Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted.Careless methods of production and lack of
consumer demand for environment (环境) friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem.
One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced, and these
are difficult to get rid of.
However, today, more and more consumers are choosing "green" and demanding that the products they
buy should be safe for the environment.Before they buy a product,they ask questions like these: "Will this
shampoo damage the environment?" "Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?"
A recent study showed that two out of five adults now consider the environmental safety of a product
before they buy it. This means that companies must now change the way they make and sell their products
to make sure that they are "green," that is,friendly to the environment.
Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets,but now there are
hundreds.Some supermarket products carry labels (标签) to show that the product is green. Some
companies have made the manufacturing (生产) of clean and safe products their main selling point and
emphasize it in their advertising.
The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business.
No longer will the public accept the old attitude of "Buy it, use it,throw it away, and forget it. "The public
pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act. |
| 1. It becomes clear from the text that the driving force (动力) behind green products is _____. |
A. public caring for the environment
B. companies,desire for bigger sales
C. new ways of doing business
D. rapid growth of supermarkets |
| 2. What would be the best title for the text? |

You are what you eat and fats are a main food for Asia"s fast-food generation. Dr. Chwang, director of the
Department of Food Nutrition, says children are consuming more meat and soft drinks. That is a thorough
departure from the traditional diet of vegetables and rice and little meat. "They like big pieces of fried meat with
a soft drink. So although they may eat the same volume of food, their calorie intake (卡路里摄入量) has
increased. Now about 40 to 45 percent of their calories come from fat," says Chwang.
Although on the whole Asians tend towards thinness, culture -namely Asians" hospitality (好客)-is a reason
for the fatness of today"s generation, according to Chwang. "Asian people love food," she says. "Eating and
drinking are important social and family functions." In the past, however, big meals were only hosted on special
occasions as people were more careful with money. In today"s climate of wealth and remarkable consumption,
10-course meals are no longer reserved for significant occasions.
More than anyone else, children are on the receiving end of their parents" improved circumstances. "In the
past, people had four or more children-now, they have one or two, so they tend to spoil them," says Chwang.
"The easiest way is to give them "quality food". Parents think feeding them well is showing their love. They feel
bad when their children look thin."
When describing the physical condition of most overweight Asian children, Chwang says:"There is a clear
relationship between fatness and indoor play. Children get fat because they don"t move, and eventually, they
don"t want to move because they"re fat.
Thanks to technology, a growing army of children prefer video games to old outdoor sports. "What do
children do when watching TV or sitting in front of the computer playing video games? They eat chocolate and
drink Coke," says Chwang. |

B. their children don"t have a good physical condition
C. they feel that they don"t take good care of their children

found the time or the money-to make the trip from his home near Swansea. But, when British Rail offered
him an all -expenses-paid birthday trip to the capital, he just could not refuse.
Until yesterday he had never been far from home, except for one trip to Aberdeen. Mr. Evans, who spent
60 years working as a miner in South Wales, almost made the journey to London once before, at the turn of
the century. "There was a trip to the White City but it was ten shillings (1 shilling=1/20 pound) return from
Swansea-too much I thought. All my money went to the family then," he said.
During the next two days Mr. Evans will be taken on a whistle-stop tour of London to see the sights. Top
of his list is a visit to the Houses of Parliament (国会).
The only arrangement he does not care for is the wheelchair provided to move him about if he gets tired.
"I don"t like the chair business-people will so think I am getting old," he said.
His secret for a long and healthy life has been well publicized-no alcohol, no cigarette and no anger. Before
setting off from Swansea with his 76-year-old son, Amwel, he quipped, "I"m glad to see they"ve given me a
return ticket." | | 1. It was reported that Mr. Evans"s healthy long life was to a certain extent due to his _____. | A. wine drinking

because they could be stored electronically. But for all the texts that are written, stored and sent electronically,
a lot of them are still ending up on paper.
It is difficult to measure the quantity of paper used as a result of use of Internet-connected computers,
although just about anyone who works in an office can tell you that when e-mail is introduced, the printers
start working overtime. "I feel in my bones this revolution is causing more trees to be cut down," says Ted
Smith of the Earth Village Organisation.
Perhaps best sign of how computer and Internet use pushes up demand for paper comes from the high-tech
industry itself, which sees printing as one of its most promising new markets. Several Internet companies have
been set up to help small businesses print quality documents from a computer. Earlier this week. Hewlett-
Packard Co. announced a plan to develop new technologies that will enable people to print even more so they
can get a hard copy of a business document, a medical record or just a one-line e-mail, even if they are nowhere
near a computer. As the company sees it, the more use of the Internet the greater demand for printers.
Does all this mean environmental concerns (环境问题) have been forgotten? Some activists suggest people
have been led to believe that a lot of dangers to the environment have gone away. "I guess people believe that
the problem is taken care of, because of recycling (回收利用)," said Kelly Quirke, director of the Rainforest
Action Network in San Francisco. Yet Quirke is hopeful that high-tech may also prove helpful. He says printers
that print on both sides are growing in popularity. The action group has also found acceptable paper made from
materials other than wood, such as agricultural waste. | | 1. The growing demand for paper in recent years is largely due to _____. | A. the rapid development of small businesses
B. the opening up of new markets
C. the printing of high quality copies
D. the increased use of the Internet | | 2. Environmentalists believe one possible way of dealing with the paper situation is _____. | A. to encourage printing more quality documents
B. to develop new printers using recycled paper
C. to find new materials for making paper
D. to plant more fast growing trees | | 3. Hewlett-Packard Co. has decided to develop new technologies because _____. | A. people are concerned about the environment
B. printers in many offices are working overtime
C. small companies need more hard copies
D. they see a growing market for printers | | 4. What would be the best title for the text? | A. Computers and Printers
