theamountofwater.Theprocessalsoproducesmoregreenhousegases.然而，生产纸袋所消耗的能源是塑料袋的四倍，而耗水则多达三倍。其生产过程也会产生更多的温室气体。Infact,bothkindsofbagsarebadfortheenvironment.So,takeareusablebagwithyouwhenyougoshopping.事实上这两种袋子都不够环保，所以出门购物时请带上一个可重复使用的袋子。Whenyouturnoffadevice,itstopsusingpower.关掉的电器不耗电？Whenweturnoffadevice,suchastelevision,itgoesintostand-bymode.Devicesinthismodestillusepower,andolderdevicesinstand-bymodecanuseevenmore.This

fromitspowersupply.当我们关掉电视等电器时，它会进入待机状态。这种状态下的电器仍然耗电，而且越旧的电器耗电越多。这是因为电器即使已经被“关掉”了，却依然有电流从电器中流失。为确保电器设备彻底关闭，请从电源上拔下电器插头。行业PPT模板http:///hangye/removeremove...from...把……从……移开/撤掉；从……移走……removefrom...to...从……搬到……removeone'sdoubt消除某人的疑虑removeone'sclothes脱下某人的衣服removesb.fromone'spost/position撤某人的职；开除某人removesb.fromschool把某人从学校开除；勒令某人退学removethepaintingtoanotherwall把画移到另一面墙上removethedishesfromthetable拿走桌子上的盘子removethemudfromyourshoes除掉你鞋上的泥wereremoved练习：Threeworkers____________(remove)fromthecompanyforbadbehavioryesterday.Eatinglocalfoodisgoodfortheenvironment.吃本地食物更有利于环保？Itseemslikecommonsense:eatinglocalfoodshouldbebetterfortheenvironment,becauseitdoesnotneedtobetransportedlongdistancesandkeptcoldduringtransport.

Unfortunately,itisnotthatsimple.这似乎是常识：吃本地产的食物更环保因为不需要长途低温运输。然而事实没有那么简单。Itistheproductionoffood,notitstransport,thatusesmostoftheenergyandproducesmostofthegreenhousegases.

相比于运输，食物的生产过程才是消耗大部分能源及生产大部分温室气体的原因。陈述句的强调句型Itis/was+被强调部分（通常是主语、宾语或状语）+that/who（当强调主语且主语指人）+其他部分。Insomecases,localproducemighthaveusedmoreenergyandproducedmoregreenhousegasesthanproducegrownalongwayaway-eventakingintoaccountitstransport.在有些情况下，即使将运输因素考虑在内，本地的农产品也可能比距离遥远的外地种植的农产品耗能更多，产生的温室气体也更多。produce:v.制造，制作n.农产品It’sbettertotakeashowerthanabath.淋浴比泡澡更好？Itdependsonhowlongyouspendintheshowerandhowlargeyourbathis.Ifyouspendmorethaneightminutesinashower,you’lluseasmuchwaterasinabath-about50litresofwater.Therefore,thekeyistokeepyourshowertimeasshortaspossible
