The US will seek to expand its own oil production in an attempt to reduce dependence on imported oil and bring down fuel prices, President Obama says. New contracts for exploration will be signed in non-protected areas of Alaska and in the Gulf of Mexico.
In his weekly speech, the President insisted the US could reduce its need for imported oil and improve safety. Using his speech to tell Americans that he understood their concerns about rising prices, President Obama focused particularly on the price of fuel, which has risen in recent months.
US consumers have historically enjoyed cheap fuel, but have seen prices rise in recent months even though US oil production in 2010 reached its highest level for seven years.
Although the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010 was serious, Mr. Obama said the Gulf remained a key part of the country’s future energy supply.
The President’s proposals (议案) come after Republicans (共和党人) introduced a series of proposals that would expand and speed up oil and gas production.
The White House has criticized the Republican proposals for safety reasons, but Mr. Obama was clear in his speech that he felt safety and environmental standards could be maintained even though production might rise.
“I believe that we should continue to expand oil production in America — even as we increase safety and environmental standards,” he said.
“As a nation, we should be investing in the clean, renewable sources of energy that are the solution to high gas prices.”
Mr. Obama has previously called for a step-change in energy policy, saying the US must move towards getting 80% of its electricity from clean energy sources by 2035.
1.Which of the following is NOT included in Mr. Obama’s speech?
A. The reason for the rising oil prices.
B. Improving safety standards.
C. The dependence on imported oil.
D. Expanding oil production.
2.Mr. Obama thinks the Republican proposals are ______.
A. not safe enough B. not environmentally friendly
C. practical D. clear
3.What can we learn from the text?
A. The US has got most of its electricity from clean energy.
B. US oil production is too small to keep the present low fuel prices.
C. The US produced the most oil in 2010 in its history.
D. The Gulf is still important in energy supply in spite of the oil spill in 2010.
4.Which of the following can serve as the title?
A. Obama: clean, renewable sources of energy are the solution to high gas prices
B. Obama: US will import less oil to improve safety and environmental standards
C. Obama: the time of high fuel prices will be gone
D. Obama: US will seek oil in Alaska and Gulf of Mexico

A Singaporean woman will return to normal life today after spending three days in a glass box. 26-year-old Cheyenne Lu has been living in full view of the public on a busy shopping street in an effort to quit smoking (戒烟)．
Lu, who has been smoking for the last 12 years, knows how difficult it is to quit. Her previous (以前的) efforts all failed because she didn't tell her family and friends that she was trying to give up. So this time she has made her decision very public. The experiment was organized by the Health Promotion Board (HPB) as part of an effort to encourage young Singaporean women not to smoke. There has been a large increase in the number of women smokers in recent years.
Lu has been eating and sleeping in a glass room for the last three days, with an Internet connection and a collection of DVDs to help her pass the time. Besides, she has been having yoga (瑜伽) classes with a fitness trainer. Lu, who is a writer, has been keeping an online blog of her experiences in the glass house.
Lu says she has received a lot of encouragement from people passing by. However, some people have tried to make it more difficult by stopping in front of her window and smoking. One stranger even offered to give her $500 to smoke with him. “Surprisingly, it made me want to stop smoking even more,” said Lu.
Although Lu has tried not to smoke for three days, she knows this is only the beginning of her smokefree journey. But she has something to look forward to. She is a supporter of Arsenal Football Club, and she plans to use all the money she saves by not smoking to travel to London. She wants to see her hero Cesc Fabregas in real life.

The Norwegian government is doing its best to keep the oil industry under control. A new law limits exploration to an area south of the southern end of the long coastline, production limits have been laid down, and oil companies have not been allowed to employ more than a limited number of foreign workers. But the oil industry has a way of getting over such problems, and few people believe that the government will be able to hold things back for long.
Ever since the war, the government has been carrying out a program of development in the area north of the Arctic Circle. During the past few years this program has had a great deal of success. Tromso has been built up into a local capital with a university, a large hospital and a healthy industry. But the oil industry has already started to draw people south, and within a few years the whole northern policy could be in ruins.
The effects of the oil industry would not be limited to the north, however. With nearly 100 percent employment, everyone can see a situation developing in which the service industries and the tourist industry will lose most of their workers to the oil industry. Some smaller industries might even disappear altogether when it becomes cheaper to buy goods from abroad.
1.The Norwegian Government would prefer the oil industry to _____.
A. provide more jobs for foreign workers
B. slow down the rate of its development
C. sell the oil it is producing abroad
D. develop more quickly than at present
2.The Norwegian Government has tried to ____.
A. encourage the oil companies to discover new oil sources
B. prevent oil companies employing people from Northern Norway
C. help the oil companies solve many of their problems
D. keep the oil industry to something near its present size
3.According to the text, the oil industry might lead in Northern Norway to ____.
A. the development of industry
B. a growth in population
C. the failure of the development program
D. the development of new towns
4.In the south, one effect of the development of the oil industry might be _____.
A. a large reduction in unemployment
B. a growth in the tourist industry
C. a reduction in the number of existing industries
D. the development of a number of service industry.
