At one time, computers were expected largely to remove the need for paper copies of documents because they could be stored electronically. But for all the texts that are written, stored and sent electronically, a lot of them are still ending up on paper.
It is difficult to measure the quantity of paper used as a result of the use of Internet-connected computers, although just about anyone who works in an office can tell you that when email is introduced, the printers start working overtime. "I feel in my bones this revolution is causing more trees to be cut down," says Ted Smith of the Earth Village Organization.
Perhaps the best sign of how computer and Internet use pushes up demand for paper comes from the high-tech industry itself, which sees printing as one of its most promising new markets. Several Internet companies have been set up to help small businesses print quality documents from a computer. Earlier this week Hewlett-Packard Co. announced a plan to develop new technologies that will enable people to print even more so they can get a hard copy of a business document, a medical record or just an online email, even if they are nowhere near a computer. As the company sees it, the more use of the Internet the greater demand for printers.
Does all this mean environmental concerns have been forgotten? Some activists suggest people have been led to believe that a lot of dangers to the environment have gone away. "I guess people believe that the problem is taken care of, because of recycling," said Kelly Quirke, director of the Rainforest Action Network in San Francisco. Yet Quirke is hopeful that high-tech may also prove helpful. He says printers that print on both sides are growing in popularity.
The action group has also found acceptable paper made from materials other than wood, such as agricultural waste.

Jack was born without eyes. He was very lucky with his timing. He grew up having other kittens to play and socialize with, and was used to getting on with people from the moment he was born since there were always kids hanging around the barn. He was a favorite amongst the students at the barn. However, when it came time to find the kittens' homes, no one knew where Jack would end up. That was when I got an e-mail from my friend. All she asked was "Do you still want one of the kittens? There's one here with no eyes and no one can take him." Without thinking I told her that I did want the kitten.
When we first brought him home, Jack walked cautiously around, sniffing everything. He went through a time when he could climb the stairs, but couldn't get down. He would sit at the top and cry until someone came and got him. Every now and then when he gets disoriented he'll stop and cry. But we just call his name and talk to him and it isn't long before he finds his way back to us.
Also, a few weeks after getting Jack, we got a new barn cat named Bear. I always take Jack outside at that time for some fresh air and exercise. He loves to run(at top speed!)around the backyard and gardens. Bear and Jack have become best friends. Jack always knows when Bear is around. He'll run across the yard straight to Bear and wrap his front legs around his neck in a big hug. When they're tired they'll lie down in the grass together.
Jack is truly an inspiration. I've owned a lot of kittens in my life, but Jack is the happiest, most playful of them all. People who know Jack don't feel sorry for him. They cherish him for the treasure that he is. I have talked to a few people who haven't met him personally and tend to pity him, but they just don't understand. Jack doesn't need pity. I think that cats like him don't have disabilities; they have adaptabilities.

Everyone is talking about amazing travel experiences. However, there is always the other side of the coin. If you want to add more wonderful travel experiences to your life, make sure you avoid these health mistakes during your next trip.
Refusing injections
At times you are asked to have an injection in order to avoid a certain disease before traveling to your destination. In many cases, mosquito bites lead to malaria(疟疾) and there are many other health risks that you may face during your trip. Refusing injections is the worst thing you can do to your health.
Eating out in the street
. Yes, it is cheaper and tastier than restaurant meals. However, when visiting a country where clean food and dishes arc not priority (优先),your stomach may not survive this experiment. Just because locals eat street food and feel healthy does not mean you will feel the same.
Drinking tap water
Staying hydrated(吸入水分)is necessary, so is the water choice. Even if locals tell you that their tap water is safe to drink, it is best to choose bottled water. . it is at least clean. It is always better to be safe than sorry.
. Google maps make our travel experiences easier since you can check out the place you are going to visit before you even book the ticket. Unfortunately, not all tourists take advantage of them. This is a successful way to really relax and enjoy the trip.
Even an expert traveler is guilty of making most of these health mistakes. , you will probably not commit any of them during the trip, will you?
A. Eat lots of good nutritious food B. Although it is not the healthiest choice C. Budget travelers are all guilty of eating street food D. Being unaware of surroundings E. Make sure you get it F. Now that you know some health mistakes to avoid G. Having a good knowledge of map details |
游月陂bēi!
宋程颢
月陂堤上四徘徊,北有中天百尺台。
万物己随秋气改,一褥聊为晚凉开。
水心云影闲相照,林下泉声静白来。
世事无端何足计,但逢佳节约重陪。
[注]月陂(bēi):水泊名。因形如刀,故名月陂,遗地在;洛阳洛水之南。
