But only on condition that he would give 1000 pounds to the meanest(吝啬的) man he could find.The dutiful son knew of a man that he thought could be the meanest person in the world. It was the head of the village. He offered him the money.“But I can’t take your 1000 pounds,” said the village head. “I never knew your father. There was no reason why he should leave me the money.”“It’s yours, all right,” insisted the sad youth.“I could take it if you would buy something from me,” said the village head.Then he thought for a little while and said, “I can sell you all the snow in the yard for 1000 pounds.”The young man agreed, and he didn’t care for the snow. He only wanted to complete his father’swill and give the money to the meanest person. The next day he was taken before the village head. The head was very angry and ordered him to remove the snow off the yard at once. But the young man couldn’t do this thing quickly enough, so the village head fined(罚款) him 200 pounds for not being able to do what he was ordered to.“At least,” the young man said sadly when he left the village head, “My father’s 1000 pounds went to the right man.”16.

He stops by a fast-food restaurant to pick up lunch. As he waits for his food, he enters appointments into his PDA(个人数字助理).Life today moves faster than ever before. Multi-tasking---dealing with several tasks(任务) at the same time---is a good example showing life’s hurried speed.Thanks to technology, the speed of life has rapidly increased over the past century. Time-saving inventions---like e-mail and ATMs---have made daily tasks more efficient(高效率的). People today expect speed. A recent study shows that most Americans can’t deal with long waits. Six percent said they are unwilling to wait longer than 15 minutes for food or services.Unfortunately, studies show that life’s hurried speed produces pressure and leads to health problems. Another concern is lack of rest and free time. An online study at showed that 56 percent of people in China frequently feel short of time.The bad effects of life’s hurried speed are being noticed.

These are blamed for global warming because when they are burned they give off carbon dioxide(CO2) into the atmosphere. The gas traps the sunlight on earth, causing a rise in temperatures, or global warming.Globally, temperatures have risen 0.7℃over the 20th century, according to the World Meteorological Organization. In 2006, the US experienced its warmest January to September period on record. July in Europe was also the warmest on record, nearly 3℃above normal. In China, average temperatures last year were the highest since 1951. An even hotter summer is predicted this year.To make matters worse, nobody knows for certain how much more heat is safe for humans. Though it seems there is a limit to how much people can bear, there is no cap for temperatures themselves.Still, humans are luckier than plants, which have to deal with temperatures without the benefit of air-conditioners(空调) or pools. But their suffering may cause humans to suffer. According to a study by International Rice Research Institute, rice yields(产量) fall by 10 percent for every 1℃increase in night time temperatures. Rice is the main food for more than half of the world’s people. That means one unexpected effect of weather change could be global hunger.Those living in coastal(沿海的) areas have other worries. They could lose their homes because of rising temperatures, which cause the melting of the planet’s ice cap and glaciers(冰山), leading to rising sea levels.26.
