生存的食物链的第一环。
??温室效应的现实情况是怎样目前难以确定，但可能产生的后果破坏性更大：冰帽融化，海岸线被洪水淹没，气候反常，平原干涸，进而最终粮仓空匮。
美国中西部是为全世界提供粮食的地方。
我们是否愿意眼看着爱荷华州出现阿尔伯克基的气候，而西伯利亚则出现爱荷华州的气候呢???臭氧减少与温室效应都是人类的灾难。
两者恰好都属于环境的范围。
但这两种情况都很紧迫，因为它们直接威胁着人类。
理智的环境保护论，亦即惟一能赢得公众普遍支持的环境保护论首先坦然指出，大自然是为人类服务的。
理智的环境保护论完全是以人为本的：它呼吁人类保护自然，但其目的是自我保护。
??理智的环境保护论对地球不感情用事。
