| In their book Time to Eat the Dog:The Real Guide to Sustainable Living,Robert and Brenda Vale say keeping a mediumsized dog has the same ecological impact as driving 10,000 km a year in a 4.6 liter Land Cruiser. "We're not actually saying it is time to eat the dog.We're just saying that we need to think about and know the ecological impact of some of the things we do and that we take for granted." Constructing and driving the jeep for a year requires 0.41 hectares of land,while growing and manufacturing a dog's food takes about 0.84 hectares-or 1.1 hectares in the case of a large dog such as a German shepherd. Convincing flesheating cats and dogs to go vegetarian for the sake of the planet is a nonstarter,the Vales say.Instead they recommend keeping "greener",smaller,and more sustainable pets,such as goldfish,chickens or rabbits. The book's playful title,and serious suggestion that pet animals may be usefully"recycled",by being eaten by their owners or turned into pet food when they die,may not appeal to animal fans. Annoying as the idea may be,the question is valid given the planet's growing population and limited resources,Robert Vale said. "Issues about sustainability are increasingly becoming things that are going to require us to make choices which are as difficult as eating your dog.It's not just about changing your light bulbs or taking a cloth bag to the supermarket,"he said. "It's about much more challenging and difficult issues," he added. |

| Don't_believe_all_of_the_stereotypes(模式化的形象)you_may_have_heard_about_Americans.Even the ones that are true in general may not be true about specific individuals or a large part of the population.For example,although Americans tend to be louder than people from other cultures(especially at athletic events),many of the people you meet will be quiet and polite.Some people may be intolerant, but most will be pleasant and welcoming.Remember that American films and television exaggerate(夸张)in order to generate excitement, and so present a rather false picture of what life in the United States is really like. Therefore,tourists in the US are not always on their best behavior. Americans do tend to be more informal than people from other countries.It is common for Americans to wear casual clothing to school and to greet professors by first name.However, good manners and politeness are always appreciated.If you are polite, and dress a little more formally than your American friends, it will not be poorly thought of. However,some businesses require their employees to wear a uniform or a suit.It would be improper to wear a Tshirt and blue jeans to a job interview.Some of the more prestigious restaurants require a coat and a tie.Americans tend to dress up for cultural events(the opera,theater and ballet)and to dress down for athletic events.Formal wear is required at weddings and funerals, or any other event with religion.If you rely on the stereotypes,you will likely put yourself into an embarrassing situation. |
| 1. The underlined sentence probably means________. |
| A. some of the stereotypes you may have heard about Americans are not true B. you should not believe the stereotypes you may have heard about Americans C. none of the stereotypes you may have heard about Americans should be believed D. none of the stereotypes you may have heard about Americans should not be believed |
| 2.The passage is probably written for________. |
| A. businessmen B. visitors to America C. American students D. American filmmakers |
| 3.The second paragraph suggests that________. |
| A. most Americans are polite B. people who are polite are welcome C. casual clothing makes others uncomfortable D. American students are impolite to their teachers |
| 4. We can learn from the passage that________. |
| A. American films are mostly poor comedies B. it is good manners to wear blue jeans to a wedding C. Americans usually wear formal clothes in a theater D. to dress formally makes others feel you are not easy to get on with |
