Support for renewable energy technology to figllt global warming is weakening in the face of
worldwide economic problems and the true scale of the carbon reductions required,a survey pub-
lished today has suggested.
Figures presented at the UN climate talks in Poznan,Poland,show that climate experts have
less faitll in alternative energy than they did 12 months ago.
The survey shows less support for wind energy,solar power,biofuels,biomass and hydrogen
energy as technologies with“high potential”to reduce carbon levels in the atmosphere over the next
25 years.
Eric Whan of Globesean,which carried out t}le survey of“climate decision makers”.said.
“As the climate crisis deepens they could be becoming less optimistic that individual technologies
may be able to solve the problem.’’
The survey,supported by groups including the World Bank,the United Nations Environment
Programme and the Pew Center for Global Climate Change,questioned l,000 senior figures across

eonomic growth and development and significant progress in combating(与…斗争)climate change
Call be achieved at the salne time.’’

As school fl,tats again,there’s SO much mole for an American parent to nag(唠叨)about,like
homework,bedtime and lost hours on the Intemet.But in the age of digital childhood,Jacky Long-well,45,of McLean,Virginia,often text—messages(发短信)what she OnCe told her children bymouth_"Be nice to your brother;walk the dog;remember your reading.
This is the world of the modem family,in which even reminding children to do something has
become electronic.
There are changes in how parents nag and in what they nag about and in the frequency of their
nagging.
With technology,“you nag more,and you are a little bit more:precise with your nagging.’’said
Reginald Black,46,of Woodbridge,Virginia.
For many young people,electronic nagging is part of the experience of growing up.Charles Flowers,17,131.$enior at St.John“College High School in Washington.says his mothel-reminds him about everything from laundry,being Oil time to baseball practice and mowing the lawn by text.
When she uses capitals he knows she is serious:GET HOME!
Some say technology has made nagging less annoying.
Jaeky Longwell thinks texts ale less emotional than spoken messages and less likely to be resisted by teenagers.
It’s not as painful for them to hear it by text.It becomes grouped with the friendly communication,”she said.“They can’t hear the nagging.”
She thinks a good way to do it is to mix friendliness with nagging.A parent Call always start by
saying hello.
Not all parents like the new electronic r,agging.Joyce Bouehard,51,a mother of four in Fairfax,Virginia,texts her 14一year—old son but says that for many things — chores,homework— the
old—fashioned way works better.Nagging by text has risks,she notes:I always think,if you are texting them something and they are with their friends,they ale getting a big laugh out of it.’’

How does it happen that children learn their mother tongue SO well?When we compare them
With adults learning a foreign language,we often find this interesting fact.A little child without
knowledge or experience often succeeds in a complete mastery of the language.A grown—up person with fully developed mental powers,in most cases,may end up with a faulty and inexact corflllland.What accounts for tllis difference?
Despite other explanations。tlle real answer in my opinion hes partly in the child himself,partly in the behaviour of the people around him.In the first place,the time of learning the mother tongue in the most favorable of all,namely,the first years of hfe.A child hears it spoken from morning till night and,what is more important,always in its genuine form,with the right pronunciation,rightIntonation,right use of words and right structure.He drinksin all the words and expressions which come to him in a hsh.ever—bubbhng spring.There is no resistance:there is perfect assimilation.
Then the child has,as it were,private lessons all the year round,while an adult language—
student has each week a limited number of hours which he generally shares with others.The child
has another advantage:he hears the language in all possible situations,always accompanied by the
right kind of gestures and facial expressions.Here there is nothing unnatural,such as is often found
In language lessons in schools,when one talks about ice and snow in June or scorching heat in January And what a child hears is generally what immediately interests him.Again and again,when his attempts at speech a聪successful,his desires are understood and fulfilled.
Finally,though a child’S“teachers”may not have been trained in language teaching,their re-
lations with him are always close and personal.ney take great pains to Inske their lessons easy.
60.’rhe main idea of the passage is——.
A.to tell why the native language is learnt SO well by children

A.children are more indiligent than adults
B.adults pay less attention to learning/anguages than children.
