根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Everyone can help to save the world
We are all environmentalists now. We all know about acid rain and the ozone hole. As consumers
we have the power to make decisions which will contribute to a better world and
it is in our power to do what we can to protect the earth.
In this way
we have the power to influence retailers (零售商) to sell us those so-called "green" products. Therefore, the supermarkets have understood the
message and are now trying to improve their environmental image. They are turning to less wasteful and recyclable
packaging. The range of "green" products will continue to expand to meet the growing demand. This message has also reached the manufacturers. They have realized that protecting the environment
may start as an advertising campaign but in the hands of intelligent people it
can become a very profitable business. Besides, we can do more.
Furthermore, we also know there are other areas where all of us can make
a positive contribution to a cleaner, healthier and safer environment. There are a number of ways we can do this. For example, we now know how important it is to have
our homes well insulated (隔热). We should choose the best energy efficient technology, such as modern light bulbs which can reduce
electricity consumption by 80% over the older ones. We must also work hard to reduce the amount of
rubbish we produce. We all produce tons of rubbish and waste disposal has become a big
problem. As an environmentally-conscious consumer we should buy products which do
not have so much packaging. Also, we should try to avoid non-returnable goods at
all costs. In Scandinavia and Germany, for example, plastic bottles and cans are now
returnable goods.
In conclusion it is important to emphasize once again the rise of
consumer power. We must realize that we are all part of the problem.
A. We can all reduce energy consumption at home and so
cut the emissions from power systems.
B. For example, when we walk into a supermarket we can
choose to buy environmentally friendly products and reject products which
damage our planet.
C. There are some other ways to protect the environment.
D. Companies are developing environmentally friendly
products that maintain a high quality and a low price.
E. But what are we doing about these problems?
F. Nevertheless we must also realize that we have the
responsibility to be part of the solution.
G. Everybody has the duty to contribute to a cleaner
world.
