28、 the mass advertising business and others who study American society have been very interested in the question: What does the American consumer like? Max Lerner, a well-known scholar who has studied American society, has said that American consumers are particularly fond of three things: comfort, cl

29、eanliness, and novelty. Lerner believes that the American love of comfort perhaps goes back to the frontier experience , where life was tough and there were very few comforts. This experience may have created a strong desire in the pioneers and their children for goods that would make life more comf

30、ortable. Today, the Americans love of comfort is seen in the way they furnish their homes, design their cars, and travel. How Americans choose a new mattress for their bed is an example of the Americans love of comfort. Many Americans will go to a store where beds are set up, and they will lie down

31、on several mattresses to see which one is the most comfortable. Cleanliness is also highly valued by Americans. There is a strong emphasis on keeping all parts of the body clean, and Americans see lots of TV commercials for soap, shampoo, deodorants, and mouthwash. Perhaps the Puritan (清教徒的 ) herita

32、ge has played some role in the desire for cleanliness. The Puritans, a strict Protestant (新教的 ) church group who were among the first settlers of America, stressed the need to cleanse the body of dirt and of all evil tendencies, such as sexual desire. The saying “Cleanliness is next to Godliness“ re

33、flects the belief of most Americans that it is important to keep not only their bodies, but also their clothes, their houses, their cars, and even their pets clean and smelling good. Indeed, many Americans are offended by anyone who does not follow their accepted standards of cleanliness. Along with

34、 cleanliness and comfort, Americans love having things that are new and different. Perhaps this love of novelty comes from their pride in their inventiveness. American have always been interested in inventing new products and improving old ones. They like to see changes in cars, clothing, and produc

35、ts for the home. Advertisements encourage people to get rid of old products and try new ones, whether the old ones still work or not. And if they cannot afford to buy something now, advertisers encourage consumers to charge it on a credit card. “Buy now pay later. “ 31 The American love of comfort o

36、riginated from_. （ A） the Americans great pride in their abundant natural resources （ B） the early settlers belief in hard work （ C） the pioneers strong desire to make life more comfortable （ D） the pioneers ignorance of frugality and conservation 32 When buying a chair, most Americans would be more

38、icans dont mind if others dont follow their standards of cleanliness. （ D） Most Americans pay much attention to keeping their body clean, but often ignore their houses, cars and pets. 34 According to the passage, Americans take pride in their_. （ A） standards of cleanliness （ B） inventiveness （ C） o

39、ld products （ D） comfortable life 35 Which of the following words is NOT appropriate to describe Americans, according to the passage? （ A） Tidy. （ B） Inventive. （ C） Conservative. （ D） Clean. 35 Britains emissions of greenhouse gases, blamed by many scientists for contributing to global warming, hav

40、e fallen by 14 percent since 1990, according to the latest government report. British lakes and rivers are also on the road to recovery from acid rain poisoning, following successful curbs to air pollution from cars and heavy industry. The report by the National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory (NAEI

41、) attributed the drop in greenhouse gas emissions to several factors including: the introduction of catalytic converters on cars, a move toward low sulphur and lead-free petrol and a switch to gas from coal and oil in power generation. Environment Minister Michael Meacher said the downward trend was

42、 welcome, but warned of complacency. “Even though these figures are encouraging, we must not be complacent There are still significant problems where we need to do more, for example, to further reduce greenhouse gases and harmful pollutants (污染物 ) such as ammonia and particulate matter,“ he said in

43、a statement. The government has a target to cut greenhouse gases by 23 percent by 2010 on 1990 levels. This is almost double the target of 12. 5 percent to which the UK is committed under the Kyoto Protocol and there are signs that emissions are rising as generators return to using coal-fired power

44、stations in the face of rising natural gas prices. The Department of Environment Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) said substantial curbs on sulphur dioxide emissions across the UK and Europe had cut acid rain by half over the last 12 years. “Damaged freshwater lakes and streams are showing signs of re

45、covery,“ it said. But DEFRA warned of a new threat: “Nitrogen oxides and ammonia are the main air pollutants that must be tackled to stop future damage. “ The bulk of Britains ammonia emissions come from farm animal manure (粪肥 ), causing over-enrichment of land and waterways, said the report. Certai

46、n species rampage unchecked through this ultra-fertile environment, smothering the slower growing plants beneath them and choking streams and rivers. Nitrogen oxides enter the atmosphere from car exhausts and industry, creating health-damaging ozone and contributing to acid rain. 36 According to the
