river in a canoe? Do you ever throw your school lunch leftovers into a compost (混合肥料) bin when you
are finished? They are all part of a regular school day at Barnard Environmental Studies Magnet School in
New Haven, Connecticut. Known as a "green" school, Barnard attracts students from all over the region who
are interested in environmental studies.
"We do Earth Day all the year round," said Marjorie Drucker, Barnard"s Magnet Resource teacher. With
the school"s special classes, its 325 students study the environment all day long. "Being green means that
everything in the building is designed with the environment in mind," Drucker told Scholastic News. For
example, the lights go off when people leave the room, and special windows provide "passive light", cutting
down on the need for electric lighting. When a window is open, the air-conditioning automatically turns off.
Conserving energy is not all that students do to help the environment. While learning about the dying
salmon population in the Connecticut rivers, students also do something to help out-they raise more salmon.
In the classrooms there are fish tanks containing salmon eggs. The eggs are kept in water at two degrees
Celsius. After the eggs hatch, students observe the baby salmon through all the stages of development, and
then release the adult salmon into Connecticut rivers.
Composting is another part of taking care of the environment at Barnard Students deal with their lunches
by throwing the remaining food into a compost bin in a greenhouse. The compost is used to help grow plants.
At Barnard, almost everything has to do with the environment. Students sing songs about the environment;
their artworks have something to do with the environment; even their math classes are focused on protecting
the environment.
Barnard offers chances that students can"t get in a regular school. The school"s goal is to teach children to
be good environmental role models. They also learn to live in a different way. To attend the school, students
have to apply and express their interest in protecting the environment. "Students come here because they care
about the environment," said Drucker.

to find out: Photograph it with a cellphone and send the image to an expert. With cellphones becoming
common in Japan and rising concern over expanding waistlines, health-care providers will allow the
calorie-conscious people to send photos of their meals to nutritionists (营养学家) for advice.
Public health insurance offices in Osaka in Western Japan have launched the service on a trial basis. About
100 cardiac (心脏病的) patients signed up in the first year, followed by diabetes and obesity patients in the
second."Japanese have been getting fatter, especially men in their 20s and 30s. There is concern over what they
learned about nutrition when they were younger," the Osaka official, Satomi Onishi, said."We"re hoping that this
program can help us deal with the problem."
Osaka is using a system developed by Asahi Kasei Corp. The system is operating among about 150
health-care providers and local governments around the country Nutritionists can work with photos from one
day"s meals to several weeks" worth. Results come back in three days. People can also log on a website to get
further information.
Dr Yutaka Kimura has developed a similar system at Kansai Medical University"s Hirakata Hospital, also in
Osaka. Five patients have taken part in the programme, which costs $37 to join and $21 per month. Patients
photograph meals over the course of three to seven days, and a nutritionist e-mails advice to them. "Patients
used to fill in meal logs, but people tend to forget things or underestimate (低估) their portions (份)," Kimura
said. "Photographing meals and e-mailing them can be easier and get more accurate results."
As Japanese have turned to bigger portions and more meat and fried foods, obesity and related illnesses
such as high blood pressure have become a rising concern. The Health Ministry estimated last year that more
than half of Japanese men and about one in five women between 40 and 70 years old were at the increased
risk of heart disease, type II diabetes and other diseases because of obesity. With the Health Ministry hoping
to see a 25% reduction in the number of people at the risk of these diseases by 2015, Osaka officials hope the
cellphone program will help.
health. However, not all the persons know that noise is also a kind of pollution, and this is harmful to
people" health, too.
People who work and live under noisy conditions usually become deaf today. However, scientist believe
that 10 percent of workers in Britain are being deafened by the noise where they work. Many of the workers
who print newspapers and books, and who weave cloth become deaf. Quite a few people living near airports
also become deaf. Recently it was discovered that many teenagers in America could hear no better than
65-year-old persons, for these young people like to listen to pop music and pop music is a kind of noise,
Besides, noise produced by jet planes or machines will make people ill or even drive them mad.
It is said a continuous noise of over 85 decibels can cause deafness. Now the government in many

On the World Environment Day in 2003, Beijing Organizing Committee for the 2008 Olympic Game began
the Green Office Project. 2 .
On September 24, 2005, the logo of the Green Olympics was shown at the Beijing Young Palace. 3 . It
consists of the crown of a tree and the shape of a human being that are used to create the form of a large tree
reaching the sky. The image represents harmony and unity between human beings and nature.

30, 2008, Brazil announced that the rate of deforestation increased more than three times in the past year.
The Amazon rainforest covers around 4.1 million square kilometers of Brazil, nearly 60 percent of the
country. The rainforest supports at least 10 percent of the world"s known species. The 17 million people who
live in the Brazilian Amazon depend on the land for their homes and livelihoods. Brazil is the world"s biggest
beef and soy exporter. Farmers need land for crops and to feed their cattle. Some burn patches of forest to
clear the land. Others cut down trees for wood. They build roads to transport the wood.
Brazil"s economy is growing, but that growth comes at a price. In May, Brazil"s environment minister,
Marina Silva, quit her job. For six years, she tried to protect the forest. But she felt she was losing the battle
against those who are eager to make money in the Amazon.
The Amazon is the planet"s largest absorber of carbon dioxide, a gas that can trap heat in the atmosphere.
A world Wildlife Found study shows that 55 percent of the Amazon could be gone by 2030. Without those
trees, billions of tons of carbon dioxide would stay in the atmosphere. They would speed up global warming.
Brazilian researchers say that temperatures in the Amazon region will rise by two to three degrees by 2050.
That, and the resulting lower rainfall, could turn 30-60 percent of the forest into grassland with only scattered
trees.
B. the loss of the trees
C. the slow growth of trees
D. an increase in trees
B. the world"s biggest beef and soy export
C. the gradual destruction of the Amazon rainforest
D. the environmental protection of the Brazilians
B. Marina Silva is determined to fight for the conservation of the rainforest in any case
C. Marina Silva began to hold the post of Brazil"s environment minister in 2005
D. The majority of Brazilians have joined Marina Silva in protecting the rainforest
B. The living standard of the Brazilians has been greatly raised in the past few years.
C. The Amazon rainforest is the planet"s largest absorber of carbon dioxide.
D. The Amazon rainforest is in urgent need of the protection, or global warming will speed up.

organization provides emergency care to victims of armed conflict, natural and manmade disasters, and
fast-spreading diseases. The group also assists people who have no other way to receive health care. It
trains local health workers, provides mental health care, and organizes nutrition and other programs.
Doctors Without Borders is also known by its French name, Medecins Sans Frontieres. A group of
doctors from France started the organization in 1971. They said they felt strongly that race, religion and
political beliefs should not prevent someone from receiving health care. They also said the medical needs
of individuals were more important than national borders.
Doctors Without Borders is also working to get medicines to poor people. It is involved in a new drug
research organization in Geneva. The effort is called the Drugs for Neglected Diseases Initiative. Research
centers in Brazil, France, India, Kenya and Malaysia are also involved.
The organizers say drug companies have forgotten about the diseases that affect millions of people in
developing countries. Scientists will seek new drugs to treat diseases like sleeping sickness and
leishmaniasis [(医)利什曼病(尤指黑热病)]. Both are spread by insects. What should be done is to spend
about two-hundred-fifty-million dollars over the next ten years to develop new treatments for these and
other diseases.
In 1999, Doctors Without Borders won the Nobel Peace Prize. The group was recognized for its work
in the conflicts in Kosovo and East Timor.
