3、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有多余选项。

       1    The goal here is to limit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, which are closely associated to the big problem of global-warming.

       Strategy 1: Bring your own cup to Starbucks

       You’ll get a 10 cent discount, and it’s one less paper cup to end up in a landfill.While you’re there, pick up some free bags of spent coffee grounds to use as ‘‘green’’ fertilizer in your garden.

       The payoff:    2

       Strategy2: Turn off your computer

       When in standby mode, your PC is still using energy.   3

       The payoff: Turning off a monitor for 40 hours a week may only save $ 5 a month, but it reduces CO2 by 750 pounds

       Strategy 3: Reuse plastic bags

       Instead of throwing away 100 billion plastic bags a year, try and get a second, third, or tenth use out of them.Better yet, next time you shop, try a reusable bag.

       The payoff:     4     The amount of oil it would take to make just 14 plastic bags would run your car for one mile.

       Strategy4: Use recycled paper in the bathroom

       Most of the toilet paper we use is made from trees found in forests previously untouched by humans.

       The payoff: If every household replaced one roll of toilet paper with a recycled one, 424000 trees would still be standing.Look for eco paper towels too.

       Strategy5: Buy energy-efficient appliances(电器)

       Replace the old fridge with an Energy Star appliance and you’ll use 15 percent less energy.    5

       The payoff: If we all used one Energy Star appliance at home, it would be like planting 1.7 million acres of new trees.

       A.You can be proud of yourselves, even if you can only make one or two of these green changes.

       B.Adding green to your garden is beautiful and earth-pleasing.

       C.It might be a little expensive to buy, but you’ll save money on your electricity bills and help the environment.

       D.In fact, 75 percent of electricity used in your home comes from electronics that are turned off.

       E.You’re reducing pollution.

       F.The store won’t create more waste when they throw away a cup.

       G.Just one tree will help make cleaner air and save the environment from 5000 pounds of hot carbon dioxide each year.

       David Beckham had a dream: to be the first English player to appear in four World Cups.But now it appears that dream is over after a serious injury to his Achilles tendon (跟腱) which means he could be out of action for around six months.With this year's World Cup in South Africa only three months away, sadly Beckham looks set to miss out.The injury happened while Beckham was playing for AC Milan against AC Chievo in the Italian league.After attempting to kick the ball he fell to the ground and hobbled off the pitch before being stretchered (被担架抬走)away.

It is not yet known whether he has completely severed (切断)his Achilles tendon or only torn it.The player has now flown to Finland for assessment and treatment by a knee specialist.

       England manager Fabio Capello fears the worst for Beckham's World Cup chances.

       "We have to wait for the results of the scan but it looks like he is out of the World Cup," he said in a statement."I spoke with him after the game on Sunday night to offer my support.

       "David is a great professional and has worked very hard to be ready for the World Cup, so missing it will be a big blow."

       Beckham's former manager at American club LA Galaxy, Alexei Lalas, echoed (共鸣 )Capello's words of support:

       "It is a horrible situation for Beckham.I know how much it meant to him to be in the World Cup and how important he was to the England team.

       David Beckham is now 34 and some are asking whether this serious injury could mean his whole career is over.

       Whatever happens, as one of football's best-known and popular players, Beckham will have no shortage of encouragement from fans around the world.

       Some will remember Beckham's miraculous recovery from an Achilles injury in 2006, when he was back on the pitch after only eight weeks.

       If he could repeat the same feat in time for the World Cup it really would be the stuff of fairytales.

       So, perhaps all is not lost.Optimists will take heart from Alexei Lalas' words:

       "You never want to write off (排除) David Beckham as he has shown us his ability to bounce back (恢复原状)."
