With the theme "Cherishing the earth's resources, transforming the mode of development and living a low-carbon lifestyle," China's Ministry of Land and Resources held a ceremony this Thursday to mark the 41st World Earth Day, aims to generate new ideas of resource-saving, especially among the younger generation. In fact, Chinese young urbanities are turning to the seemingly trendy low-carbon lifestyle.

But for the country as a whole to achieve a low-carbon economy, it could mean ordinary people paying more for electricity, water, gas or simply every purchase. Of necessity, a low-carbon economy would be the basis of China's economic growth, yet it comes with a high price tag. Everybody longs for fresh air, clean water and healthy surroundings. But, who is going to pay for that?

For those who are still working hard for the basic necessities of life, sharing the cost of a greener environment can be taxing. For those who are already victimized by environmental pollution, additional expenditure for saving the environment is hard to bear. Behind all the lofty goals and loaded phrases of climate change negotiations, in everyday terms, the Chinese want to know whether companies will make them pay the cost of saving energy or whether government would come up with new levels.

They have reasons to worry. The recent hike in the charges of utilities, such as natural gas, water and electricity, have led to widespread public grievance(抱怨,牢骚), for the increases were imposed without proper public hearing. Besides the practice of monopoly State-owned enterprises raising prices at will does not seem to bode well for a low-carbon economy.

The government has a responsibility to strengthen regulation of utility charges and make the pricing mechanism more transparent. In the age of the low-carbon economy, the Chinese government needs to strike a new balance between public welfare and business competitiveness.

How far the initiatives toward a low-carbon economy succeed depends on whether they truly benefit ordinary people and is accepted by them. The majority cannot sacrifice their life to build a greener world for the few.

The author probably agrees to call on ____________.

A. more and more citizens to devote themselves to the “Low-carbon economy” for the sake of our earth immediately

B. the rich to generally pay for the bill, which aims at saving our planet.

C. our government to take proper measures to make the “Low-carbon economy” benefit more people

D. all the big enterprises to reduce their prices to build a greener world

According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?

A. Some people can’t afford their everyday expenses, let alone pay for a better environment.

B. Putting forward the “Low-carbon economy” costs much.

C. The balance between public welfare and business competitiveness in China now is not that good for the “Low-carbon economy”.

D. Now that it’s hard for us to make the “Low-carbon economy” into practice, our government should put it to an end.

The “Low-carbon economy” __________.

A. is beneficial only to the rich people

B. has led to widespread public grievance

C. can be realized when pigs fly in the sky

D. cannot be called success before it has been fully considered

What’s the best title of the passage?

A. China reaches out for younger generation to promote low-carbon lifestyle.

B. Low-carbon economy, acceptable or not?

C. Who will get the most benefit from the Low-carbon economy?

D. Put forward the new policy and save the world.

The new model is the highly interactive（互动的）learning model. We could also call it the conversational model, or the tutorial model. It is computer based, with the interaction between the student, or a small group of students, and learning programs are like the conversation between a student and a skilled tutor. Distance learning will be the main delivery method.

Student interaction with the learning material on the computer will use the student's natural language; it will seem like a conversation between a student and a human tutor. This is the key point of highly interactive, or conversational, learning units. Programs will ask questions in the student’s native language, and respond reasonably to free-form student input. Multiple choice and pointing will seldom be used; they often do not allow individualization (个体化) of education.

An important aspect of this model is that the computer will frequently store information about the student, about problems and about how far individual students have progressed. These records will be used often within the programs. Thus when a student returns to the learning activity, the computer knows about that student and knows where to begin the new part.

Global education is critical for the future, to get rid of poverty, corruption (腐败), violence and war, to solve major problems such as the lack of drinkable water, and to insure a happy life for all. Education should no longer be limited to the wealthy of the world, but should be available to everyone.

In the new distance learning environment learning can take place in markets, libraries, public buildings, learning centers, and the home. Gradually schools and universities will play a smaller role in learning, both because better learning can be delivered through such highly interactive material, and because such learning will be less costly for the individual student. Motivation (动机)is particularly important in a mastery-based distance learning, as the usual threats of traditional classrooms such as that of low grades are no longer possible.

Voice input will probably be the mode(模式) for this interaction. The new voice input systems from several companies are useful, cheap, and speaker independent in highly interactive learning. Keyboards may not be needed. Speech is a natural way for humans to communicate.

Students will work in small peer groups, about four. Other contacts with people, learning circles, will be possible, directly or electronically.

68. What is not the new model also called?

A. interactive model B. conversational model

C. tutorial model D. linguistic model

69. What does the model often use?

A. individualization of education B. multiple choice and pointing

C. questions in students’ native language D. fixed-form student input

70. What do computers detect(检查) students about?

A. Their future achievements B. Their intelligences

C. Their problems D. Their families

71. According to the passage, distance learning ____________ .

A. is still expensive for ordinary students

B. will take place mainly in classrooms.

C. will play a more important role in students’ learning.

D. will still affect badly on the low-graded students

     Moving at any time of a year is difficult, but if you have a flexible schedule and are not on a specific
timeline, there are several factors to consider when deciding when to move. Keep in mind that these
factors could also be part of a negotiation deal with your employer if you are being relocated or if
starting a new position.
     If you have children at home, it is best to work around the school calendar.  Summer is an ideal time,
as children have completed another grade and have said their goodbyes to school friends. Planning to
move directly following the end of school, however, does not give your children time to adapt to the
idea of moving, to say goodbye to neighborhood friends and their home. When setting the date, allow
a few weeks at the new destination for children to unpack and meet new neighborhood friends. They
will be better prepared for the school year if they have time to make their new house their home.  Too
much change can be detrimental to performance and emotional wellbeing.
     What works best for your children also works best for you. As part of the settling in process, take
a few days for you and your children to check out the new school, meet some teachers and find
appropriate transportation. Both you and your children will be better prepared, leading to a smoother
transition.
    When possible, avoid moving before major holidays, such as Christmas, since part of such holidays
is being with family and friends. Birthdays, and other family events can also be difficult. Give yourself
enough time in your new place before the holiday season begins to meet new people and feel a sense
of community. Better yet, save your move for immediately following a holiday. Holidays provide a
perfect opportunity for goodbyes and final gettogethers.
     Most people would agree that summer is the best time to move. Children are out of school, the
weather is almost guaranteed to be perfect and friends are available to help. If this is your ideal time to
move, make sure you check moving company schedules and rates before confirming your move date.
  Most companies have peak times and will charge higher rates accordingly. Also, if you are planning
to move at peak times, you will need to be better organized to ensure that a moving company or a
moving truck is available for the date and times you require. Keep in mind that the level of the service
often changes between the summer months, when students replace fulltime experienced movers, and
offseason.
     As much as summer could cost you more, winter, as common sense indicates, is also not an ideal
time to move. Travel is difficult, both for you and your family, along with the moving company.  Items
kept overnight in a truck under freezing conditions may result in damaged goods.  If you are moving
from one climate to another, water damage may occur when the mode of transport that is moving your
household items travels from a cold environment to a warmer climate. Freezing and thawing cause the
most damage if items are not properly sealed.

1. According to the passage, before moving children usually ________.
   A. meet new neighborhood friends
   B. pack their package
   C. say goodbye to neighborhood friends
   D. complete their grades

2. What is the disadvantage of moving in summer?
   A. The weather.
   B. Moving company schedules.
   C. The changeable level of the service.
   D. Without friends' help.

3. According to the passage, when is the best time to move?
   A. Winter.
   B. Vacations.
   C. Major holidays.
   D. Summer.
