In the book

Time to Eat the Dog: The Real Guide to Sustainable

（可持续性）

Living

,

New

Zealand-based

architects

Robert

and

Brenda

Vale

say

keeping

a

medium-sized dog has the same ecological

41

as driving 10,000 km a year in a

4.6 liter limousine. Calculating that modern house pet

42

through about 164 kg

of meat and 95 kg of cereals a year, the Vales estimated the ecological footprint of

cats and dogs, based on the amount of land needed to grow pet food.

“There are no recipes in the book,” Robert Vale said,

43

, in

a telephone

interview. “We’re not actually saying it is time to

eat the dog. We’re just saying that

we need to think about and know the ecological impact of some of the things we do

and that we take for granted.” With pets’ diets under the control of owners, how can

their unsustainable appetites be cut

down? Changing

their diets into

44

ones,

the Vales say.

Instead they recommend keeping “greener”, smaller, and more sustainable pets,

such

as

goldfish,

chickens

or

rabbits.

The

book’s

playful

title,

and

45

suggestion

that

pet

animals

may

be

usefully

“recycled”,

by

being

eaten

by

their

owners

or

turned

into

pet

food

when

they

die,

may

not

46

to

animal

fans.

Annoying

as

the

idea

may

be,

the

question

47

from

the

planet’s

growing

population

and

limited

resources,

Robert

Vale

said.

“Resources

issues

are

48

becoming things that are going to require us to make choices which are as difficult as

eating your dog. It’s not just about changing your light bulbs or taking a cloth bag to

the supermarket,” he said.

“It’s about much more challenging and difficult issues,” he added. “Once you see

cats and dogs fit in your overall

49

of things

——

you might decide to have the

cat

but

also

to

have

the

two

cars

and

the

three

bathrooms

and

be

a

meat

eater

yourself.”

Have you ever felt trapped in a job you hate?

50

you are ready to move forward and find

a more fulfilling position, career transition(

过渡；变迁

) specialist Gregg Taylor has a few

51

to help deal with the emotional side of

52

your job.

When writing your resignation letter keep it short and to the point. Express your gratitude for

the

53

and state your resignation date.

“

You don

’

”

says Taylor.

“

Keep thing as simple as possible, and as quiet as possible.

”

tension

from

the

time

you

54

in

your

resignation

letter

until

the

day

you

leave.

55

,

be

any

56

you

working on. This is just good

57

and common sense for everybody,

58

2

asking for a reference. Use up any

vacation time and sick days.

your boss. A neutral

your boss

from the news.

about your leaving, but

A Southampton University team found that people who were vegetarian by 30 had recorded

five IQ points more on average at the age of 10. Researchers said it could explain why people with

a higher IQ were healthier as a vegetarian diet was linked to lower heart disease and

obesity

（肥

胖）

rates. The study of 8,179 was reported in the British Medical Journal.

Twenty

years

after

the

IQ

tests

were

carried

out

in

1970,

366

of

the

participants

said

they

were vegetarian

—

although more than 100 reported eating either fish or chicken.

Men who were vegetarian had an IQ score of 106, compared with 101 for non-vegetarians;

while

female

vegetarians

averaged

104,

compared

with

99

for

non-vegetarians.

There

was

no

difference in the IQ score between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarian but

reported eating fish or chicken.

Researchers said the findings were partly related to better education and higher class, but it

remained

stati stically

（统计地）

significant after adjusting for these factors.

Vegetarians were more likely to be female, to be of higher social class and to have higher

academic or professional qualifications than non-vegetarians. However, these differences were not

reflected in their annual income, which was similar to that of non-vegetarians.

Lead researcher Catharine Gale said,

“

The findings that children with greater intelligence are

more

likely

to

report

being

vegetarians

than

adults,

together

with

the

evidence

on

the

potential

benefits of a vegetarian diet on heart health, may help to explain why a higher IQ in childhood or

adolescence is linked with a reduced risk of

coronary heart disease

(

冠心病

) in adult life.
