obamas victory appears to have given blacks and other minorities a true national role model. for years, many looked to athletes and musicians for inspiration. as darius turner, an african-american high school student in los angeles, told the los angeles times, “kobe doesnt have to be everybodys role model anymore.” recent polls（民意测验）also suggest that obamas victory has given americans new optimism about race relations. for example, a usa today poll found that two-thirds of americans believe relations between blacks and whites “will finally be worked out”. this is the most hopeful response since the question was first asked during the civil rights revolution in 1963. however, its still too early to tell whether obamas presidency will begin to solve many of the social problems facing low-income black communities. although blacks make up only 13 percent of the us population, 55 percent of all prisoners are african-american. such numbers can be blamed on any number of factors on americas racist past, a failure of government policy and the collapse(瓦解)of the family unit in black communities. it is unlikely that obama will be able to reverse (扭转) such trends overnight. however, bill bank, an expert of african-american studies, says that eventually young blacks need to find role models in their own communities. “thats not martin luther king, and not barack obama,” he told the los angeles times. “its actually the people closest to them. barack only has so much influence.” in the opinion of black british politician trevor phillips, obamas rise will contribute more to multiculturalism than to race relations in the us. “when the g8 meets, the four most important people in the room will be the president of china, the prime minister of india, the prime minister of japan and barak obama,” he told londons the times newspaper. “it will be the first time weve seen that on our television screens. that will be a huge psychological shift (心理转变) for both the white people and the colored ones in the world.”47. for years, before obama was elected president of the us, _. a. kobe was the only role model for all the blacks b. blacks could only find role models on the basketball court c. minorities in america couldnt find role models in their real life d. american blacks had no role model who was successful in political area48. according to bill bank, _. a. its better for young blacks to find role models in those who are close to them b. young blacks should not be so much influenced by obama c. blacks should find other role models because obama is far from their reality d. obama is not the proper role model for african-americans49. what would be the best title for this passage? a. the first african-american president b. americas new role model c. obama- a successful black . d. choosing a right role model50. what will be the huge psychological shift trevor mentioned at the end of the passage? a. the other three leaders all support obama. b. obama is an african-american president. c. none of the four leaders is white. d. the other three leaders except obama are from asian countries.参考答案- dabcahow often do you travel by plane?how much electricity do you use? these days everyone is worried about the size of their carbon footprintin order to reduce global warming we need to make our carbon footprints smallerbut how much co2 are we responsible for?a new book by mike berners lee （a leading expert in carbon footprint） might be able to helphow bad are bananas? the carbon footprint of everything looks at the different things we do and buy, and calculates the amount of co2 all of the following created: the ingredients （=parts of a mixture）, the electricity used in the brewery, the equipment, the travel and commuting （交换） of the beer, and the packagingits amazing how many different things need to be included in each calculationand its frightening how much carbon dioxide everything producesbut all of this can help us decide which beer to drinkfrom berners-lees calculations, its clear that a pint （568ml） of locally-brewed beer has a smaller carbon footprint than a bottle of imported beerthis is because the imported beer has been transported from far away, and it uses more packagingthe local beer only produces 300g of co2, but the imported beer produces 900g! so, one pint of local beer is better for the environment than three cans of cheap foreign lager （淡啤酒） from the supermarketberners-lee has even calculated the carbon footprint of cycling to worknothing is more environmentally-friendly than riding a bike, surely? well, it depends on what youve had to eat beforeto ride a bike we need energy and for energy we need foodso if we eat a banana and then ride a kilometer and a half, our footprint is 65g of co2however, if we eat bacon before the bike ride, its 200gin fact, bananas are good in general because they dont need packaging, they can be transported by boat and they grow in natural sunlightso, does this mean that cycling is bad for the environment? absolutely not, for a start, if you cycle, you dont use your car, and the fewer cars on the road, the fewer traffic jamsand cars in traffic jams produce three times more co2 than cars traveling at speedcycling also makes you healthy and less likely to go to a hospitaland hospitals have very big carbon footprints! so maybe its time for us all to start making some changespass me a bana
