In November of 2007, NBC Universal launched its first official Green Week． Throughout the week, NBC Universal presented over 150 hours of environmentally themed content across multiple platforms．
Now, NBC Universal is proud to present Green Week 2009． With a new theme and message of "Green Your Routine," Here at NBC and NB C．com we celebrate our talent in the "The More You Know" PSA campaign, presenting green-themed tips in several of our daytime life, among several other features here on the "Green Your Routine" site．
Fashion & Beauty
Throw a clothes swap party! Dying for that sweater your friend wore the other day? Well, maybe she’ll trade for that old T-shirt you have． Here’s a website that helps you organize a swap party （www．swapstyle．com）, or just plan your own!
Go natural with organic make-up． Applying unnatural products directly on your skin wasn’t exactly what nature intended． Try switching to a line of organic make-up and cosmetics for a different way to bring out your natural beauty．
Home
Drop a brick in your toilet tank! Literally! According to the EPA, flushing（冲洗）makes up 30 percent of a household’s water use （about three to six gallons per flush）． By placing a brick in your toilet tank, you can help to conserve the amount of water used during each flush．
Work
Print smarter． Printing and copying can be one of the most costly operations in any office． To save on ink and paper costs, print double-sided and try to fit more than one page on a sheet． More printing tips can be found here: lifehacker．com
Turn off your computer． Do you leave your computer on overnight? If so, you’re using up a good amount of electricity． When you can, try turning off your computer and the power strip it’s connected to． If you can’t, at least shut off your monitor．
Transportation
Organize a carpool． There are many benefits to carpooling（拼车）． You save on gas, reduce wear and tear on your car, and you get to ride in the HOV lanes． Get connected with your neighbors and co-workers to start sharing rides and check out this website for more tips: www．erideshare．com．
Lose the car, get a bike． If you live close to where you work, try taking a bike instead of driving． You’ll keep in shape and save on gas!
Every small step and effort makes a difference! Be sure to GREEN YOUR ROUTINE!

Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences .Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars . Often they relive (重新体验) these experiences in nightmares .

Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill ,which will help people forget bad memories . The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience . They hope it might reduce , or possible erase (抹去) the effect of painful memories .

In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain . So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced , not that the memories are eased .

The research has caused a great deal of argument . Some think it is a bad idea , while others support it . Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after war .

They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories . “Some memories can ruin people’s lives . They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare . They usually come with very painful emotions ,” said Roger Pitman , a professor of psychiatry (精神病学) at Harvard Medical School. “This could relieve a lot of that suffering .”

But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity (物质). They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past . “All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are . I’m not sure we’d want to wipe those memories out.” said Rebecca Dresser , a medical ethicist (伦理学家).

Some people fear that although the drug would first be used in only very serious cases , it would become more and more common . “People always have the ability to misuse science,” said Joeph Le Doux, a New York University memory researcher . “All we want to do is help people have better control of memories .”

What’s the main idea of the text ?

A．People often suffer from bad memories .

B．American researchers are trying to develop a pill .

C．Forget bad memories , and be happy .

D．The research has cause a heated argument .

The underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refers to “ ”.

A．the new drug B．the research into the drug

C．the memory D．the chemical in the drug

Which of the following is not the opinion of the supporters ?

A．The pill can erase all the memories in the past

B．Some memories can ruin people’s lives. The pill can relieve emotional suffering .

C．The pill can also help many other types of people who suffer from terrible memories .

D．The pill can also prevent or treat troubling memories in soldiers after war

Which of the following is not the opinion of the opponents (反对者)?

A．Our memories give us our identity .

B．The memories help humanity avoid mistake of the past .

C．The drug should be used in only very serious cases .

D．People may not be sure whether they want to wipe the memories out .

It could be inferred from the passage that .

A．the pill has been developed and will be more and more common

B．the pill has helped soldiers forget bad experiences during the war .

C．The pill is being tested on some people by some researchers .

D．The pill will be forbidden because people have different opinions of it .

Hilton Shanghai, the city's first international hotel, has been recognized as a top business hotel in Shanghai for its convenient location and outstanding facilities for more than 20 years.
However, the hotel's newly appointed general manager Gerd Knaust says it is the people that make the hotel successful.
More than 380 employees have been working with the hotel for more than 15 years. Some of them have personal relationships with customers.
''It's a people-relation business,'' Knaust says. ''They really tell me about the stories in the last 15 years. It's something very nice to listen to. It's also a lasting memory for the guests.''
In fact, over the years, some of the guests have stayed in the hotel 200 or even 300 times.
Knaust, who has been working in the hospitality industry for more than 30 years, started his career as a chef in Germany. During his early 30s, Knaust already moved to the top in the culinary (烹调的) field as director of kitchen of Hyatt Regency Cologne in Germany.
After holding several general manager positions in Mandarin Oriental hotels, Knaust joined Hilton International as the general manager to open the Conrad and Doubletree by Hilton at Haitang Bay, Sanya in 2010.
When he was appointed as the general manager of Hilton Shanghai in November, he not only was heavily involved in recruitment, sales and marketing strategies but also he worked closely with the food and beverage team to develop the hotel's restaurant concepts and menus.
''I believe that we should offer quality and healthy food.'' he says.

A．what B．that C．which D．it

The ocean bottom，a region nearly 2.5 times greater than the total land area of the Earth， is even today largely unexplored. Until about a century ago，the deep-ocean floor was completely inaccessible and hidden beneath waters averaging over 3，600 meters deep. Totally without light and subjected to intense pressures hundreds of times greater than at the Earth's surface，the deep-ocean bottom is a strange environment to humans，in some ways as forbidding and remote as the outer space.

Although researchers have taken samples of deep-ocean rocks for over a century，the first detailed global study of the ocean bottom did not actually start until 1968，with the beginning of the National Science Foundation's Deep Sea Drilling Project ( DSDP). Using techniques first developed for the offshore oil and gas industry，the DSDP's drill ship，the Glomar Challenger，was able to maintain a steady position on the ocean's surface and drill in very deep waters，taking samples of rock from the ocean floor.

The Glomar Challenger completed 96 voyages in a 15-year-research program that ended in November 1983. During this time，it sailed 600，000 kilometers and took almost

20，000samples of rocks around the world. Those samples have allowed geologists to reconstruct what the planet looked like hundreds of millions of years ago and to make out what it will probably look like millions of years in the future. Today，largely on the strength of evidence gathered during the Glomar Challenger's voyages，nearly all earth scientists agree on the theories of plate tectonics (构造学) and continental drift that explains many of the geological processes.

The samples of rocks drilled by the Glomar Challenger have also provided a climatic record stretching back hundreds of millions of years. The information of past climatic changes can be used to predict future climates.

1.The underlined word" inaccessible" in Line 3 means .

A. unrecognizable B. unreachable C. unusable D. unreasonable

2.Why does the author mention "outer space" in the first paragraph?

A.The Earth's climate millions of years ago was similar to that in outer space.

B.It is similar to the ocean floor in being strange to the humans.

C.Rock formations in outer space are similar to those found on the ocean floor.

D.Techniques used by scientists to explore outer space were similar to those used in ocean exploration.

3.Which of the following is TRUE of the Glomar Challenger?

A. It is a type of submarine. B. It is an ongoing project.

C. It has gone on over 100 voyages. D. It made its first DSDP voyage in 1968.

4.The Deep Sea Drilling Project was significant because it was .

A.an attempt to find new sources of oil and gas

B.the first extensive exploration of the ocean bottom

C.made up of geologists from all over the world

D.supported entirely by the gas and oil industry

5.Which is NOT mentioned in the passage as being a result of the Deep Sea Drilling Project?

A.Geologists were able to determine the Earth's appearance millions of years ago.

B.Two geological theories became more widely accepted by scientists.

C.Geologists observed forms of life never before seen.

D.Information was revealed about the Earth's past climatic changes.
