By 2012,the world may need to cope with as many as 50 million people who have fled their homeland,not for political or economic reasons but because the environment has been so badly changed that it cannot support life. The statement has been released by the United Nations to mark UN Disaster Reduction Day.
More people are made homeless by environmental disasters than by war,according to the research by the Red Cross. That reality is proved by the earthquake in Pakistan.
The widely publicized disaster has brought aid from the global community,according to Janos Bogardi,director of the United Nations University Institute for Environment and Human Security. “If we can move swiftly in and give them a new start where they are,then they may stay in the area. Otherwise,they become environmental refugees. Environmentalrelated migrations are most acute in SubSaharan Africa,but they also affect millions of people in Asia and India. Meanwhile,the United States is witnessing increased pressure from victims of mismanaged and worsening soil and water conditions in Mexico and Latin America.” he says. Janos Bogardi says these refugees suffer from the impact of gradual environmental change—global warming,sea level rise,air and water pollution and more intense storms,floods and droughts that degrade the land. This is a slow process,but unfortunately a process that is very difficult to go backwards once final damage is done.
Janos Bogardi says they are calling on the global community to recognize the serious situation of environmental refugees and to work together to lessen the impact of environmental disaster.
【小題1】What may be the best title of the passage?
A.50 Million environmental refugees by 2010 |
B.Environmental refugees—an international problem |
C.The cause of environmental disasters |
D.Global aid pouring in |
A.constructive | B.compromising |
C.controversial | D.conservative |
A.earthquake | B.water conditions |
C.global community | D.worsening soil |
A.People all over the world have realized the impact of environmental disasters on refugees. |
B.It is time for us to take some measures to solve the problem of environmental refugees. |
C.The damaged soil can recover soon if people take care of it. |
D.It is good for people to go elsewhere to make a living. |

After moving to the United States, immigrant groups trying to fit in tend to choose high calorie fatty foods in an attempt to appear more American,a new study finds.That's one reason why immigrants approach US levels of obesity within 15 years of moving to America.
The researchers also did an experiment that measured whether or not the threat of appearing un-American influenced respondents' food choices.After being questioned about their ability to speak English,75 percent of Asian-Americans identified a typical American food as their favorite. Only 25 percent of Asian-Americans who had not been asked if they spoke English did the same.
When their American identity was called into question during a follow-up study, Asian-American participants also tended to choose typical American dishes,such as hamburgers and cheese sandwiches.In that experiment, 55 Asian-Americans were asked to choose a meal from a local Asian or American restaurant. Some participants were told that only Americans could participate in the study. Those who chose the more typical American fare ended up consuming an extra 182 calories,including 12 grams of fat and 7 grams of saturated fat(飽和脂肪).
"People who feel like they need to prove they belong to a culture will change their habits in an attempt to fit in,"said Sauna Cheryan,an author of the study and assistant professor of psychology at the University of Washington." If immigrants and their children choose unhealthy American foods over healthier traditional foods across their lives,this process of fitting in could lead to poorer health." Cheryan added.
Social pressures,the study concluded, are at the heart of the problem."In American society today, being American is associated with being white.Americans,who don't fit this image even if they were born here and speak English,feel that pressure to prove that they're American," said Cheryan.
1.The author wants to show that __________.
A. more and more Asians enjoy high-calorie snacks
B. immigrants tend to eat American junk food to fit in
C. most Americans are at the risk of heart disease
D. all the American people have a bad eating habit
2.According to the survey, __________.
A. Asian-Americans care less about their health
B. 25 percent of Americans like junk food
C. choosing food is related to Asian-Americans' situation
D. immigrants are forced to eat junk food
3.The underlined word "fare" in Paragraph 4 most probably means" __________".
A. food offered as a meal B. a person taking a taxi
C. money spent on food D. an arranged thing to do
4.According to Sauna Cheryan, __________.
A. what immigrants have done is ridiculous
B. American traditional foods are healthier
C. immigrants risk their health in order to fit in
D. American culture affects immigrants deeply
5.Which of the following should take the blame for the bad eating habit?

"Life is speeding up. Everyone is getting unwell."
This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an un-known citizen who lived in Rome in AD 52 wrote it.
We all love new invention .They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives.
But have all these developments really improve the quality of our lives?
Picture this: You're rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings, a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen, the noise from the television is get- ting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work.. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. How calm and happy do you feel?
Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed and tired .Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have not telephones, no cars, not even any electricity often seem to be happier ? Perhaps because they lead simpler lives.
One family in the UK went “back in time "to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10, and Tomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phones.
The grandmother, Lyn, said, "It was hard physically, but not mentally.” She believed life was less materialistic."The more things you have , the more difficult life becomes .”She said.The boys said they fought less to fight over, such as their computer. Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a "trendy (時(shí)髦的) , beer-drinking granny , to one who cooked things."
Here are some simple ways to beat the stress often caused by our inventions!
Don't be available all the time. Turn off your mobile phone at certain times of the day .Don't check your e-mail every day.
Don't reply to somebody as soon as they leave a text message just because you can. It may be fun at first, but it soon gets annoying.
