PART FOUR WRITING
Read the following passage．Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information for the passage．Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer．
A Low-Carbon Economy(LCE)refers to an economy which has a minimal emission of greenhouse gas(GHG), namely, carbon dioxide into the biosphere(生物圈)．Recently, most of the scientists and the public hold the opinion that the climate is changing because there is such an accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere due to human activities．The over-concentration of these gases is producing global warming that affects long-term climate, with negative impacts on humanity in the foreseeable future．LCE, therefore, is proposed as a means to avoid catastrophic climate change．
All nations which are considered carbon intensive societies and societies which are heavily populated should become zero-carbon societies and economies．Several of these countries have promised to become 'low carbon' but not entirely zero carbon, and claim that emissions will be cut by 100％ by balancing emissions rather than ceasing all emissions．
Nuclear power and the strategies of carbon capture and storage(CCS)have been proposed as the primary means to achieve a LCE while continuing to exploit non-renewable resources．Scientists are afraid, however, whether the spent-nuclear-fuel can be stored, and whether it is secure．Also they are not certain about the costs and time needed to successfully implement CCS worldwide and whether the stored emissions will leak into the biosphere or not．Alternatively, many have proposed renewable energy should be the main basis of a LCE, but, they have their associated problems of high-cost and inefficiency; this is changing, however, since investment and production have been growing significantly in recent times．Furthermore, it has been proposed that to make the transition to an LCE economically attractive we would have to attach a cost(per unit output)to GHGs through means such as emissions trading and/or a carbon tax．
A LCE is aimed to integrate all aspects of itself from its manufacturing, agriculture, transportation to power-generation around technologies that produce energy and materials with little GHG emission and thus around populations, buildings, machines and devices which use those energies and materials efficiently and dispose of or recycle its wastes so as to have a minimal output of GHGs．

Do you want to love what you do for a living? Follow your passion. This piece of advice provides the foundation for modern thinking on career satisfaction. But this can be a problem.
I've spent the past several years researching and writing about the different strategies we use to seek happiness in our work. It became clear early in the process that the suggestion to “follow your passion” was flawed (有缺陷), for it lacks scientific evidence. However, it doesn't mean you should abandon the goal of feeling passionate about your work. The reality emphasizes that things are quite complicated.
Passion is earned. Different people are looking for different things in their work, but generally, people with satisfying careers enjoy some combination of the following features: autonomy，respect, competence, creativity, and a sense of impact. In other words，if you want to feel passionate about your livelihood，don't seek the perfect job，but seek to get more of these features in the job you already have.
Passion is elusive (难捉摸的). Many people develop the rare and valuable skills leading to passion, but still end up unhappy in their work. The problem is that the features leading you to love your work are more likely to be useful to you than your organization. As you become increasingly “valuable”，for example, your boss might push you toward traditional promotions that come with more pay and more responsibility, as this is what is most useful to your company. However, you might find more passion by applying your value to gain autonomy in your schedule or project selection.
Passion is dangerous. I've watched too many of my peers fall into anxiety and chronic(慢性的) job-hopping (跳槽) due to the “follow your passion” advice. The issue is expectations. If you believe we all have a pre-existing passion, and that matching it to a job will lead to instant workplace happiness, reality will always pale in comparison.
Work is hard. Not every day is fun. If you're seeking a dream job, you'll end up frustrated, again and again. Don't set out to discover passion. Instead, set out to develop it. This path might be longer and more complicated than what most cheerful career guides might advocate, but it's a path much more likely to lead you somewhere worth going.
