              1The goal here is to limit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, which are closely associated
    to the big problem of global-warming.
         Strategy 1: Bring your own cup to Starbucks
         You’ll get a 10 cent discount, and it’s one less paper cup to end up in a landfill. While  you’re  there,
    pick up some free bags of spent coffee grounds to use as ‘‘green’’ fertilizer in your garden.
         The payoff:      2    
         Strategy2: Turn off your computer
         When in standby mode, your PC is still using energy.    3       
         The payoff: Turning off a monitor for 40 hours a week may only save $ 5 a month, but it reduces
    CO2 by 750 pounds
         Strategy 3: Reuse plastic bags
         Instead of throwing away 100 billion plastic bags a year, try and get a second, third, or tenth use out
    of them. Better yet, next time you shop, try a reusable bag.
         The payoff:     4     The amount of oil it would take to make just 14 plastic bags would run your car
    for one mile.
         Strategy4: Use recycled paper in the bathroom
         Most of the toilet paper we use is made from trees found in forests previously untouched by humans.
         The payoff: If every household replaced one roll of toilet paper with a recycled one, 424000 trees
    would still be standing. Look for eco paper towels too.
         Strategy5: Buy energy-efficient appliances（电器）Replace the old fridge with an Energy Star appliance and you’ll use 15 percent less energy.     5    
         The payoff: If we all used one Energy Star appliance at home, it would be like planting 1. 7 million
    acres of new trees.

    A. You can be proud of yourselves, even if you can only make one or two of these green changes.
    B. Adding green to your garden is beautiful and earth-pleasing.
    C. It might be a little expensive to buy, but you’ll save money on your electricity bills and help the
    environment.
    D. In fact, 75 percent of electricity used in your home comes from electronics that are turned off.
    E. You’re reducing pollution.
    F. The store won’t create more waste when they throw away a cup.
    G. Just one tree will help make cleaner air and save the environment from 5000 pounds of hot carbon
    dioxide each year.

    　　The Apprentice is a BAFTA award-winning British reality television series in which fl group of aspiring young businessmen and women compete for the chance to win a￡100,000-a-year job as“apprentice”to the British business tycoon Alan Sugar, The Baron Sugar．Winners have gone on to work at Amstrad, an electronics manufacturing company founded by Sir Alan(but since sold to BSkyB), or one of Sugar's other companies, Viglen, Amsprop or Amshold．The Apprentice, billed as a“job interview from hell”, is similar in format to the American series of the same name, which stars entrepreneur Donald Trump．

    　　With endless talk of financial crisis, redundancies(过剩)and cut-backs, it may come as no surprise that thousands of brave hopefuls applied for the show．The chosen 16 will compete in a series of business tasks and do their best to escape elimination．Not one of them wants to hear the fateful words：you're fired．

    　　It should also be noted that this year's apprentices are not going, to be allowed to forget the terrible economic climate quite so easily．At the launch of this year's TV show, Sir Alan announced that some episodes have been“specifically made towards recognition of what difficult times we are in”．

    　　What drives people to take part in the show is difficult to say．Some are clearly motivated by the promise of a six-figure salary and some claim they want the experience of working with a successful businessman such as Sir Alan．One thing is for sure．the contestants will all gain some level of celebrity．The show is a regular ratings winner．

    　　To date, there has been one big winner and that is the show's creator, Mark Burnett．Originating in the US, The Apprentice's winning format has been copied all over the world and with the hype(炒作)surrounding this latest series, it looks as though the show will have success for many years to come．

    become calm  again. "Stress"means pressure or tension. It is one of the  most common causes of health
    problems in modern life. Too much stress results in physical, emotional, and mental  health problems.
         There are numerous physical effects of stress. Stress  can affect the heart.lt can increase the pulse rate,
    make the heart miss beats, and can cause high blood pressure. Stress can affect the respiratory (呼吸)
    system. It can lead to asthma(气喘). It can cause a person to breathe too fast, resulting in a loss of
    important carbon dioxide. Stress can affect the stomach.lt can cause stomachaches and problems of
    digesting food. These are only a few examples of the wide range of illnesses and symptoms resulting from
    stress.
         Emotions are also easily affected by stress. People suffering from stress often feel anxious. They may
    have panic attacks. They may feel tired all the time. When people  are under stress, they often overreact to
    little problems. For example,a normally gentle parent under a lot of stress at  l work may yell at a child for
    dropping a glass of juice. Stress can make people angry, moody, or nervous.

    sadness and j hopelessness, can be the result of continued and increasing{ stress. Alcoholism and other
    addictions often develop as a l result of overuse of alcohol or drugs to try to relieve stress. Eating
    disorders, such as anorexia(神经性厌食),are sometimes caused by stress and often made worse by
    stress. If stress is allowed to continue, then one's mental health is put at risk.
         It is obvious that stress is a serious problem.1t attacks the body.  1t  affects the emotions. Untreated, it
