When you work out a carbon footprint(碳足迹)，a lot of factors are taken into consideration. For example, driving to the grocery store bums a certain amount of fuel, and fossil fuels are the primary sources of greenhouse gases. But that grocery store is powered by electricity, and its employees probably drive to work, so the store has its own carbon footprint. In addition, the products that the store sells were all shipped there, so that must also be factored into the total carbon footprint. Beyond that, the fruits. Vegetables, and meats that the store sells were all grown or raised on farms-a process that produces methane(甲烷)，which has a greenhouse effect 25 times greater than CO. All of those elements must be combined to understand the full carbon footprint of a given activity. Although adding up one's own carbon footprint can be difficult, online calculators can do some of the work for you,giving a rough estimate(估算)of your carbon footprint based on the size of your household, the efficiency of your machines, how much you drive or fly, what you eat, and how much you recycle This isn't perfect, but it is a good way to measure your activities so you can know roughly how much CO2 they produce and take steps to reduce your carbon footprint. Methods of reducing your carbon footprint include driving more efficient vehicles (or making sure that your current vehicles are properly maintained), taking public transportation, using energy efficient machines, building your home with special materials to reduce heating and air conditioning costs. consuming food that doesn't require as much transportation, and eating less meat which has a higher carbon footprint than fruits and vegetables. People and companies can also offset some of their CO2, emissions(排放)by purchasing carbon credits, the money from which can go into projects such as planting trees or investing in renewable energy. 1.By giving the example of the grocery store, the author wants to tell us that____ A.driving to the store burns a certain amount of fuel B.the greenhouse effect of methane is greater than that of CO2 C.the fossil fuels are the primary sources of greenhouse gases D.many factors need to be considered when figuring out a carbon footprint 2.Which of the following best explains the underlined word ''offset'' in the last paragraph? A.make up for B.make sense of C.take control of D.catch up with 3.The passage is mainly about____ A.whether it is possible to reduce the carbon footprint B.what we can do to figure out the carbon footprint C.how to estimate and reduce the carbon footprint D.why we should reduce the carbon footprint

Speaking in an interview, Naveen Jain, founder of a space exploration company called Moon Express, said that he believes moon travel is just a decade away. And his company, which is the first private firm to get approval from the U.S. government to carry out the project of moon travel, wants to play a role in helping people get to the moon surface. ''I believe in the next ten years, there is going to be gentlemen on their knees asking their sweethearts, honey, will you go to the moon with me for honey moon?'' Jain said in the interview. Many people in the technology and scientific communities are crazy about space exploration. Space presents an unprecedented(史无前例的)number of chances for scientific and human advancement. Companies, big and small, are determining how they can create technologies that would allow people to explore space, the moon, and even Mars. Other companies are eyeing ways to play a role in space travel. The key of that gold rush has been the declining cost of actually getting to space. Jain said that while it once cost billions of dollars to go to the moon, his company's unmanned space flight next year will cost just 7 million. As costs continue to decline(减少),he believes that within the next decade, getting to the moon will cost just $10,000.Better yet, it'll take just four hours to get there. Still, Mars is the final prize. And even Jain, whose company will focus on moon travel, said that ''Mars is certainly the right place to be finally. '' When asked if he'd like to stage space fights to Mars, Jain said ''of course'', adding that he believes Moon Express could partner with Elon Musk's SpaceX to make that happen. ''Elon will build the rocket and we do the travelers,'' Jain said of a theoretical partnership. ''Generally, he lays the cables and we do the last mile.'' SpaceX and Musk have not said whether they would work alongside Jain and Moon Express. Either way, it looks like hopping from the moon to Mars (and back) might be just a part of our lives. 1.We can learn about moon travel from the passage that A.it will take less time and money B.it is already available for all C.few people are interested in it D.its future is not bright at all 2.What does the author mean by saying ''Mars is the final prize''? A.Mars is the final destination difficult but valuable to reach. B.Mars is the final destination expensive but easy to reach. C.Mars is the first destination to choose for space travelers. D.Mars is the last destination to choose for space travelers. 3.What can we learn from the passage? A.Moon Express is certainly an ideal partner for SpaceX. B.SpaceX hasn't decided to cooperate with Moon Express. C.Moon Express and SpaceX used to be close partners. D.SpaceX has been successful in moon travel exploration. 4.The passage above is most probably taken from the ______section of a newspaper. A.entertainment B.education C.technology D.literature

I remember her words,almost as if they were spoken yesterday. Mrs.Mabel Price,our high school teacher in that little town of Westminster,in Western Maryland,said, “You belong in college,and I’m going to do everything I can to get you there.” For me,college was something out of the question,something on a far distant planet,something only， those people who had special rights did.I said,”I can’t go to college because I don’t have the money. There’s no way I could afford it.I’m going to join the army.” Even though I was graduating at the top of my class in that small town,and enjoyed the experience of learning and thinking,I was used to a long tradition of experience in my family.We were people of limited means,and three of my four older brothers had gone off to join the army. “Being an army man is a perfectly respectable way of life,”she said,”but you have a gift that can make a difference in the world.I want you to continue your education.I think I can get you into Johns Hopkins University.And I’m working on the money.”Finally,I was off to college. One day I was walking from the parking lot to my first class,talking with my friend and classmate,and we passed by a group of men who were digging a deep ditch(沟渠)。Suddenly,I knew why I was in college. She was right-I had been given a gift that could take me to wonderful places.I decided then and there that I preferred to make my living with my brain rather than my back.I had been given a choice they didn’t have:an education. Some years ago,as I reflected on the experience for many times,it occurred to me:”Maybe I could locate Mrs.Price.Maybe she’s still living in Westminster.I could go back there and visit her,bring her a gift,and really let her know how much I’m thankful for what she had done for me.” So,I began to search online for information about where she might be.I soon discovered an article about her death,published in the Baltimore Sun and dated October 8,2001. I suppose the lesson for me in this story-or one of the lessons-is this:If you love someone;if you thank them;if you’re grateful to them-tell them now.One day it will be too late. Well...anyway...Mrs.Price,wherever you are-thank you. 1.What problem did the author have when finishing high school? A.He had no right to go to college. B.He couldn’t afford to go to college. C.He had to follow his teacher’s advice. D.He had no choice but to join the army. 2.We can infer from Paragraph 5 that A.the author studied so hard in college B.the author looked down upon the workers C.the author mistook Mrs.Price when young D.the author realized the importance of knowledge 3.Years later,the author tried to find Mrs.Price because he wanted A.to give her a hand B.to give her money back C.to express his thanks to her D.to share his successful story 4.Which of the following best describes Mrs.Price as a teacher? A.Selfish but friendly. B.Mean but active. C.Warm-hearted and helpful. D.Kind and brave. 5.What can be a suitable title for the passage? A.Be yourself B.Thank you,Mrs.Price C.Hold on D.Goodbye,Mrs.Price

Do You Have’ Social Jet Lag(社交时差)？ People who have different sleep patterns on the weekends than they do during the work week may experience “social jet lag”.1. For every hour of social jet lag, the risk of being overweight or obese rises about 33%,says researcher Till Roenneberg, PhD, a professor at the Institute of Medical Psychology at the University of Munich. Roenneberg, who created the term, says social jet lag is caused by the shift in sleep schedule that many people experience on their days off, compared to work days.2. It goes like this: You don’t have to get up for work so you don’t take trouble setting the alarm. That means you get up an hour or two later than you might during the work week.3. As a result, many people get more sleep on their days off than they do during the week, and they sleep on a slightly different schedule-a schedule that is closer to their body’s natural rhythms. 4. “The behavior looks like most people on a Friday evening fly from Paris to New York or from Los Angeles to Tokyo and on Monday they fly back. Since this looks like almost a travel jet lag situation, we call it social jet lag.” he says. 5.When you arrive in a different place, the sun is coming up and setting at a different time, and your body can reset its own clock to match. With social jet lag, the schedule disturbance is lasting because a person stays in the same place. “They have to live a life almost in a different time zone in comparison to their biological clock,”Ronneberg says. A.Sleep, he thinks ,should get more respect. B.He guesses that it affects about two-thirds of the population. C.A key difference between travel jet lag and social jet lag, however, is light. D.And depending on what type of person you are, the difference can be significant. E.Roenneberg explains switching sleep schedules this way feels like changing time zones. F.A new study shows this shift in sleep schedule is connected with obesity. G.You may also push your bedtime back so you can go out with friends.
