It is high time you should live a low-carbon life when travelling. But how? The following

offers you the answer.

Before you go

Turn off and unplug all of your non-essential electronic appliances. Experts say that 5-10 percent of the average family's electric bill is from electronic appliances that are plugged in 24 hours a day. Televisions, computers, coffeemakers, toasters and even lamps can suck up power. If you are gone for any extended period, consider turning down the temperature on your water heater since there is no sense in keeping that water hot if you are not going to be around to use it.

Choose a different way

If you have a little extras time to spare, driving or taking a train to your destination might be an option. And there are always the long-haul options like Mega bus. If you do have to take a plane, fly nonstop. If you want to have a lower carbon footprint, avoid private jets even if you can afford them.

At the hotel

Utilize every conservation program that the hotel offers. Reuse your towels and turn off your air conditioning or heat before you leave for the day. Bring your own soap, shampoo and moisturizer, or at least take whatever is left of the hotel-supplied notions home with you to finish using there. Skip the morning printed newspaper and read it on your Tablet PC, phone or computer.

Drinking

Carry a water bottle with you so that you don't have to buy plastic bottles. Travel to certain parts of the world and you will understand why. There's nothing more disturbing than seeing something mad e up of plastic bottles and bags. Halong Bay in Vietnam is a great example where this kind man-made pollution is clearly visible.

Myhusbandand Iused think we had all we had ever wanted.a beautiful house, three healthy children and one more on the way, two cars, a couple of four-wheelers for entertainment---and we loved it. Then, the market turned and my husband's job at a construction company was gone. The company was closing down for good.

We both started looking for jobs right away, but there weren't any to be found. With each passing day we were getting increasingly worried and we continued to work together in order to pull our family through.The more we pulled together, the closer we got. I felt feelings of admiration for my husband that I hadn't felt in years.

That's why it was so hard for me to watch him blame himself for our present situation. I continually asked him to stop, but he seemed to want to punish himself for not having a job.

Finally, one afternoon I pulled him aside and said, \each other. That's what's important. That makes you a rich man.\

\—you'll hate me,\ I smiled at him and put my hands on both sides of his face to make him look me in the eye. \the struggling together I had found that deep love for him that I had on the day we said \do\

I could see his shoulders and neck relaxed. He held me close and we were able to talk and plan and dream together in a way that we hadn't for quite some time. It was a turning point for us as a couple and a family.

We are still struggling for out better life, but I consider us well-off because we have something that money can't buy and no one can take away from us.

24: we can learn from the passage that_. A they both found good jobs at last.

B her husband was out of work for his not working hard. C both of them were worried about joblessness. D they didn't love each other after they got married

25. The underlined sentence in the second paragraph means that— A. Her husband worked harder for being closer . B. they became closer as they struggled together C. their house was closer to the company than before D. they were closer to another employment than before.

26: which of the following can best describe their present life?

27 The best title of the passage might be_

A Better life comes B. Hard time goes C. We have it all D. We lose it all C

Children's lives have changed greatly over the last 50 years．But do they have a happier childhood than you or I did?

It's difficult to look back on one's own childhood without some element of nostalgia（怀旧的）．I have four brothers and sisters, and my memories are all about being with them．Playing board games on the living room floor, or spending days in the street with the other neighborhood children, racing up and down on our bikes, or exploring the nearby woods．My parents scarcely appear in these memories, except as providers either of

meals or of severe blame after some particularly risky adventure．

These days, in the UK at least, the nature of childhood has changed dramatically．Firstly, families are smaller, and there are far more only children．It is common for both parents to work outside the home and there is the feeling that there just isn't time to bring up a large family, or that no one could possibly afford to have more than one child．As a result, today's boys and girls spend much of their time alone．Another major change is that youngsters today tend to spend a huge amount of their free time at home, inside．More than anything this is due to the fact that parents worry far more than they used to about real or imagined dangers, so they wouldn't dream of letting their children play outside by themselves．

Finally, the kind of toys children have and the way they play is totally different．Computer and video games have replaced the board games and more interesting activities of my childhood．The irony（令人啼笑皆非的事情） is that so many ways of playing games are called \The fact that you can play electronic games on your own further increases the sense of loneliness felt by many young people today．

Do these changes mean that children today have a less relaxing childhood than I had? I personally believe that they do, but perhaps every generation feels exactly the same．

28 What is the purpose of the direct question given in the first paragraph? A．To show who the passage is written for B．To get people's attention and lead in the topic

C .Tocollect different people's opinions on the topic.

D．To emphasize the importance of the topic discussed in the passage. 29 Which is NOT a reason for the changes? A．Parents worried too much about their children B．Toys can be played by children in different ways. C．It's more and more dangerous to play outside D．Only children become more, causing families smaller 30 What has the writer INDICATE in the fourth paragraph? A．Board games shouldn’t be replaced. B．Computer and video games should be cut off C．Young people today should play more with others

D．electronicgamestodayeasilycausemoreloneliness to the youth. 31 :The writer's purpose is to __ the childhood changes． A．introduce B．praise C．criticize D．discuss D

Blue-eyed people have been living in Europe for at least 7,000 years, scientists have discovered.

A man who lived on the Iberian Peninsula before Europeans became farmers probably hadblue eyes but dark hair and skin, according to scientists who have sequenced (按序排列 ) hisDNA. This surprising combination of eye, hair and skin coloring may not have been unusualduring his lifetime, but it is no longer seen among modern Europeans, reported by the journalNature.

The man, a Neolithic hunter-gatherer known to scientists as La Brana I, is of greatinterest to scientists because he offers a snapshot of what was in Europeans' DNAbefore agriculture spread through the continent. Experts have theorized that certain geneticfeature spread quickly among humans after they adopted the farming lifestyle. La Brana Ishows that at least some of their predictions were correct.

The man's skeleton, along with that of a male companion, was discovered in 2006 in a

cave in what is now northeastern Spain. The site, known as La Brana-Arintero, sits about 5,

000 feet above sea level, and the cave provided a cold, refrigerator-like environment that preserved his DNA.

In the lab, scientists were able to remove enough DNA from a single tooth to reconstructLa Brana I's entire genome (基因组). They compared it to the DNA of other ancientEuropeans (including Otzi, the 5, 300-year-old mummy found in an Alpine glacier) anddetermined that he was a closer match with hunter-gatherers than with farmers. When it came to genes that would influence La Brana I's appearance, the researchers

found that their 7,OOO-year-old subject had versions of two skin pigment(色素) genes that areeither very rare or nonexistent among Europeans today. Then they looked at other places inthe genome that influence pigmentation(色素沉着) and found a mix of ancient and modern

gene variants(变种). Taken together, La Brana I's DNA “is likely to have resulted in

darkskin pigmentation and dark or brown hair,\

However, his DNA indicates that his eyes were most likely blue, the scientists found. This suggests that gene variants for light-colored eyes and skin did not spread together, they

wrote, adding that La Brana I's combination “of dark skin and non-brown eyes is unique and

no longer present in contemporary European populations. \would

typically have fair skin.To get some idea of whether La Brana I's coloring was unusual for his day, the researchers willtry to sequence the DNA of his companion, who has been named La Brana II.

32. Why are scientists interest in La Brana I? A. They can know Europeans' DNA.

B. They can know the ancient agriculture in Europe. C. They can know European hunter-gatherers' DNA. D. They can know some of their predictions were correct. 33. La Brana skeleton was best preserved due to .

A. the height of cave B. the cold condition in the cave

C. the location of caveD. the wet condition in the wave 34. Which of the following is TRUE?

A. La Brana I's gene variants spread together. B. La Brana I's DNA influences his appearance.

C. Today blue-eyed person may typically have rough rather than fair skin. D. La Brana I's gene is completely different from the contemporary Europeans'. 35. What does the last paragraph suggest?

A. La Brana II has the same genome with La Brana I.

B. Blue-eyed people were common in Europe 7,000 years ago.

C. It's not certain that La Brana's appearance was common at that time.

D Brana I's combination of dark skin and non-brown eyes is popular in the contemporary Europeans.
