What can we do?Here are some steps you can take.Cooling puts the greatest stress on your summer energy bill and the power grid (电网). Just as a tune-up for your car can improve your gas mileage,a yearly tune-up of your heating and cooling system can improve efficiency and comfort. Clean or replace filter monthly or as needed.For central air conditioning systems and room air conditioners,look for the ENERGY STAR,the federal governments symbol for energy efficiency. For central air,purchase the system with the highest possible Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratia(SEER).Use energy-efficient ceiling fans either alone or with air conditioning. Ceiling fans do a great job of circulating air. When used with air conditioning,fans allow you to raise the thermostat (恒温器)and cut costs. Ceiling fans cool people,not rooms,so before you leave,turn off the ceiling fan.Let a programmable thermostat “remember for you” to automatically adjust the indoor climate with your daily and weekend patterns to reduce cooling bills by up to 10 percent. You can come home to a comfortable house without wasting energy and creating pollution all day while you are at work.Try to make your home airtight enough to increase your comfort,make your home quieter and cleaner and reduce your cooling costs up to 20 percent.Cut your air conditioning load,and reduce pollution by planting leafy trees around your home and fixing reflective bricks on your roof.Close blinds or shades on south-and west-facing windows during the day,or fix shading equipment to avoid heat build-up.Turn off everything not in use:lights,TVs,computers. And use fluorescent bulbs (荧光灯),which provide bright,warm light while using at least two-thirds less energy,producing 70 percent less beat and lasting up to 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs (白炽灯).Drive the car that gets better gas mileage whenever possible if you own more than one vehicle. If you drive 12,500 miles a year,switching 10 percent of your trips from a car that gets 20 miles per gallon to one that gets 30 mpg will save you more than $65 per year.Carpool. The average U. S. commuter (乘车上班族) could save about $260 a year by sharing cars twice a week with two other people in a car that gets 20. 1 mpgassuming the three passengers share the cost of gas.1.

Is this a good thing?Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and talk about interests both enjoy,such as pop culture,he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.I would never have said to my mom,Hey,the new Weezer album is really great. How do you like it?” says Ballmer. “There was just a complete gap in taste.”Music was not the onlygulf. From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations,earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits.Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families. Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago. Now they are comfortable and common. And parent-child activities, from shopping to sports, involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood.No wonder greeting cards today carry the message, “To my mother, my best friend.”But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents.“Theres still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there, but there is a change happening,” says Kerrie, a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College. “In the middle of that change, there is a lot of confusion among parents. “Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes. They see the 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic process that encourages everyone to have a say.My parents were on the before side of that change, but todays parents, the 40-year-olds,were on the after side,” explains Mr. Ballmer. “Its not something easily accomplished by parents these days, because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now.”1.
