Everyone tends have many problems while gaining knowledge. Therefore, your willingness to deal with these problems will eventually enable you to work it out. What I’d like to share is my approaches to solve the problems.

First, you must focus on which you are faced with. There seems to be a lot of attractive things, like computers or game. To stay focused, you can list these things and tell yourself you should touch them after finishing your work. Second, believe to yourself. Though there is no doubt that each of us might make mistakes or come across some tough problems in learning, but it can never be a reason for the loss of confidence.

Last, keep modest. Never feel embarrassing to turn to your teachers or classmates. Everyone in your surroundings can be your teacher.

Rachel Carson was an American author and environmental protection scientist. “Silent Spring” was her most famous book. The idea for the book developed from a suggestion from a friend. Rachel’s friend owned a protected area for birds. An airplane had flown over the area where the birds were kept and spread a powerful chemical called DDT. Many songbirds and harmless insects were killed by the DDT.

Miss Carson and other scientists were very concerned about the harmful effects of DDT and other insect-killing chemicals called pesticides. Rachel Carson tried to get many magazines interested in publishing a report about the subject. However, none would agree to publish anything about such a debate subject. They said no one wanted to hear that industrial companies could cause great ecological damage.

Miss Carson believed the public needed to know about this important issue. She decided to write a book about it. In her book “Silent Spring”, Miss Carson questioned the right of industrial companies to pollute without considering the effects on the environment. Miss Carson argued that this kind of pollution would result in ever-decreasing populations of birds and other wildlife. She said this would lead to the loss of the wonderful sounds of nature. The chemical poisoning of the environment, she said, would cause a silent spring.

The chemical industry felt threatened. Industry spokesmen and other critics said the book was non-scientific and emotional. They misunderstood the message of the book. Miss Carson did not suggest that all pesticides be banned. She urged that control of these substances be given to biologists who could make informed decisions about the risks involved.

Support for the book increased. By the end of 1962, there were more than forty bills in state laws proposing to control pesticides. Finally, in November, 1969, the United States government ruled that the use of DDT must stop in two years.

Rachel Carson did not live to see how her book influenced the government’s decision to ban DDT. She died of breast cancer in 1964.

1.What gets Rachel Carson to write the book?

4.What does the passage mainly tell about?

Berlin---China’s endeavor(efforts) to enhance(step up) environmental protection, energy-saving and gas emission-cut(减排) and build a resource-conserving society is of great significance to the world,  said Klaus Toepfer, former chief of the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) in a recent interview with Xinhua.

“Such a move is in the interest of the entire world, and meets the need of the global sustainable development（可持续性发展）,” he added.

ACHIEVEMENTS

“As a member of China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development (CCICED), I have seen the strong determination of China’s leadership,” said Toepfer.

“The performance of the Chinese central and regional governments during the process of urbanization(城市化进程) also makes me believe that it has become the consensus（共识）of all the governments to protect the environment, save energy, cut greenhouse gas emission, and to build an resource-conserving society.”

The expert took Shanghai as an example. “The Shanghai government is fully aware of the importance of an energy-saving and resource-efficient structure.”

To make Shanghai an eco-friendly city, the municipal government（市政府）has taken measures such as building more sewage processing facilities（污水处理设备）, limiting the number of cars to help ease traffic jam and improve air conditions, he said, describing them as quite impressive.

He also noted many changes in the government’s policies concerning manufacturing and service industries（加工、服务业）, an indication of China’s new approach to environmental protection and energy conservation.

For instance, China has given higher priority（优先）to the proper handling of carbon dioxide emission. The country has also actively been engaged in the research and development of electricity-powered cars and cars that use alternative energy.

MORE TO BE DONE

However, despite the positive results, more needs to be done in China, the former UN environment chief said.

China still needs to make tremendous efforts to tackle tough challenges such as to protect water resources, reduce air pollution and enhance energy efficiency, he added.

Toepfer suggested that China introduce advanced new technologies on environmental protection and energy-saving from other countries, and actively participate in international cooperation projects on environmental protection and energy conservation as the country already has a strong scientific and economic capability.

On the negative impacts of the ongoing financial crisis on environmental protection and energy conservation, Toepfer said the impacts are obvious, but only of short duration. As governments’ measures to stabilize financial markets take effect, environmental protection and energy conservation will again become the world's major concern, he said.

67. The passage may probably be entitled ______.

A. China's environmental protection crucial (至关重要的)to the world

B. China’s achievements and tasks in environmental protection

C. China’s contributions to the sustainable development of the world

D. China’s determination in face of the ongoing financial crisis

68. In Toepfer’s opinion, the major concern at present is ______.

A. energy conservation                  B. environmental protection

C. carbon dioxide emission               D. financial crisis

69. Toepfer’s attitude towards the ongoing financial crisis is ______.

A. contradictory      B. negative      C. optimistic     D. pessimistic(悲观的)

70. Which of the following statements is true referring to the passage?

A. Regional governments’ work is not so efficient.

B. Efforts made by China have won the appreciation of the world.

C. The present financial crisis will last for several years at least.

D. At present China should introduce new technologies on production.
