Now, are you changing your living habits to have a low carbon life? Here are some strategies (策略) for you.
Strategy One
●Each week, choose one day when you don’t eat meat. Meat takes up lots of energy because it takes a long time to produce. And animals must be fed on farmed plants, which could be used to feed many more people.
Strategy Two
●Only buy the amount of food you need. When you buy food, go local rather than imported (進(jìn)口的), and get fresh vegetables instead of frozen.
Strategy Three
●Make sure you keep the things such as paper and plastic bottles separate (獨(dú)立) so that they can be recycled. There are places where you can recycle batteries. Make sure you find them.
Strategy Four
●Take showers rather than baths and reduce your shower time by two minutes. This will save water and give you an extra two minutes in bed.
Strategy Five
●Buses and trains are better than cars, but walking or cycling is better still. It’s also better for your health and cheaper. It can even be quicker than sitting in a car at rush hours in a busy city. For long distances, coaches are better than trains.
Strategy Six
●Try to buy good, long-lasting products even though they may cost a little more. A small screen TV is better than a big screen. Keep your electronic products one year longer than you would usually have.
小題1:What does the underline phrase “l(fā)ow carbon” in paragraph one mean?
A．便宜B．低碳C．高效D．舒適

A．When we produce the meat, we need to take up lots of energy.
B．Taking showers in less time will help for saving the water.
C．When you go for a long-distance trip, you’d better drive your own car.
D．Buying the long-lasting products is a good idea to have a low carbon life.

A．It helps to know walking is one of the low carbon lives.
B．It helps to realize how important it is to have a low carbon life.
C．It advises to save water and electric to have a low carbon life.
D．It advises to kick some bad habits and have a low carbon life.

小題1:B
小題1:C
小題1:D

小題1:根據(jù)Strategy Five中“Buses and trains are better than cars, but walking or cycling is better still. It’s also better for your health and cheaper. ”可知C選項(xiàng)表述的不對。所以選C。
小題1:根據(jù)第一段“Now, are you changing your living habits to have a low carbon life?  Here are some strategies (策略) for you.”可知答案選D。

Hands play an important part in our daily life. But do you know which of your two hands you use more? Very few people use both hands equally well.  Most of us are right-handed.  Only about five people out of a hundred are left-handed.  New-born babies can take hold of things with either of their hands, but in about two years they usually use their right hands.  Scientists don’t know why this happens.
Monkeys are our close relatives in the animal world. Scientists have found that monkeys like to use one of their hands more than the other, but it can be either hand.  There are as many right-handed monkeys as left-handed ones.  Next time you visit a zoo, watch the monkeys carefully, you will see that some of them will use their right hands and others will use their left hands.  But most of the people use their right hands better and this makes life difficult for those left-handed people.  We live in a right-handed world.

A. 5%.     B. 50%.     C. 95%.

All students need to have good habits(好習(xí)慣): When you have good study habits, you learn things quickly. You also remember them easily.
Do you like to study in the living room? This is not a good place because it is usually too noisy. The telephone bell rings there; the TV is there, and sometimes it is a good place for your pet dog or cats to play and rest. You need to study in a quiet place, like your bedroom. A quiet place will help you only think about one thing, and you will learn better.
Before you begin to study, do not forget to clean your desk. A good desk light is important, too. You’ll feel tired easily if there is not enough light(光線). So you should have a clean and bright lamp. To tell you the truth, the most important is that you should put your heart into your study.
