20、earchers like Piaget, adulthood meant the beginning of an_27_.Piaget argued that once adolescents enter the world of work, their newly acquired ability to form hypotheses allows them to create representations that are too ideal.The_28_of such ideals, without the tempering of the reality of a job or
21、profession, rapidly leads adolescents to become _29_ of the non-idealistic world and to press for reform in a characteristically adolescent way. Piaget said:“True adaptation to society comes_30_when the adolescent reformer attempts to put his ideas to work.”O(jiān)f course, youthful idealism is often cour
22、ageous, and no one likes to give up dreams.Perhaps,taken_31_out of context, Piagets statement seems harsh. What he was_32_,however, is the way reality can modify idealistic views. Some people refer to such modification as maturity. Piaget argued that attaining and accepting a vocation is one of the
23、best ways to modify idealized views and to mature.As careers and vocations become less available during times of _33_,adolescents may be especially hard hit. Such difficult economic times may leave many adolescents_34_about their roles in society. For this reason, community interventions and governm
24、ent job programs that offer summer and vacation work are not only economically_35_but also help to stimulate the adolescents sense of worth.A)automatically B)beneficial C)capturing D)confusedE)emphasizing F)entrance G)excited H)existenceI)incidentally J)intolerant K)occupation L)promisesM)recession
25、N)slightly O)undertakesSection BCan societies be rich and green?A“If our economies are to flourish,if global poverty is to be eliminated and if the well-being of the worlds people enhancednot just in this generation but in succeeding generationswe must make sure we take care of the natural environme
26、nt and resources on which our economic activity depends.”That statement comes not, as you might imagine, from a stereotypical tree-hugging, save-the-world greenie(環(huán)境保護(hù)主義者),but from Gordon Brown, a politician with a reputation for rigour, thoroughness and above all, caution.BA surprising thing for th
27、e man who runs one of the worlds most powerful economies to say? Perhaps; though in the run-up to the five-year review of the Millennium(千年旳)Goals ,he is far from alone. The roots of his speech, given in March at the roundtable meeting of environment and energy ministers from the G20 group of nation
28、s, stretch back to 1972,and the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm.C“The protection and improvement of the human environment is a major issue which affects the well-being of peoples and economic development throughout the world,”read the final declaration from this gathe
29、ring, the first of a sequence which would lead to the Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit in 1992 and the World Development Summit in Johannesburg three years ago.DHunt through the reports prepared by UN agencies and development groupsmany for conferences such as this years Millennium Goals reviewand you wi
30、ll find that the linkage between environmental protection and economic progress is a common thread.EManaging ecosystems sustainably is more profitable than exploiting them, according to the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment. But finding hard evidence to support the thesis is not so easy. Thoughts turn
31、 first to some sort of global statistic, some indicator which would rate the wealth of nations in both economic and environmental terms and show a relationship between the two.FIf such an indicator exists, it is well hidden. And on reflection, this is not surprising; the single word“environment”has
32、so many dimensions, and there are so many other factors affecting wealthsuch as the oil depositsthat teasing out a simple economy-environment relationship would be almost impossible.GThe Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, a vast four-year global study which reported its initial conclusions earlier thi
33、s year, found reasons to believe that managing ecosystems sustainablyworking with nature rather than against itmight be less profitable in the short term ,but certainly brings long-term rewards.HAnd the World Resources Institute(WRI)in its World Resources report, issued at the end of August, produce
34、d several such examples from Africa and Asia; it also demonstrated that environmental degradation affects the poor more than the rich, as poorer people derive a much higher proportion of their income directly from the natural resources around them.IBut there are also many examples of growing wealth
35、by trashing the environment, in rich and poor parts of the world alike, whether through unregulated mineral extraction, drastic water use for agriculture, slash-and-burn farming, or fossil-fuel-guzzling(大量消耗)transport. Of course, such growth may not persist in the long termwhich is what Mr. Brown an
36、d the Stockholm declaration were both attempting to point out. Perhaps the best example of boom growth and bust decline is the Grand Banks fishery. For almost five centuries a very large supply of cod(鱈魚(yú))provided abundant raw material for an industry which at its peak employed about 40,000 people, s
37、ustaining entire communities in Newfoundland. Then, abruptly, the cod population collapsed. There were no longer enough fish in the sea for the stock to maintain itself, let alone an industry .More than a decade later, there was no sign of the ecosystem re-building itself. It had, apparently, been f
38、ished out of existence ;and the once mighty Newfoundland fleet now gropes about frantically for crab on the sea floor.JThere is a view that modern humans are inevitably sowing the seed of a global Grand Banks-style disaster. The idea is that we are taking more out of what you might call the planets
39、environmental bank balance than it can sustain; we are living beyond our ecological means. One recent study attempted to calculate the extent of this“ecological overshoot of the human economy”,and found that we are using 1.2 Earths-worth of environmental goods and servicesthe implication being that
40、at some point the debt will be called in,and all those servicesthe things which the planet does for us for freewill grind to a halt.KWhether this is right, and if so where and when the ecological axe will fall, is hard to determine with any precisionwhich is why governments and financial institution
41、s are only beginning to bring such risks into their economic calculations. It is also the reason why development agencies are not united in their view of environmental issues; while some, like the WRI, maintain that environmental progress needs to go hand-in-hand with economic development, others ar
42、gue that the priority is to build a thriving economy, and then use the wealth created to tackle environmental degradation.LThis view assumes that rich societies will invest in environmental care.But is this right?Do things get better or worse as we get richer? Here the Stockholm declaration is ambig
43、uous.“In the developing countries,”it says,“most of the environmental problems are caused by under-development.”So it is saying that economic development should make for a cleaner world? Not necessarily;“In the industralised countries, environmental problems are generally related to industrialisatio
44、n and technological development,”it continues. In other words, poor and rich both over-exploit the natural world,but for different reasons. Its simply not true that economic growth will surely make our world cleaner.MClearly, richer societies are able to provide environmental improvements which lie
45、well beyond the reach of poorer communities. Citizens of wealthy nations demand national parks, clean rivers, clean air and poison-free food. They also, however, use far more natural resources-fuel, water(all those baths and golf courses)and building materials.NA case can be made that rich nations e
46、xport environmental problems, the most graphic example being climate change. As a countrys wealth grows, so do its greenhouse gas emissions. The figures available will not be completely accurate. Measuring emissions is not a precise science, particularly when it comes to issues surrounding land use;
47、 not all nations have re-leased up-to-date data, and in any case, emissions from some sectors such as aviation are not included in national statistics. But the data is exact enough for a clear trend to be easily discernible. As countries become richer, they produce more greenhouse gases; and the imp
48、act of those gases will fall primarily in poor parts of the world.OWealth is not, of course, the only factor involved. The average Norwegian is better off than the average US citizen, but contributes about half as much to climate change. But could Norway keep its standard of living and yet cut its e
49、missions to Moroccan or even Ethiopian levels? That question ,repeated across a dozen environmental issues and across our diverse planet, is what will ultimately determine whether the human race is living beyond its ecological means as it pursues economic revival.36.Examples show that both rich and
50、poor countries exploited the environment for economic progress.37.Environmental protection and improvement benefit people all over the world.38.It is not necessarily true that economic growth will make our world cleaner.39.The common theme of the UN reports is the relation between environmental prot
51、ection and economic growth.40.Development agencies disagree regarding how to tackle environment issues while ensuring economic progress.41.It is difficult to find solid evidence to prove environmental friendliness generates more profits than exploiting the natural environment.42.Sustainable manageme
52、nt of ecosystems will prove rewarding in the long run.43.A politician noted for being cautious asserts that sustainable human development depends on the natural environment.44.Poor countries will have to bear the cost for rich nations economic development.45.One recent study warns us of the danger o
53、f the exhaustion of natural resources on Earth.Section CPassage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Interactive television advertising, which allows viewers to use their remote controls to click on advertisements, has been pushed for years. Nearly a decade ago it was predicted t
54、hat viewers of “Friends”, a popular situation comedy, would soon be able to purchase a sweater like Jennifer Anistons with a few taps on their remote control.“Its been the year of interactive television advertising for the last ten or twelve years,”says Colin Dixon of a digital-media consultancy.So
55、the news that Cablevision, and American cable company, was rolling out interactive advertisements to all its customers on October 6th was greeted with some skepticism. During commercials, an overlay will appear at the bottom of the screen, prompting viewers to press a button to request a free sample
56、 or order a catalogue. Cablevision hopes to allow customers to buy things with their remote controls early next year.Television advertising could do with a boost. Spending fell by 10% in the first half of the year. The popularization of digital video recorders has caused advertisers to worry that th
57、eir commercials will be skipped. Some are turning to the Internet, which is cheaper and offers concrete measurements like click-through ratesespecially important at a time when marketing budgets are tight. With the launch of interactive advertising,“many of the dollars that went to the Internet will
58、 come back to the TV,”says David Kline of Cablevision. Or so the industry hopes.In theory, interactive advertising can engage viewers in a way that 30-second spots do not. Unilever recently ran an interactive campaign for its Axe deodorant(除臭劑),which kept viewers engaged for more than three minutes
59、on average.The amount spent on interactive advertising on television is still small. Magna, an advertising agency, reckons it will be worth about $138 million this year. That falls far short of the billions of dollars people once expected it to generate. But DirecTV, Comcast and Time Warner Cable ha
60、ve all invested in it. A new effort led by Canoe Ventures, a coalition of leading cable providers, aims to make interactive advertising available across America later this year. BrightLine iTV, Which designs and sells interactive ads, says interest has surged: it expects its revenues almost to tripl
