“We wanted to plan an action-targeted campaign that will give people a chance to act on their concern for the environment in a positive way，” said Goldberg.
The campaign has identified four daily actions that can add up to huge environmental savings.They include pledging (保证) to turn off the TV，giving up the use of poisonous cleaners，reducing consumption of consumer products and cutting out meat.
At the end of April，all of the pledges will be recorded and converted (转化) into the number of TV hours not watched，dollars not spent on unnecessary items，electricity saved，greenhouse gas emissions (排放) avoided by cutting out meat，and poisonous chemicals produced from homes 学科王and landfills.

So here’s the bad news for the 5.3 million New York City workers who depend on the subways to get from place to place：The entire system— all 1,050 km and 468 stations of it—is shut down，much of it flooded with corrosive (腐蚀性的) salt water.The Metropolitan Transit Authority (MT学科王A) freely admits it has never faced anything like the severe damage from Hurricane Sandy，and 学科王has absolutely no idea when the system will be up and running.“We’ll kn学科王ow it after e学科王verything is done，” says MTA spokesman Charles Seaton.But the good news is—well，never mind.There isn’t any.Really，it’s that bad，and if there’s no telling when things will be repaired，there’s even less ways of knowing what the eventual price tag will be.Yes，there are lessons to be learned from the current emergency for both New York itself and urban planners everywhere；the question is whether they’ll be heeded.
New Yo rk’s w oes (难题) are partly a function.New York’s subway system is 108 years old.Its tunnels and学科王stations are located close to or under rivers and harbors，and water seepage (渗水) is unavoidable.“We have three pump trains,300 pump rooms and dozens of portable pumps around the system，” says Seaton.“Even on a day when there’s no rain，we pump out 13 million gallons of water.”
Hurricane Sandy，of course，put a lot more stress on the system than an ordinary rainless day.Flood wat学科王er in lower Manhattan rose to 4.2 m，beating the record of 3 m set by Hurricane Donna in 1960.Much of Manhattan below 40th St.is without electricity.No subway system will ever be truly immune to weather events.This is especially so in great cities like New York，whose very greatness in part depends on their nearness to rivers，harbors and other bodies of water.
But spending money on the city’s basic transport system is perfectly possible，and indeed essential.That kind of preventive investment always seems too expensive at first，but only until you’re suddenly学科王faced with the much higher repair bills New York is dealing with today.And as oceans continue to warm and sea levels continue to rise，the problem is only getting worse.In the past 20 years，Hurricanes Andrew，Floyd，Katrina，Rita，Dean，Irene，Isaac and others have tried to remind us of that simple truth.Now Hurricane Sandy is adding her voice.One of these days，we might actually listen.
5．What can w学科王e infer from Para.1?
A．The subway system may start running soon.
B．The whole subway system is flooded with corrosive salt water.
C．It is difficult to repair the New York subway system.
D．The MTA doesn’t know how to clean the subway system.
6．Before Hurricane Sandy，New York’s subway has long been troubled by________.
A．corrosive salt water B．water seepage
C．old pumps D．poor power systems
7．In the last paragraph，which is mentioned as a threat to New York’s subway system?
A．Climate change.B．The technical problem.
C．Nearness to rivers.D．The high running cost.
8．To solve the problem caused by weather events，the author suggests________.
A．changing the subway’s location
B．building a new power system
C．making preventive investment
D．repairing the pumping system

Recently an activity has been going on in our school which is called “Becom ing a Guardian to Protect the Environment”．Students are asked to hand in used batteries，newspaper and so on to get a card as a reward.I think we can benefit a lot from this activity.
Firstly，this activity will help to raise our environmental awareness and save resources.Secondly，the used batteries are harmful to the environment.Recycling them has been of great importance in terms of conserving natural resources，environment protection and human health.
Meanwhile，we can still do a lot more to help protect the environment.For example，we should remember to turn off the light before we leave the room.And we shouldn’t leave the tap water running after we use it.
