carbon footprint on the planet. A carbon footprint is the measure of influence our activities have

on the environment, in particular climate change. It is calculated by the amount of greenhouse gas

we

produce

in

our

daily

lives.

Fortunately,

nowadays

it

is

much

easier

to

make

eco

-

friendly

lifestyle choices than, lefs say, 20 years ago. But one question has been on my mind a lot lately: is

it better to buy new eco

-

friendly products or used traditionally produced goods?

After

doing

some

research,

I

have

decided

that

some

things

are

better

new

and

others

are

better used. Let me try to explain.

A carbon footprint is made up of two parts, the primary footprint and the secondary footprint.

The primary footprint is a measure of our direct emissions

（排放）

of carbon dioxide

（

CO2

）

from

the

burning

of

fuels,

including

household

energy

consumption

and

transportation.

The

secondary

footprint

is

a

measure

of

the

indirect

CO2

emissions

from

the

whole

lifecycle

of

products we use

一

those related to their production and breakdown.

Based

on

this

understanding,

we

have

a

good

deal

of

control

and

responsibility

over

our

carbon footprint. Things like dishes, clothes and furniture fall into the “secondary footprint” group,

so less is more and we can focus on finding used goods to avoid the added production. However,

for

the

car

and

the

other

appliances

（ 设备）

that

we

need

we

can

go

with

new,

energy

-

saving

models. I heard somewhere that electronics and appliances give off 90% of their carbon footprint

after they leave the factory. So it seems most reasonable to go fbr the energy

-

saving models. The

main concern here is the amount of energy that goes into the making of new products and whether

or not that extra carbon is worth the footprint the product will make once it gets to you.

is the text mainly about?

appliances to buy to save energy.

a carbon footprint means in our life.

to identify difierent carbon footprints.

to make eco

-

friendly lifestyle choices.

do we know about the secondary carbon footprint?

is related to our consumption of fuels.

is made when we are buying the products.

is less harmful than the primary carbon footprint.

is counted as ours though not directly made by us.

of the following helps reduce our carbon footprint according to the author?

Magic is a form of entertainment that is based on pretending to do things that are impossible.

The magician is a specially trained actor. He tries to make the audience believe that he has the

power to do things which are against the laws of nature.

Magic shows are entertaining as long as the audience does not discover how the tricks are

done. The magician usually depends on his skill with his hands, on his knowledge of psychology,

and, sometimes, on mechanical devices

（机械装置）

.Since magic performance is meant to trick

people, the use of psychology is important. The magician must keep people from noticing all the

movements of his hands and from thinking about the secret parts of his equipment. He must also

lead the audience to draw false conclusions. The magician’s success depends on the fact that many

things seen by the eye are not the things that matter.

Two

basic

magic

tricks

are

making

objects

seem

to

appear

and

making

objects

seem

to

disappear. A combination of these two tricks makes for some interesting effects. For example, the

magician puts a small ball under one of several cups. The ball then seems to jump from one cup to

another or to change colour. What actually happens is that the magician, employing quick hand

movements or a mechanical device, hides one ball. While doing this he talks to the audience and

waves a brightly coloured cloth with one hand. The audience is too busy watching the cloth and

listening to the magician’s words to notice that his other hand is hiding the ball.

Another

favourite

trick

is

to

cut

or

bum

something,

and

then

make

it

appear

whole

again.

What actually happens is that the magician makes the cut or burned object disappear by quickly

hiding it while the audience watches something else. Then he“magically” makes it appear whole

again by displaying

（展示）

another object that has not been cut or burned.

is the autho’s main purpose in writing the text?

A. To promote a magic show.

C. To explain the art of magic.

B. To teach people to be magicians.

D. To praise the talents of magicians.

B. recycling the product

D. transporting the product

.

of the following is important for a successful magic trick?

A. Moving stage equipment.

B. Directing the audience’s attention.

The average bear, it seems, is getting ever smarter. First, it turned out that at least one can use

a comb. Now it appears that some can count, too.

Jennifer Vonk, of Oakland University, in Michigan, and Michael Beran, from Georgia State

University, set three American black bears the task of distinguishing between numerically larger

and smaller groups of dots

（

点）

on a computer screen. In return for a food reward one bear, Brutus,

would touch the more heavily dotted pattern with his nose. The others, Bella and Dusty, would

touch the screen with their claws

（爪子）

.

As

the

researchers

report

in

Animal

Behavior,

the

bears

did

best

with

patterns

where

the

coloured

dots

did

not

move

and

where

more

of

them

also

took

up

a

larger

coloured

area.

This

could

be

explained

by

the

bears’

distinguishing

the

different

areas

of

colour

rather

than

truly

counting the dots. However, the three bears managed to pick out the bigger number of dots even in

pairs of patterns where fewer dots took up a larger area.

Moving patterns, where each dot followed its own path around the screen, were more of a

challenge.

But

Brutus,

at

least,

was

not

defeated.

He

seemed

to

be

counting

mobile

dots

even

when the scientists tried to mislead him by moving the total coloured area of the dots at the same

time.

It is not entirely surprising that bears should have a high degree of intelligence. They face a

lot of challenges when trying to get food. They are, however, always alone, and so do not have the

complex social systems that contribute to animal smarts. Perhaps, then, their maths skill developed

because they cannot count on their friends for help.

task did the scientists set for the three bears?

A. Distinguishing different dot patterns.

is the world which it opens up to you. This is a world of diverse sources (

from newspapers and books to TV radio, music and even real people. Would you limit yourself to

one medium in your native language?

designed to help you fit your studies around your timetable.

These apps encourage habit

building, because the successful formation of a habit ensures your safe and regular return.
