Activity 5 诵读佳句 学练写作
1.What did she aim to do by the book
By imagining a world without birds,she aimed to alert not only the scientific community but also the general public to the damaging effects of human activity on natural ecosystems—in particular,to the harmful use of pesticides, such as DDT.She believed that the chemical industry was knowingly causing harm to plants,animals and even humans,and wished to see pesticides used in a more responsible,limited and carefully monitored way.
2.Why does the author enjoy Carson’s book
She made a crucial but potentially difficult-to-understand subject interesting and accessible to millions of people.This is not so much because of the quality of her arguments,strong though they are,but because of the beauty and elegance of her writing.Her book not only changed the world;half a century later it remains a book that deserves to be reread today,so that we can once again feel ourselves warm to the fire of its passionate message.For unless we do listen to Rachel Carson’s warning,one day we may wake up to the strange and quiet horror of another silent spring.
