     In a world with limited land,water and other natural resources,the harm from the traditional business
model is on the rise.Actually,the past decade has seen more and more forests disappearing and the globe
becoming increasingly warm.People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed,and that we must be able to develop in sustainable ways.That means growth with low carbon or development of
sustainable products.In other words,we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural
resources.
     Today,sustainable development is a popular trend in many countries.According to a recent study,the
global market for lowcarbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decade.China,for
example,has set its mind on leading that market,hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global
energy revolution.It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy,and is spending a huge
amount of money making electric cars and highspeed trains.In addition,we are also seeing great growth in
the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil,which is produced without cutting down
valuable rainforest.In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown by more than 50%.
     Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets.First,they can set high targets for
reducing carbon emissions (排放) and targets for saving and reusing energy.Besides,stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development.Finally,governments can avoid
the huge expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction,and redirecting some of those expenses can
accelerate the change from traditional model to a sustainable one.
     The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of a growing population within the limits of this single planet.That is no small task,but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product
industries.
1. The traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPT that  ________.
A. it makes the world warmer

A. China lacks wind and solar energy.
B. China is the leader of the lowcarbon market.
C. Highspeed trains are a lowcarbon development.
D. Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests.
3. To full develop the lowcarbon markets,,government can ________.
