Which of the four pictures below is the closest to the igloo hotel as described in the text? C Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment (环境 ) friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of. However, today, more and more consumers are choosing “ green” and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: “ Will this shampoo damage the environment?” “ Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?‖ A recent study showed that two out of five adults now consider the environmental safety of a product before they buy it. This means that panies must now change the way they make and sell their products to make sure that they are “ green,” that is, friendly to the environment. Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds. Some supermarket products carry labels(标签 ) to show that the product is green. Some panies have made the manufacturing (生产 ) of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising. The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making panies rethink how they do business. No longer will the public accept the old attitude of “ Buy it, use it, throw it away, and fet it. ” The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act. 64.

Before 1066, in the land we now call Great Britain lived peoples belonging to two major language groups. In the westcentral region lived the Welsh, who spoke a Celtic language, and in the north lived the Scots, whose language, though not the same as Welsh, was also Celtic. In the rest of the country lived the Saxons, actually a mixture of Anglos, Saxons, and other Germanic and Nordic peoples, who spoke what we now call AngloSaxon(or Old English), a Germanic language. If this state of affairs had lasted, English today would be close to German. But this state of affairs did not last. In 1066 the Normans led by William defeated the Saxons and began their rule over England. For about a century, French became the official language of England while Old English became the language of peasants. As a result, English words of politics and the law e from French rather than German. In some cases, modem English even shows a distinction(区别 ) between upperclass French and lowerclass AngloSaxon in its words. We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still Out in the fields or at home ready to be cooked, which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing the farming, while the upperclass Normans were doing most of the eating. When Americans visit Europe for the first time, they usually find Germany more “ foreign” than France because the German they see on signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than French does. Few realize that the English language is actually Germanic in its beginning and that the French influences are all the result of one man39。 s ambition. 67.
