China is showing the world its great resolve in the global climate campaign with concrete and self-motivated efforts as well as serious commitment.
At the opening ceremony of the Paris climate summit,Chinese President Xi Jinping restated China's plan made in June to cut its carbon emissions(排放)per unit of GDP by 60-65 percent from 2005 levels by 2030,and increase non-fossil fuel sources in primary energy consumption to about 20 percent.
With a large population,China is facing increasing resource limits,severe environmental pollution and a worsening ecosystem,and its citizens are also becoming increasingly aware of environmental problems.Suffering environmental problems and seeing the efforts as important to transforming its economic growth pattern,the country has much at risk if climate change is left unattended.
Actually,climate change efforts are already included in China's medium—and long-term program of economic and social development,and ecological efforts are the clear characteristics in China's 13th Five-Year Plan(2016-2020).
Although it is and will be a developing country for a long time to come,China has been actively involved in the global campaign against climate change,now topping the world in terms of energy conservation and use of new and renewable energies.
However,China's development rights need to be respected.It is unfair to overstress China's status as one of the world's largest greenhouse gas emitters and regard it as the major part of responsibilities in the global fight against climate change.
It is worthy of notice that China's emissions of greenhouse gases per person are far lower than those of developed countries,especially the United States,although rapid economic expansion and its population base have made it one of the biggest producers of the gases.
To show its great resolve,Beijing in September also announced the establishment of an independent South-South cooperation fund of 20 billion RMB to help developing countries affected by global warming.
While China is eagerly accomplishing its policy commitments,developed countries should stop questioning China's commitment to fighting climate change and pointing fingers,and start shouldering their due responsibilities instead.

2.There' s no place like home.It' s the place where we' re surrounded by our possessions and creature comforts.We purchase things to give our homes a personal touch.And one thing we're buying more of is houseplants.But are these "living" additions to our homes good for us and the environment?
Houseplants,also known as pot plants,add a natural touch and they have the ability to brighten up a room on a budget.The Royal Horticultural Society found that nearly 72% of adults in the UK had a houseplant in their home,with this figure rising to 80% of 16-24 year olds.A fifth of owners also said they use plants in the home to boost their health and well-being.And average sales last year were up on the previous year.
It seems millennials (千禧代) are driving the growth in the sales of houseplants.More young people are living in flats without a garden.24-year-old Daisy Hale said "being able to care for something but not having too much commitment—I guess that's a classic millennial line—is ideal for my lifestyle."
From hanging baskets,to cacti (仙人掌) and succulent ferns,the choice of vegetation is endless.They are easy to care for,and there have been unproven claims that they improve the air quality in our home.But whatever their benefits,there are now concerns that they might not be so good for the environment.Some are bought online and shipped from overseas.Fay Kenworthy,co-founder of PlantSwap,a community activity that encourages people to trade plants locally,said "this could defeat many local plants."
But botanist James Wong argues that home delivery has less of an environmental impact than multiple trips to the garden center in a car.Although he' s not too concerned about the environmental impact,others are worried about the plastic pots they are in and the type of peat (泥炭) that some of them are grown in.However,a sustainable approach to buying them may be the best way forward if we want to introduce some natural greenery into our homes.
(1)What is the benefit of a houseplant?
A.A houseplant can cure people of many diseases.
B.A houseplant is ideal for millennials' career.
C.A houseplant improve the water quality in our home.
D.A houseplant can beautify a room with little money.
(2)Which of the following may Fay Kenworthy agree with?

C.It's best to buy plants online.
D.Houseplants are hard to care for.
(3)Where is the passage probably from?
A.A fashion magazine.
B.A tour brochure.
C.A scientific fiction.
D.A history book.
(4)What is James Wong's attitude towards home delivery of plants?

B.Neutral.

D.Not mentioned.
(5)What is the best title of the passage?
A.Natural Greenery.
B.Millennials' Choice.
