1、回答题：
If you are trying to do your bit for sustainability and save water by taking shorter showers, then a new report on sustainability reveals for the first time that there are more effective ways that our everyday choices can have a positive impact on the environment.
For example, the glass of juice you have for breakfast might have used the same amount of water in its production as the amount you have just saved by cutting your shower from 10 to 5 minutes. The milk on your cereal might have used even more.
Balancing Act, a world first that has been developed for the Australia economy by scientists from CSIRO (澳大利亚联邦科学月工业研究组织) and the University of Sydney, looks across 135 industry sectors of the Australian economy and quantifies the impacts and contributions across ten social, environmental, and financial indicators.
Report co-author CSIRO scientist, Barney Foran, says that sustainability for Australia is a balancing act as we try to make decisions and trade-offs in the face of often-competing economic, social and environmental attributes.
"We still need to eat and shower—and it is still worth taking shorter showers to save our stressed urban water supplies—but now consumers have a new tool to help us make more informed choices about different types of products based on a new sustainability rating," says Foran.
Different to other studies because of its detailed observation of the full production chain, this report is able to show the full effects--both direct and indirect of the production of an individual conunodity or serwce, cappuccinos( 卡布奇诺咖啡 )or haircuts. It highlights sustainability challenges for different industries and points out areas in the production chain where a focused effort would make a significant difference.
All effects are referenced back to a consumption dollar roughly the dollar spent by a consumer in everyday life. It also shows that each consumption dollar is quite different-some dollars are positive and create employment, or suck in imports or generate government revenue. Other consumption dollars are less positive through their high use of water or production of greenhouse gas emissions.
This relatively simple presentation of highly complex issues makes this a powerful tool for people who are interested in sustainability to move beyond decisions based on dollars and cents and enables them to make decisions based on a contribution to society, environment, and economy.
The new report on sustainability ________.
A．suggests that saving water by raking shorter showers is ineffective
B．provides more effective daily ways that can protect environment
C．indicates that drinking juice wastes more water than taking long shower
D．reveals that milk uses more water in its production than juice does

3、“抱抱团”(Free HuggerS)是一项公益行为艺术活动，源于国外。它通过在街头宣传，与主动上前的陌生人拥抱的形式，向社会传递“拒绝冷漠”、“互相关爱”的主题。 “抱抱团”的行为受到了众人的关注，也引起了许多的争议。有人认为，街头拥抱拉近了陌生人之间的感情；也有人认为，仅靠这种活动消除不了陌生人之间的冷漠，况且中国人比较含蓄，采取这样的形式有作秀之嫌(pub |i．c j ty stunt)。
4、在如今的信息化时代，网络团购(On | i Re group-buy i ng)作为一种新的销售方式，以其价格便宜、形式新颖灵活，深受年轻人以及时尚人士的追捧。截止到201 1年7月，全国团购网站已经超过5000家。但是。消费者在享受网络团购带来的实惠时也出现了一些问题，如假冒产品、服务缩水、价格欺诈等现象。据消费者协会调查，近期接到的有关网络团购的投诉呈上升趋势。消费者们在购物时应保持清醒的头脑。
5、每年农历的正月十五日，春节刚过，迎来的就是中国的传统节日——元宵节(Lantern Festi vaI)。按中国民间的传统，在这天皓月高悬的夜晚，人们要点起彩灯万盏，以示庆贺。民间过元宵节还有吃元宵的习俗。元宵由糯米制成，或实心，或带馅。元宵也被称作汤圆(G| utinous Rice Ba||s，or Gatheri ng Rice Ba||s)，象征全家人团团圆圆，和睦幸福，人们也以此怀念离别的亲人，寄托了对未来生活的美好愿望。
6、当今世界，信息技术革命日新月异(advance Wjth every passingday)，对国际政治、经济、文化、社会、军事等领域发展产生了深刻影响。信息化和经济全球化相互促进。互联网已经融入社会生活方方面面，深刻改变了人们的生产和生活方式。我国正处在这个大潮之中，受到的影响越来越深。因此，网络安全和信息化也成为事关国家安全和国家发展、事关广大人民群众工作生活的重大战略问题。
7、外国媒体评选出十大爱喝酒的国家，英国排在位。而中国则排在第二位。不可否认，全世界都有酒的文化。在各种社交中，饮酒往往是常见的一种方式。酒的种类有很多。白酒在我国有着非常久远的文化，也是现代人聚会餐桌上不可缺少的东西。适当的喝酒对身体有好处，但饮酒过量甚至酗酒，对身体也会造成极大的伤害。
