environment through sweeping changes to his personal lifestyle and official schedule. the prince will replace carbon-heavy private jets and helicopters with scheduled flights and train services. the move came as prince charles urged business leaders to publish the environmental pact of their activities. he said, “few accountants and business decision-makers ask, how much of our critical natural resource is left? how many miles of polar ice cap has our business helped melt this year? by how many inches have we raised sea levels? how many species have we put at risk? how many homes will be flooded, how many people will die of thirst or starvation because of our activities? these are not comfortable questions, but, by god, they need to be asked. ”he added, “at the moment these costs do not appear in anyones books yet they are real, they are incurred now and in a relatively short time, the damage being caused may be beyond remedy. ” he said the world was “running up the biggest global credit card debt in history, but with little or no thought for how the bill will ever be paid”. flanked by the prime minister and business and community leaders at st james palace, the prince said his new “accounting for sustainability” project would give consumers the power to choose products that caused less damage to the planet. duchy originals, the princes food company, is taking steps to work out how much carbon dioxide and other green-house gases are emitted in growing, processing and distributing its products. the changes to the princes travel arrangements announced yesterday are part of a wider review of the carbon footprint associated with activities at all three of his residences. clarence house in london, highgrove and birkhall on the balmorals estate(庄园), as well as the activities of his 21 personal and 105 full-time staff. measures include a review of electricity use, commuter and other staff travel and are intended to identify further reductions in carbon dioxide emissions. the review will report in june , when clarence house will announce annual targets to reduce carbon emission. 64. how does prince charles feel about business leaders in terms of

b. the great damage caused to the environmentc. the great amount of debts of the royal family d. the high cost of industry in their producing process67. what would be the best title for the passage?a. prince charles promised greener royal lifestyle b. better late than neverc. prince charles and his concern for environment d. the royal family has a role to play in environment protectiond the word “conservation” has a thrifty meaning. to conserve is to save and protect, to leave what we ourselves enjoy in such a good condition that others may also share the enjoyment. our forefathers had no idea that human population would increase faster than the supplies of raw materials: most of them, even until very recently, had the foolish idea that the treasures were “limitless” and could “last forever”. most of the citizens of earlier generations knew little or nothing about the complicated and delicate system that runs all through nature, and which means that, as in a living body, an unhealthy condition of one part will sooner or later be harmful to all the others.fifty years ago, nature study was not part of the school work; scientific forestry was a new idea; wood was still cheap because it could be brought in any quantity from distant woodlands; soil destruction and river floods were not national problems; nobody had yet studied long-term climatic cycles in relation to proper land use; even the word “conservation” had nothing of the meaning that it has for us today.for the sake of ourselves and those who will come after us, we must now set about correcting the mistakes of our forefathers. conservation should be made part of everybodys daily life. to know about the water table in ground is just as important to us as a knowledge of the basic math formulas. we need to know why all watershe
