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 (优化) 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 (充气). 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.

『贰』 还有两个月就考六级了，怎么快速的增加词汇量啊

我同意抄楼上两位的看法，还有，我也是四级考得很少，442，不过，说实话，我不是一个勤奋的人，而且我个人认为词汇不代表全部，所以我并不提倡只背单词。其实，我们现在还处于应试教育，所以还是多做题，提高自己的猜词能力和理解能力，以及语感，才重要。而且，你应该认真地考虑一下自己到底是在哪里的得分比较少，是听力还是阅读还是作文？然后集中火力去提高自己那一方面的能力。而不是单单的背单词。
当然这只是我个人的建议，每个人的学习方法都是不一样的，适合自己的就是最好的！祝你取得好成绩！

『叁』 英语六级考试报名问题

只要还没有毕业，都可以报名英语六级口语！
考试时间分别是：5月和11月
报名时间：前一个月末至当月初

『肆』 全国大学本科生英语六级通过率是多少

六级平均通过率是15%，国内的英语考试说起来就是个体力活，你考前多做真题，一定可以通过6级的。

准备六级最好的教材莫过于真题，一定要用心做用心分析，功到自然成。首先得有自信，还有就是贵在坚持，一般来说听力是很多人的弱项，想要提高就必须得不断的练习，坚持每天听一定时间的真题听力，听透，这样就可以培养语感，听力也就变的简单了，注意听听力时尽量不要看原文翻译，如果实在某句话或者某个词听不懂的再看。再就是多读英文，听力不好根本原因在于自己读的就不对，自己读不对当然就很难听懂，所以坚持每天朗读也是很有必要的，并且在读的同时要注意纠正自己的发音。你也可以下载一些VOA听，效果不错。阅读就是要有一定的词汇量，这个就得靠自己了，词汇量不足的就加把劲多背单词短语，充实自己的词汇量，再就是要多做几遍真题，揣摩作者的出题思路，拿一个不错的分数应该难度不大。作文就好说了，背几个重点句型，写作时就往里套，再把字写干净整齐点，作文拿个一百来分不难，完形我觉得就没必要练了，这种题需要一定的英语功底，短期内很难提高，而且考四六级的时候一般也没时间做，除非你英语很不错，所以就不用管了。非常重要的一点就是平时做题时一定要按照一定的时间来做，把答题的时间控制在一定的范围内，一定要控制答题时间，考试四六级时时间是很紧的，否则就算你会做没时间也是白搭，一定要在保证答题正确率的前提下尽量提高速度。

『伍』 2011年英语四六级口语考试啥时候报名啊等得花儿都谢了~~~

已经开始报名了，我们学校刚开学时就报完了

『陆』 08年下半年英语六级考试日期是多少啊

08年12月21日下午3：00-5：20

『柒』 社会人士怎么报名英语六级考试

社会人士不可以参加英语四六级考试。准确点说，目前情况是，非在校大学生是没有资格参加大学英语四六级考试的（简称CET）。

在校学生可以报考英语四六级

社会人员考报四六级是不可以的，在为这是专门为学生们准备的考试方式，具体有：

1、在校的本科生；

2、具有同等文化程度的大专生或硕士研究生经得学校同意后也可在本学校进行报名参加考试；

3、具有同等程度的读业余大学，比如夜大或函授生也可在学校的同意在学校进行报名考试。而且四六级考试只能是在自己所在的学校报名考试，不能跨校考的。

为此，作为对我国在校大学生英语能力是否达到《教学要求》的主要鉴定手段的大学英语四、六级考试也必须相应改革，以适应新的形势，使考试更好地为贯彻《教学要求》服务。在教育部高教司的主持和领导下，大学英语四、六级考试改革组和考试委员会经过反复研讨和论证，并广泛听取了大学英语第一线教师和学生的意见，制定了《全国大学英语四、六级考试改革方案（试行）》。

大学英语四、六级考试是一种为教学服务的标准化考试。因此，考试改革的方向是在保持考试的科学性、客观性和公正性的同时，使考试最大限度地对大学英语教学产生正面的导向作用，即通过四、六级考试的改革，引导师生正确处理教学与考试的关系，更合理地使用四、六级考试，使考试更好地为教学服务。
