课后阅读训练 十四Unit 4Period 2. 阅读理解AAs we know, the earths climate has changed over time. The present rate of climate change depends, in large part, on human activities. Today, people all over the world are making everyday choices that help the environment. Small actions matter. In other words, climate change is your business. A woman in Nicaragua buys fluorescent(荧光的)light bulbs that are 80 percent more energy-saving than traditional ones. Many governments are now subsidizing energy-saving lights to encourage people to turn to them. Consumers are discovering that the new-generation bulbs help them save money in the long run. Agriculture accounts for about 14 percent of global greenhouse gas emission(排放), and transporting the food around adds to the environmental cost. There is a team of young vegetable growers in the United Kingdom who want to encourage kids to start planting their own fruit and vegetables. A young lawyer wearing business clothes rides her bicycle to work in a large U. S. city. Shes been biking to work every day for the past two years and says its a lot easier than many people think. A recent study shows that more Americans bike or walk to work today than before. A university student from southeastern China carries a reusable shopping bag to cut back on disposable(一次性的)plastic bags. Some large shopkeepers have removed paper and plastic bags, and consumers are responding. In Canberra, Australia, summers are hot and winters cold. To save electricity, Adam Wilson in Canberra uses an energy-saving heating system, and he keeps the temperature lower than he did in years past. He still makes it through the summer without air conditioning. 【语篇概述】气候变暖和我们每个人都息息相关。践行环保, 从现在做起, 从自身做起。1. The passage mainly tells us that_.
