1 The goal here is to limit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, which are closely associated to the big problem of global warming.
Strategy 1: Bring your own cup to Starbucks
You’ll get a 10 cent discount, and it’s one less paper cup to end up in a landfill. While you’re there, pick up some free bags of spent coffee grounds to use as “green” fertilizer in your garden.
The payoff: 2
Strategy 2: Turn off your computer
When in standby mode, your PC is still using energy. 3
The payoff: Turning off a monitor for 40 hours a week may only save $5 a month, but it reduces CO₂ by 750 pounds.
Strategy 3: Reuse plastic bags
Instead of throwing away 100 billion plastic bags a year, try and get a second, third, or tenth use out of them. Better yet, next time you shop, try a reusable bag.
The payoff: 4 The amount of oil it would take to make just 14 plastic bags would run your car for one mile.
Strategy 4: Use recycled paper in the bathroom
Most of the toilet paper we use is made from trees found in forests previously untouched by humans.
The payoff: If every household replaced one roll of toilet paper with a recycled one, 424000 trees would still be standing. Look for eco paper towels too.
Strategy 5: Buy energy-efficient appliances(电器)
Replace the old fridge with an Energy Star appliance and you’ll use 15 percent less energy. 5 .
The payoff: If we all used one Energy Star appliance at home, it would be like planting 1.7 million acres of new trees.

Once you stand behind a lectern(讲台) you need something to say, and you want it to be very interesting.The excuse people have for avoiding public speaking is, “I don’t have anything to say. My life is boring.’’ 1
How can you express yourself and your message? Here is a list of questions to ask yourself:
What is your philosophy? By what values do you live your life? List the key moments of your life. 2
For example: learning how to ride a bike, moving to a different city, taking on a new job, and so on.
What subjects and issues are you certain about? 3To make flowers grow? To create world peace? Then share your story with the world!
4Share your favourie jokes.
What makes you angry? Share how you would change teh world for the better if you could.
5Speak about what catches your attention at the moment. Don’t have enough time in the day for all your work? Give a speech on that topic! It will perhaps help you solve that problem.
So, what do you have to say? Challenge yourself and discover your voice!
| A．What makes you laugh? |
| B．Do you have a sad story to share? |
| C．You may not think so at the moment. |
| D．What are you struggling with right now? |
E.But in fact you do have a message to share.

It doesn't come as a surprise to you to realize that it makes no difference what you read or study if you can't remember it．You just waste your valuable time．1One dependable aid that does help you remember what you
study is to have a specific purpose or reason for reading．
Why does a clerk in a store go away when your reply to her offer to help is, "No, thank you．I'm just looking．"? Both you and she know that if you aren't sure what you want, you are not likely to find it．But suppose you say instead, "Yes, thank you．I want a pair of sun glasses．" She says, "Right this way, please．"
__2_ If you choose a book, "just looking" for nothing in particular, you are likely to get just that—nothing．But if you do know what you want, you are almost sure to get it．Your reasons will vary; they will include reading or studying "to find out more about", "to understand the reasons for" and "to find out how"．
__3__ Before you start to study, you say to yourself something like this, "I want to know why Stephen Vincent Benet happened to write about America"．Because you know why you are reading or studying, you relate the information to your purpose and remember it better．
4At least two important processes go on at the same time．As you read, you take in ideas rapidly and accurately．But at the same time you express your own ideas to yourself as you react to what you read．You have a kind of 
mental conversation with the author．
This additional process of thinking about what you read includes evaluating it, relating it to what you already know, and using it for your own purposes．__5__ One part of critical reading, as you have discovered, is distinguishing between facts and opinions．Facts can be checked by evidence, Opin
ions are one's own personal reactions．Another part of critical reading is judging sources．Still another part is drawing accurate inferences．
| A．Maybe you have already discovered some clever ways to keep yourself from forgetting． |
| B．It is important for students to have a positive attitude to their study． |
| C．You remember better when you know what you' re reading． |
| D．In other words, a good reader is a critical reader． |
E．It’s quite the same with your studying．
F．Reading is not one single activity．
G．This is the way it works．
Do you know Australia? Australia is the largest island in the world. It is a little smaller than China. It is in the south of the earth. 1 The population of Australia is nearly as large as that of Shanghai. 2 The cities in Australia have got little air or water pollution. The sky is blue and the water is clean. You can
clearly see fish swimming in the rivers. Plants grow very well.
Last month we visited Perth, the biggest city in western Australia, and went to a wild flowers’ exhibition 3 We had a wonderful time. Perth is famous for its beautiful wild flowers. In spring every year Perth has the wild flowers’ exhibition.
After visiting Perth, we spent the day in the countryside. We sat down and had a rest near a path at the foot of a hill. It was quiet and we enjoyed ourselves. Suddenly we heard bells ringing at the top of the hill. 4 There were about three hundred sheep coming towards us down the path. 5 After a short drive from any town, you will find yourself in the middle of white sheep. Sheep, sheep, everywhere are sheep.
| A．The government has made enough laws to fight pollution. | |
| B．Australia is the sixth largest country in the world. |
C．Australia is famous for its sheep and kangaroos. |
| D．Australia is big, but its population is not large. |
E. What we saw made us pick up all our things and run back to the car as quickly as we could.
F. There we saw a large number of wild flowers we had never seen before.

_1__.If you give and give without making time to fill your own nee
ds, then it’s likely you will burn out, or feel upset
. When you take and take without giving back, you never feel fulfilled, so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life.
The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values. I break values up into two groups which I call being and having values. __2__I suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that are willing to make a commitment to live by. An example of some being values are :kind, loving, generous, inspirational, peaceful, wise and even powerful. By acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model. Mastering being these character traits becomes your life purpose.
__3__.These could be companionship, achievement, and support, being valued or financial security. This is what you receive. You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life.
When you make a commitment to live by your being values, it becomes easier to make conscious choices rather than reactionary ones. If your usual pattern is to talk about your problems, you could choose to think and act like a calm person. _4__.If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person. In other words, you would act like the person you choose to be ---this is the key to personal power.
When you choose to act on your values, you not only feel good about yourself, you reinforce your chosen beliefs. ___5___.
| A．Young people have a different set of values. |
B．You feel that you have a responsibility to help  them. |
| C．Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy. |
D．Your being values are the character traits （特征，特点）of the ideal person you would like to be. |
E.You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving.
F.A calm person might go for a walk, meditate, or set a time limit before responding.
G.Over time acting in this way changes how you see the world , and in turn the way other people think of you.
