26、lear how complex it has become to work out international agreements relating to the environment be cause of economic concerns unique to each country. It is no longer enough to try to forbid certain activities or to reduce emissions of certain substances. The global challenge of the interlink between

27、 the environment and development increasingly bring us to the core of the economic life of states.

These reductions were made possible because substitutions had bee

28、n found for many of the harmful chemicals and, more important, because the harmful substances could be replaced without negative effects on employment and the economies of states. Although the threat of global warming has been known to the world for decades and all countries and leaders agree that w

29、e need to deal with the problem, we also know that the effects of measures, especially harsh measures taken in some countries, would be nullified (抵消 ) if other countries do not control their emissions.

31、out their energy uses. In addition, the state of world technology would not yet permit us to make such a big leap.

32、humanity. Success lies in the force of imaginations, in imaging what would happen if we fail to act.

Why Mozart, rather than Bach or the

45、Beatles? Any kind of music can have an effect on some people. But Mozart has more balance. It isnt too fast or too slow; its just right. Don Campbell, who wrote a book called The Mozart Effect, says, “Its like food A hot spicy meal will affect you differently than a sweet dessert. And while you migh
