Our government is trying hardly to build an energy-saving society. It is everyone duty to help reach this goal.

However, not everybody have realized the importance of it. For example, sometimes lights and computers are still on after the classes. Some students even forget to turn off the tap after using it and have water running all the time. Usually only one side of our paper is used, caused much waste.

It’s time we do something to avoid this kind of waste. Remember to turn off the tap immediately after using it. Make sure that all the lights and other electric facility are turned off when we leave the rooms. What’s more, paper should be printed and written on both sides.

In a word, if everybody has the aware of reducing waste and saving energy, we can contribute our society.

Riding a London subway, a person from China will notice one major difference: In London, commuters(乘车上下班的人)do not look at each other.   71   That’s not rudeness—people are just too busy to bother looking.

Busy doing what, you ask? Well, they’re certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet reflection. Nor are they reading a book.   72   Today the only acceptable form of book on the London Underground is an e-book.

   73   Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007, over 40,000—yes, that’s 40,000—“apps”(programs downloaded for the iPhone)have been designed.

Commuters love them because they are the perfect time—filler. One “app”, called iShoot, is a game that features tanks. Another one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination. ISteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphone,   74   

For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be the distraction of choice. It’s not just teenagers who “plug in” to their music—iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages.

And if games, e-books and music aren’t enough to keep you occupied. Then perhaps you would prefer a film? The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV show or film on the way to work.

   75   
A. Modern Londoner are fancy victims.

B. New technology has replaced quiet habits.

C. In fact, eye contact is avoided at al times.

D. Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters.

E. You can then write the “steam” on your phone screen.

F. Technology is changing the way London commuters spend their traveling time.

G. With this distraction, it’s amazing that people still remember to get off the train.

Mark Ramirez, a senior executive at AOL, could work in the comfortable leather chair, if he wanted. No, thanks. He prefers to stand most of the day at a desk raised above stomach level.

“I’ve got my knees bent. I feel totally alive,” he said. “It feels more natural to stand.”

In the past few years, standing has become the new sitting for 10 percent of AOL employees at the firm’s Virginia branch. Part of a standing popularity is among accountants, programmers, telemarketers and other office workers across the nation.

GeekDesk, a California firm that sells desks raised by electric motors, says sales will triple this year.

Standers give various reasons for taking to their feet: It makes them feel more focused, prevents drowsiness, makes them feel like a general even if they just push paper. (Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfels works standing up. So does novelist Philip Roth.)

But unknown to them, a debate is spreading among ergonomics experts and public-health researchers about whether all office workers should be encouraged to stand—to save lives.

Dostors point to surprising new research showing higher rates of diabetes, obesity, heart disease and even mortality among people who sit for long stretches. A study earlier this year in the American Journal of Epidemiology showed that among 123,000 adults followed over 14 years, those who sat more than six hours a day were at least 18 percent more likely to die during the time period studied than those who sat less than three hours a day.

“showed that among 123,000 adults followed over 14 years, those who sat more than six hours a day were at least 18 percent more likely to die during the time period studied than those who sat less than three hours a day.

“Every rock we turn over when it comes to sitting is astonishing,” said Marc Hamilton, a leading researcher on inactivity physiology at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Louisiana. “Sitting is harmful. It’s dangerous. We are on the cusp of a major revolution.” He calls sitting “the new smoking”.

Not so fast, other experts say. Standing too much at work will cause more long-term back injuries. Incidences of varicose veins among women will increase. The heart will have to pump more.

Hedge, the Cornell professor, isn’t a fan of all this standing. “Making people stand all day is dumb,” he said.

The sensible and most cost-effective strategy, he said, is to sit in a neutral posture, slightly reclined, with the keyboard on a tray above the lap. This position promotes positive blood flow. Workers should occasionally walk around, stretch and avoid prolonged periods at the desk. The key, he said, is movement, not standing.

Cyber language is popular among Chinese netizens, who create English words to reflect novel phenomenon in society.

“Geilivable”, combining pinyin of Chinese characters Geili(giving strength) with the English, suffix for—adjectives, literally means “giving power” or “cool”. Similarly, “hengeilivable” means “very cool”, and “ungeilivable” means “dull, not cool at all”. “Antizen” refers to the group of college graduates who, earning a small salary and living in small rented apartments, are like the tiny and laborious ants.

David Tool, a professor with the Beijing International Studies University said it’s very interesting to combine Chinese with English to create new words. “English is no longer mysterious to the Chinese people. They can use the language in a flexible way according to their own experiences,” he said. Chinese words and expressions were created, as well, by netizens. One example was “Suan Ni Hen”. This three-character expression, which originally meant “you win” with the first character carrying the same pronunciation as garlie in Chinese, is used to satirize(讽刺)high garlie and food prices this winter.

Chinese people use the character “bei” before a verb to show a passive voice, and it is used by netizens to show the helplessness in front of false conclusions and fake media reports. For instance, “zisha” means “suicide” while “beizisha” means “be officially presumed to have committed suicide”, and “xiaokang” means “fairly comfortable life” while “beixiaokang” means “be said to be living a fairly comfortable life”.

Wu Zhongmin, a professor at the Party School of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, saw the phenomenon of word creation as a natural response of young people to social issues. “Cyber language is more vivid and it shortens people’s distances,” he said.

One girl decided to study judo(柔道)although she had lost her left arm in a car accident.

The girl began lessons with an old Japanese judo instructor. The girl was ding well. So she couldn’t understand why, after three months of training, the instructor had taught her only one move.

“Instructor,” the girl finally said, “Shouldn’t I be learning more moves?”

“This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know,” the instructor replied.

Not quite understanding, but believing in her teacher, the girl kept training.

Several months later, the instructor took the girl to her first tournament. Surprising herself, the girl easily won her first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, her opponent became impatient and charged. The girl skillfully used her one move to win the match. Still amazed by her success, the girl was now in the finals.

This time, her opponent was bigger, stronger and more experienced. For a while, the girl appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that the girl might get hurt, the referee called a time-out. She was about to stop the match when the instructor intervened(干预).

“No,” the instructor insisted, “Let her continue.”

Soon after the match restarted, her opponent made a serious mistake: she dropped her guard. Instantly, the girl used her move to pin her opponent. The girl had won the match and the tournament. She was the champion.

On the way home, the girl and her teacher reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the girl gathered the courage to ask what was really on her mind.

“Instructor, how did I win the tournament with only one move?”

“You won for two reasons,” the teacher answered. “First, you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. Second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm.”

The girl’s biggest weakness had become her biggest strength.

C. She learnt several moves.                        D. She won the first two matches hard.

59. Which of the following is probably the best title of the story?
