lights out on Wednesday in an effort to raise awareness of global warming，with six Bangkok neighborhoods joining into partial darkness for 15 minutes.Officials ranged two million of the citys residents to join in switching off nonessential lights at 700 pm.(1200 GMT) to alert Thais to the illeffects of climate change.At downtown shopping mall Central World Plaza，Thais put away their credit cards for a moment to consider their energy consumption，as lights dimmed.“I waste a lot of energy at home，for example，I turn my television on while spending two hours on the Internet，” said an 18yearold student.“From now on，I will turn off the TV.”There was only partial darkness in Bangkoks central shopping district，with some malls and hotels ignoring the request，but it was enough to make business owner Somas Thanyatote think about his energy habits.“I will turn off the air conditioner and use the electric fan or open the windows instead，” the 58yearold told AFP.“Street lights and other securityrelated lighting remained on and there will also be more police on duty in case that crimes increased.” Governor Apirak Kosayedhin said.Bangkok，a city with a population of 12 million，spews more than 26 million tons of carbon dioxide into the air each year，or nearly 20 percent of Thailands total CO2 emissions.Bangkoks lightsout campaign included a public screening in a downtown shopping district of the Oscarwinning documentary “An Inconvenient Truth” by former US vicepresident Al Gore.Australian city Sydney held a similar exercise in April，with a onehour blackout observed by 65,000 homes and 2,000 businesses，which organisers estimated cut normal energy use by 10 percent.1Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?AA Power Failure in BangkokBBangkoks Campaign to Remind Its Residents of Global WarmingCPeoples Attitudes toward Global WarmingDCarbon Dioxidethe Major Factor of Global Warming2How many tons are the total CO2 emissions of Thailand?A12 million tons. B26 million tons.C60 million tons.
