In Tokyo there are always too many people in the places where I want to be. Of course there are too many cars. The Japanese drive very fast， but in Tokyo they often spend a long time in traffic jams. Tokyo is not different from London， Paris and New York in that. It is different when one wants to walk.

At certain times of the day there are a lot of people on foot in London’s Oxford Street. But the streets near the Ginze in Tokyo always have a lot of people on foot， and sometimes it is really difficult to walk. People are very polite； there are just too many of them.

During the day， most people travel to and from work by train. Tokyo people buy six million train tickets every day. At most stations， trains arrive every two or three minutes， but at certain hours there do not seem to be enough trains. Although they are usually crowded， Japanese trains are very good. They always leave and arrive on time. On a London train you would see everybody reading a newspaper. In Tokyo trains everybody in a seat seems to be asleep， whether his journey is long or short.

In Tokyo， I stood outside the station for five minutes. Three fire-engines raced past on the way to one of the many fires that Tokyo has every day. Tokyo has so many surprises that none of them can really surprise me now.

Green finance is a phenomenon that combines the world of finance and business with environmentally friendly behavior.It is a stage for many participants， including individual and business consumers， producers investors，and financial lenders.Green finance can be expressed differently depending on the participants' financial incentives(动机) ， desires to preserve the planet， or a combination of both.In addition to showing environmentally friendly behavior，such as promoting mass transit or the recycling of used goods， green finance is about preventing the promotion of any business or activity that could do damage to the environment now or future generations.

Financial institutions that extend lending to individuals， small businesses，or large corporations can do so in an environmentally friendly manner.In this type of green finance，loans are used for the proliferation(扩散) of renewable energy， for instance.A lender could finance the development of a solar power plant that generates power from the sun and panels installed on the roof of a building or residence.Wind power generation is another of business that would get support from green financiers.These com panes develop expensive wind farms that use large turbines onshore and of shore to capture the wind and generate energy.

Energy producers， who use fossil flues，including coal， are not likely to participate in any type of green finance.Coal is a traditional power source that release emissions into the air，substances that are largely considered harmful to the environment. As a result，a coal producer is the type of company that a green financer would likely avoid.

Offering environmental incentives to market participants is a useful way to drive the development of green businesses. Small businesses that are not even in the business of clean energy can participate because this is an extremely proactive(主动的)form of green financing. For instance， a company that sells vehicles may focus on selling cars that are designed to use a hybrid fuel combining both fossil fuels and renewable energy. This business might offer customers an incentive to purchase a car， for example， and in exchange for every vehicle that is sold， the dealer will purchase and plant a tree to promote a clean environment.

Venture capital its(风险投资者) ， or firms that extend financing to start up companies for growth， participate in green finance in an active way. Many firms are behind emerging technologies clean energy that are expected to produce a greater portion of the world's power in the future.Venture capitalists specialize in risky and emerging technologies and as a result， tend to have a hand in green financing.

I had been living with Dino and his family for ten days or so, who lived and worked in the rainforest. They were the “bad guys”, burning much of the western Amazon to tun it into cattle farms. They were also some of the nicest and warmest hosts. They are a family trying to survive in a very tough environment through hard work. Their view and understanding of the problems the Amazon faces are different from mine. I see the Amazon as an extraordinary valuable life that should be treasured and protected at all costs-the world needs it, and we all need it. However, the Dinos see the Amazon as a vast, lasting resource that feeds them. After talking extent win them, I realized their respect for it was as deep as my own: they just saw it very differently.

Cattle farming in the Amazon is perhaps mainly responsible for the fires we are seeing now. It is an industry of cutting forest, burning it and turning it to cattle farms. Fires spread throughout the Amazon every year as a result of that practice. Putting cattle on the land means replacing trees with animals that produce damaging levels of greenhouse gases. This is just about the most stupid thing humans can do.

One morning after a fire, I returned to the land. I felt as though I had seen the blue smoke from those blackened tree trunks that remained upright, which are memorials to human stupidity.

The problems the Amazon faces are perhaps more complex now than ever before, but they are curable. We need to decide where and how we appoint and apply values based on sensible economic models that favor both the farmer and the forest. One of the issues facing the Brazilian Amazon now is a loosening of rules by the current administration which has opened up more land for deforestation(毁林) and burning. This could be disastrous, both for the Amazon and the rest of the world.

1.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about？

A.The consequences of cattle farming. B.The main cause of forest fires.

C.The causes of greenhouse gases. D.The importance of cattle farming.

2.How did the author feel when returning to the land after a fire?

A.It helped the author recall his memory about the land.

B.It reminded us of our foolishness of destroying the land.

C.It's not surprising to see the land destroyed by the fire.

D.It's amazing to see the trees keep straight after the fire.

3.Which of the following statements is true?

A.The writer and Dino respected the Amazon equally in different ways.

B.Cattle farming is not to blame for the fires happening in the Amazon.

C.The problems the Amazon faces are more complex and can't be solved.

D.The Dinos are considered to be bad for burning the forest to make a fortune.

4.What should the Brazilian government do to solve the Amazon problems？

A.Prevent the deeds of burning. B.Offer more land.

C.Take stricter measures. D.Appoint economic models.
