theamountofwater.Theprocessalsoproducesmoregreenhousegases.然而，生產(chǎn)紙袋所消耗的能源是塑料袋的四倍，而耗水則多達(dá)三倍。其生產(chǎn)過程也會產(chǎn)生更多的溫室氣體。Infact,bothkindsofbagsarebadfortheenvironment.So,takeareusablebagwithyouwhenyougoshopping.事實上這兩種袋子都不夠環(huán)保，所以出門購物時請帶上一個可重復(fù)使用的袋子。Whenyouturnoffadevice,itstopsusingpower.關(guān)掉的電器不耗電？Whenweturnoffadevice,suchastelevision,itgoesintostand-bymode.Devicesinthismodestillusepower,andolderdevicesinstand-bymodecanuseevenmore.This

fromitspowersupply.當(dāng)我們關(guān)掉電視等電器時，它會進(jìn)入待機狀態(tài)。這種狀態(tài)下的電器仍然耗電，而且越舊的電器耗電越多。這是因為電器即使已經(jīng)被“關(guān)掉”了，卻依然有電流從電器中流失。為確保電器設(shè)備徹底關(guān)閉，請從電源上拔下電器插頭。行業(yè)PPT模板http:///hangye/removeremove...from...把……從……移開/撤掉；從……移走……removefrom...to...從……搬到……removeone'sdoubt消除某人的疑慮removeone'sclothes脫下某人的衣服removesb.fromone'spost/position撤某人的職；開除某人removesb.fromschool把某人從學(xué)校開除；勒令某人退學(xué)removethepaintingtoanotherwall把畫移到另一面墻上removethedishesfromthetable拿走桌子上的盤子removethemudfromyourshoes除掉你鞋上的泥wereremoved練習(xí)：Threeworkers____________(remove)fromthecompanyforbadbehavioryesterday.Eatinglocalfoodisgoodfortheenvironment.吃本地食物更有利于環(huán)保？Itseemslikecommonsense:eatinglocalfoodshouldbebetterfortheenvironment,becauseitdoesnotneedtobetransportedlongdistancesandkeptcoldduringtransport.

Unfortunately,itisnotthatsimple.這似乎是常識：吃本地產(chǎn)的食物更環(huán)保因為不需要長途低溫運輸。然而事實沒有那么簡單。Itistheproductionoffood,notitstransport,thatusesmostoftheenergyandproducesmostofthegreenhousegases.

相比于運輸，食物的生產(chǎn)過程才是消耗大部分能源及生產(chǎn)大部分溫室氣體的原因。陳述句的強調(diào)句型Itis/was+被強調(diào)部分（通常是主語、賓語或狀語）+that/who（當(dāng)強調(diào)主語且主語指人）+其他部分。Insomecases,localproducemighthaveusedmoreenergyandproducedmoregreenhousegasesthanproducegrownalongwayaway-eventakingintoaccountitstransport.在有些情況下，即使將運輸因素考慮在內(nèi)，本地的農(nóng)產(chǎn)品也可能比距離遙遠(yuǎn)的外地種植的農(nóng)產(chǎn)品耗能更多，產(chǎn)生的溫室氣體也更多。produce:v.制造，制作n.農(nóng)產(chǎn)品It’sbettertotakeashowerthanabath.淋浴比泡澡更好？Itdependsonhowlongyouspendintheshowerandhowlargeyourbathis.Ifyouspendmorethaneightminutesinashower,you’lluseasmuchwaterasinabath-about50litresofwater.Therefore,thekeyistokeepyourshowertimeasshortaspossible
