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

Strategy Three

●Make sure you keep the things such as paper and plastic bottles separate (獨立) 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 “l(fā)ow carbon” in paragraph one mean?

A．便宜

B．低碳

C．高效

D．舒適

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

A．When we produce the meat, we need to take up lots of energy.

B．Taking showers in less time will help for saving the water.

C．When you go for a long-distance trip, you’d better drive your own car.

D．Buying the long-lasting products is a good idea to have a low carbon life.

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

A．It helps to know walking is one of the low carbon lives.

B．It helps to realize how important it is to have a low carbon life.

C．It advises to save water and electric to have a low carbon life.

Today was the Hungry Luncheon (饑餓午餐日). Every year, at our school, there is a lunch event called the Hungry Luncheon.

If you want to join the event, you must pay two dollars at the door of the dining hall and get a letter. All the money is used for helping those poor people who don’t have enough (足夠的) food to eat. My letter was “K”.

After all the students sat down, the teachers called the letters for the meals: 15% of the students got to eat a best dinner. 25% of the students got to eat an Okay meal. But 60% of the students just had a small piece of bread and a small cup of water!

The purpose (目的) of this event is to tell us about the unfairness (不公平) of the world, and that we need to start helping the poor!

I was one of the 60% of the students. I was a little hungry for the rest of the day, but I learned something from this special lesson. Now every time I eat, I think about the poor.
