1970 was World Conservation (保护) Year. The United Nations wanted everyone to know that the world is in danger. They hoped that governments (政府) would act quickly to conserve nature (保护自然) . Here is one example of the problem. At one time there were 1 300 different plants, trees and flowers in Holland but now only 866 remain (剩余) . The others have been destroyed by modern man and his technology. We are changing the earth, the air, water and everything that grows and lives. We can't live without these things. If things go like this, we shall destroy ourselves.
What will happen in the future? Perhaps it is more important to ask, “What must we do now?” The people who will be living in the world of tomorrow are the young of today. A lot of them know conservation is necessary. Many are helping to save our world. They plant trees, build bridges across rivers in forests and so on. In a small town in the United States, a large number of girls cleaned the banks of 11 kilometres of their river. Young people may hear about conservation through a record called “No one's going to change our world.” It was made by the Beatles, Cliff Richard and other singers. The money from it will help to conserve animals.

查看习题详情和答案>>If you are like most people, your intelligence (智力) changes with the seasons, you are probably a lot
sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of year. A famous scientist, Ellsworth Huntington
(1876-1947),concluded (总结) that climate and temperature have an effect (作用) on your mental
abilities(智力).
He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative (激活) thinking than summer heat. This
does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It
does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.
Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring man's
mental abilities are affected (受影响) by the same factors (因素) that bring about great changes in
nature .
Fall is the next-best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long
vacation from thinking.
