28、We all have an idea about the common types of environmental problems. However, light pollution may be a new term to many of us. But, the fact is, it does affect mankind, other living forms and the environment as a whole.
What is light pollution? It presents all forms of misused man-made light. The obvious cause of light pollution is the use of outdoor lighting products improperly. It can be office lighting, car headlights, station lights, streetlights and many more.
Light pollution is harmful to both animals and plants. Upon studies, it is found that obvious effects are observed in the behaviour of nocturnal animals. Needless to mention, bright light at night makes it difficult for these animals to hunt, wander and perform their regular activities. Light pollution is directly or indirectly responsible for causing several diseases. Its effects are related to disturbance in the physical rhythm. It contributes to risks of developing cancerous cells. So, it’s nothing less than a threat to human health.
You have already seen the negative effects of light pollution on animals and human health. Apart from this, the actual cost of misused light is about millions of dollars every year. It also leads to the release of greenhouse gases and global warming. After all, fuels are used for producing electricity.
While outdoor lighting and using man-made lighting products are part of our modern lifestyle, some simple ways will surely help in reducing light pollution. For example, while installing outdoor lighting, make sure that they are pointed downwards. Also, use only the required lighting equipment for both home and offices. Believe it or not, many people living in the urban areas cannot view clear sky and stars at night. Let’s contribute our part in reducing the pollution.
【1】What can we learn about light pollution?
A．It has no effect on plants.
B．It contributes to most cancers.
C．It is a negative fruit of light technology.
D．It affects animals’ normal activities in the daytime.
【2】How does light pollution affect the climate?
A．It reduces temperatures by days and makes nights warmer.
B．It creates more clouds over parts of the Earth.
C．It stops the release of greenhouse gases.
D．It causes global temperatures to go up.
【3】How can we contribute our part in reducing light pollution?
A．Forbidding the use of outdoor lighting.
B．Using clean energy to produce electricity.
C．Not using unnecessary lights at home and offices.
D．Reducing money spent on man-made light in urban areas.
【4】It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _______.
A．citizens should be forbidden to install outdoor lighting
B．only simple ways can help reduce light pollution
C．there is no clear sky or stars over the urban areas
D．light pollution needs to be dealt with urgently
29、Be a Green Kid
What does it mean to be green? “Green” is more than just a color.【1】 Every day, people make choices that affect the amount of trash and pollution produced in our world. What can we do? Here’s a four-step guide to be 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”. That means we’re a little too willing to throw away old stuff and buy some stuff. 【3】For instance, if your little brother outgrows his coat, why not give it to another family who has a little kid?
Recycle(循环再利用) it!
Recycling has never been easier. Many communities will pick those things up right in front of your house. Tell your mom and dad you want to become “Chief of Recycling” for your household.【4】Remember to put them outside the door on recycling day, and remind others which items can be recycled.
Enjoy it!
It’s true that trash and pollution are problems, but the Earth remains a huge and wonderful place for you to explore.【5】But before you travel the globe, take a look at your own backyards. Is there a spot where you could plant a tree or put in some vegetables? If so, get out there and get yourself dirty.
A．It’s also one less toy that needs to be produced.
B．Enjoy outdoor activities in all sorts of weather.
C．That means you’ll organize the recyclable items (物品) in bins.
D．It also means taking special steps to protect the environment.
E．Even if you no longer need something, someone else might need.
F．You can start by visiting the naturally beautiful spots in your city.
G．When you use less of something, you do a good thing for the Earth.
