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?[来源:1ZXXK]‎ 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, the electricity used in the brewery, the equipment, the travel and commuting of the beer, and the packaging. It’s amazing how many different things need to be included in each calculation. And it’s 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 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.‎ ‎1. According to Berners-Lee, which of the following produces the most carbon dioxide？[来源:1]‎ A. A pint of imported beer we drink. B. A pint of local beer we drink.‎ C. The bacon we eat before a bike ride. D. A banana we eat before a bike ride. ‎ ‎2. Why are bananas good in general?‎ ‎ A. They don’t need packaging. B. They provide energy for cycling.‎ C. They produces less CO2. D. They grow naturally.‎ ‎3. The underlined word “brewery” in Paragraph 3 most probably means “___________”‎ A. one of the things from which beer is made B. a machine which makes beer ‎ C. a container where beer is stored D. a factory where beer is made ‎4. To make our carbon footprints smaller, we should often ___________.‎ ‎ A. calculate the amount of CO2 B. cycle to work ‎ C. drink more local beer D. buy cheap things from the supermarkets ‎5. What’s the most suitable title for the passage?‎ A. The Carbon Footprint of Everything B. Starting to Make Changes C. Bikes, Beer and Bananas D. How Big Is Your Carbon Footprint? ‎ 参考答案 1-5: ACDBD ‎ ‎*******************************************************结束 He came into the room to shut the windows while we were still in bed and I saw he looked ill. He was shivering, his face was white, and he walked slowly as though it ached to move.‎ ‎"What's the matter, Schatz?"‎ ‎"I've got a headache."‎ ‎"You better go back to bed."‎ ‎"No. I'm all right."‎ ‎"You go to bed. I'll see you when I'm dressed."‎ But when I came downstairs he was dressed, sitting by the fire, looking a very sick and miserable boy of nine years. When I put my hand on his forehead I knew he had a fever.‎ ‎"You go up to bed," I said, "You're sick."‎ ‎"I'm all right," he said.‎ When the doctor came he took the boy's temperature.‎ ‎"What's is it?" I asked him.‎ ‎"One hundred and two."‎ Downstairs, the doctor left three different medicines in different colored capsules with instructions for giving them. One was to bring down the fever, another a purgative(泻药), the third to overcome an acid condition. The germs of influenza（流感）can only exist in an acid condition, he explained. He seemed to know all about influenza and said there was nothing to worry about if the fever did not go above one hundred and four degrees. This was a light epidemic(传染病；传染性的) of flu and there was no danger if you avoided pneumonia（肺炎）.‎ Back in the room I wrote the boy's temperature down and made a note of the time to give the various capsules.‎ ‎"Do you want me to read to you?"‎ ‎"All right. If you want to, " said the boy. His face was very white and there were dark areas under his eyes. He lay still in the bed and seemed very detached（超然的；冷漠的）from what was going on.‎ I read aloud from Howard Pyle's Book of Pirates（海盗）;but I could see he was not following ‎ what I was reading.‎ ‎"How do you feel, Schatz?" I asked him.‎ ‎"Just the same, so far," he said.‎ I sat at the foot of the bed and read to myself while I waited for it to be time to give another capsule. It would have been natural for him to go to sleep, but when I looked up he was looking at the foot of the bed, looking very strangely.‎ ‎"Why don't you try to sleep? I'll wake you up for the medicine."‎ ‎"I'd rather stay awake."‎ After a while he said to me, "You don't have to stay in here with me, Papa, if it bothers you."‎ ‎"It doesn't bother me."‎ ‎"No, I mean you don't have to stay if it's going to bother you."‎ I thought perhaps he was a little lightheaded and after giving him the prescribed capsules at eleven o'clock I went out with my gun and the young hunting dog….I killed two quail(鹌鹑), and missed five, and started back pleased to have found a covey of quail close to the house and happy there were so many left to find on another day. ‎ At the house they said the boy had refused to let anyone come into the room.‎ ‎"You can't come in," he said. "You mustn't get what I have."‎ I went up to him and found him in exactly the position I had left him, white-faced, but with the tops of his cheeks flushed（发红）by the fever, staring still, as he had stared, at the foot of the bed.‎ I took his temperature.‎ ‎"What is it?"‎ ‎"Something like a hundred," I said. It was one hundred and two and four tenths.‎ ‎"It was a hundred and two," he said.‎ ‎"Who said so?"‎ ‎"The doctor."‎ ‎"Your temperature is all right," I said. "It's nothing to worry about."‎ ‎"I don't worry," he said, "but I can't keep from thinking."‎ ‎"Don't think," I said. "Just take it easy."[来源:学§科§网Z§X§X§K]‎ ‎"I'm taking it easy," he said and looked straight ahead, He was evidently holding tight onto himself about something.‎ ‎"Take this with water."‎ ‎"Do you think it will do any good?"‎ ‎"Of course it will."‎ I sat down and opened the Pirate book and began to read, but I could see he was not following, so I stopped.‎ ‎"About what time do you think I'm going to die?" he asked.‎ ‎"What?"[来源:1]‎ ‎"About how long will it be before I die?"‎ ‎"You aren't going to die. What's the matter with you? "‎ ‎"Oh, yes, I am, I heard him say a hundred and two."‎ ‎"People don't die with a fever of one hundred and two. That's a silly way to talk."‎ ‎"I know they do. At school in France the boys told me you can't live with forty-four degrees. I've got a hundred and two."‎ He had been waiting to die all day, ever since nine o'clock in the morning.‎ ‎"You poor Schatz," I said. "Poor old Schatz. It's like miles and kilometers. You aren't going to die. That's different thermometer. On that thermometer thirty-seven is normal. On this kind it's ninety-eight."[来源:学,科,网]‎ ‎"Are you sure?"‎ ‎"Absolutely," I said, "It's like miles and kilometers. You know, like how many kilometers we make when we do seventy miles in the car?"‎ ‎"Oh," he said.‎ But his gaze at the foot of the bed relaxed slowly. The hold over himself relaxed too, finally, and the next day it was very slack(松驰的) and he cried very easily at little things that were of no importance.‎ ‎15.
