In 2006，one of the readers who read my article online commented with anger that someone actually warned about the potential problems of the uncontrolled spread of private cars，and nothing happened.,For the majority of Chinese people who did not have cars，and who were admiring the wonders and comfort cars bringing to life，the temptation of cars was irresistible at the time.I had a young Chinese friend when I was studying in Boston.He bought a car before he learned how to drive.He started to drive the first night he got the car before he had a driver license.The police caught him driving his car around 2：00 in the morning in the neighborhood.The police decided to let him go because he told the police that he came from China，and that it had been his dream to own and drive a car.Now he had a car，and he simply could not sleep anymore.He was too eager to drive his car.,Now the Chinese government and Chinese people see with their own eyes what harms the uncontrolled ownership of car can do to their cities and their health.I hope that the Chinese people and Chinese government would be able to take some drastic measures to deal with this air pollution problems which threaten their own health now.,语篇解读 本文作者讲到了中国现在极差的空气质量正是他之前所预料的，委婉地指出了过去中国政府对大气污染不够重视，政策和措施不到位。面对当前的雾霾天气，作者希望中国政府和人民采取严厉措施来处理大气污染问题。,语篇解读,1.Where does the author probably come from?

It canin a big way.New studies show how food and its production affect the globe and its warming climate.Youve probably heard of global warming.The temperature is on the rise because humankind has been releasing(排放) amounts of gases into the atmosphere.One of these greenhouse gases is carbon dioxide (二氧化碳).,What does this have to do with food？A big part of the carbon dioxide that we put in the atmosphere every year comes from the process of making and eating food.The production of meat contributes a lot of that carbon dioxide.And much of meats contribution comes from beef，which is responsible for releasing even more warming gases into the atmosphere. The process of making a hamburger，for example，requires a lot of energy.A cow has to be fed and raised on farmland，and cow waste is a major source of methane (沼气)an especially powerful greenhouse gas.The cow has to be killed.The meat has to be processed and shipped to a shop，,which takes fuel.Most of the cow wont even be used for meat that people eat.By the time a hamburger finally lands on a dinner plate，it has made a heavy effect on the environment. We can reduce the production of global-warming gases by eating less beef.Other kinds of meat like pork and chicken do less harm to the environmentat least in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases released. All kinds of meat are harder on the planet than vegetables.To grow and eat a pound of potatoes，for example，sends less than one-quarter pound of carbon dioxide into the air.So changing our diet to less meat and more vegetables，as it turns out，may do the world some good.,语篇解读,语篇解读 文章介绍了人们的饮食会引起温室效应，特别是肉类加工会排放温室气体，作者建议人们改变对环境不利的饮食方式。,9.The questions asked in the first paragraph are used to .
