Skeptics are a strange lot.Som e of them refuse to admit the serious threat of human activities to the environment, and they are tired of people who disagree with them.Those people, say skeptics, spread nothing but bad news about the environment.The "ecoguilt" brought on by the discouraging news about our planet gives rise to the popularity of skeptics as people search  for more comforting worldviews.Perhaps that explains why a new book by Bjorn Lomborg received so much publicity.That book, The Skeptical Environmentalist, declares that it measures the "real state of the world" as fine.Of course, another explanation is the deep pockets of some big businesses with special interests.Indeed, Mr Lomborg's views are similar to those of some industryfunded organizations, which start huge activities through the media to confuse the public about issues like global warming. So it was strange to see MrLomborg's book go largely unchallenged in the media though his beliefs were contrary to most scientific opinions.One national newspaper in Canada ran a number of articles and reviews full of words of praise, even with the conclusion that "After Lomborg, the environmental movement will begin to die down." Such onesided views should have immediately been challenged.But only a different review appeared in Nature, a respected science magazine with specific readership.The review remarked that Mr Lomborg's "preference for unexamined materials is incredible (不可信的)". A critical (批判的) eye is valuable, and the media should present information in such a way that could allow people to make informed decisions.Unfortunately, that is often inaccessible as blocked by the desire to be shocking or to defend some special interests.People might become halfblind before a world partially exhibited by the media.That's a shame, because matters concerning the health of the planet are far too important to be treated lightly. 1. According to the passage, which of the following may be regarded as "skeptics" ? A. People who agree on the popularity of "ecoguilt". B. People who disbelieve the serious situation of our planet. C. People who dislike the harmful effect of human activities. D. People who spread comforting news to protect our environment. 2. Which of the following can be a reason for the popularity of L  omborg's book?A. Some big businesses intend to protect their own interests. B. The book challenges views about the fine state of the world. C. The author convinces people to seek comforting worldviews. D. Industryfunded media present confusing information. 3. The author mentioned the review in Nature in order to ________. A. voice a different opinion B. find fault with Lomborg's book C. challenge the authority of the media D. point out the value of scientific views 4. What is the author's main purpose in writing the passage? A. To encourage the skeptics to have a critical eye. B. To warn the public of the danger of halfblindness with reviews. C. To blame the media's lack of responsibility in presenting information. D. To show the importance of presenting overall information by the media. |
