I dont know about you, but I find it incredibly difficult to believe that light influences the environ
36、ment as much as he says. Ive never seen any journal articles, websites or anything that verifies his argument. Its stupid. Jane: On the contrary, Ive seen a great deal of research supporting his argument from a wide range of renowned scientists. Have you looked at the recommended textbook listed on
37、the course outline given to us at the beginning of the semester? All the information is in there, perhaps youve just been looking in the wrong places. Jim: I never look at the course outlines, I have so many loose sheets of paper I tend to lose anything Im given by the end of the day. Whats the text
38、book they recommend, and where can I get it from? I should probably go buy it soon; Im already behind in the course. Jane: Yeah, you definitely should buy it, and our grades are more important this year! Its called The Influence of Light on the Environment. You should be able to find it in the books
39、hop on campus. If not, theyll order it within two weeks. In the meantime, 21you should read up on Ken Simpsons work, he argues that in order to protect natural habitats, governments should endeavor to turn off lights in cities at night. Jim: Well thats controversial; I doubt any government would be
40、willing to do that any time soon. I imagine roads would become quite dangerous without street lighting. 22For this issue, Dave Kepler suggests they could just replace the existing lights with more environmentally friendly bulbs. They could even install solar-powered lights; that way, roads will be m
41、ore eco-friendly while maintaining safety. Although I guess they wouldnt be particularly effective in colder countries, especially during the winter. Jane: Thats quite a good idea actually. The price of solar power is supposed to be on par with electricity within the next few decades, and it was on
42、the news this morning. 23Ive also heard that, according to Sharon Grey, in countries with more sunlight, insect-eating animals tend to be smaller in size. Since there are fewer insects, and the remaining insects produced a smaller number of eggs. Jim: Yeah, I think I read somewhere that sunlight als
43、o has a negative effect on the quality of water, but Im not sure I believe it. In many hot countries, particularly developing countries, there is a lot of water pollution caused by factories rather than sunlight. 24Nevertheless, Maria Jackson says that in direct sunlight, the surface of the water be
44、comes more translucent, therefore it affects the amount of sunlight that aquatic insects can absorb. Not much research has been undertaken to prove Jacksons theory, but it seems to have been widely accepted anyway. Jane: Ive never heard of that. Ill have to look it up on Google. 25The only other the
45、ory Ive studied is Barbara Swallows study on how declined insect population adversely affects the frog population. Not that Im complaining.I hate insects, especially spiders. Jim: You have arachnophobia? I never would have guessed. Didnt your brother have a pet black widow spider? Jane: Yes, he did,
46、 and I hated it. It escaped from its cage once and we never found it. I had nightmares for months. Jane: Okay, now Im getting goose bumps, lets change the subject. Whats your stance on natural and artificial light? Jim: Honestly, 26Im not sure it makes much difference which one you use; species will
47、 die out either way. I think the real argument we should consider is global warming and protection or replacement of finite fuels. Solar power provides us with an incredible opportunity to replace electricity, and governments should definitely increase spending on research in this field. 27The theor
48、ies discussed in our lectures, like Simpsons and Greys, are so vague and lack proof, so I dont understand why we even study them. Jane: I see what you mean. I dont like learning unsupported theories for exams, and Id rather spend my time learning something else. For example, 28Id be much more intere
49、sted in studying the animals in safari parks than researching migratory birds, particularly the effect of tourists on the quality of life of animals. As we know, every year thousands of visitors will drive in their own vehicles or ride in vehicles provided by the facility to observe freely roaming animals. Jim: Yeah, that would be really interesting! 29Especially those animals living in more tropical countries, like Borneo. Follow
