11.Want to save the environment?You probably can't fix everything on your own,but by taking small steps and keeping the environment in mind every day,you can make a difference,
1Think Green.Challenge yourself to think about the environment as you live your life.If you shut off lights when you leave the room,turn off your TV when you're not watching it,you'll save energy.If you take shorter showers,you'll save water.
2Shop Green.Shopping is fun,but buying things you don't need is wasteful and bad for the earth.Before you buy something,ask yourself how much you'll really use it.Keep yourself away from buying products with unnecessary packaging (包装),and whenever possible,buy things that were locally made instead of those shipped from far away.
3Dress Green.Wear green trousers and T-shirts if you want.But what really matters isn't the colour,it's how the clothes were made.If you want to help the environment,the best place to find clothes is at a vintage store,but you might not want to buy everything used.No matter where you shop,keep an eye out for products made from environmentally friendly materials like organic(有机的) cotton,which is grown without the use of pesticides ( 杀虫剂).
4Study Green.What's better than learning about the environment?Save it while you learn,It can be as simple as using both sides of a piece of paper before you recycle it,or reusing an old textbook:instead of buying a new one.If you want to do more,join an environmental group at your school,and encourage your friends to join,too.

分析 你想拯救环境吗?也许你自己一人不可能改变一切,但是每天做出点滴努力,将环境保护时刻记在心上,那么你就会大有所为.
1、绿色思想.在你日常生活里,督促自己去时刻环保.如果你离开了房间,就把灯给关了,电视不看了,就关上,这样会节约能源.如果你缩短淋浴的时间,那就会节约水源.
2、绿色购物.购物是件有趣的事,但是你要是买了你不需要的东西,那不仅浪费,而且对地球有所伤害.在买东西前,问一下自己,你真正能使用它多少次.不要买那些有无用包装的产品.无论什么时候,尽可能买本地出产的商品,别买从很远地方运来的.
3、着装绿色.如果你愿意的话,就穿绿色的裤子和T恤.但我们真正想强调的不是颜色,而是衣服制造的过程.如果你想保护环境,去找衣服的最好的地方是旧式(二手)商店.但你不可能什么都买旧的.以后无论在哪买都要留意一下那些环保型材料制造的衣服.例如有种材料:有机棉,就是不用杀虫剂培养出来的.
4、绿色学习.还有比学习有关环境的知识更好的做法了吗?当你学习时,你就可以做,做起来很简单,在你回收纸张前,先把纸张的另一面也利用起来.或者不用买新的笔记本,重复使用旧的.如果你还想多做一些,那就参加学校里的环保社团吧,同时也鼓励你的朋友加入进来.
解答 54.C. 词义猜测题.根据下文but you might not want to buy everything used可知但是你可能不想买一切用过的东西,从这里可以判断在a vintage store可以买到二手的衣服,这里a vintage store的意思是旧式(二手)商店.故选C.
55.B.细节理解题.从下文Keep yourself away from buying products with unnecessary packaging这里的意思是远离买不必要的包装产品,可知B选项Buying products with unnecessary packaging的说法是错误的.故选B.
56.D.主旨大意题.从下文的Think/shop/guess/studyGreen可知,讲的是一些关于绿色生活的方法,故选D.
