This suggests that politicians who claim environ mentalism is yesterdays issue may be seriousl

3、y misjudging the public mood. A report from Mintel, the market research organization, says that despite recession and financial pressures, more people than ever want to buy environmentally friendly products and a “green wave“ has swept through consumerism, taking in people previously untouched by en

4、vironmental concerns. The recently published report also predicts that the process will repeat itself with “ethical“ concerns, involving issues such as fair trade with the Third World and the social record of businesses. Companies will have to be more honest and open in response to this mood. Mintel

5、s survey, based on nearly 1,000 consumers, found that the proportion who look for green products and are prepared to pay more for them has climbed from 53 per cent in 1990 to around 60 per cent in 1994. On average, they will pay 13 per cent more for such products, although this percentage is higher

6、among women, managerial and professional groups and those aged 35 to 44. Between 1990 and 1994 the proportion of consumers claiming to be unaware of or unconcerned about green issues fell from 18 to 10 percent but the number of green spenders among older people and manual workers has risen substanti

7、ally. Regions such as Scotland have also caught up with the south of England in their environmental concerns. According to Mintel, and image of green consumerism as associated in the past with the more eccentric members of society has virtually disappeared. The consumer research manager for Mintel,

8、Angela Hughes, said it had become firmly established as a mainstream market. She explained that as far as the average person is concerned environmentalism has not gone off the boil. In fact, it has spread across a much wider range of consumer groups, ages and occupations. Mintels 1994 survey found t

9、hat 13 per cent of consumers are “very dark green“, nearly always buying environmentally friendly products, 28 per cent are “dark green“, trying “as far as possible“ to buy such products, and 21 per cent are “pale green“tending to buy green products if they see them. Another 26 per cent are “armchai

10、r greens“; they said they care about environmental issues but their concern does not affect their spending habits. Only 10 per cent say they do not care about green issues. Four in ten people are “ethical spenders“, buying goods which do Not, for example, involve dealings with oppressive regimes. Th

11、is figure is the same as in 1990, although the number of armchair ethicals has risen from 28 to 35 per cent and only 22 per cent say they are unconcerned now, against 30 per cent in 1990. Hughes claims that in the twenty-first century, consumers will be encouraged to think more about the entire hist

12、ory of the products and services they buy, including the policies of the companies that provide them and that this will require a greater degree of honesty with consumers. Among green consumers, animal testing is the top issue 48 per cent said they would be deterred from buying a product if it had b

13、een tested on animalsfollowed by concerns regarding irresponsible selling, the ozone layer, river and sea pollution, forest destruction, recycling and factory farming.

31、s one may hear at various sporting events. At the time they are made, they may seem innocent enough. But lets not kid ourselves. They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed. Volumes have been written about the way words affect us. It has been shown that word

32、s having certain connotations (含义) may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior. I see the term “opponent“ as one of those words. Perhaps the time has come to delete it from sports terms. The dictionary meaning of the term “opponent“ is “adversa

33、ry“; “enemy“; “one who opposes your interests.“ Thus, when a player meets an opponent, he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy. At such times, winning may dominate ones intellect, and every action, no matter how gross, may be considered justifiable. I recall an incident in a handball g

34、ame when a referee refused a players request for a time out for a glove change because he did not consider them wet enough. The player proceeded to rub his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then exclaimed, “Are they wet enough now?“ In the heat of battle, players have been observed to throw themselv

35、es across the court without considering the consequences that such a move might have on anyone in their way. I have also witnessed a player reacting to his opponents intentional and illegal blocking by deliberately hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the course of play. Off the cour

36、t, they are good friends. Does that make any sense? It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which departs from normal behavior. Therefore, I believe it is time we elevated (提升) the game to the level where it belongs, thereby setting an example to the rest of me sporting world. Replacing the ter

37、m “opponent“ with “associate“ could be an ideal way to start. The dictionary meaning of the term “associate“ is “colleague“; “friend“; “companion.“ Reflect a moment! You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term “associate“ rather than “opponent.“ （分数：177.50）(1).Whic

38、h of the following statements best expresses the authors view?（分数：35.50）A.The words people use can influence their behavior.B.Unpleasant words in sport are often used by foreign athletes.C.Aggressive behavior in sports can have serious consequences.D.Unfair judgments by referees will lead to violenc

39、e on the sports field.(2).Harsh words are spoken during games because the players_.（分数：35.50）A.are too eager to winB.treat their rivals as enemiesC.are usually shot-tempered and easily offendedD.cannot afford to be polite in fierce competitions(3).What did the handball player do when he was not allo

40、wed a time out to change his gloves?（分数：35.50）A.He angrily hit the referee with a ball.B.He refused to continue the game.C.He claimed that the referee was unfair.D.He wet his gloves by rubbing them across his T-shirt.(4).According to the passage, players in a game may_.（分数：35.50）A.kick the ball acro

41、ss the court with forceB.lie down on the ground as an act of protestC.deliberately throw the ball at anyone illegally blocking their wayD.keep on screaming and shouting throughout the game(5).The author hopes to have the current situation in sports improved by_.（分数：35.50）A.regulating the relationshi

42、p between players and refereesB.calling on players to use clean language on the courtC.raising the referees sense of responsibilityD.changing the attitude of players on the sports fieldAfter researching the history of the Vietnam war, I called my mom and asked her if she knew anyone who went to Viet

43、nam that I could interview. She thought for a while and suddenly remembered that she has a cousin who is a veteran of the Vietnam war. She says: “I know this man since I was little. We were very close friends in high school. He was one of the greatest athletes of the school. You can not imagine how

44、good and fast he was. Well, he was ranked number 20 in the country for being an outstanding track and field runner. But now, those things are only memories.“ After hanging up the phone, I immediately called him and introduced myself. He was in a cheery mood at the beginning of the conversation, but

45、as soon as I began to question him, his attitude changed. “What happened in Vietnam?“ I asked. There was a moment of silence on the other line, and then he said that he was willing to tell me about Vietnam. He basically said that he was drafted when he was 20 years old and that the two years he spen

46、t there are a part of his life he would rather forget. He said, “The problem is that you will never imagine how much suffering and pain I saw in that place.“ There is not one book, article, or encyclopedia that can really describe the human disaster that took place in Vietnam. There is nothing worse

47、 in this world than killing a man who you know has a family; destroying their future. It is very sad, but it is the truth, and it turns more complex when you realize that you were part of that truth. When I returned to Puerto Rico, it was a total disaster: young kids without fathers, wives without h

48、usband. Most of those who made it back are insane or have no legs, like me, or no arms. I was praised because of my bravery and other such things, but for me, that was and is pure nonsense, because that war decided my future, decided the future of my family. I, now, am just a veteran who never went to college. The thing that bothers me the most is that the people who decided to fight will probably never know what it is like to kill a man, or feel pain and suffering from hunger and
