Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of. However, today, more and more consumers are choosing “green” and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: “Will this shampoo damage the environment?” “Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?”

A recent study showed that two out of five adults now consider the environmental safety of a product before they buy it. This means that companies must now change the way they make and sell their products to make sure that they are “green”, that is, friendly to the environment.

Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds. Some supermarket products carry labels (标签) to show that the products are green. Some companies have made the manufacturing (生产) of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising.

The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business. No longer will the public accept the old attitude of “Buy it, use it, throw it away and forget it.” The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.

1．It becomes clear from the text that the driving force (劳力) behind green products is________.

A. public caring for the environment

B. companies' desire for bigger sales

C. new ways of doing business

D. rapid growth of supermarkets

2．What would be the best title for the text?

A. Business and People

B. Business Goes Green

C. Shopping Habits Are Changing

D. Supermarkets and Green Products

3．The underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refers to ________.

A. a selling point

B. the company name

C. a great demand for health foods

D. the manufacturing of green products

答案：1A2B3D
解析：

1.　　 However, today, more and more consumers are choosing “green” and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. 根据这句可知正确答案为A。

2.　　本文主要讲的是，现在公众为了保护环境都选择绿色产品，因此企业都开始转向生产绿色产品，所以最佳题目应该为B。

3.　　根据句子的意思判断，it指的是生产绿色产品这个事实。

     Many animal lovers would like to do more to help animals, but aren't sure where to start
or feel like they just don't have the time. The good news is that there are many simple things
you can do to help protect animals.
     Think twice before you decide
     The decisions you make when it comes to eating meat or other animal products can go
a long way toward stopping the killing of animals. Consider eating a vegetarian(素食的)
diet. If you aren't ready to make this change, there are still things you can do. Do not buy
animal products from companies known to use practices that go against the law such as
using drugs to increase milk production in cows.
     Help get the word out
     Getting the word out about the problems faced by animals can be as easy as putting up
a notice on your car. Also, talk to your friends and family members about important issues
that are related to animals. Give some simple advice to a friend with a new pet about the
serious pet over-population problem we're facing. Turn to some books on the subject if
you are not so clear about the advice you give your friend.
     Write a letter
     We've all heard the saying, " The pen is more powerful than the sword". Put this idea
to the protection of animals. If a company has practices or rules that are harmful to animals,
write them a letter to let them know you are angry about them, and that you won't buy their
products until they make some changes. Write letters to state and local legislators(立法者)
to let them know how important it is that they support legislation that protects animals. Make
them know that their actions will have a great effect on your vote.
     Be more loving
     If you're considering adding a dog or a cat to your family, think about getting one from a
homeless-animal house rather than buying a pet. There are many wonderful animals just
waiting for a home. By taking back an animal from there, you will be helping in the fight
against pet over-population, as well as giving your money to those who are responsible for
taking care of pitiful animals.
     Let your actions be an example to others
     It may sound simple, but one of the best ways to help animals is to let your actions speak
to the world. You should do the following things first by yourself: Treat all living creatures
with respect. Care about your pets and look after them well. Avoid (避免)entertainment
places that use animals to perform. Support legislation (立法)that protects animals. All of
these things set an example for others to follow.

     Many people catch a cold in the springtime or fall. It makes us wonder… if scientists can send a man to
the moon, why can't they find a cure for the common cold? The answer is easy. There are actually
hundreds of kinds of cold viruses out there. You never know which one you will get, so there isn't a cure
for each one.
     When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it. Blood rushes to your nose and
cause a block in it. You feel terrible because you can't breathe well, but your body is actually eating the
virus. Your temperature goes up and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells. You may feel miserable, but actually your
wonderful body is doing every- thing it can to kill the cold.
     Different people have different cures for Colds. In the United States and some other countries, for
example, people might eat chicken soup to make themselves" feel better. Some people take hot baths and
drink warm liquids (流汁). Other people take medicine to stop Various symptoms (症状) of colds.
     There is one interesting thing to note" some scientists say taking medicines when you have a cold is
actually bad for you. The virus stays in you longer because your body doesn't have a way to fight it and kill
it.
Bodies can do an amazing job on their own. There is a joke, however, on taking medicine when you have a cold. It goes like this:
     It takes about one week to get over a cold if you don't take medicine, but it takes only seven days
to ~et over a cold if you take medicine.
