My 47-year-old?back?ached?in?anticipation（預(yù)想）of?the?shoveling（鏟雪）I?would?have?to?do?if?the?snow?didn't?stop?soon.
     Yet，when?I?looked?out?on?the?white?blanket?that?covered?the?ground，I?couldn't?help?but?smile?a?bjye.ai.It was?so?beautiful.It?softened?the?bare?trees?and?hid?the?dead?grass.In?the?distance?I?could?hear?the?sound?of the?snowplow?on?the?road，the?barking?of?a?happy?dog?and?the?laughter?of?children?playing?outside，enjoying their?way?off?from?school.

• 3．In?the?old?days，when?you?had?to?drive?to?a?movie?theater?to?get?some?entertainment，it?was?easy?to?see?how?your?actions?could?have?an?impact（影響）on?the?environment.After?all，you?were?jumping?into?your?car，driving?across?town，coughing?out?emissions（產(chǎn)生排放）and?using?gas?all?the?way.But?now?that?we're?used to?staying?at?home?and?streaming?movies，we?might?get?a?little?proud.After?all，we're?just?picking?up?our phones?and?maybe?turning?on?the?TV.You're?welcome.Mother?Nature.
     Not?so?fast，says?a?recent?report?from?the?French-based?Shift?Project.According?to "Climate?Crisis：The Unsustainable?Use?of?Online?Video"，digital?technologies?are?responsible?for 4% of?greenhouse?gas?emissions，and?that?energy?use?is?increasing?by 9% a?year.Watching?a?half-hour?show?would?cause 1.6 kilograms?of carbon?dioxide?emissions.That's?like?driving 6.28 kilometers.And?in?the?European?Union，the?Eureca?project found?that?data?centers （where?videos?are?stored） there?used 25% more?energy?in 2017 compared?to?just?three?years?earlier，reports?the?BBC.
     Streaming?is?only?expected?to?increase?as?we become?more?enamored?of our?digital?devices（設(shè)備）and?the?possibility?of?enjoying?entertainment?where?and?when?we?want?it?increases.Online?video?use?is expected?to?increase?by?four?times?from 2017 to 2022 and?account?for 80% of?all?Internet?traffic?by 2022.By then，about 60% of?the?world's?population?will?be?online.
     You're?probably?not?going?to?give?up?your?streaming?services，but?there're?things?you?can?do?to?help lessen?the?impact?of?your?online?use，experts?say.For?example，according?to?Lutz?Stobbe，a?researcher from the?Fraunhofer?Institute?in?Berlin，we?have?no?need?to?upload 25 pictures?of?the?same?thing?to?the?cloud because?it?consumes?energy?every?time.If?instead?you?delete?a?few?things?here?and?there，you?can?save energy.Moreover，it's?also?a?good?idea?to?stream?over?Wi-Fi，watch?on?the?smallest?screen?you?can，and?turn?off your?Wi-Fi?in?your?home?if?you're?not?using?your?devices.
  
  （1）What?topic?is?the?first?paragraph?intended?to?lead?in？

  
  A．The?environmental?effects?of?driving?private?cars.
  B．The?improvements?on?environmental?awareness.
  C．The?change?in?the?way?people?seek?entertainment.
  D．The?environmental?impacts?of?streaming?services.
  （2）What?does?the?underlined?phrase "become?more?enamored?of" in?paragraph 3 probably?mean？

  
  A．Get?more?skeptical?of.
  B．Become?more?aware?of.
  C．Feel?much?crazier?about.
  D．Get?more?worried?about.
  （3）What?can?we?infer?about?the?use?of?streaming?services？

  
  A．It?is?being?reduced?to?protect?the?planet.
  B．Its?environmental?effects?are?worsening.
  C．It?is?easily?available?to?almost?everyone.
  D．Its?side?effects?have?drawn?global?attention.
  （4）Which?of?the?following?is?the?most?environmentally-friendly？

  
  A．Watching?downloaded?movies?on?a?mobile?phone.
  B．Downloading?music?on?a?personal?computer.
  C．Uploading?a?lot?of?images?of?the?same?thing.
