Before each visit to the museum, she made us read about artists and painting styles(风格). It was almost as bad as being in school. Who wants to spend the summe

I certainly couldnt see what was so great about art.On our last visit t
21、o the museum, something happened when I saw a painting by a woman called Mary. In it, a woman was reading to a child.

25、ural resources(资源), the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise. Actually, the past decade has seen more and more forests disappearing and the globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in su
26、stainable(可持续的) ways. That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products. In other words, we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural resources.Today, sustainable development is a popular trend in many countries. According to a recent study, the global ma
27、rket for low-car-bon energy will become three times bigger over the next decade.

Besides, stronger management of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development.
30、 Finally, governments can avoid the huge pubic expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate the change from the traditional model to a sustainable one.The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of a growing popul
31、ation within the limits of this single planet. That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries.45.
