At present, too much carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) makes the earth warmer and warmer and causes terrible effect to human beings. To save our planet and to save ourselves, a new lifestyle called low-carbon life (低碳生活) becomes popular. Low carbon means low energy and no waste. It is necessary for everybody to learn to live a low-carbon life.
To live a low-carbon life, we'd better save energy as much as possible. Turn off the lights and TV whenever they are not needed. If possible, use cold water to wash clothes or dishes. Take a short shower and try to take a cold one when the weather gets warm. Don't do the cooking with electricity.
To live a low-carbon life, we should eat less meat. Everybody knows eating too much meat makes people fat and easy to have heart disease, but maybe you don't know keeping animals for food produces even more carbon dioxide than all the cars in the world, and being a vegetarian can help reduce one and a half tons of carbon dioxide a year. Maybe it is a little difficult, but it's really necessary.
To live a low-carbon life, we are supposed to do less shopping. When we go shopping, we may drive a car or take other transportation. On the one hand, these machines pollute the air and waste energy. On the other hand, most of us always buy some useless things because of some advertisements. It is not only a waste of money but also causes trouble to the earth, because as you know, making everything will produce carbon dioxide more or less.
There are many other ways to live a low-carbon life, such as recycling things, planting trees and reusing textbooks. If we can keep it a habit in our daily life, the earth will become a safer planet for us to live on.
4. ________ makes the weather on the earth get warmer and warmer.

People in Western countries are eating less meat these days. It is not only for their health but also for protecting animals. But now they have another reason.
Eating less meat can help to prevent the change of the weather condition, according to a study published in Nature,
Raising livestock like sheep and cows is harmful to the environment. Take cows for example, when they digest (消化) food, their stomachs make greenhouse (温室) gases, which are a major cause of global warming,17% of greenhouse gas emissions (排放) come from livestock farming, The New York Times reported.
In addition, to raise these livestock, people have to cut down forests and turn them into farms. Forests play a key role in fighting global warming because they absorb (吸收) greenhouse gases.
Eating less meat according to some advice could cut global food-related emissions by nearly a third by 2050, the study found. Keeping a vegetarian diet (素食) in the long term could bring down emissions by 63%.
But eating less meat won't be easy. According to the study, people in Western countries will need to eat90% less meat than they do now in order to have an influence on the weather condition. Scientists are now trying to find new foods to take the place of meat.
Some say that insects (昆虫) could help. A 2013 UN report said that eating insects is healthier and better for the environment. They produce 75 % less greenhouse gases than livestock.
Some scientists are creating lab-grown meat. They make meat in a lab, using livestock cells (细胞). In the future, people might be able to buy this lab-grown meat.
7. According to the passage, what advantages does eating less meat bring to us
① Keeping healthy ② Protecting animals
③ Reducing waste ④ Preventing the change of the weather condition
A. ①②③ B. ①③④ C. ②③④ D. ①②④
8. How much greenhouse gas emissions come from livestock farming
A. 17%. B. 63%. C. 75%. D. 90%.
9. Which of the following is NOT TRUE
A. Not eating meat in the long term could reduce emissions by 63%.
B. Western people needn't eat less meat to influence the weather condition.
C. A report says that eating insects can be good for the environment.
D. Some scientists are using livestock cells to make meat in a lab.
10. What's the main idea of the passage
A. Why Western people eat less meat these days.
B. What people all over the world will eat in the future.
C. How eating less meat influences the environment.
D. What the main reason for global warming is.
