The Greenhouse Effect
The greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature that the Earth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere (water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane, for example) trap energy from the sun. Without these gases, heat would escape back into space and Earth’s average temperature would be about 60º F colder. Because of how they warm our world, these gases are referred to as greenhouse gases.
Emissions Of Greenhouse Gases
ቤተ መጻሕፍቲ ባይዱ
Before the Industrial Revolution, human activity released very few gases into the atmosphere, but now through population growth, fossil fuel burning, and deforestation, we are affecting the mixture of gases in the atmosphere.
Global Warming
(1)The rise in global temperature would also produce new patterns and extremes of drought and rainfall, seriously disrupting food production in certain regions (2) Such global warming would cause the polar ice collapse and mountain glaciers to melt rapidly and result in appreciably higher coastal waters.

Unit 22 Lesson 1 Global WarmingCan we take the heat?In the last few decades, scientists have reached consensus and reported that human beings are causing changes in the Earth's climate –something previously seen as beyond our control. They claim that in the last 50 years, gases pumped into the Earth's atmosphere by the factories and vehicles have been speeding up the process of global warming and affecting our climate. Looking ahead, scientists believe that global warming could be one of the biggest environmental problems facing the 21st century. But what exactly is global warming, why is it seen as a danger, and how is it relevant to our lives?Global warming refers to an average increase in the Earth's temperature that, in turn, leads to climate change. Scientists found that the temperature of the Earth is controlled by greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide which trap heat from the sun in the Earth's atmosphere. Without these naturally occurring gases, the sun's rays would bounce back into space leaving the Earth cold and impossible to live on. When the presence of these gases in the atmosphere increase, however, more heat is trapped and the Earth's temperature rises.Over the last 100 years, the global average temperature has increased by 1°F and many experts insist that the blame for this global warming can mostly be pinned on human activities. As a result of increased industry, agriculture, the cutting down of forests, the increase in transport and the burning of fuels, nearly 6 tonnes of carbon dioxide goes into the atmosphere every year for every one of the Earth's 6 billion people. The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has risen by more than 30% in the last 250 years with half of this increase occurring since 1960. Given this data, it seems that the link between human activities and rising global temperatures is not merely a coincidence.A temperature increase of 1ЎF may not sound like a lot, but if we continue to produce carbon dioxide and other gases in such huge quantities, we are condemning life on Earth and should expect severe consequences. Recent reports warned that global warming will cause terrible climate changes including more frequent flooding, heat waves and droughts. Serious diseases will spread and industries that rely on nature such as fishing will be badly affected. Increased temperatures will also cause the polar ice to melt, raising sea levels and flooding many islands and cities. How can we stop these disasters from happening?Governments all over the world have a responsibility to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide which their countries are producing. If less carbon dioxide goes into the atmosphere, global warming will slow down. This is no easy task, however, and some governments, for example, the USA's federal government, express reservations about whether global warming is really caused by human activities.Many people believe that they are simply not prepared to sacrifice the amount of money they make from industry to save the Earth. But why wait around for governments to take action? Experts advocate that each person play their part. They suggest making small changes like taking public transport, recycling, using low-flow shower heads, and buying light bulbs that use less energy. Even simple things like using recycled paper or switching off the lights when you leave a room can help. If we add up all these small changes made by everyone worldwide, they won't be such small changes. They could be the changes that save our future. After all, there's no substitute for our Earth. It's all we've got to live on.Unit 22 Lesson 3 Natural DisastersNature is turning on usThe last few years have seen environmental disasters on a grand scale, and experts are predicting far worse to come. Jin Li reports on our Earth's changeable weather patterns.In the last decade, thunderstorms, floods, earthquakes, typhoons, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis and forest fires have become increasingly common.There has been terrible flooding in Asia, Africa,America and Oceania. (1) __________ Storms have been getting worse everywhere too, with a growing number of hurricanes hitting the US, and Central America. Reduced rainfall has affected large areas of Africa for years leaving irrigation canals dry and many other zones are becoming drier. (2)__________ A number of nations have already been in armed conflict over water, and reduced rainfall in the west of the US has resulted in huge forest fires.Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes have always been a threat in certain parts of the world. A volcanic eruption nearly wiped out the small island of Montserrat in 1997, and there have been serious earthquakes in many parts of Asia, Europe and South America. In the last three years, Indonesia has had a rough time, suffering several killer quakes and it is still recovering from the Asian tsunami caused by an offshore earthquake on December 26th, XXXX.The tsunami killed 132,000 Indonesians and another 100,000 people of other nationalities.This catastrophe is still very fresh in the minds of people worldwide who have not yet got over their separation from loved ones lost in the tsunami.So why is nature beginning to turn on us? (3) __________ The population of the world is growing at the disturbing rate of 10,000 people an hour, nearly 90 million a year, with most of the growth in the developing world. People in agricultural areas, without any means to earn their living, move to the cities, and then construct shabby homes from whatever materials they can find on poor clay soil.These homes, seldom made of bricks, can easily fall down in earthquakes or slip and slide downhill in landslides, especially in mountainous areas. (4) __________ This has mainly been caused by the huge amounts of carbon dioxide produced by factories andvehicles, and the destruction of the world's forests. As a result, a hotter ocean causes more powerful winds. Atlantic hurricanes – their howling winds with speeds of over 300 kilometres an hour – are 40% stronger now than they were 30 years ago.Volcanoes and earthquakes are even more dangerous than in the past as around half the world's population now lives in cities.There are more than 300 active volcanoes, about fifty of which erupt each year, and more than 500 million people now live within the range of a volcanic eruption. Because these natural disasters occur at random times, it is difficult to warn people in advance. In May XXXX, thousands of Indonesians living near Mt Merapi (which means mountain of fire) had to flee as they thought it was about to erupt. An even greater number of people live at risk, to some degree, from earthquakes which have claimed more than 1.6 million lives in the last hundred years.Most disaster experts believe there is the potential that things could get a lot worse. Professor Hou Ming, of Beijing University studies volcanoes and he warns that the world has not seen the worst nature can do.The worst eruption in human history was probably Mt Tambora in 1815, in Indonesia. Dust from the volcano rolled across the Earth's skies and pretty much cancelled the following summer in Europe and America. (5) __________ “It reduced temperatures by maybe 6ЎC in some places and the whole planet was sent into winter for years. And there are about two of these events every 100,000 years ...”Unit 23 Lesson 1 Living in a CommunityDrummer hits the roadYang Ming, drummer for the rock band “Storm”, has packed his bags. He's bid his furnished apartment goodbye after complaints from his neighbours about loss of sleep. Being a bachelor, Yang Ming held parties every night but the biggest problem was his latenight drumming.Seldom has drumming caused such conflict. Yang Ming's neighbours say they were being driven mad being exposed to such noise. Had they known their neighbour was a drummer, they wouldn't have moved into the building. No sooner had they moved in than the noise began and rarely did they get a full night's sleep. Neither could they relax or read a book without plugging their ears. One neighbour also claims that Yang Ming is an alcoholic and was a bad influence on his adolescent son.In the end, the local council took action. “It was only after careful consideration that we gave Yang Ming a warning,” a council member said. “Getting enough sleep is important for people's health and after such a chorus of complaints, we had to take action.” Yang Ming's departure has pleased his neighbours. “Life will go back to normal now,” they say.For Yang Ming's version of the story, we found him in the lounge of his suite at Shanghai's Holiday Inn Hotel. Yang Ming feels that his rights have been ignored. Yang Ming hates being called an alcoholic, but it is the fact that people have classified his music as “noise” that upsets him most. Otherwise he doesn't really mind having to leave his apartment. “Living in a hotel means a maid makes my bed every day and I don't have to do my own laundry!” But how long will the hotel tolerate him? We wonder.Grandpa jailed after one shower too manyEighty-year-old retired tailor, James McKay, spent Saturday night in jail after hitting thirty-year-old Keith Smith over the head with his walking stick. McKay's wife, Laurene told us that while McKay is usually a peaceful person, he had been driven to this act of violence by getting wet just once too often.Smith lives above the McKays and it appears that not only is he a keen gardener, he is also a fish collector. Unfortunately for him, the water he sent over his balcony every day ended up on the McKay's, or too often, on the McKays themselves.“For the last fortnight, since Smith moved into the flat above us, we have hardly dared go onto our balcony,” said Laurene. She added that it wasn't so much the water falling onto their balcony from Smith watering his plants that bothered them, it was more the way he cleaned his fish tanks. “We'd be sitting there happily reading our newspapers, when suddenly so much water would come from above that we'd be as wet as if we'd showered with our clothes on! Neither could we get rid of the smell of fish!”And on Saturday evening it was just too much. “It was James' birthday,” explained Laurene, “and I'd made him a birthday cake. The candles were a great sight as you can imagine, but James didn't get to blow them out.” Instead, Smith emptied one of his larger tanks over his balcony and both the McKays and the cake were wet through. Rarely had Laurene seen McKay move so fast. “I couldn't stop him. He was up there in a flash. It was the fastest I'd seen him move since 1964.”Smith is not going to take things further with the police. He has also promised to change his ways from now on. And what of James McKay? As he left the police station a large crowd of supporters sang him, “Happy Birthday”. “Definitely the most exciting birthday ever!” said the cheerful old man. “The best since my adolescence I'd say!”Unit 23 Lesson 3 War MemoriesDo Chuc is a forty-eight-year-old Vietnamese farmer whose two daughters and an aunt were killed by American soldiers in My Lai that day. He and his family were eating breakfast when the American soldiers entered the village and ordered them from their homes. Together with other villagers they were marched a few hundred metres into the village square where they were told to sit. “Still we had no reason to be afraid,” Chuc remembers. “Everyone was calm. We'd seen it all before.” Then, in surprise he watched as the soldiers set up a machine gun. The calm ended. The people began weeping and begging. One man showed his identification papers to a soldier, but the American simply said, “Sorry.” Then the shooting started. Chuc was wounded in the leg and almost unconscious, but he was covered by a pile of dead bodies and thus saved. After waiting an hour, he fled the village.(Adapted from My Lai by Seymour Hersh)We were on the frontier and on Christmas morning we stuck up a board with “A Merry Christmas” on it. (1) The enemy had stuck up a similar one. Two of our men then threw their equipment off and climbed out of the trench with their hands above their heads as our representatives. Two of the Germans did the same. They greeted each other and shook hands. (2) Then we all got out of the trench. Bill (our officer) tried to prevent it but it was too late so he and the other officers climbed out too. We and the Germans walked through the mud and met in the middle ofno-man's-land.We spent all day with one another. Some of them could speak English. By the look of them, their trenches were in as bad a state as our own. One of their men, speaking in English, remarked that he had worked in England for some years and that he was fed up to the neck with this war and would be glad when it was over. (3) We told him he wasn’t the only one who was fed up with it. The German officer asked Bill if we would like a couple of barrels of beer and they brought them over to us. Bill distributed the beer among us and we consumed the lot. The officers came to an understanding that we would celebrate Christmas in peace until midnight.(4) Just before midnight we all decided not to start firing before they did. We'd formed a bond and during the whole of Boxing Day we never fired a shot and they the same; each side seemed to be waiting for the other to set the ball rolling. One of their men shouted across in English and asked how we had enjoyed the beer. We replied that we were very grateful and spent the whole day chatting with them. That evening we were replaced by other soldiers.(Adapted from Old Soldiers Never Die by Frank Richards)I got a phone call from the chief nurse, saying, “You've got a patient there that is going to get an award. Make sure that the ward looks good.”This really turned me off to begin with: “Let's clean up the ward because we've got VIPs coming in.”Well, the VIPs happened to be a general and a group of about twelve people.This patient still had fresh scars from his first visit to us and this time he'd had both his legs blown off –he was all of about twenty years old.When he was waking up after the surgeon had finished putting bandages on what was left of his legs, he whispered: “Don't you remember me, ma'am?” I said, “Oh yeah!” But really I didn't because there were so many of them.The general was coming to give him the award because he happened to be number twenty thousand to come through this hospital.They had this little ceremony, saluted him, and then gave him a Purple Heart and a watch. As the general handed him the watch, “from the army, to show our appreciation,” the kid more or less threw the watch back at him. He said something like, “I can't accept this, sir; it's not going to help me walk.” After this little incident, I went over and took him in my arms. If I remember correctly, I started sobbing and I think he was crying too. I really admired him for that. I swear that it was the only time I let somebody see what I felt. It took a lot for him to do that, and it sort of said what this war was all about to me.(Adapted from A Piece of My Heart by Keith Walker)ME AND AN ACQUAINTANCE WERE WALKING behind an English pub once, going back to our base, and we saw one of our planes come over heading westwards for an American base just across the valley. One of its engines was on fire and we saw it hit the ground. We didn't know if it still had its bombs aboard or if it was coming back from Germany, so we didn't dare go near it. I tried to phone the American base, but I couldn't get through. The line just didn't work. A handful of fire fighters came, but nobody dared to go near the plane because it was on fire and we couldn't find out if it still had its bombs and tanks full of petrol. We were scared the whole thing would go up like fireworks and take us with it. The crew couldn't get out and we could hear the men screaming and shouting and there was nothing we could do because of the bombs. They died, five of them. Then we found out later they had just been out for a training session.(Adapted from Six War Years by Barry Broadfoot)Unit 24 Lesson 1 Consumer SocietySpend, Spend, SpendMany of us in developed societies are trapped in a spending circle. We work hard so that we can earn more money. When we have more money, we spend more and because we spend more, we have to work even harder. Sometimes we try to deposit a little or change our money into different countries' currencies in the hope that we can make even more money. But strangely enough, the more money we earn, the less often we see it. Instead, we start putting our signatures on credit cards and spending money we don't even have. Besides, we're all taxpayers so the more we earn the more tax we have to pay to those who govern us. Thus, the circle goes round and round and gets more and more complicated.In this spending circle, on the one hand, we accumulate possessions but never feel like we have enough. On the other hand, we work towards the ownership of bigger and better houses and cars and never have time to enjoy them. Instead, they feel like a burden because every month we have to hand over most of the money we earn to pay for them. And the result of all this? Not increased happiness, but stress and less free time to be ourselves and enjoy being with our friends and families.Surely we're still better off than those who wear rags and sleep on the streets or in vacant buildings, but there is a growing resistance to this consumer society which is especially affecting the youth of today with their computers, i-pods, designer clothes and mobile phones. Protest groups are insisting that some of our money be given to the third world. Trade unions demand that the government shorten the working week. They are also suggesting that people should share work and thus reduce unemployment. If laws such as these came into being, a huge adjustment would be required and there would certainly be diverse reactions. But many feel it would be worth it.As a society, it's high time that we took these issues more seriously.We should insist that advertising is more controlled, especially advertising aimed at children.We should also make sure that there are better ways for young people to use their free time apart from spending money. On a personal level, we ought to visit the shops less and worry less about image. Above all, we should remember that “being” and “doing” are much more important than “having”.Unit 24 Lesson 3 A Changing WorldA Every year thousands of tourists flock to China with the latest edition of China's “Lonely Planet” guidebook in their hands. They come to see the grand sights of the Great Wall and the Forbidden City but often it is the hutongs that leave the strongest impression, as they offer travellers a rare view into China's past. Hutongs – the many little alleys that connect the rectangular courtyards of traditional houses –are a feature of ancient Chinese architecture and are still found in the old quarters of a few Chinese cities. Beijing's hutongs are particularly famous, however, as there are thousands of them. Nowadays, the word “hutong” has come to mean more than just the alleys that connect thecourtyards. It also refers to the courtyards themselves and even to the communities that live there.B The majority of Beijing's hutongs were built between the 13th and 19th centuries during the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. To help them keep control over the city, the Emperors during these periods arranged different areas of Beijing in neat blocks of houses built around courtyards. They were then able to place guards at the entrances of the various hutongs, which made it easier to keep an eye on people's movements. The Emperor's home, the Forbidden City, was in the centre of Beijing and the homes of the nobles and wealthy citizens were in the hutongs closest to the royal palace. Ordinary citizens lived in the hutongs further away from the palace.C By connecting people's homes, the hutongs in fact connected people's lives, whether the lives of the rich or the lives of the ordinary citizens. Because the houses were built facing each other around courtyards, the families who lived there were an important part of each other's lives. They supported each other when help was needed and shared the joy and sadness of everyday life, no doubt sharing recipes, borrowing mops, and burning fragrant incense together. The children played in the courtyards and because of the hutongs, courtyards were joined together for miles around creating a network of people working, playing and living together – a real community.D Towards the end of the Qing Dynasty, the conditions in Beijing's hutongs went down as the political situation cast a dark cloud on China's economy. Many new hutongs were quickly built to house the increasing population but these were poorly made. The turning point came when the People's Republic of China was set up. Conditions improved a great deal and the government undertook the preservation of many of the oldest hutongs.E Hutongs are still an important part of Beijing life and it is not surprising that tourists love the hutongs. They can walk up Sanmiao Street, which dates back 900 years, wander down Rongxian – the longest hutong at 2 km or squeeze through Qianshi – the narrowest at only 40 cm wide! They can also stop under a stone arch and watch the hutong world go by while enjoying a plate of Beijing's best “Peking Duck” or satisfying their thirst with a cold Tsingtao beer. The hutongs not only link Beijing's streets and communities after all, but also its past and present, showing that Beijing is truly an ancient yet modern city.11。

One neighbour also claims that Yang Ming is an alcoholic and was a bad influence on his adolescent son.In the end, the local council took action. “It was only after careful consideration that we gave Yang Ming a warning,”a council member said. “Getting enough sleep is important for people's health and after such a chorus of complaints, we had to take action.”Yang Ming's departure has pleased his neighbours. “Life will go back to normal now,”they say.For Yang Ming's version of the story, we found him in the lounge of his suite at Shanghai's Holiday Inn Hotel. Yang Ming feels that his rights have been ignored. Yang Ming hates being called an alcoholic, but it is the fact that people have classified his music as “noise”that upsets him most. Otherwise he doesn't really mind having to leave his apartment. “Living in a hotel means a maid makes my bed every day and I don't have to do my own laundry!”But how long will the hotel tolerate him We wonder.Grandpa jailed after one shower too manyEighty-year-old retired tailor, James McKay, spent Saturday night in jail after hitting thirty-year-old Keith Smith over the head with his walking stick. McKay's wife, Laurene told us that while McKay is usually a peaceful person, he had been driven to this act of violence by getting wet just once too often.Smith lives above the McKays and it appears that not only is he a keen gardener, he is also a fish collector. Unfortunately for him, the water he sent over his balcony every day ended up on the McKay's, or too often, on the McKays themselves.“For the last fortnight, since Smith moved into the flat above us, we have hardly dared go onto our balcony,”said Laurene. She added that it wasn't so muchthe water falling onto their balcony from Smith watering his plants that bothered them, it was more the way he cleaned his fish tanks. “We'd be sitting there happily reading our newspapers, when suddenly so much water would come from above that we'd be as wet as if we'd showered with our clothes on! Neither could we get rid of the smell of fish!”And on Saturday evening it was just too much. “It was James' birthday,”explained Laurene, “and I'd made him a birthday cake. The candles were a great sight as you can imagine, but James didn't get to blow them out.”Instead, Smith emptied one of his larger tanks over his balcony and both the McKays and the cake were wet through. Rarely had Laurene seen McKay move so fast. “I couldn't stop him. He was up there in a flash. It was the fastest I'd seen him move since 1964.”Smith is not going to take things further with the police. He has also promised to change his ways from now on. And what of James McKay As he left the police station a large crowd of supporters sang him, “Happy Birthday”. “Definitely the most exciting birthday ever!”said the cheerful old man. “The best since my adolescence I'd say!”Unit 23 Lesson 3 War MemoriesDo Chuc is a forty-eight-year-old Vietnamese farmer whose two daughters and an aunt were killed by American soldiers in My Lai that day. He and his family were eating breakfast when the American soldiers entered the village and ordered them from their homes. Together with other villagers they were marched a few hundred metres into the village square where they were told to sit. “Still we had no reason to be afraid,”Chuc remembers. “Everyone was calm. We'd seen it all before.”Then, in surprise he watched as the soldiers set up a machine gun. The calm ended. The people began weeping and begging. One man showed his identification papers to a soldier, but the American simply said, “Sorry.”Then the shooting started. Chuc was wounded in the leg and almost unconscious, but he was covered by a pile of dead bodies and thus saved. After waiting an hour, he fled the village.(Adapted from My Lai by Seymour Hersh)We were on the frontier and on Christmas morning we stuck up a board with “A Merry Christmas”on it. (1) The enemy had stuck up a similar one. Two of our men then threw their equipment off and climbed out of the trench with their hands above their heads as our representatives. Two of the Germans did the same. They greeted each other and shook hands. (2) Then we all got out of the trench. Bill (our officer) tried to prevent it but it was too late so he and the other officers climbed out too. We and the Germans walked through the mud and met in the middle ofno-man's-land.We spent all day with one another. Some of them could speak English. By the look of them, their trenches were in as bad a state as our own. One of their men, speaking in English, remarked that he had worked in England for some years and that he was fed up to the neck with this war and would be glad when it was over. (3) We told him he wasn’t the only one who was fed up with it. The German officer asked Bill if we would like a couple of barrels of beer and they brought them over to us. Bill distributed the beer among us and we consumed the lot. The officers came to an understanding that we would celebrate Christmas in peace until midnight.(4) Just before midnight we all decided not to start firing before they did. We'd formed a bond and during the whole of Boxing Day we never fired a shot and they the same; each side seemed to be waiting for the other to set the ball rolling. One of their men shouted across in English and asked how we had enjoyed the beer. We replied that we were very grateful and spent the whole day chatting with them. That evening we were replaced by other soldiers.(Adapted from Old Soldiers Never Die by Frank Richards)I got a phone call from the chief nurse, saying, “You've got a patient there that is going to get an award. Make sure that the ward looks good.”This really turned me off to begin with: “Let's clean up the ward because we've got VIPs coming in.”Well, the VIPs happened to be a general and a group of about twelve patient still had fresh scars from his first visit to us and this time he'd had both his legs blown off –he was all of about twenty years he was waking up after the surgeon had finished putting bandages on what was left of his legs, he whispered: “Don't you remember me, ma'am”I said, “Oh yeah!”But really I didn't because there were so many of general was coming to give him the award because he happened to be number twenty thousand to come through this had this little ceremony, saluted him, and then gave him a Purple Heart and a watch. As the general handed him the watch, “from the army, to show our appreciation,”the kid more or less threw the watch back at him. He said something like, “I can't accept this, sir; it's not going to help me walk.”After this little incident, I went over and took him in my arms. If I remember correctly, I started sobbing and I think he was crying too. I really admired him for that. I swear that it was the only time I let somebody see what I felt. It took a lot for him to do that, and it sort of said what this war was all about to me.(Adapted from A Piece of My Heart by Keith Walker)?ME AND AN ACQUAINTANCE WERE WALKING behind an English pub once, going back to our base, and we saw one of our planes come over heading westwards for an American base just across the valley. One of its engines was on fire and we saw it hit the ground. We didn't know if it still had its bombs aboard or if it was coming back from Germany, so we didn't dare go near it. I tried to phone the American base, but I couldn't get through. The line just didn't work. A handful of fire fighters came, but nobody dared to go near the plane because it was on fire and we couldn't find out if it still had its bombs and tanks full of petrol. We were scared the whole thing would go up like fireworks and take us with it. The crew couldn't get out and we could hear the men screaming and shouting and there was nothing we could do because of the bombs. They died, five of them. Then we found out later they had just been out for a training session.(Adapted from Six War Years by Barry Broadfoot)Unit 24 Lesson 1 Consumer SocietySpend, Spend, SpendMany of us in developed societies are trapped in a spending circle. We work hard so that we can earn more money. When we have more money, we spend more and because we spend more, we have to work even harder. Sometimes we try to deposit a little or change our money into different countries' currencies in the hope that we can make even more money. But strangely enough, the more money we earn, the less often we see it. Instead, we start putting our signatures on credit cards and spending money we don't even have. Besides, we're all taxpayers so the more we earn the more tax we have to pay to those who govern us. Thus, the circle goes round and round and gets more and more complicated.In this spending circle, on the one hand, we accumulate possessions but never feel like we have enough. On the other hand, we work towards the ownership of bigger and better houses and cars and never have time to enjoy them. Instead, they feel like a burden because every month we have to hand over most of the money we earn to pay for them. And the result of all this Not increased happiness, but stress and less free time to be ourselves and enjoy being with our friends and families.Surely we're still better off than those who wear rags and sleep on the streets or in vacant buildings, but there is a growing resistance to this consumer society which is especially affecting the youth of today with their computers, i-pods, designer clothes and mobile phones. Protest groups are insisting that some of our money be given to the third world. Trade unions demand that the government shorten the working week. They are also suggesting that people should share work and thus reduce unemployment. If laws such as these came into being, a huge adjustment would be required and there would certainly be diverse reactions. But many feel it would be worth it.As a society, it's high time that we took these issues more should insist that advertising is more controlled, especially advertising aimed at should also make sure that there are better ways for young people to use their free time apart from spending money. On a personal level, we ought to visit the shops less and worry less about image. Above all, we should remember that “being”and “doing”are much more important than “having”.Unit 24 Lesson 3 A Changing WorldA Every year thousands of tourists flock to China with the latest edition of China's “Lonely Planet”guidebook in their hands. They come to see the grand sights of the Great Wall and the Forbidden City but often it is the hutongs that leave the strongest impression, as they offer travellers a rare view into China's past. Hutongs –the many little alleys that connect the rectangular courtyards of traditional houses –are a feature of ancient Chinese architecture and are still found in the old quarters of a few Chinese cities. Beijing's hutongs are particularly famous, however, as there are thousands of them. Nowadays, the word “hutong”has come to mean more than just the alleys that connect the courtyards. It also refers to the courtyards themselves and even to the communities that live there.B The majority of Beijing's hutongs were built between the 13th and 19th centuries during the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. To help them keep control over the city, the Emperors during these periods arranged different areas of Beijing in neat blocks of houses built around courtyards. They were then able to place guards at the entrances of the various hutongs, which made it easier to keep an eye on people's movements. The Emperor's home, the Forbidden City, was in the centre of Beijing and the homes of the nobles and wealthy citizens were in the hutongs closest to the royal palace. Ordinary citizens lived in the hutongs further away from the palace.C By connecting people's homes, the hutongs in fact connected people's lives, whether the lives of the rich or the lives of the ordinary citizens. Because the houses were built facing each other around courtyards, the families who lived there were an important part of each other's lives. They supported each other when help was needed and shared the joy and sadness of everyday life, no doubt sharing recipes, borrowing mops, and burning fragrant incense together. The children played in the courtyards and because of the hutongs, courtyards were joined together for miles around creating a network of people working, playing and living together –a real community.D Towards the end of the Qing Dynasty, the conditions in Beijing's hutongs went down as the political situation cast a dark cloud on China's economy. Many new hutongs were quickly built to house the increasing population but these were poorly made. The turning point came when the People's Republic of China was set up. Conditions improved a great deal and the government undertook the preservation of many of the oldest hutongs.E Hutongs are still an important part of Beijing life and it is not surprising that tourists love the hutongs. They can walk up Sanmiao Street, which dates back 900 years, wander down Rongxian –the longest hutong at 2 km or squeeze through Qianshi –thenarrowest at only 40 cm wide! They can also stop under a stone arch and watch the hutong world go by while enjoying a plate of Beijing's best “Peking Duck”or satisfying their thirst with a cold Tsingtao beer. The hutongs not only link Beijing's streets and communities after all, but also its past and present, showing that Beijing is truly an ancient yet modern city.。
