and a major polluter of the environment As a result they are turning to clotheslines as part of the what I can do environmentalism 环境保护主 义 On the other side are people who are against drying clothes outside arguing that clotheslines are unpleasant to look at They have persuaded Homeowners Associations HOAs access the U S to ban outdoor clotheslines because clothesline drying also tends to lower home value in the neighborhood This had led to a Right to Dry Movement that is calling for laws to be passed to protect people s right to use clotheslines So far only three states have laws to protect clothesline Right to Dry 用心 爱心 专心6 supporters argue that there should be more Matt Reck 37 is the kind of eco conscious 有生态意识的 person who feeds his trees with bathwater and reuses water drops from his air conditioners to water plants His family also uses a clothesline But on July 9 2007 the HOA in Wake Forest North Carolina told him that a dissatisfied neighbor had telephoned them about him clothesline The Recks paid no attention to the warning and still dried their clothes on a line in the yard Many people say they are environmentally friendly but they don t take matters in their own hands says Reck The local HOA has decided not to take any action unless more neighbors come to them North Carolina lawmakers are saying that banning clotheslines is not the right thing to do But HOAs and housing businesses believe that clothesline drying reminds people of poor neighborhoods They worry that if buyers think their future neighbors can t even afford dryers housing prices will fall Environmentalists say such worries are not necessary and in view of global warming that idea needs to change As they say The clothesline is beautiful Hanging clothes outside should be encouraged We all have to do at least something to slow down the process of global warming 8 One of the reasons why supporters of clothes dryers are trying to ban clothesline drying is that A clothes dryers are more efficient B clothesline drying reduces home value C clothes dryers are energy saving vD clothesline drying is not allowed in most U S states 9 Which of the following best describes Matt Reck A He

用心 爱心 专心8 Thursday Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own My mom was one of those people My father died when I was nine months old making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen While I was growing up we lived a very hard life We had little money but my mom gave me a lot of love Each night she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life Kemmons you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it At fourteen I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again Every day my mother spoke to me in her gentle loving voice telling me that no matter what those doctors said I could walk again if I wanted to badly enough She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her A year later I returned to school walking on my own When the Great Depression 大萧条 hit my mom lost her job Then I left school to support the both of us At that moment I was determined never to be poor again Over the years I experienced various levels of business success But the real turning point occurred on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951 I was dissatisfied 不满意 with the second class hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra 2 for each child That was too expensive for the average American family I told my wife that I was going to open a motel 汽车旅馆 for families that would never charge extra for children There were plenty of doubters at that time Not surprisingly mom was one of my strongest supporters She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style As in any business we experienced a lot of challenges But with my mother s words deeply rooted in my soul I never doubted we would succeed Fifteen years later we had the largest hotel system in the world Holiday Inn In 1979 my company had 1 759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of 1 billion a year You may not have started out life in the best situation But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself nothing can stop you 67 According to the author who played the most important role in making
