Question

Learning about the environment is very important. There are many good books that will help you learn. To get started, ask your teacher or your friends for some advice. You can also look at some good websites with information about the environment and climate change. Climate change may be a big problem, but there are many little things we can do to make a difference.

Driving a car or using electricity is not wrong. We just have to be smart about it. Some people use less energy by sharing a car. For example, four people can ride together in one car instead of driving four cars to work. Whenever we use electricity, we put greenhouse gases into the air. By turning off the lights, the television, and the computer when they aren’t needed, you can help a lot.

Don’t buy products (产品) that use too much energy. Some products, like certain cars, are made specially to save energy. These cars can travel longer on less gasoline (汽油). They don’t pollute as much, either. Products like computers, TVs and VCRs with the ENERGY STAR label (标签) are made to save energy. Buying products with these labels will help protect the environment.

??? Buy recyclable (可循环再用的) products instead of non-recyclable ones. Recyclable products are usually made out of things that have already been used. It usually takes less energy to make recyclable products than to make new ones. So when you go shopping, look for the recycle mark on the package. The less energy we use, the better.

试题解析:本文大意：了解环境非常重要，有许多书会帮助你了解。环境改变是个大问题，但我们能做的很多小事会使之不同。开车、用电没有错。几个人共用一辆车会用更少的能源。不论何时我们用电，都会向大气排放温室气体。通过在你不用的时候关电灯、电视和计算机，会有很大帮助。不要买消耗太多能量的产品，像计算机、电视机和录相机这样的产品带有能源之星的标签的是节能的。买可循环利用的产品而不是非循环利用的，再生产品是用那些已经用过的东西制造出来的，制造再生产品比新产品用的能源更少。
