    　　ECO-friendly technology was the hottest trend at the 39th Tokyo Motor Show, which opened last Friday．

    　　About 240 car manufacturers from 13 countries presented new models．Most were powered by hybrid(混合的), fuel cell(燃料电池)and electrical systems．Carmakers are championing more environmentally models amid increasing oil prices and environmental concerns．

    　　“It's now carmakers' social responsibility to protect the environment,”said Mazda president Hisakazu Imaki．

    　　Seventy-nine cars and motorcycles are being presented to the public for the first time, according to the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association．

    　　The organizing association said the biennial(两年一次的)show, due to end on November6,was sure to have a large impact on the automobile industry．

    　　Manufacturers are currently competing in the shift from gasoline-run engines to hybrid, fuel cell or electricity-powered systems．

    　　Mazda has a new sports vehicle, which runs on a hybrid electric-petrol system．It is also showing a gasoline-hydrogen run sports car．

    　　A member of the Ford family, Mazda plans to market a hybrid version of the Tribute sport utility vehicle(SUV)next spring and enhance its co-operation with Ford in hybrid systems development．

    　　Man's best friend could be one of the environment's worst enemies, according to a new study that says that your pet dog's carbon pawprint(碳足迹)is more than double that of a sports car．

    　　Yet this point of view, made by New Zealanders Robert and Brenda Vale, has angered pet owners who feel they are being picked out as troublemakers．

    　　The Vales, researchers in sustainable(可持续的)living, looked at popular brands of pet food and calculated that a medium-sized dog eats about 164 kilos of meat and 95 kilos of grain a year．

    　　Combining that with the energy needed to produce that food, it means a medium-sized dog has an annual footprint of 0．84 hectares(公顷), about twice the 0.41 hectares required by a sports car driving 10,000 kilometers a year, including energy to build the car．

    　　“Owning a dog really is quite an extravagance(奢侈), mainly because of the carbon footprint of mean．Other animals aren't better for the environment,”the Vales say．

    　　Cats have an eco-footprint of about 0．15 hectares a year, while two hamsters(仓鼠)are the same as a television and even the goldfish burns energy equal to two cellphones．

    　　However, Reha Huttin, president of France's 30 Million Friends animal rights foundation says pets are too important to human life to be got rid of．

    　　“Everyone should work out their own environmental effect,”Huttin argude．“I should be allowed to say that I walk instead of using my car and that I don't eat meat, so why souldn't I be allowed to have a little cat to reduce my loneliness?”

    　　The Vales give some solutions to reduce pets' environmental effect, including reducing pets' meat intake．But they said that, as with buying a car, humans should take the environmental effect of their future compainon into account．

    (1)

    The best title of the article is "________"．

    Be careful of keeping our pets

    pets are doing no harm to the environment at all

    C．

    D．

    he prefers walking to driving to reduce his loneliness

    C．

    D．

    　　A ton of ore(矿石)from a gold mine produces just 5 grams of gold on average, while a ton of mobile phones can give 150 grams or more, according to a study by Yokohama Metal Co-Ltd．, another recycling company．The same amount of useless mobile phones also contains around 100 kg of copper and 3 kg of silver, among other metals．

    　　Recycling has become more important because prices of metals have hit record highs．Eco-Systems, opened 20 years ago near Tokyo, usually produces about 200 to 300 kg of gold bars a month, worth about ＄5.9 million to ＄8.8 million．That’s about the same as a small gold mine．

    　　Born in a fishing village in Japan, Fujiyama, 25, recalls a childhood dominated by health concerns．Doctors told his parents that he had a hole in his heart and “they didn’t think I had a lot longer to live”．But during a later visit to the doctor, his family learned the hole had closed．“Somehow I was cured and I became a normal kid,” Fujiyama says．“And I had a second chance．”

    　　During his second year at the University of Mary Washington, he volunteered in Honduras with a campus group and was struck by the extreme poverty he saw－barefoot children collecting cans and sleeping in the streets．Fujiyama realized he could help give other children their own second chance．

    　　Today, his organization, Students Helping Honduras, brings education and community projects to children and families in need．

    　　He started by telling his friends about his experience and collecting spare change at his two campus jobs．“When I had my very first meeting, only two people showed up,” he says．“I knew I had to keep fighting．” He persuaded his younger sister, Cosmo, to join the cause．“She’s dynamite,．” He says．“When she talks in front of a crowd, she can move mountains．Knowing that she was behind it, I knew I could do anything．” Since 2006, the siblings’ organization has grown to 25 campuses and raised more than ＄750,000 to fund projects, including the construction of two schools and the establishment of scholarships to help young women attend college．

    　　Students Helping Honduras is working with community members of Siete de Abril to build a new village．Many of the families lost their belongings in Hurricane Mitch in 1998．A lot of them didn’t have access to clean water or health care, and they didn’t have a school．Fujiyama’s group helped build 44 homes in the village named “Sunshine Village”．The organization is also raising funds to build a water tower, an eco-friendly sanitation system and a library．

    　　Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side．

    　　Most people know this joke．But recently, some people have been much more worried about how the grizzly bear and mountain lion can cross the road．

    　　“Millions of animals die each year on U．S．roads,” the Federal Highway Administration reports．In fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the U．S．today．The main reason? Road kill．

    　　“Eco-passages” may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars．They are paths both over and under roads．“These eco-passages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can avoid road accidents,” said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Protection Society．

    　　But do animals actually use the eco-passages? The answer is yes．Paul Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an eco-passage that went under a highway．This showed that the lions used the passage．

    　　Builders of eco-passages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them．Animals seem to be catching on．Animals as different as salamanders(火蜥蜴)and grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses．

    　　With eco-tourism on the rise, eco-hotels are fast becoming the darling of the travel industry．These days, however, staying at an eco-hotel doesn't necessarily mean vacationing in a tree house in the Costa Rican jungle, although that is certainly a choice．

    　　The majority of eco-hotels fall into one of several categories：hotels and resorts that conserve ecologically important habitats; “green” hotels that reduce, recycle, minimize waste, and protect water; sustainable hotels that harvest food from gardens on the hotel property or get part of all their power from renewable energy; hotels that encourage community involvement such as guests taking part in trail clearing; and hotels that offer some form of environmental education to their guests．

    　　As such, eco-hotels are a various group．Stylish urban hotels like the Willard Inter-Continental Washington focus on energy conservation whereas the Rosario Resort＆Spa on Orcas Island in Washington State offers a wildly popular “green” vacation package where guests can “take a hike, clear a trail”．

    　　No matter what you call them, eco-hotel, eco-lodge, eco-resort, or green hotel, they're part of the “greening” of the tourism industry．

    　　Part of what drives this greening of the hotel industry is no doubt competition．Going green is yet another way to distinguish a hotel from the mass of other excellent hotels that consumers have to choose from．But for many hotels, it's also part of their philosophy．With the concept of “going green” firmly rooted in consumers' minds, eco-hotels have taken it to the next level, and whether or not money is the driving factor behind the greening of the hotel industry doesn't matter so much as it's good for the planet．

    C．
