With hardware designers like Intel, pushing newer,

Producing a personal computer consumes large quantities of natural resources. A recent stud

40、y by the United Nations estimates the energy required to produce a single new computer is equivalent to nearly two barrels of oil.

43、 now requires that 70% of parts from old computers be recycled, but the studys authors say thats also part of the problem. The solution, they insist, is for governments and companies to encourage people to use their computers longer, and upgrade rather than replace. But considering that much of the

44、worlds recent economic growth has come from spending on computers and information technology, that advice may sound like wishful thinking. 54.

My friend Jean was divorced after a thirty-year marriage that produced three daughters, one son and eight grandchildren. Because she ac

49、tually raised them single-handedly, Jean was hurt and angry that the children didn't take her part after the divorce. For months she refused to attend any family celebration to which her former husband Jim was invited. When I reasoned that her childrens understanding of the relationship with and

50、 between the parents was probably altogether different from hers, she stuck to the belief that she was right. One day Jean called in tears. “Saturday is my granddaughter's birthday, and I want to be with her, but I cant bring myself to face my former husband.” “Jim isn't the problem,” I said

51、 gently, “it's false pride. Instead of holding on to the painful past, which is over and done, let the feelings go and get on with your life. You're depriving yourself of the joy of sharing in these important occasions, while Jim feels free to experience them. Tell me, would you rather be ri

52、ght, or be happy?” 高考资源网 That must have done the trick because when Saturday arrived, Jean appeared at her daughter's home carrying her famous chocolate-chip cookies and a beautiful birthdaycake. 高考资源网How great it feels to let go! And the more we practice the art of letting go of all negativity,

53、 the better able we become to devote our thoughts, our time, and our energy to living joyfully in the present, what ever age we happen to be.58. It can be inferred that _. A.
