12、e in California love to talk about zero-emissions(排放) vehicles, but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants most all use fire to make it. Apart from the few people who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators(
13、发电机). Generators are fueled by something-usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal(地热) plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something. In other words, those zero-emissions cars are likely coal-burning c
14、ars. Because the coal is burned somewhere else , it looks clean. It is not true. Its as if the California Greens are covering their eyes-If I cant see it, its not happening.” Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. But when you take that
15、 gas（or another fuel）and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat-at the generator, through the transmission lines, etc A gallon of gas may drive your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas wont get you nearl
16、y as far - so electric cars burn more fuel than gasoline-powered ones. If our electricity came mostly from wind or geothermal, or solar, then an electric car truly would be clean. But for political, technical, and economic reasons, we dont use much of those energy sources.In addition, electric cars
17、batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill. And finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When its a power plant, though，all the junk is in one place. Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentr

21、asoline-powered cousins C. zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environmentD. electric cars are not clean in that we get electricity mainly by burning somethingC“Fathers should be neither seen nor heard,” wrote Oscar Wilde. “this is the only proper basis for family life.” its hard
22、 to say what Wilde would have thought of this weeks cover photo or the pictures inside of dads and their children. Several clearly oppose the outdated idea of fathers as detached(使分开, 使分离) from the parenting process and thats just what the photographers intended. Gregory Heisler, who did the cover p
23、hotograph, says he wanted the image to show genuine affections. So, rather than use professional models, he went out and found some “real dads and their real kids.” Adds Heisler: “Instead of doing some skilful, over-produced photographs, I wanted something more authentic to the experience of being a
24、 father.” This isnt the first time that Heisler, 39, has conveyed complex ideas for the cover of TIME. His photographs have decorated the front of the magazine some 20 times, ranging from Olympic athlete Jackie Joyner-Kersee and director Davis Lynch to former President George Bush and Ted Turner for
25、 the Man of the Year issues in 1991 and 1992, respectively. But this weeks TIME cover has special meaning, he says, because he and his wife had their first child, Lucy, 16 months ago. The pictures appearing inside were all done by photographer Jeffrey Lowe. Although Lowe has not experienced fatherho
26、od yet, he observed many warm moments of parenting by spending a lot of private time with each dad and child. Of all the pictures. Lowe was most deeply touched by the father-to-be embracing his pregnant wife. While most of the credit for the pictures rightly goes to those behind the camera, cover co
27、ordinator (协调者) Linda Freeman and assistant picture editor Mary Worrell Bousquette, who work behind the scenes, also deserve praises. Freeman, for instance, had the challenging task of making arrangements for the group portrait of child movie stars that appears on page 62. Says she: “My greatest rew
28、ard is working with these talented artists.” Bousquette edited the pictures that appear inside. “I wanted our story to show the many faces of fatherhood,” she says. At least in this issue, those fathers are seen as well as heard. Sorry, Oscar.71. In this weeks TIME the photographers wanted _.A. to s
