26、 How To Be Green?
What does “green” mean? “Green” is more than just a color. 【1】 Why green? Plants are green, and without them the Earth wouldn't be such a lovely home for us human beings. What can we do? Here's a four-step guide to being green.
Reduce It!
【2】 For instance, a shorter shower means you use less water and less fuel since your house uses fuel to run the water heater that warms up the water.
Reuse It!
Sometimes people call our society a “throwaway society”. It means that we're a little too willing to throw away old stuff(东西) and buy new stuff. 【3】 . For instance, if your baby brother becomes older and loses interest in his plastic basketball hoop(篮圈), why not give it to another family who has a little kid?
Recycle It!
Recycling has never been easier. Many communities(社区) will pick it up right in front of your house and some towns even require it. Recycled goods go to a recycling center, where they can be turned into new cans, bottles, and paper.
Enjoy It!
It's true that rubbish and pollution are problems, but the Earth remains a huge and beautiful place that's ready for you to explore. 【4】 Go for a hike, visit local nature centers and gardens, and climb up mountains.
But before you travel around the world, take a look at your own backyard. Find a place where you could plant a tree or put in a little fruit or vegetable garden. 【5】
A.Get out there and get your hands dirty.
B.Turn off the water when you're brushing your teeth.
C.It also means taking special steps to protect the environment.
D.When you use less of something, you do a good thing for the Earth.
E.You can start locally by visiting the naturally beautiful spots in your city.
F.Many times, even if you no longer need something, someone else just might.
G.Then you can watch with pride as your tree takes root and your garden plants grow.
27、The Statue of Liberty is recognized as a universal symbol of freedom. It was extremely generous of the people of France to give it to the American people, especially as the money was raised by donations from the public who recognized what the countries had in common. After all, both nations had fought revolutions to secure their nationhood.
Nowadays, it seems as though the gift has been returned with interest with the foundation of Euro Disney near Paris. Nevertheless, many French people feel it symbolizes a kind of “cultural colonialism”. To tell the truth, I would not welcome the presence of such a theme park in the middle of England, for the same reason. Mind you, neither England nor France has ever been afraid to export their own culture and values.
Anyway, it is not difficult to understand why they chose to build Euro Disney near Paris. It is a geographically logical site, in the centre of continental Europe, right by the capital city with its own attractions and so on. All the same, was it a culturally logical decision? There is the issue of “cultural colonialism” which I have already mentioned. What’s more, do the French need Mickey Mouse when they have their own cartoon hero in the form of the brave little Gaul, Asterix? Euro Disney’s rival the Parc Asterix has proved a popular destination for families wanting a day out. By the way, Parc Asterix is an easy drive from Paris too. Millions of dollars have been poured into Euro Disney to provide a top class attraction but the thing is, can visitors expect an authentic American welcome? The answer must surely be “no”! There again, Euro Disney is a cheaper option for most Europeans than going all the way to the States.
All in all I would rather create theme parks which celebrated my own heroes than accept those from elsewhere. In a word, this is because it is not always possible to transport culture—like some wines they do not travel well. In the future I will take my family to Florida to Disney World and the Magic Kingdom.
However, until that day arrives we won't be going to Euro Disney. There is a time and place for everything.
【1】As for Euro Disney, many French people________.
A.are unhappy with it
B.show no interest in it
C.treat it with extreme caution
D.think it a reward for the Statue of Liberty
【2】The underlined word “rival” in paragraph 3 means________.
A.partner
B.competitor
C.neighbor
D.customer
【3】Which of the following is the author’s opinion?
A.Euro Disney can’t provide real American service.
B.Parc Asterix is more expensive than Euro Disney.
C.Theme parks should accept popular heroes.
D.American culture isn’t popular around the world.
【4】What can be the best title of the passage?
A.The Development of Euro Disney
B.French’s Argument against Euro Disney
C.The Popularity of Euro Disney
D.French’s Disagreement about American Culture

29、 It was the summer of 1965. DeLuca, then 17, visited Peter Buck, a family friend. Buck asked DeLuca about his plans for the future. “I’m going to college,but I need a way to pay for it” DeLuca recalls saying, “Buck said ‘You should open a sandwich shop.’”
That afternoon, they agreed to be partners. And they set a goal: to open 32 stores in ten years. After doing some research, Buck wrote a check for $1,000. DeLuca rented a storefront (店面) in Connecticut, and when they couldn't cover their startup costs,Buck kicked in another $1,000.
But business didn't go smoothly as they expected. DeLuca says, “After six months,we were doing poorly, but we didn't know how badly, because we didn't have any financial controls.” All he and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs.
DeLuca was managing the store and going to the University of Bridgeport at the same time. Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York. They'd meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running. “We convinced ourselves to open a second store. We figured we could tell the public. ‘We are so successful,we are opening a second store.’” And they did—in the spring of 1966. Still, it was a lot of learning by trial and error.
But the partners' learnasyougo approach turned out to be their greatest strength. Every Friday, DeLuca would drive around and hand-deliver the checks to pay their suppliers. “It probably took me two and a half hours and it wasn't necessary, but as a result, the suppliers got to know me very well, and the personal relationships established really helped out.” DeLuca says.
And having a goal was also important. “There are so many problems that can get you down. You just have to keep working toward your goal.” DeLuca adds.
DeLuca ended up founding Subway Sandwich, the multimilliondollar restaurant chain.
