Thats the way most parents are living their lives, no weekends of their own, no time to visit friends, not even a chance of promotion in their jobs.Asking help from their pa

28、rents might be a way out,but problems are that some aging parents arc not strong enough to take care of the kids, and that the kids may also become too spoiled by their grandparents.Then, here comes a solution: families with kids can form a small group, and parents of each family can take turns to l

29、ook after all the kids in this group on weekends. Thus, other parents can have some quiet time and feel free to do something theyve been planning for a long time.

But

34、there is much that can be done to minimize damage and loss of life. Measures that can be taken include designing solid buildings, and developing early-warming systems, public education programs and evacuation( 拔 散 ） strategics.Moreover, the approach of a tsunami is possibly picked up by the sensors

35、of complicated international warming systems. Countries can use radio and television broadcasts as well as loudspeaker networks to warn the public.But an early warming system depends on how far the tsunami strikes, if its close by, the warning system is not going to be very effective.

36、e faced with an unstoppable force like a tsunami the massive waves created by events like underwater earthquakes, the best course of action for them is lo get inland and to the higher ground as quickly as possible.66.

40、um, an organization led byAnnan, the former United Nations secretary general.The report, to be released Friday, analyzed data and existing studies of health, disaster,population and economic trends. It found that human-influenced climate change was raising theglobal death rates from illnesses includ

41、ing malnutrition (营养不良）and heal-related healthproblems.But even before its release, the report drew criticism from some experts on climate and risk,who questioned its methods and conclusions.Along with the deaths, the report said that the lives of 325 million people, primarily in poorcountries, were

42、 being seriously affected by climate change. It projected that the number woulddouble by 2030.Roger PielkeJr.a political scientist at the University of Colorado, Boulder, who studiesdisaster trends, said the Forums report was “a methodological embarrassment” because there wasno way to distinguish de

43、aths or economic losses related to human-driven global warming amid themuch larger losses resulting from the growth in populations and economic development invulnerable (易受伤害的)regions. Dr. Pielke said that “climate change is an important problemrequiring our utmost attention. “But the report, he sai

44、d, will harm the cause for action on bothclimate change and disasters because it is so deeply flawed (有瑕疵的).”However, Soren Andreasen, a social scientist at Dalberg Global Development Partners whosupervised the writing of the report, defended it, saying that it was clear that the numbers wererough e

45、stimates. He said the report was aimed at world leaders, who will meet in Copenhagen inDecember to negotiate a new international climate treaty.In a press release describing the report, Mr. Annan stressed the need for the negotiations tofocus on increasing the flow of money from rich to poor regions

46、 to help reduce their vulnerabilityto climate hazards while still curbing the emissions of the heat-trapping gases.

50、ned.C. It will give rise to heated discussions at the Copenhagen conference.D. Its rough estimates arc meant to draw the attention of world leaders.75.

52、h is harvestedfrom icebergs off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.Arthur von Wiesenberger, who carries the title Water Master, is one of the few water criticsin North America. As a boy, he spent time in the larger cities of Italy, France and Switzerland,where bottled water is consumed daily. Even th

53、en, he kept a water journal, noting the brands heliked best “my dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water,” He says.But is plain tap water all that bad? Not at all. In fact. New Yorks municipal water for morethan a century was called the champagne of lap water and until recently co

54、nsidered among the bestin the world in terms of both taste and purity. Similarly, a magazine in England found that tapwater from the Thames River tasted better than several leading brands of bottled water that were400 times more expensive.Nevertheless, soft-drink companies view bottled water as the

55、next battle-ground for marketshare-this despite the fact that over 25 percent of bottled water comes from tap water: PepsiCosAquafina and Coca-Colas Dasani arc both purified tap water rather than spring water.As diners thirst for leading brands, bottlers and restaurateurs salivate(垂涎)over the profit

56、s.A restaurants typical mark-up on wine is 100 to 150 percent, whereas on bottled water its often300 to 500 percent. But since water is much cheaper than wine, and many of the fancier brandsarent available in stores, most diners dont notice or care.As a result, some restaurants are turning up the pr

57、essure to sen bottled water.According toan article in The Street Journal, some of the more shameless tactics include placing attractivebottles on the table for a visual sell, listing brands on the menu without prices, and pouring bottledwater without even asking the diners if they want it.Regardless of how its sold, the popularity of bottled whaler taps into our desire fo
