It usually disappears in a magic way together with the tin.BWhat is the single most effective way to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions? Go vegetarian (素食)？ Replant the Amazon? Cycle to work? None of the above. The answer is: make air-conditioners better. On one calculation, replacing refrigerants (制冷剂）damaging the atmosphere would reduce total greenhouse gases equaling 90bn tonnes of CO2 by 2050. Making the units more energy-efficient could double that. By contrast; if half the world5s population gave up meat, it would save 66bn tonnes. Replanting two-thirds of tropical forests would save 61bn tonnes. A one-third increase in global bicycle journeys, just 2.3bn tonnes.Air-conditioning is one of the worlds great overlooked industries. Automobiles and air-coriditioners were invented at roughly the saine time, and both have had a huge impact on where people live and work. Unlike cars, though, air-conditioners have drawn little criticism for their social impact, emissions or energy efficiency. Most hot countries do not have rules to govern their energy use. There is not even a common English word for “coolth”（the opposite of warmth).Yet air-conditioning has done more than most things to benefit humankind. Lee Kuan Yew, the first prime minister of Singapore, called it “perhaps one of the signal inventions of history”.It has transformed productivity in the tropics (热带地区）and helped turn southern China, into the workshop of the World. In Europe, its spread has pushed down heat-related deaths to 10% since 2003, when 70,000 more people than usual, most of them elderly, died in a heatwave. For children,air-conditioned classrooms are associated with better grades at school. Environmentalists who call air-conditioning “a luxury we cannot afford”have half point,however .In the next years,as many air-conditioners will be installed (安装）around the world as were put in between 1902(invention)and 2005.Unless energy can be produced without carbon emissions,these extra machines will Warm the World .At the air-conditioners create a vieious cycle.The more the Earth warms,the more people need them.But the more there are,the warmer the world will be.Cutting the impact of cooling requires things.First air-conditioners must become much more efficient.The most energy-efficient models on the market today consume only about one-third as much electnicity as average ones, Minimum energy-performance standards need to be raised, or introduced in countries that lack them altogether, to push the average units performance closer to the standard of the best.Next,manufacturers should stop using damaging refrigerants. One type called hydronuoro- carbons, is over 1,000 times worse than carbon dioxide when it comes to trapping heat in the atmosphere. An international agreement to knock out these pollutants will come into force in 2019.Last, more could be done to design offices, malls and even cities so they do not need as many air-conditioners in the first place. More buildings should be built with overhanging roofs or balconies for shade, or with natural ventilation (自然通风).Simply painting roofs white can help keep temperatures down. Providing indoor air-conditioned comfort need not come at the expense of an overheating world.58. Whats the most effective way to reduce carbon gases?A.Planting more trees. B. Leading green lifestyles.C.Improving cooling systems. D. Buying new air-conditioners.59. What can we learn from Paragraphs 2 and 3?A. Air-conditioning enables factories to produce more in hot areas.B. The heat-related deaths have dropped by 10% since 2003 in Europe.C. There are many factories producing air-conditioners in southern China.D. Air-conditioners have received little criticism for they have no negative impact.60. Why do environmentalists call air-conditioning “a luxury we cannot afford” in Paragraph 4?A. Because the price of air-conditioning is too high.B. Because you cant afford the time for installation.C. Because the cost of energy consumption is too high.D.Because the earth will suffer from its carbon emissions.61.impact of cooling?A. design natural cooling buildingsB. raise standards for energy-performanceC. make laws for international cooperationD. stop applying harmful refrigerants to productionA. abc B. abd C. acd D. bedCAbout 43.5 million Americans are taking care of aging relatives and friends, sacrificing(牺牲）time, money and sometimes their careers and personal health. They are doing the work of professional caregivers,whospend years training for the job. As baby boomers age, the demand for unpaid caregivers is rising is rising Meanwhile, the number of them is dropping rapidly thanks to smaller family sizes. higher divorce rates and increasingly demanding jobs. This November, actor Rob Lowe offered to tell his story andsend some encouragement to the millions struggling to care for a loved one.I had my first experience with unpaid caregiving fairly early.My father,Charles,was diagnosed(诊断) with lymphoma at age 50 I was 26.Luchily,he was financilly successful and had a loving wife,my stepmother.It was challenging ,but she there foe him.But two years later,they divorced.Ive always thought it had to do with the stress from taking care of my father.Ln my late 30s,my mother,Barbara Hepler,was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer.That was when I this introduced to front lines of what so many millions are are experiencing .She did not have a husband or a signficant other,so it fell to me my two brothers to handle evevrything from her initial diagnosis to doctor shopping,treatment options,driving her to appointments and ,finally,the end of life-which was profoundly difficult,obviously.At the time,I was starring in and producing a network television show,The Lyons Den.It was fighting for its ratings life.If I took timeIf I took time off, the show would be canceled.I was responsible for 150 members, so I had to find a way to do both.Besides,there is the negotiation of medical coverage, which requires phone calls, weeding fug paperwork and talking to insurance companies and doctors. I remember thinking, Jesus Christ.if I were sick and had to do this on my own? I dont think I could get out of bed in the morning.The people we are talking aboutthe friends and family members who are out there doing important workare unpaid. Watching a loved one go through an illness, possibly ending in death, is stressful and depressing. Add economic and scheduling burdens, and the load for caregivers is heavy. To them I say, Dont forget about yourself. When you get on an airplane, the crew says, Secure your own mask first before helping others.” Why? Because without you taking care of yourself, you cant take care of anybody else. Thats why Ive partnered with EMD Serono and EmbracingCarers.com，where youll find invaluable information regarding everything youll be, or are，going through. 62. Whats the main idea of the first paragraph?A. A large number of Americans are taking care of their loved ones.B. Unpaid caregivers are in great demand due to a variety of reasons.C.Taking care of aging relatives and friends is increasingly demanding.D. Many Americans have received training to become professional caregivers.63. Why does Rob Lowe mention his fathers case?A. To indicate the possible stress of a carer.B. To introduce his familys medical history.C. To emphasize the importance of being healthy.D.To prove Charles5 luck of having a loving wife.64. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. The TV show was then struggling to win a larger audience.B. The TV show was quite popular among local unpaid caregivers.C. The TV show was fighting to be allowed to shoot more seasons.D.The TV show was about patients who were fighting against diseases.65.Which of the following could probably be the best title?A.What makes a good carer? B.Where are the caregivers?D.Who cares for the carer? C.Why are carers necessary?DMr.and Mrs.Wormwood had a son called Michael and a daughter called Matilda.who was so quick to learn that her ability should have been obvious even to the most stupid parents.But they were both so wrapped up in their own silly little lives that failed to notice anything unusual about their dautghter.To tell the truth,I doubt they would have noticed had she crawled into the house with a broken leg.By the age of one and a half her speech was perfect and she knew as many words as most grown-ups. The.parents, instead of praising her, called her a noisy chatterbox and told her a noisy chatterbox and told her sharply that small girls should be seen and not heard.By the time she was three, Matilda had taughttaught herself to read by studying newspapers andmagazines that lay around the house. At the age of four, she could read fast and well and she naturally began seeking for books. The only book in the whole of this enlightened household was something called Easy Cooking belonging to her mother, and when she had read this from cover to cover, and had learnt all the recipes by heart, she decided she wanted something more interesting.“Daddy,”she said, “do you think you could buy me a book?“A book?” he said.“What do you want a book for?”“To read,-Daddy.” “Whats wrong with the telly? Weve got a lovely telly with a twelve-inch screen and now you come asking for a
