You may have known several kinds of police --- traffic police, fire police and street police. But have you ever heard of energy-saving(節(jié)能) policeman?

A group of 22 energy-saving policemen went to work last week in Beijing. They go around the city to see the use of energy in hotels, office buildings, shopping centers and other public places. One of their aims is to make sure that these places have set their air conditioning(空調(diào)) no cooler than 26℃.

They also set up a special phone line so that people can tell them which buildings fail to follow the rule.

“If everyone sets their air conditioning at 26℃, Beijing will save 400 million kilowatthour of electricity in one summer. That’s one-third of all the usages of the city in the season,” said a TV advertisement.

Other Chinese cities, like Wuhan in Hubei Province and Yangzhou in Jiansu Province, are going to follow Beijing’s steps in setting up a similar police team.

As one of the fastest developing countries, China is using a lot of energy. This has a great effect on the country’s environment and limited(有限的) energy.

From 1986 to 2005, the country experienced 20 warm winters continuously(連續(xù)). Numbers show that Chinese cities have to spend billions of yuan solving environmental problems every year.

At the beginning of this month, China made its first action plan to fight pollution. It aims to reduce energy usage by 20% and increase renewable(可更新的) energy up to 10% from 7% by 2010.

To introduce the public to a green life, last week Beijing held a show on energy-saving technology and productions. Environment-friendly machines, such as a vending machine that helps collect used bottles, have attracted lots of attention. “We want to tell people that there are certain ways to protect the environment. Each of us can find effective ways to do it on our daily lives,” said Liu Qianguang, an environmental engineer in Beijing.

1.The job of the energy-saving policemen is ______.

   A. to set up a special phone line              

B. to set the air conditioning cooler

   C. to check the use of energy in public places 

D. to make sure that more energy will be produced

2.Beijing uses ______ million kilowatt-hour electricity in summer.

   A. 1200.         B. 800.            C. 400.              D. 133.

3.Which of the following years’ winters were all warm in China?

   A. 1968—1988.   B. 1999—2003.     C. 2002—2006.        D. 2005—2009.

4.In the year 2010 China’s energy usages is going to be cut by ______.

   A. 7%.             B. 10%.              C. 17%.              D. 20%.

5.According to Liu Qianguang, ______.

   A. there are few ways to protect the environment

   B. it’s difficult to find good ways to save energy

   C. it’s easy for one to do something good for the environment

   D. it’s difficult for one to do something good for the environment

  You wouldn't steal a car.You would never rob(搶劫)a bank or pick someone's pocket.But you may be another kind of thief.

  If you have ever bought a disc for 15 yuan or less, then you have helped to rob artists or musicians of their intellectual properly rights(知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)).

  Last Thursday was World Intellectual Property Day.Activities to tell people about intellectual property rights were held around the country.

  Intellectual property includes inventions, literary(文學(xué)的)and artistic works, names, and pictures.They are of little value(價(jià)值)if they are not read, seen and used.

  While the cost of copying discs is very small, authors, singers and actors have to spend a lot of money and time making a new product.That's why they have the right to make money from their work.

  So buying pirated(盜版的)music of Jay Chou and Jolin Tsai is like stealing from them, paying them no respect for their hard work.

  If Jay Chou cannot make money from his work, he may not make anything else.But those who make pirated goods are becoming rich without doing any hard work.

  The authors should ask for a fair price for their work.Earlier this year there was much talk about how much KTV clubs should pay the music companies for using their songs.

  The copyright fee(版權(quán)費(fèi))also should be fair to the users.That's good for the music's popularity and society as well.
