Five Ways to Go Green and Save Green
Climate change is in the news. It seems like everyone's “going green.” We're glad you want to take action too. Luckily many of the steps we can take to stop climate change can make our lives better. Let's start now.
Save energy to save money.
Set your thermostat（恒温器）degrees lower in the winter and a few degrees higher in the summer to save on heating and cooling costs.
1. As much as 85 percent of the energy used to machine-wash clothes goes to heat the water.
Unplug (拔掉……的电源插头) electrical equipment when you're not using it.
Save water to save money.
Take shorter showers to reduce water use. This will lower your water and heating bills too.
Plant drought-tolerant (耐旱的) native plants in your garden. 2.Find out about these plants in your area.
Fix a low-flow showerhead. They don't cost much and the water and energy savings can quickly pay back your money.
3.
Walk or bike to work. This saves on gas and parking costs while improving your health and reducing your risk of being fat.
Eat smart.
If you eat meat, add one meatless meal a week. Meat costs a lot at the store and it's even more expensive when you consider the related environmental and health costs.
4.Purchasing from local farmers keeps money in the local economy.
Avoid bottled water.
5.
Use a water filter (过滤器) to make drinking water instead of buying bottled water. Not only is bottled water expensive but it causes large amounts of container waste.
A. When speaking of something to eat, try local products whenever you can.
B. Our grandchildren and their children will thank us for living green.
C. Bring a reusable water bottle with you when traveling or at work.
D. Wash clothes in cold water whenever possible.
E. Less gas = more money and better health!
F. Move a little nearer to your work.
G. Many plants need little watering.
What is eBay? The simple answer is that it is a global trading platform(贸易平台) where nearly anyone can trade practically anything. People can sell and buy all kinds of products and goods, including cars, movies and DVDs, sporting goods, travel tickets, musical instruments, clothes and shoes—the list goes on and on.
The idea came from Peter Omidyar, who was born in Paris and moved to Washington when he was still a child. At high school, he became very interested in computer programming and after graduating from Tufts University in 1988, he worked for the next few years as a computer engineer. In his free time he started eBay as a kind of hobby, at first offering the service free by word of mouth. By 1996 there was so much traffic on the website that he had to upgrade(升级) and he began charging a fee to members. Joined by a friend, Peter Skill, and in 1998 by his capable CEO, Meg Whitman, he has never looked back. EBay has gone from strength to strength. It is now one of the ten most visited online shopping websites on the Internet.
eBay sells connections, not goods, putting buyer and seller into contact with each other. All you have to do is make an e-photo, write a description, fill out a sales form and you are in business: the world is your market place. Of course for each item sold eBay gets a percentage and that is great deal of money. Every day there are more than sixteen million items listed on eBay and eighty percent of the items are sold.
1.We learn from the text that eBay provides people with_______.
A. a place to exhibit their own photos B. a website for them to upgrade
C. a way of buying and selling goods D. a chance to buy things at low prices
2.Why did Peter create eBay after graduating from university?
A. To make money. B. For fun.
C. For gathering the engineers. D. To finish a task of his company.
3.From “he has never looked back” in Paragraph 2, we learn that Peter______.
A. did not feel lonely B. was always hopeful
C. became more and more successful D. did not think about the past
4.How does eBay make money from its website?
A. By bringing callers together. B. By making e-photos.
C. By listing items online D. By charging for each sale
