Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dia Mirza and Adrian Grenier have a message for
you: It’s easy to beat plastic. They’re part of a bunch of celebrities starring in a new
video for World Environment Day— encouraging you, the consumer, to swap out
your single-use plastic staples like straws and cutlery to combat the plastics crisis.
The key messages that have been put together for World Environment Day do include
a call for governments to enact legislation to curb single-use plastics. But the
overarching message is directed at individuals: Lead with your wallets. My
concern with leaving it up to the individual, however, is our limited sense of what
needs to be achieved. On their own, taking our own bags to the grocery store or
quitting plastic straws, for example, will accomplish little and require very little of us.
They could even be detrimental, satisfying a need to have “done our bit” without ever
progressing onto bigger, bolder, more effective actions—a kind of “moral licensing”
that allays our concerns and stops us doing more and asking more of those in charge.
While the conversation around our environment and our responsibility toward it
remains centered on shopping bags and straws, we’re ignoring the balance of power
that implies that as “consumers” we must shop sustainably, rather than as “citizens”
hold our governments and industries to account to push for real systemic change.
It’s important to acknowledge that the environment isn’t everyone’s priority—or even
most people’s. We shouldn’t expect it to be. In her latest book, Why Good People Do
Bad Environmental Things, Wellesley College professor Elizabeth R. DeSombre
argues that the best way to collectively change the behavior of large numbers of
people is for the change to be structural. This might mean implementing policy
such as a plastic tax that adds a cost to environmentally problematic action, or
banning single-use plastics altogether. India has just announced it will “eliminate all
single-use plastic in the country by 2022. “ There are also incentive-based ways of
making better environmental choices easier, such as ensuring recycling is at least as
easy as trash disposal. DeSombre isn’t saying people should stop caring about the
environment. It’s just that individual actions are too slow, she says, for that to be the
only, or even primary, approach to changing widespread behavior. None of this is
about writing off the individual. It’s just about putting things into perspective. We
don’t have time to wait. We need progressive policies that shape collective action (and
rein in polluting businesses), alongside engaged citizens pushing for change.
1． Some celebrities star in a new video to______.
A．demand new laws on the use of plastics
B．urge consumers to cut the use of plastics
C．invite public opinion on the plastics crisis
D．disclose the causes of the plastics crisis
正确答案：B
解析：根据题干信息“Some celebrities star in a new video to”可以定位到原文第一段。由第二句“They’re part of a bunch of celebrities starring in a new video
for World Environment Day encouraging you，the consumer，to swap out your
single-use plastic staples like straws and cutlery to combat the plastics crisis．”可知，鼓励消费者减少一次性塑料制品的使用，与塑料制品危机抗争，B项“urge
consumers to cut the use of plastics”(鼓励消费者减少使用塑料袋)与之含义相符，故选B。
2． The author is concerned that “moral licensing” may______.
A．mislead us into doing worthless things
B．prevent us from making further efforts
C．weaken our sense of accomplishment
D．suppress our desire for success
正确答案：B
解析：根据题干信息可以定位到原文第三段最后一句“They could even…to
have ‘done our bit’without ever progressing onto bigger，bolder，more effective
actions--a kind of‘moral licensing’that allays our concerns and stops us doing more
and asking more of those in charge．”意为“……他们没有采取更大，更明显，更有效的举措……”，其中“stops us doing more and asking more of those in charge．”与B项“prevent us from making further efforts”(妨碍我们进一步的举措)语义相符。故选B。
3． By pointing out our identity as “citizens”, the author indicates that______.
A．our focus should be shifted to community welfare
B．our relationship with local industries is improving
C．we have been actively exercising our civil rights
D．we should press our government to lead the combat
正确答案：D
解析：根据题干信息可以定位到原文第四段。本段最后一句提到“rather than
as ‘citizens’hold our governments and industries to account to push for real systemic
change．”(而不是作为‘公民’去要求政府和工业去推行真正的系统化的改变。)，言外之意，就是作者希望政府做出改变去应对现在的情形。D项“we should press
our government to lead the combat”(我们应该向政府施压，使之主导这次抗争)符合原文意思，故选D。
4． DeSombre argues that the best way for a collective change should be______.

For the first time in history more people live in towns than in the country. In
Britain this has had a curious result. While polls show Britons rate “the countryside”
alongside the royal family, Shakespeare and the National Health Service(NHS)as
what makes them proudest of their country, this has limited political support. A
century ago Octavia Hill launched the National Trust not to rescue stylish houses but
to save “the beauty of natural places for everyone forever.” It was specifically to
provide city dwellers with spaces for leisure where they could experience “a
refreshing air.” Hill’s pressure later led to the creation of national parks and green
belts. They don’t make countryside any more, and every year concrete consumes
more of it. It needs constant guardianship. At the next election none of the big

Washington/New York U. S. President Bush said on Monday that he wanted
Osama Bin Laden “dead or alive” for last week’s attacks on the World Trade Center
and the Pentagon, but many of Washington’s allies are cool on strikes against
Afghanistan. Bush has named Laden as a prime suspect, though he has provided
no evidence for his claim. Still, he had been building public support for military
action and has warned Afghanistan’s Taliban to give up Bin Laden. But the
Taliban, which has warned of “ holy war” in response to any U. S. attack, by Tuesday
afternoon had given no indication of whether the man they call their “guest” would be
handed over. On an unprecedented “ Day of terror” , two planes smashed into
New York’s World Trade Center twin towers on September 11, putting them into ruins

In 2010, a federal judge shook America’s biotech industry to its core.
Companies had won patents for isolated DNA for decades—by 2005 some 20% of
human genes were patented. But in March 2010 a judge ruled that genes were
unpatentable. Executives were violently agitated. The Biotechnology Industry
Organisation (BIO), a trade group, assured members that this was just a “preliminary
step” in a longer battle. On July 29th they were relieved, at least temporarily. A
federal appeals court overturned the prior decision, ruling that Myriad Genetics could
indeed hold patents to two genes that help forecast a woman’s risk of breast cancer.
The chief executive of Myriad, a company in Utah, said the ruling was a blessing to
firms and patients alike. But as companies continue their attempts at personalised

If you are a male and you are reading this, congratulations; you are a
survivor. According to statistics, you are more than twice as likely to die of skin
cancer than a woman, and nine times more likely to die of AIDS. Assuming you make
it to the end of your natural term, about 78 years for men in Australia, you will die on
average five years before a woman. There are many reasons for this—typically,
men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smoke—but
perhaps more importantly, men don’ t go to the doctor. “ Men aren’ t seeing
doctors as often as they should,” says Dr. Cullotta. “ This is particularly so for the
over-40s, when diseases tend to strike. Gullotta says a healthy man should visit
the doctor every year or two. For those over 45, it should be at least once a year.

France, which prides itself as the global innovator of
fashion, has decided its fashion industry has lost an
absolute right to define physical beauty for women. Its
lawmakers gave preliminary approval last week to a law that
would make it a crime to employ ultra-thin models on
runways.
The parliament also agreed to ban websites that
“incite excessive thinness” by promoting extreme dieting.
Such measures have a couple of uplifting motives. They
suggest beauty should not be defined by looks that end up
impinging on health. That’s a start. And the ban on ultra-thin models seems to go beyond protecting models from
starving themselves to death - as some have done. It tells
the fashion industry that it must take responsibility for

“The Heart of the Matter,” the just-released report by the
American Academy of Arts and Sciences (AAAS)，deserves praise
for affirming the importance of the humanities and social
sciences to the prosperity and security of liberal democracy in
America. Regrettably, however, the report’s failure to address
the true nature of the critics facing liberal education may cause
more harm than good.
In 2010, leading congressional Democrats and Republicans
sent letters to the AAAS asking that it identify actions that could
be taken by “federal, state and local” to “maintain national
excellence in humanities and social scientific scholarship and
education.” In response, the American Academy formed the
Commission on the Humanities and Social Sciences. Among the
commission’s 51 members are top-tier-university presidents,

The rough guide to marketing success used to be that you got what you paid
for. No longer. While traditional “paid” mediasuch as television commercials and
print advertisementsstill play a major role , companies today can exploit many
alternative forms of media. Consumers passionate about a product may create
“earned” media by willingly promoting it to friends, and a company .may leverage
“owned” media by sending e-mail alerts about products and sales to customers
registered with its Web site. The way consumers now approach the process of making
purchase decisions means that marketing’s impact stems from a broad range of factors
beyond conventional paid media. Paid and owned media are controlled by
marketers promoting their own products. For earned media, such marketers act as the

Ever since Stephanie’s 13th birthday we have been receiving comments
from other adults expressing their sympathies because our daughter is now a teenage.
We’ve heard everything from, “Sure she’ s a good kid, but just wait, now that she’ s a
teenager “ to the ever inspiring, “well, all kids are rotten when they are teenagers, just
try to go through it the best way you can. “ What’ s more upsetting is that many of
these insensitive adults feel the need to share their negative predictions well within
the hearing of both our daughters. I know that teenagers can be moody and
difficult at times, but I’ m 32 and I can also be difficult and moody. We worry about
the future and want today’ s kids to know that we care for them and that there are
opportunities that await them. However, at the very point they set out on that journey
