Indoor Pollution Kills Millions Every Year Cooking wi

Indoor smoke contains many pollutants that can damage health, such carbon monoxide and particulate p

4、ollution levels that may be 20 times higher than accepted guidelines. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), indoor air pollution is responsible for 2.7 percent of the global burden of disease, and pneumonia accounts for the deaths of two million children every year. In , cooking with sol

Cleaner Fuels, Modern Stoves The solution is to help low-income families and developing countries switch to better stoves that burn liquefied petroleum gas, biogas, or other cleaner fuels. Swi

6、tching from a traditional stove to an improved stove substantially reduces indoor smoke and immediately creates a healthier environment. Making cleaner fuels and improved stoves available to millions of poor people in developing countries will reduce child mortality and improve womens health, said D

In addition to the health gains, household energy programs can help lift families out of poverty and accelerate development progress. Low Investment for Big Health and Economic Benefits On average, it would cost as litt

8、le as $6 for families to install stoves that are better ventilated and more fuel-efficient. Halving the number of people worldwide still cooking with solid fuels by would cost $13 billion, but the economic benefit would be $91 billion annually, largely owing to reduced illness, fewer deaths, shorter

9、 cooking times, and less time spent collecting firewood and other fuel. With more time available, the report says, children would do better in school, while their mothers could engage in childcare, agriculture or other income-generating activities to help break the cycle of poverty. Making improved

About 90 percent of the costs of switching to better stoves and clea

11、ner fuels would be borne by families that installed the new stoves, but investments in new technologies, local businesses, and micro-credit systems to help with financing also would be required to carry out the plan. Direct Cause and Effect The report demonstrates that if 100 million more homes were

12、 using liquefied petroleum gas or other cleaner fuels for cooking, then 473 million fewer people would be exposed to harmful indoor air pollution, and respiratory diseases would cause 282,000 fewer deaths each year. It is a travesty that 1.5 million lives a yearmany of those of children whose lives

17、 along a HYPERLINK /wiki/Flyway flyway between breeding and wintering grounds, undertaken by many species of HYPERLINK /wiki/Bird birds. Migration, which carries high costs in predation and mortality, including from hunting by humans, is driven primarily by availability of food. Migration occurs mai

Threats to migratory birds have grown with habitat destruction especially of stopover and wintering sites, as well as

21、structures such as power lines and wind farms. The HYPERLINK /wiki/Arctic_Tern Arctic Tern holds the long-distance migration record for birds, travelling between Arctic breeding grounds and the Antarctic each year. Some species of tubenoses ( HYPERLINK /wiki/Procellariiformes Procellariiformes) such

Shorter migrations are common, including al

23、titudinal migrations on mountains such as the Andes and Himalayas. The timing of migration is controlled primarily by changes in day length. Migrating birds navigate using celestial cues from the sun and stars, the earths magnetic field, and probably also mental maps. Migration has developed indepen

25、間之內(nèi)，找到與題干相吻合旳句子所在旳段落。其實(shí)這道題就是在赤裸裸旳考察學(xué)生批準(zhǔn)轉(zhuǎn)換旳能力。 另一方面：由于這道題做題相稱費(fèi)時(shí)間，并且對旳率普遍偏低，因此我建議學(xué)生把這一大題放在整篇文章旳最后來完畢。 最后，當(dāng)我們要完畢這道題時(shí)，我們要理解一下這道題旳特點(diǎn)。 A. 永遠(yuǎn)旳第一題型，放后做。它和list of headings是相克旳，由于兩個(gè)題型都是考段落，但是list of headings考察段落旳主旨，而這道題則是考察純細(xì)節(jié)。 B. 完全亂序。因此必須把題干中旳核心詞一次性所有劃出，并且盡量旳記住所劃單詞。 C. 有也許浮現(xiàn)NB: You may use any letter more t

26、han once表白有一種或一種以上旳段落會(huì)被反復(fù)使用一次。 D. 這道題波及全文，因此很大限度上，這道題會(huì)和背面旳細(xì)節(jié)題有關(guān)聯(lián)，一旦我們找到這個(gè)關(guān)系所在，解開這道題也不會(huì)難。 劍橋雅思推薦原文練習(xí) 本文為典型話題中旳典型，往年機(jī)經(jīng)相應(yīng)： 0510, 0731 鳥旳遷徙 Migration of birds 0303, 0910 鳥類定位和導(dǎo)航 Orientation of birds 建議參照： 劍橋真題預(yù)測7: Lets go bats 理解動(dòng)物以及其生活中導(dǎo)航尋路有關(guān)詞匯和背景知識，以及類似生物周期學(xué)文章中對于同種生物特性普遍舉例和相應(yīng)出題旳規(guī)律。 Reading Passage 3 T

27、itle: 購買新產(chǎn)品旳心理 Question types: 選擇題 Multiple Choice 配對題 Matching 是非判斷 TRUE/ FALSE/ NOT GIVEN 文章內(nèi)容回憶 有關(guān)經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)相對優(yōu)勢旳問題。內(nèi)容有講到公司與創(chuàng)新，并分析了某些消費(fèi)者心理，有各路專家出來給出解釋。印象比較深刻旳觀點(diǎn)是說消費(fèi)者會(huì)拿商品和自己已有旳物品比較進(jìn)行主觀判斷，并且總體上購買欲是比較悲觀旳。有兩個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)： 一種是讓兩組人分別扮演買者和賣者，對一批咖啡杯進(jìn)行估價(jià)，賣者永遠(yuǎn)比買者估價(jià)高出一倍左右。 另一種是三組小朋友，一組可以任意選擇被告知價(jià)格差不多旳咖啡杯和瑞士巧克力，第二組有咖啡杯但她們可以選擇

28、用自己旳咖啡杯去換巧克力，第三組有巧克力但可以選擇用自己旳巧克力換咖啡杯。成果已有咖啡杯或巧克力旳人，只有10%左右樂意拿手頭旳東西換新旳。 于是各路專家繼續(xù)解釋。 有關(guān)英文原文閱讀 Understanding the Psychology of New-Product Adoption More than a century ago, Ralph Waldo Emerson is reported to have said, “If a man can write a better book, preach a better sermon, or make a better mousetra

In todays hypercompetitive marketplace, companies that successfully introduce new products are more likely to flourish than those that dont. Bu

30、sinesses spend billions of dollars making better “mousetraps” only to find consumers roundly rejecting them. Studies show that new products fail at the stunning rate of between 40% and 90%, depending on the category, and the odds havent changed much in the past 25 years. In the U.S. packaged goods i

31、ndustry, for instance, companies introduce 30,000 products every year, but 70% to 90% of them dont stay on store shelves for more than 12 months. Most innovative productsthose that create new product categories or revolutionize old onesare also unsuccessful. According to one study, 47% of first move

32、rs have failed, meaning that approximately half the companies that pioneered new product categories later pulled out of those businesses. Consider three high-profile innovations whose performances have fallen far short of expectations: Webvan spent more than $1 billion to create an online grocery bu

33、siness, only to declare bankruptcy in July after failing to attract as many customers as it thought it would. In spite of gaining the support of Apples Steve Jobs, Amazons Jeff Bezos, and many high-profile investors, Segway sold a mere 6,000 scooters in the 18 months after its launcha far cry from t

34、he 50,000 to 100,000 units projected. Although TiVos digital video recorder (DVR) has garnered rave reviews since the late 1990s from both industry experts and product adopters, the company had amassed $600 million in operating losses by because demand trailed expectations. After the fact, experts a

35、nd novices alike tend to dismiss unsuccessful innovations as bad ideas that were destined to fail. But surely thats too simple an explanation. If these innovations are so misguided, why isnt it obvious before the fact? Webvan was backed by seasoned retailers, executives, and investment bankers, but

36、it was nonetheless a spectacular failure. While the Segway and TiVo stories have yet to play out fully, both company executives and industry analysts were far more optimistic about those innovations than they should have been. Why do consumers fail to buy innovative products even when they offer dis

37、tinct improvements over existing ones? Why do companies invariably have more faith in new products than is warranted? Few would question the objective advantages of many innovations over existing alternatives, but thats often not enough for them to succeed. To understand why new products fail to liv

38、e up to companies expectations, we must delve into the psychology of behavior change. This article presents a behavioral framework that explains why so many products fail and outlines some actions that companies can take to improve their chances of success. New products often require consumers to ch

39、ange their behavior. As companies know, those behavior changes entail costs. Consumers incur transaction costs, such as the activation fees they have to pay when they switch from one cellular service provider to another. They also bear learning costs, such as when they shift from manual to automatic

40、 automo-bile transmissions. People sustain obsolescence costs, too. For example, when they switch from VCRs to DVD players, their video-tape collections become useless. All of these are economic switching costs that most companies routinely anticipate. What businesses dont take into account, however

41、, are the psychological costs associated with behavior change. Many products fail be-cause of a universal, but largely ignored, psychological bias: People irrationally over value bene?ts they currently possess relative to those they dont. The bias leads consumers to value the advantages of products they own more than the bene?ts of new ones. It also leads executives to value t
