Strategy 1: Bring your own cup to Starbucks | |
You'll get a 10-cent discount, and it's one less paper cup to end up in a dustbin | The store won't create more waste when they throw away a cup |
Strategy 2: Turn off your computer | |
When in standby mode, your PC is still using energy | Turning off a monitor for 40 hours a week may only save $ 5 a month, but it reduces CO2 by 750 pounds |
Strategy 3: Reuse plastic bags | |
Instead of throwing away 100 billion plastic bags a year, try and get a second, third, or tenth use out of them. Better yet, next time you shop, try a reusable bag | You're reducing pollution. The amount of oil it would take to make just 14 plastic bags would run your car for one mile |
Strategy 4: Use recycled paper in the bathroom | |
Most of the toilet paper we use is made from trees found in forests previously untouched by humans | If every household replaced one roll of toilet paper with a recycled one,424,000trees would still be standing. Look for eco paper towels too |
Strategy 5: Buy energy-efficient appliances(电器) | |
Replace the old fridge with an Energy Star appliance and you'll use 15 percent less energy. It might be a little expensive to buy, but you'll save money on your electricity bills and help the environment | If we all used one Energy Star appliance at home, it would be like planting 1.7 million acres of new trees |
Strategy 6: Plant a tree | |
Adding green to your garden is beautiful and earth-pleasing | Just one tree will help make cleaner air and save the environment from 5, 000 pounds of hot carbon dioxide each year |

Elderly adults who regularly drink green tea may stay more active and independent than their peers over time,according to a Japanese study that covered thousands of people.
Green tea contains antioxidant chemicals that may help ward off the cell damage that can lead to disease.Researchers have been studying green tea's effect on everything from cholesterol(胆固醇)to the risk of certain cancers,with mixed results so far.
For the new Japanese study,researchers decided to examine the question of whether green tea drinkers have a lower risk of frailty and disability as they grow older.
Tomata and his colleagues followed nearly 14,000 adults aged 65 or older for three years.
They found those who drank the most green tea were the least likely to develop “functional disability”,or problems with daily activities or basic needs,such as dressing or bathing.
Specifically,almost 13 percent of adults who drank less than a cup of green tea per day became functionally disabled,compared with just over 7 percent of people who drank at least five cups fl day.
The study did not prove that green tea alone kept people active as they grew older.
Green-tea lovers generally had healthier diets,including more fish,vegetables and fruit,as well as more education.lower smoking rates,fewer heart attacks and strokes,and greater mental sharpness.
They also tended to be more socially active and have more friends and family to rely on.
Although it's not clear how green tea might offer a buffer(缓冲剂)against disability,Tomata's team did note that one recent study found green tea extracts(提炼物)seem to increase leg muscle strength in older women.
While green tea and its extracts are considered safe in small amounts,they do contain caffeine and small amounts of vitamin K,which means it could block drugs that prevent blood thickened.
【小题1】Which of the following can summarize the passage best?
A.Green tea makes you less active. |
B.Green tea makes you less disabled. |
C.Green tea makes you more friendly. |
D.Green tea makes you more educated. |

B.know if green tea drinkers are independent |
C.help nearly 14,000 adults aged 65 or older |
D.study green tea's effect on cholesterol |
A.Reduce functional disability. |
B.Keep old people active. |
C.Make more friends. |
D.Suffer fewer heart attacks. |
A.green tea is safe to drink |
B.green tea should be drunk properly |
