A typical family can reduce its carbon dioxide footprint by 85kg a year if everyone goes to bed and gets up one hour earlier, according to the campaign.The amount of carbon dioxide emissions saved from going to bed an hour early was equal to 20 percent of annual (每年的) emissions from household lights.“Many Japanese people waste electrical power at nighttime, for example by watching TV until very late ， ” a ministry spokesperson told The Daily Telegraph.“But going to bed early and getting up early can avoid wasting electrical power which causes carbon dioxide emissions.”The campaign also suggests that people take advantage of an extra hour of morning sunlight by improving their lifestyles in general through running, doing yoga and eating a nutritious breakfast. It is the latest action dealing with climate change by the Japanese Environment Ministry, which is faced with the challenge of reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 25 percent from 1990 levels within the next decade. It was the same government department that had the Cool Bussiness campaign 5 years ago, which encourages workers to wear shortsleeved shirts and offices not to turn air conditioning lower than 28 degrees Celsius during the summer. 1．What is the main idea of the passage?

Book 6Unit 4Global warmingⅠ.阅读理解(2018·河北保定二模)Given the recent interest in green buildings in the media，let’s think differently.Instead of focusing on increasing the supply of energy，what if we focus on reducing demand?Can we start with ending the open-door practice of street-front shops? While cool air from these shops is refreshing to pedestrians，it carries a cost.Energy is used in the air conditioning process.So it must be possible to look for changes in regulations that would encourage more energy-saving designs.For instance，if we fix ceiling fans，air-conditioning homes could surely be avoided for part of the year.Ceiling fans use far less energy.They were common in buildings before air conditioners were available.I wonder how many hours in a year air conditioners could stay if ceiling fans were fixed.In homes built under the small-house policy in New Territories，the ceiling may be too low for ceiling fans.If the 9-meter maximum building height regulation were relaxed，ceiling fans could be fixed to reduce energy use.Current thinking in sustainable building design and operation involves integrated(协调统一的) design；that is，bring together all parties to create a building with better performance that achieves energy reduction.For integrated design to succeed，all parties must come together and think beyond each person’s circle of influence.Better solutions are impossible to avoid with integrated design.Buildings would no longer be engineered after the basic architecture was built.Positive project outcomes may include reduced air-conditioning load，reduced power use for electric lighting，and a reduction in the amount of materials used.We need to ask if we are ready to look beyond our own small circles and seek an improved approach to building design.By that I mean an integrated design resulting in more sustainable buildings.1.What’s the author’s attitude towards the open-door practice of the street shops?A.Supportive.B.Disapproving.C.Optimistic.D.Uncaring.答案B解析观点态度题。
