一 1. M: Hi，Diana，mind if I sit down? W: Not at all, Jerry. How have you been? M: Good- But Im surprised see you on the city bus. Your car is in the shop? W ： No. I’ve just been thinking a lot about the environment lately. So I decided the air will be a lot cleaner if we all use public transportation when we could. M ： Im sure you are right. The diesel bus isnt exactly pollution free. W: True. Theyll be running a lot cleaner soon. M: What could the city do? Install pollution filters in all their buses? W: They could, but those filters make the engines work harder and really cut down on the fuel efficiency. Instead they found a way to make their engines more efficient. M: How? W ： Well ， there is a material thats a really good insulator. M: An insulator? W ： Yeah. What it does is reflect back the heat burning fuel, So the fuel will burn much hotter and burn up more completely. M: So a lot less unburned fuel comes out to pollute the air. W: And the bus will need less fuel ． M: Wow! Sounds great ！ M:嗨,戴安娜,介意我坐下来吗?W:没有,杰里。你怎么了?M:好的,但我很惊讶看你乘坐城市巴士。你的车在店里吗?W:没有。我最近思考了很多关于环境。所以我认为如果我们都使用公共交通工具空气会清新很多。M:我肯定你是对的。柴油公共汽车并不是完全无污染。W:是的。他们会运行很多清洁很快。M:这个城市能做什么?在所有的公共汽车安装污染过滤器吗?W:他们可以,但是这些过滤器会使发动机更加努力,减少燃料的效率。相反,他们发现了一种方法,能使发动机更有效。M:怎么了?W:好吧,有一个材料是一个很好的绝缘体。M:绝缘体吗?W: 是啊.它是反映回热燃烧的燃料，使燃料燃烧温度更高，燃烧更彻底。M: 所以少了很多未燃烧的燃料产生的空气污染。W: 而巴士将需要更少的燃料。M:哇!听起来太棒了! 2. There are two things I have always wanted to do - write and live on a farm. Today I’m doing .And after years of frustration with city and suburban living, my wife Sandy and I have finally found contentment here in the country. It‘s a self-reliant sort of life. We grow nearly all of our fruits and vegetables. Our hens keep us in eggs, with several dozen left over to sell each week. Our bees provide us with honey, and we cut enough wood to just about make it through the heating season. It’s a satisfying life too. In the summer we canoe on the river, go picnicking in the woods and take long bicycle rides. In the
