31、December 1997, it became abundantly clear how complex it has become to work out international agreements relating to the environment because 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 globa

32、l challenge of the interlink between the environment and development increasingly bring us to the core of the economic life of states. During the late 1980s we were able, through international agreements, to make deep cuts in emissions harmful to the ozone layer (臭氧层 ). These reductions were made po

33、ssible because substitutions had been 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 al

34、l countries and leaders agree that we 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. Whereas the UN team on climate change has found that the emis

35、sions of carbon dioxide would have to be cut globally by 60% to stabilize the content of CO2 in the atmosphere, this path is not feasible for several reasons. Such deep cuts would cause a breakdown of the world economy. Important and populous (人口众多的 ) low- or medium-income countries are not yet will

36、ing to undertake legal commitments about their energy uses. In addition, the state of world technology would not yet permit us to make such a big leap. We must, however, find a solution to the threat of global warming early in the 21st century. Such a commitment would require a degree, of shared vis

37、ion and common responsibilities new to humanity. Success lies in the force of imaginations, in imaging what would happen if we fail to act. Although many living in cold regions would welcome the global-warming effect of a warmer summer, few would cheer the arrival of the subsequent tropical diseases

38、, especially where there had been none. 31 The main purpose of this passage is to_. （ A） convince people that global warming is a real threat （ B） criticize some countries for refusing to cut down emissions harmful to the ozone layer （ C） analyze the problem of global warming （ D） argue against maki

Your doctor takes a prescription pad an

44、d writes a word on it. The word isnt “aspirin“, its “Mozart“. Many kinds of music can stir the imagination and produce strong feeling. For some people, romantic composers such as Chopin and Tchaikovsky enhance feelings of love and compassion. Religious and spiritual music can help some people feel p

45、eace or lessen their pain. But one musician seems to have a unique ability to heal the human bodyMozart. Scientists have found Mozarts music to be remarkable in its ability to calm its listeners. It can also increase their perception, and help them express themselves more clearly. Many amazing cases

46、 have been documented using Mozart as a healing aid. For example, a tiny premature baby (早产婴儿 ) named Krissy, who weighed just 1. 5 pound at birth, was on total life support. Doctors thought she had little chance of survival. Her mother insisted on playing Mozart for Krissy, and thinks it saved her

47、daughters life. Krissy lived, but she was very small for her age and slower than the average child. At the age of four, she showed an interest in music and her parents gave her violin lessons. To their astonishment, Krissy was able to play musical pieces from memory that were far beyond the ability

48、of an average four-year-old. Playing music helped her improve in all areas of her life. Other stories have emerged about the effect of Mozarts music. Officials in Washington State report that new arrivals from Asia learn English more quickly when they listen to Mozart. In Edmonton, Alberta, Canada,

49、Mozart string quartets (弦乐四重奏 ) in city squares seem to calm pedestrian traffic. Even animals and seemingly inanimate objects respond to Mozart. In France, cows serenaded (对 唱 /奏小夜曲 ) with Mozart give more milk, and in Japan, the yeast used to make sake (日本清酒 ) is ten times better when it “listens“ to Mozart. Why Mozart, rather than Bach or the Beatles? Any kind of music can have an effect on some people.
