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 (进口的), and get fresh vegetables instead of frozen.

Strategy Three

●Make sure you keep the things such as paper and plastic bottles separate (独立) 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.

1.What does the underline phrase “low carbon” in paragraph one mean?

2. According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?

3. What’s the purpose(目的) of the passage?

What do you think is the most common illness? Do you get ill sometimes? We are lucky to live now, because there are lots of medicines to make people better.

The most common illness in the world is the cold. It often begins with a sore throat. Then you sneeze and your nose runs. You usually have a headache too. Often you cough later. It’s not a very bad illness, but you can feel quite ill.

There isn’t a cure (治愈方法) for a cold, but you can take medicines to make you feel better. For instance, aspirin (阿斯匹林) can stop your headache. It is good to rest, and to drink a lot of water too. A doctor once said to me, “With the proper medicine, a cold will continue for seven days. With no medicine, it will continue for a whole week!”

Where does our medicine come from? A long time ago, people knew that some plants made them feel better. They ate the leaves, the roots, the fruit, or the seeds of plants. For instance, the juice of lemons makes a sore throat feel better.

In modern times, scientists have looked at these plants, and found out which chemicals are in them. Many of our medicines today are made from those chemicals.

There are some illnesses which we can’t cure yet. And nobody has found a cure for old age. But because of modern medicines, most people now live longer than their grandparents__
