• 2．In my everyday life，I am on an ongoing journey to figure out different ways to reduce my carbon footprint on the planet.A carbon footprint is the measure of influence our activities have on the environment，in particular climate change.It is calculated by the amount of greenhouse gas we produce in our daily lives.Fortunately，nowadays it is much easier to make eco-friendly lifestyle choices than，let's say，20 years ago.But one question has been on my mind a lot lately：is it better to buy new eco-friendly products or used traditionally produced goods？
     After doing some research，I have decided that some things are better new and others are better used.Let me try to explain.
     A carbon footprint is made up of two parts，the primary footprint and the secondary footprint.The primary footprint is a measure of our direct emissions （排放） of carbon dioxide （CO₂）from the burning of fuels，including household energy consumption and transportation.The secondary footprint is a measure of the indirect CO₂ emissions from the whole lifecycle of products we use -those related to their production and breakdown.
     Based on this understanding，we have a good deal of control and responsibility over our carbon footprint.Things like dishes，clothes and furniture fall into the "secondary footprint" group，so less is more and we can focus on finding used goods to avoid the added production.However for the car and the other appliances（設(shè)備）that we need we can go with new，energy-saving models.I heard somewhere that electronics and appliances give off 90% of their carbon footprint after they leave the factory.So it seems most reasonable to go for the energy-saving models.The main concern here is the amount of energy that goes into the making of new products and whether or not that extra carbon is worth the footprint the product will make once it gets to you.
  
  （1）What is the text mainly about？

  
  A．What appliances to buy to save energy.
  B．What a carbon footprint means in our life.
  C．How to identify different carbon footprints.
  D．How to make eco-friendly lifestyle choices.
  （2）What do we know about the secondary carbon footprint？

  
  A．It is related to our consumption of fuels.
  B．It is made when we are buying the products.
  C．It is less harmful than the primary carbon footprint.
  D．It is counted as ours though not directly made by us.
  （3）Which of the following helps reduce our carbon footprint according to the author？

  
  A．Using second-hand textbooks.
  B．Using old and expensive cars.
  C．Buying new but cheap clothes.
  D．Buying new wooden furniture.
  （4）"The footprint" underlined in the last sentence refers to the CO₂ produced in

  .
  A．using the product
  B．recycling the product
  C．making the product
  D．transporting the product

• 3．Most squirrels don't hibernate（冬眠）.Instead，they store food for the cold season and spend the winter in their nests.But the 13-lined round squirrel，one species of squirrel in the U.S.Midwest，is not the case.For up to 8 months，the tiny mammals won't eat or drink anything at all and the heart rate，metabolism（新陳代謝），and body temperature dramatically drop during their long rest，which is similar to bears and other hibernating animals.
     To find out how the hibernating squirrels hold back their thirst，a powerful force that could potentially wake them up，and researchers measured the blood fluid of dozens of squirrels.Generally，a high blood concentration（血液濃度） makes animals，including humans，feel thirst.The sleeping squirrels' blood concentration was low，preventing them from waking up for a drink.Even when researchers woke up the torpid squirrels，they wouldn't drink a drop until the team artificially increased the concentration of their blood serum.
     Next，the researchers wanted to know how the squirrels' blood concentration dropped so low.Perhaps the squirrels drank a lot of water before hibernation to dilute（稀釋）their blood，the researchers thought.But when they filmed squirrels preparing for their winter snooze，they found the animals actually drank less water than they normally did.
     Instead，chemical tests revealed the squirrels regulate their blood concentration by getting rid of electrolytes（電解質(zhì)） like sodium and other chemicals like glucose and urea and storing them elsewhere in the body （possibly in the bladder），the researchers reported last month in Current Biology.The finding could also explain how other hibernating animals stay containing water.
     This new knowledge might one day help humans with conditions such as diabetes（糖尿?。?，or astronauts who have launched on long space flights.Unfortunately，even if people can figure out how to drop their blood concentration，it's unlikely they'll ever be as cute as sleeping squirrels.
  
  （1）What do we know about the 13-lined ground squirrels？

  
  A．They don't hibernate like many other squirrels.
  B．They are endangered species in the U.S.Midwest.
  C．They can live for months without water during hibernation.
  D．Their heart rule and body temperature are extremely abnormal.
  （2）The hibernating squirrels don't feel thirsty because of their

  .
  A．high blood concentration
  B．low blood concentration
  C．low body temperature
  D．high heart rate
  （3）Hibernating squirrels adjust their blood concentrations by

  .
  A．Drinking much water before hibernation
  B．Not eating anything during hibernation
  C．Drinking less water than they normally do
  D．Removing certain chemicals and storing them somewhere
  （4）What is the author's attitude towards the new findings？

  
  A．Objective.
  B．Positive.
  C．Disappointing.
  D．Uncaring.
