Talk with your family and friends about global warming and tell them what you have learned.6. 最后，也是最重要的是，做一個(gè)教育者。4 Get your parents to buy things that are economical with energy this includes cars as well as smaller things like fridges and microwaves.4. 勸你的父母去買那些節(jié)約能源的產(chǎn)品，包括汽車和像冰箱、微波爐之類的小件物品。3 Recycle cans, bottles, plastic bags and newspapers if circumstances allow you to. It takes a lot of energy to make things from new materials, so, if you can, buy things made from recycled materials.3. 把罐頭盒、瓶子、塑料袋和報(bào)紙回收利用起來。2 Motor vehicles use a lot of energy so walk or ride a bike if you can.2. 機(jī)動(dòng)車要用大量的能源。1 We use a lot of energy in our houses. It is OK to leave an electrical appliance on so long as you are using it if not, turn it off! Do not be casual about this. So if you are not using the lights, the TV, the puter, and so on, turn them off. If you are cold, put on more clothes instead of turning up the heat.1. 在室內(nèi)我們會(huì)用大量的能源。Here are a few suggestions on how to reduce it. 這兒有幾條關(guān)于減少空氣中二氧化碳含量的建議。 We do not have to put up with 。That is not true. 這種想法是不正確的。I would appreciate any suggestions you may have. 我希望能得到你們的建議。As I39。 Sometimes I feel that individuals can have little effect on such huge environmental problems. 有時(shí)候我覺得，像這樣一個(gè)巨大的環(huán)境問題，個(gè)人是起不了什么作用的。 No one knows the effects of global warming. 沒有人知道全球變暖帶來什么樣的影響?！? Greenhouse gases continue to build up in the atmosphere. 溫室氣體繼續(xù)在大氣層中聚集。 crops will produce more。 They predict that any warming will be mild with few bad environmental consequences. 他們預(yù)言說，變暖的情況不會(huì)很嚴(yán)重，對(duì)環(huán)境的影響也不會(huì)太壞。 On the other hand, there are those, like George Hambley, who are opposed to this view, believe that we should not worry about high levels of carbon dioxide in the air. 在另一方面，還有一些人，像科學(xué)家喬治t predict the climate well enough to know what to expect, but it could be very serious. 她說：“對(duì)于未來的氣候，我們不可能做出精確的預(yù)測(cè)，但是那時(shí)的天氣可能是很糟糕的。 However, the attitude of scientists towards this rise is pletely different. 然而，科學(xué)家們?cè)趯?duì)待升溫的態(tài)度上卻是大不相同的。They also agree that it is the burning of more and more fossil fuels that has resulted in this increase in carbon dioxide. 他們還贊同下述觀點(diǎn)，正是由于越來越多燃燒化石燃料導(dǎo)致了二氧化碳的增加。 He found that between these years the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere went up from around 315 parts to around 370 parts per million(see Graph 2).他發(fā)現(xiàn)，在這些年里，大氣層中的二氧化碳含量從315/1000 000上升到370/1000 000。 It was a scientist called Charles Keeling, who made accurate measurements of the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from 1957 to 1997. 有一位名叫查爾斯It means that more heat energy tends to be trapped in the atmosphere causing the global temperature to go up.這意味著更多的熱量被困在大氣層中，從而引起全球溫度上升。So, we need those gases. The problem begins when we add huge quantities of extra carbon dioxide into the ，我們需要這些氣體。greenhouse effect39。This is when small amounts of gases in the atmosphere, like carbon dioxide, methane and water vapour, trap heat from the sun and therefore warm the （如二氧化碳、甲烷、水蒸氣等）吸收太陽的熱量，因而使地球變暖的時(shí)候。.賈尼絲Dr Janice Foster explains: There is a natural phenomenon that scientists call the 39。s temperature is due to the burning of fossil fuels like coal, natural gas and oil to produce ：人們?yōu)榱松a(chǎn)能量而燃燒化石燃料（如煤、天然氣和石油等），從而引起了地球溫度的升高。 There is no doubt that the earth is being warmer (see Graph 1) and that it is human activity that has caused this global warming rather than a random but natural ，地球是在變暖（見表一，略），而地球變暖正是人類活動(dòng)導(dǎo)致而成的，并非是一種無規(guī)律的自然現(xiàn)象。So how has this e about and does it matter?那么，這種溫度的增長(zhǎng)是怎么產(chǎn)生的呢？會(huì)產(chǎn)生什么影響呢？Earth Care’s Sophie Armstrong explores these questions. “關(guān)愛地球”組織的索菲 THE EARTH IS BECOMING WARMERBUT DOES IT MATTER?全球在變暖——這會(huì)帶來什么影響嗎？ During the 20th century the temperature of the earth rose about one degree ，地球溫度大約升了華氏1度。錯(cuò)了。許多人擔(dān)心他們會(huì)從病毒攜帶者那兒染上HIV病毒，感染上艾滋病。你只可能通過血液或性交時(shí)的體液傳染上這種病。If you hug, touch or kiss someone with AIDS or visit them in their home, you will get HIV/. You can only get the disease from blood or sexual fluid. Unfortunately, people with HIV sometimes lose their friends because of prejudice. Many people are afraid that they will get HIV/AIDS from those infected with HIV!AIDS. For the same reason, some AIDS patients cannot find anyone to look after them when they are sick.如果你同艾滋病患者擁抱、接觸或者親吻，或者去他們家做客，你就會(huì)從他們那里感染上HIV病毒或得艾滋病。女性感染病毒的可能性比男性稍微大一些。錯(cuò)了。許多HIV病毒攜帶者看上去十分健康。You can tell by looking at someone whether or not they have . Many people carrying HIV look perfectly healthy. It is only when the disease has progressed to AIDS that a person begins to look sick.通過觀察你可以看出某人是否帶有HIV病毒。如果性交的某一方有了HIV病毒，另一方就有可能傳染上。A person cannot get HIV the first time they have sex. WRONG. If one sexual partner has HIV, the other partner could bee infected.初次性交的人不可能染上HIV病毒。它可以防止性交時(shí)產(chǎn)生的體液的傳入。If you have sex with a male or a female: 假如你同（男或女）人性交： Do not share your needle with anyone ， Blood from another person can stay on or in the needle. 別人的血液可能會(huì)留在針頭內(nèi)外。Until that happens, you need to protect yourself. 在找到之前，你必須保護(hù)你自己。 For a person to bee infected, blood or sexual fluid that carries the virus, has to get inside the body through broken skin or by injection. 攜帶病毒的血液或體液必須通過皮膚上的創(chuàng)口或通過注射才能進(jìn)入人體，使人受感染。 This stage of the illness is called AIDS. 這種疾病到了這個(gè)階段就叫艾滋病， If you develop AIDS, your chances of survival are very ，生存的幾率就很小。 that is, the part of the body that fights disease. HIV病毒破壞人體的免疫系統(tǒng)，也就是說使人體抗衡疾病的免疫功能減弱。 HIV weakens a person39。A virus is a very small living thing that causes disease. 病毒是引發(fā)疾病的微生物。最終你是會(huì)成功的。If you weaken and have a cigarette, do not feel ashamed. 如果你因意志衰弱而又抽煙了，也不要覺得難為情。Keep 。 If you feel desperate, you might like to talk to a doctor or chemist about something to help you, like nicotine chewing ，你還可以找一個(gè)醫(yī)生或藥劑師來談?wù)?，幫你想點(diǎn)辦法，如含尼古丁的口香糖等。Arrange to stop smoking w
