Seven Ways to Save the World

Forget the old idea that conserving energy is a form of self-denial—riding bicycles, dimming the lights, and taking fewer showers. These days conservation is all about efficiency: getting the same—or better—results from just a fraction of the energy. When a slump in business travel forced Ulrich Ramer to cut costs at his family—owned hotel in Germany, he replaced hundreds of the hotel』s wasteful light bulbs, getting the same light for 80 percent less power. He bought a new water boiler with a digitally controlled pump, and wrapped insulation around the pipes. Spending about ￡100,000 on these and other improvements, he slashed his ￡90,000 fuel and power bill by ￡60,000. As a bonus, the hotel』s lower energy needs have reced its annual carbon emissions by more than 200 metric tons. 「For us, saving energy has been very, very profitable,」 he says. 「And most importantly, we』re not giving up a single comfort for our guests.」

Efficiency is also a great way to lower carbon emissions and help slow global warming. But the best argument for efficiency is its cost—or, more precisely, its profitability. That』s because quickly growing energy demand requires immense investment in new supply, not to mention the drain of rising energy prices.

No wonder efficiency has moved to the top of the political agenda. On Jan. 10, the European Union unveiled a plan to cut energy use across the continent by 20 percent by 2020. Last March, China imposed a 20 percent increase in energy efficiency by 2020. Even George W. Bush, the Texas oilman, is expected to talk about energy conservation in his State of the Union speech this week.

The good news is that the world is full of proven, cheap ways to save energy. Here are the seven that could have the biggest impact.

Insulate

Space heating and cooling eats up 36 percent of all the world』s energy. There』s virtually no limit to how much of that can be saved, as prototype 「zero-energy homes」 in Switzerland and Germany have shown. There』s been a surge in new ways of keeping heat in and cold out (or vice versa). The most advanced insulation follows the law of increasing returns: if you add enough you can scale down or even eliminate heating and air-conditioning equipment, lowering costs even before you start saving on utility bills. Studies have shown that green workplaces (ones that don』t constantly need to have the heat or air-conditioner running) have higher worker proctivity and lower sick rates.

Change Bulbs

Lighting eats up 20 percent of the world』s electricity, or the equivalent of roughly 600,000 tons of coal a day. Forty percent of that powers old-fashioned incandescent light bulbs—a 19th-century technology that wastes most of the power it consumes on unwanted heat.

Compact fluorescent lamps, or CFLS, not only use 75 to 80 percent less electricity than incandescent bulbs to generate the same amount of light, but they also last 10 times longer. Phasing old bulbs out by 2030 would save the output of 650 power plants and avoid the release of 700 million tons of carbon into the atmosphere each year.

Comfort Zone

Water boilers, space heaters and air conditioners have been notoriously inefficient. The heat pump has altered that equation. It removes heat from the air outside or the ground below and uses it to supply heat to a building or its water supply. In the summer, the system can be reversed to cool buildings as well.

Most new residential buildings in Sweden are already heated with ground-source heat pumps. Such systems consume almost no conventional fuel at all. Several countries have used subsidies to jump-start the market, including Japan, where almost I million heat pumps have been installed in the past two years to heat water for showers and hot tubs.

Remake Factories

From steel mills to paper factories, instry eats up about a third of the world』s energy. The opportunities to save are vast. In Ludwigshafen, German chemicals giant BASF runs an interconnected complex of more than 200 chemical factories, where heat proced by one chemical process is used to power the next. At the Ludwigshafen site site alone, such recycling of heat and energy saves the company ￡200 million a year and almost half its CO2 emissions. Now BASF is doing the same for new plants in China. 「Optimizing (優化) energy efficiency is a decisive competitive advantage,」 says BASF CEO Jurgen Hambrecht.

Green Driving

A quarter of the world』s energy---including two thirds of the annual proction of oil—is used for transportation. Some savings come free of charge: you can boost fuel efficiency by 6 percent simply by keeping your car』s tires properly inflated (充氣). Gasoline-electric hybrid(混合型的) models like the Toyota Prius improve mileage by a further 20 percent over conventional models.

A Better Fridge

More than half of all residential power goes into running household appliances, procing a fifth of the world』s carbon emissions. And that』s true even though manufacturers have already hiked the efficiency of refrigerators and other white goods by as much as 70 percent since the 1980s. According to an International Energy Agency study, if consumers chose those models that would save them the most money over the life of the appliance, they』d cut global residential power consumption (and their utility bills) by 43 percent.

Flexible Payment

Who says you have to pay for all your conservation investments? 「Energy service contractors」 will pay for retrofitting（翻新改造）in return for a share of the client』s annual utility-bill savings. In Beijing. Shenwu Thermal Energy Technology Co. specializes in retrofitting China』s steel furnaces. Shenwu puts up the initial investment to install a heat exchanger that preheats the air going into the furnace, slashing the client』s fuel costs. Shenwu pockets a cut of those savings, so both Shenwu and the client profit.

If saving energy is so easy and profitable, why isn』t everyone doing it? It has do with psychology and a lack of information. Most of us tend to look at today』s price tag more than tomorrow』s potential saving. That holds double for the landlord or developer, who won』t actually see a penny of the savings his investment in better insulation or a better heating system might generate. In many people』s minds, conservation is still associated with self-denial. Many environmentalists still push that view.

Smart governments can help push the market in the right direction. The EU』s 1994 law on labeling was such a success that it extended the same idea to entire buildings last year. To boost the market value of efficiency, all new buildings are required to have an 「energy pass」 detailing power and heating consumption. Countries like Japan and Germany have successively tightened building codes, requiring an increase in insulation levels but leaving it up to builders to decide how to meet them.

The most powerful incentives, of course, will come from the market itself. Over the past year, sky-high fuel prices have focused minds on efficiency like never before. Ever-increasing pressure to cut costs has finally forced more companies to do some math on their energy use.

Will it be enough? With global demand and emissions rising so fast, we may not have any choice but to try. Efficient technology is here now, proven and cheap. Compared with all other options, it』s the biggest, easiest and most profitable bang for the buck.

『貳』 還有兩個月就考六級了，怎麼快速的增加詞彙量啊

我同意抄樓上兩位的看法，還有，我也是四級考得很少，442，不過，說實話，我不是一個勤奮的人，而且我個人認為詞彙不代表全部，所以我並不提倡只背單詞。其實，我們現在還處於應試教育，所以還是多做題，提高自己的猜詞能力和理解能力，以及語感，才重要。而且，你應該認真地考慮一下自己到底是在哪裡的得分比較少，是聽力還是閱讀還是作文？然後集中火力去提高自己那一方面的能力。而不是單單的背單詞。
當然這只是我個人的建議，每個人的學習方法都是不一樣的，適合自己的就是最好的！祝你取得好成績！

『叄』 英語六級考試報名問題

只要還沒有畢業，都可以報名英語六級口語！
考試時間分別是：5月和11月
報名時間：前一個月末至當月初

『肆』 全國大學本科生英語六級通過率是多少

六級平均通過率是15%，國內的英語考試說起來就是個體力活，你考前多做真題，一定可以通過6級的。

准備六級最好的教材莫過於真題，一定要用心做用心分析，功到自然成。首先得有自信，還有就是貴在堅持，一般來說聽力是很多人的弱項，想要提高就必須得不斷的練習，堅持每天聽一定時間的真題聽力，聽透，這樣就可以培養語感，聽力也就變的簡單了，注意聽聽力時盡量不要看原文翻譯，如果實在某句話或者某個詞聽不懂的再看。再就是多讀英文，聽力不好根本原因在於自己讀的就不對，自己讀不對當然就很難聽懂，所以堅持每天朗讀也是很有必要的，並且在讀的同時要注意糾正自己的發音。你也可以下載一些VOA聽，效果不錯。閱讀就是要有一定的詞彙量，這個就得靠自己了，詞彙量不足的就加把勁多背單詞短語，充實自己的詞彙量，再就是要多做幾遍真題，揣摩作者的出題思路，拿一個不錯的分數應該難度不大。作文就好說了，背幾個重點句型，寫作時就往裡套，再把字寫干凈整齊點，作文拿個一百來分不難，完形我覺得就沒必要練了，這種題需要一定的英語功底，短期內很難提高，而且考四六級的時候一般也沒時間做，除非你英語很不錯，所以就不用管了。非常重要的一點就是平時做題時一定要按照一定的時間來做，把答題的時間控制在一定的范圍內，一定要控制答題時間，考試四六級時時間是很緊的，否則就算你會做沒時間也是白搭，一定要在保證答題正確率的前提下盡量提高速度。

『柒』 社會人士怎麼報名英語六級考試

社會人士不可以參加英語四六級考試。准確點說，目前情況是，非在校大學生是沒有資格參加大學英語四六級考試的（簡稱CET）。

在校學生可以報考英語四六級

社會人員考報四六級是不可以的，在為這是專門為學生們准備的考試方式，具體有：

1、在校的本科生；

2、具有同等文化程度的大專生或碩士研究生經得學校同意後也可在本學校進行報名參加考試；

3、具有同等程度的讀業余大學，比如夜大或函授生也可在學校的同意在學校進行報名考試。而且四六級考試只能是在自己所在的學校報名考試，不能跨校考的。

為此，作為對我國在校大學生英語能力是否達到《教學要求》的主要鑒定手段的大學英語四、六級考試也必須相應改革，以適應新的形勢，使考試更好地為貫徹《教學要求》服務。在教育部高教司的主持和領導下，大學英語四、六級考試改革組和考試委員會經過反復研討和論證，並廣泛聽取了大學英語第一線教師和學生的意見，制定了《全國大學英語四、六級考試改革方案（試行）》。

大學英語四、六級考試是一種為教學服務的標准化考試。因此，考試改革的方向是在保持考試的科學性、客觀性和公正性的同時，使考試最大限度地對大學英語教學產生正面的導向作用，即通過四、六級考試的改革，引導師生正確處理教學與考試的關系，更合理地使用四、六級考試，使考試更好地為教學服務。
