Now, are you changing your living habits to have a low carbon life? Here are some strategies (策略) for you.

Strategy One

●Each week, choose one day when you don’t eat meat. Meat takes up lots of energy because it takes a long time to produce. And animals must be fed on farmed plants, which could be used to feed many more people.

Strategy Two

●Only buy the amount of food you need. When you buy food, go local rather than imported (进口的), and get fresh vegetables instead of frozen.

Strategy Three

●Make sure you keep the things such as paper and plastic bottles separate (独立) so that they can be recycled. There are places where you can recycle batteries. Make sure you find them.

Strategy Four

●Take showers rather than baths and reduce your shower time by two minutes. This will save water and give you an extra two minutes in bed.

Strategy Five

●Buses and trains are better than cars, but walking or cycling is better still. It’s also better for your health and cheaper. It can even be quicker than sitting in a car at rush hours in a busy city. For long distances, coaches are better than trains.

Strategy Six

●Try to buy good, long-lasting products even though they may cost a little more. A small screen TV is better than a big screen. Keep your electronic products one year longer than you would usually have.

1.What does the underline phrase “low carbon” in paragraph one mean?

2. According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?

3. What’s the purpose(目的) of the passage?

My dear friends, do you like cycling? Cycling is full     fun. When I go out, I always like it. But cycling in the UK is      from cycling in China.
First, you have to ride on the      side of the street. It’s not    as you do in China. It was the biggest difference when I first rode here.
One day when I was riding on my bike I heard someone  to me. “Wrong side! Wrong side!” I didn’t care about it at first, but soon I was     when I saw a car rushing(冲向) by me. Luckily, I was not hurt.
Second, UK bikes have two    ,a white one and a red one. The white one is in the     and the red one at the back. When you’re riding in the dark, they can keep you   . But in China, you can’t see lights on bikes in the dark.
There’s another difference between UK bikes and Chinese bikes. What? Remember. You can      your bike anywhere you like in China, but you can’t do that in the UK.
