17、lanting the vegetable garden. For a while, the boy seemed to like it too. His small fingers were just the right size to pick up tiny seeds and drop them into Granddad-made holes. They were a great team. But before long the boy became restless and directed his anger at the seeds themselves. “Whats th
18、is one, Granddad?” “Beets (甜菜).” “Ugh, I hate beets.” “Well, then, lets do the pumpkin instead.” “Yuck. I really hate pumpkin.” “Okay, buddy. What would you like to plant?” “How about doughnuts (油炸圈饼)?” Just in time, the grandfather stopped himself from saying there was no such thing as a doughnut s

25、 President Obama on Tuesday told reporters that the United States was determined to work with China and other countries to help produce a substantive （实质性的）agreement in Copenhagen climate talks.He and Mr. Hu also discussed a series of partnerships on energy. David Sandalow, who is in China as part o
26、f the Obama administrations climate team, said it was his fifth trip to China in six months and he was convinced that clean energy has become a top priority for Chinese leaders in their dealings with the United States. “This issue is now central to the bilateral（双边的） relationship in a way thats beco
27、me exciting,” said Mr. Sandalow, “A year or two ago I couldnt have imagined that.” He provided some more details on the planned joint(联合) clean-energy research center, saying its $150 million budget would be equally divided between the two countries, with a headquarters established in both as well.
28、“The aim is to find ways to bring together the best researchers in each country to help solve some of the most important challenges facing the world,” he said, giving out three prime targets: l Clean vehicles(交通工具), both electric and powered by various fuels.l Energy efficiency in buildings (this is
29、 particularly important considering the pace with which China and other developing countries are constructing new cities).l Technology for controlling emissions(排放) from coal-burning power plants, including those already built. “The world has a huge number of existing coal plants,” Mr. Sandalow said
30、. “Unless we find ways to control the carbon emissions from those plants at affordable rates were going to keep warming the planet.”Mr. Sandalow said he was also convinced that China has made climate change itself, and not just the pressing real-time issue of energy security, a real priority now. “I

36、f middle school, according to the results of a recent survey, The Daily Yomiuri has reported.The survey of 2,967 second-year students at 33 public schools was conducted in January and February by the Benesse Corporation, an educational service provider in Japan. It suggests that students are most mo
37、tivated to learn English at the very beginning of their study, with 43.6 percent of them indicating this. However, within a year, the enthusiasm wanes and most students begin to identify themselves as weak in the subject. Out of the 61.8 percent of the students who say they are “rather weak” or “ver
38、y weak” in the language, 26.6 percent choose “the latter half of the first year” as the period they began feeling that way, followed by “the beginning of the first year”, with 16.2 percent. Nearly 12 percent say they lost confidence “before entering middle school.”When asked about what they struggle
39、d with, 78.6 percent selected “grammar”, while 72.7 percent replied that they “got lower test scores than expected.”The students were also asked to predict the role English would play in their future.

47、dLimiting or taxing plastic shopping bags. In the United States, San Francisco, California, became the first American city to ban non-biodegradable (不能生物降解的) plastic bags.Sunset Scavenger dump is home to the waste of some 820,000 San Francisco residents(居民). The waste is mostly made up of plastic ba
48、gs. “Plastic bags are cheap to produce, and light to take. Also, they bring great convenience to customers. That is why they are widely used,” said Robert Reed, spokesman for Sunset Scavenger Waste. “However, they are hard to recycle and they often end up in places they should not be. They blow into
49、 marshes, and onto farms. They wind up in the bay, and in the current, and they wind up out in the ocean. They are a threat to marine(海洋的) life,” Reed said.These disadvantages, and the fact that the city uses nearly 180 million plastic bags a year, are what caused San Francisco Supervisor Ross Mirka
50、rimi to write a bill banning plastic bags. But he hopes the law will inspire people to do more than that. Mirkarimi said, “Bringing your own recycling bags is our goal.”“Bringing your own” is a concept shopper Sabina Talia-Ferro was already familiar with. “In Holland, they never give you a bag, and
51、you have to bring your own bags, so I was used to that already,” she said. Other shoppers have happily cooperated with the ban. Grocers too. Store owner Sam Mogannam says he now pays 10 times more to provide paper bags to customers than he did with plastic. “The only impact was the increase in cost,
52、 and it wasnt a cost we were opposed to taking,” he said.Title: San Francisco bans plastic bagsParagraph OutlineSupporting Details (1)_ _ of the topicl Many countries are now limiting the use of plastic bags.l San Francisco was the first city to ban plastic bags in the USA.Reasons for the 2)_ of pla
