Remember global warming？ (记得全球变暖吗？) Back in December, the threat of climate change was thundering and the rich countries agreed to cut their carbon-dioxide and other green-house-related emissions. Since then, interest has cooled markedly, and many European countries are already running away from the promises they made so loudly a few months ago. But there has been much talk, and a bit of action, to encourage renewable energies such as wind, hydro, solar and all living organisms. These emit no greenhouse gases, but tend to cost more than coal, oil or gas.
The better, simpler idea is to remember that the easiest way to reduce something is to tax it - in this case, by taxing the carbon content power. The dirtier the power, the more tax it would pay. So dirty coal would be more expensive than clean coal, which would see its price rise in relation to oil, which would be more expensive compared with gas, which would lose some of its price advantage over renewables.
Unless a carbon tax was so huge as to be economically crippling, it would not remove the price differential between all renewables and fossil fuels. But it would narrow that gap, by fixing the differing environmental costs into the price - a useful principle in itself. It would also give renewable producers a strong incentive to cut costs, and fossil-fuel suppliers the motivation to clean their products.
Precedents suggest strongly that a carbon tax would be effective. But the disadvantage to carbon tax is political. After almost a decade of trying, the European Union gave up an attempt at a European carbon tax last year. Germany’s ruling coalition is fighting against a proposed energy tax. In America, politicians believe that even mentioning the notion is certain death. But many of the political objections could be met if a carbon tax were made up for the loss elsewhere, for example by lowering payroll or sales taxes. There is always suspicion when governments come up with clever new ways to tax, and rightly so. The response to that suspicion should be to win the argument, not to abandon it.
1.According to the passage, the easiest way to remove global warming is ___________.
A.to encourage people to use renewable energies
B.to cut down the cost of wind, hydro, solar and all living organisms
C.to force people to pay more tax for the carbon content of power
D.to talk less but act more
2.The standard of paying tax was _________.
A.that the more carbon content of power it contained, the higher tax one would pay
B.that oil would be more expensive than clean coal
C.that renewables would be most expensive of all
D.in the order that renewables are the most expensive while clean coal the cheapest
3.We can infer from the passage that carbon tax ___________.
A.may not be as effective as people expect
B.has encouraged renewable producers to cut costs
C.has reduced consumption of the carbon content energy successfully
D.couldn’t be that effective if fossil fuels would not be forbidden
4.The word “crippling”(Para. 3) most probably means _________.
A.greatly increasing
B.seriously weakening
C.sharply declining
D.abruptly halting
5.The reason why many countries stopped introducing carbon tax eventually was mainly that ___________.
A.governments had tried to put it into effect for many years but with no obvious result
B.if one country made up the loss by paying the carbon tax, other countries would follow it
C.governments were afraid of being suspected if they adopted the new tax
D.governments had been discussing what to do with carbon tax for a long time, but they hadn’t come to an agreement

听力原文： Clothes play a critical part in the conclusions we reach by providing clues to who people are, who they are not, and wilt) they would like to be. They tell us a good deal about the wearer’s background, personality, status, mood, and social outlook. Since clothes are such an important source of social information, we can use them to manipulate people’s impression of us. Our appearance assumes particular significance in the initial phases of interaction that is likely to occur. An elderly middle class man or woman may be alienated (疏远……) by a young adult who is dressed in an unconventional manner, regardless of the person’s education, background, or interests.
People tend to agree on what certain types of clothes mean. Adolescent girls can easily agree on the lifestyles of girls who wear certain outfits (套装), including the number of boyfriends they likely have had and whether they smoke or drink. Newscasters, or the announcers who read the news on TV, are considered to be more convincing, honest, and competent when they are dressed conservatively. And college students who view themselves as taking an active role in their inter-personal relationships say they are concerned about the costumes they must wear to play 'these roles successfully. Moreover, many of us can relate instances in which the clothing we wore changed the way we felt about ourselves and how we acted. Perhaps you have used clothing to gain confidence when you anticipated a stressful situation, such as a job interview, or a court appearance.
In the workplace, men have long had well defined precedents and role models for achieving success. It has been otherwise for women. A good many women in the business world are uncertain about the appropriate mixture of "masculine" and "feminine" attitutes they should convey by their professional clothing. The variety of clothing alternatives to women has also been greater than that available for men. Male administrators tend to judge women more favorably for managerial positions when the women display less "feminine grooming(打扮)—shorter hair, moderate use of make-up, and plain tailored clothing. As one male administrator confessed, "An attractive woman is definitely going to get a longer interview, but she won’t get a job."
According to the passage, the way we dress ______.
A．provides clues for people who are critical of us
B．indicates our likes and dislikes in choosing a career
C．has a direct influence on the way people regard us
D．is of particular importance when we get on in age
