16、a DePasquales. BIn my everyday life, I am on an ongoing journey to figure out different ways to reduce my carbon footprint on the planet. A carbon footprint is the measure of influence our activities have on the environment, in particular climate change. It is calculated by the amount of greenhouse
17、gas we produce in our daily lives. Fortunately, nowadays it is much easier to make eco-friendly lifestyle choices than, lets say, 20 years ago. But one question has been on my mind a lot lately: is it better to buy new eco-friendly products or used traditionally produced goods?After doing some resea
18、rch, I have decided that some things are better new and others are better used. Let me try to explain. A carbon footprint is made up of two parts, the primary footprint and the secondary footprint. The primary footprint is a measure of our direct emissions（排放）of carbon dioxide（CO2）from the burning o
19、f fuels, including household energy consumption and transportation. The secondary footprint is a measure of the indirect CO2 emissions from the whole lifecycle of products we use-those related to their production and breakdown. Based on this understanding, we have a good deal of control and responsi
20、bility over our carbon footprint. Things like dishes, clothes and furniture fall into the “secondary footprint” group, so less is more and we can focus on finding used goods to avoid the added production. However, for the car and the other appliances（设备）that we need we can go with new, energy-saving
21、 models. I heard somewhere that electronics and appliances give off 90% of their carbon footprint after they leave the factory. So it seems most reasonable to go for the energy-saving models. The main concern here is the amount of energy that goes into the making of new products and whether or not t
22、hat extra carbon is worth the footprint the product will make once it gets to you. 24. What is the text mainly about? A. What appliances to buy to save energy. B. What a carbon footprint means in our life. C. How to identify different carbon footprints. D. How to make eco-friendly lifestyle choices.
23、 25. What do we know about the secondary carbon footprint? A. It is related to our consumption of fuels. B. It is made when we are buying the products. C. It is less harmful than the primary carbon footprint. D. It is counted as ours though not directly made by us. 26. Which of the following helps r
24、educe our carbon footprint according to the author? A. Using second-hand textbooks. B. Using old and expensive cars. C. Buying new but cheap clothes. D. Buying new wooden furniture. 27. The footprint underlined in the last sentence refers to the CO2 produced in _. A. using the product B. recycling t
25、he productC. making the product D. transporting the productCHospitality refers to the relationship between a guest and a host, where the host receives the guest with goodwill, including the reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or strangers. Louis de Jaucourt describes hospitality in the
26、Encyclopdia as the virtue of a great soul that cares for the whole universe through the ties of humanity.Hospitality originated (起源) from the Latin hospes, which means “stranger” or “enemy”. In the West today hospitality is rarely a matter of protection and survival and is more associated with polit
27、eness and entertainment. However, it still involves showing respect for ones guests, providing for their needs, and treating them as equals. It is expected to show hospitality to strangers, as opposed to personal friends or members of ones ingroup.In ancient Greece, hospitality was a guests divine r
28、ight, with the host being expected to make sure the needs of his guests were met. The ancient Greek term xenia, or theoxenia when a god was involved, expressed this ritualized (仪式化的) guest-friendship relation. In Greek society a persons ability to obey the laws of hospitality determined nobility and
29、 social standing.In India, hospitality is based on the principle “the guest is God”. This principle is shown in a number of stories where a guest turned out to be a god who rewards the provider of hospitality. From this originates the Indian practice of graciousness towards guests at home and in all
30、 social situations.Celtic (凯尔特人的) societies also valued the concept of hospitality, especially in terms of protection. A host was expected not only to provide food and shelter for his/her guests, but to make sure they did not come to harm while under their care.28. What did Louis de Jaucourt think o
31、f hospitality?A. A relationship between a master and a servant.B. A noble morality to treat humans in the world.C. A social standard to measure ones intelligence.D. An academic tradition passed on from ancient times.29. What can we infer about hospitality in the West now?A. It means the hosts must p
32、rotect their guests in danger.B. It is unnecessary to show hospitality to close friends.C. It has become a ceremony to treat any visiting guest.D. It has different degrees to show respect for different guests.30. Which of the following people used to regard hospitality as a social standard?A. Greeks
33、.B. Indians.C. Celts.D. Latinos.31. What might be the reason for Indians hospitality?A. The guestsrewards.B. The social situations.C. The laws of hospitality. D. The Indians kindness.DEarthquakes usually happen on the edges of large sections of the Earths plates. These plates slowly move over a long
34、 period of time. Sometimes the edges, which are called fault lines, can get stuck, but the plates keep moving. Pressure slowly starts to build up where the edges are stuck and, once the pressure gets strong enough, the plates will suddenly move causing an earthquake.Generally before and after a larg
35、e earthquake there will be smaller earthquakes. The ones that happen before are called foreshocks. The ones that happen after are called aftershocks. Scientists dont really know if an earthquake is a foreshock until the bigger earthquake occurs.Shock waves from an earthquake that travel through the
36、ground are called seismic waves (地震波). They are most powerful at the centre of the earthquake, but they travel through much of the earth and back to the surface. They move quickly at 20 times the speed of sound.Scientists use seismic waves to measure how big an earthquake is. They use a device calle
37、d a seismograph (地震仪) to measure the size of the waves. The size of the waves is called the magnitude.To tell the strength of an earthquake scientists use a scale called the Moment Magnitude Sale or MMS (it used to be called the Richter scale). The larger the number on the MMS, the larger the earthq
38、uake. You usually wont even notice an earthquake unless it measures at least a 3 on the MMS. Here are some examples of what may happen depending on the scale:4.0-Could shake your house as if a large truck were passing close by. Some people may not notice.5. 0-If you are in a car, it may shake. Glass
39、es and dishes may rattle. Windows may break.6. 0-Items will fall off shelves. Walls in some houses may crack and windows break.
