12、ed down to Alexis, “Hold on! You can do this. We know you can! ”Jason grasped another rope, put this climbing harness(系带)on and began to move down the cliff.

13、of the cliff that jetted(急突)outward. Jason said to Alexis, “I know that you have been on this cliff now for what seems like a long time.

Today, Denmark produces 25 percent of its electricity using wi

19、nd turbines(风力涡轮机). It hopes to be producing 50 percent of its electricity using the wind by 2020. As Torben Madse, vice-president of Vestas, the worlds largest producer of wind turbines, stated in an interview, “Where we have the best success with wind turbines is not necessarily where we find the

20、best wind. It is where we have the political will. ”As the subject of the Pickering airport raised its ugly head this week with objection against the Greater Toronto Airport Authoritys suggestions to build an airport on the federal land, it occurred to me that rather than destroying this farm land,
