　Text 

　Protecting nature certainly has benefits, but it has costs as well How are we to balance the two when deciding how far we should go in caring for the environment

　SAVING NATURE, BUT onLY FOR MAN

　Charles Krauthammer

　Environmental sensitivity is now as required an attitude in polite society as is, belief in democracy or aversion to nylon But now that everyone has claims to love Mother Earth, how are we to choose among the dozens of conflicting proposals, restrictions, projects, regulations and laws advanced in the name of the environment Clearly not everything with an environmental claim is worth doing How to choose

　There is a simple way First, distinguish between environmental luxuries and environmental necessities Luxuries are those things it would be nice to have if costless Necessities are those things we must have regardless Then apply a rule Call it the fundamental principle of sensible environmentalism: Combating ecological change that directly threatens the health and safety of people is an environmental necessity All else is luxury

　For example: preserving the atmosphere, by both protecting the ozone layer and halting the greenhouse effect, is an environmental necessity In April scientists reported that ozone damage is far worse than previously thought Ozone reduction not only causes skin cancer and eye cataracts, it also destroys plankton, the beginning of the food chain on top of which we humans sit

　The reality of the greenhouse effect is more speculative, though its possible consequences are far deadlier: melting ice caps, flooded coastlines, disturbed climate, dried up plains and, ultimately, empty breadbaskets The American Midwest feeds the world Are we prepared to see Iowa acquire Albuquerque's climate And Siberia acquire Iowa's

　Ozone reduction and the greenhouse effect are human disasters They happen to occur in the environment But they are urgent because they directly threaten man A sensible environmentalism, the only kind of environmentalism that will win universal public support, begins by unashamedly declaring that nature is here to serve man A sensible environmentalism is entirely man-centered: it calls for man to preserve nature, but on the grounds of self-preservation

　A sensible environmentalism does not sentimentalize the earth It does not ask people to sacrifice in the name of other creatures After all, it is hard enough to ask people to sacrifice in the name of other humans (Think of the public resistance to foreign aid and welfare) Ask hardworking voters to sacrifice in the name of the snail darter, and, if they are feeling polite, they will give you a shrug

　Of course, this man-centeredness runs against the grain of a contemporary environmentalism that worships the earth to the point of excess One scientific theory — Gaia theory — actually claims that Earth is a living organism This kind of environmentalism likes to consider itself spiritual It is nothing more than sentimental It takes, for example, a highly selective view of the kindliness of nature My nature worship stops with the May storms that killed more than 125,000 Bengalis and left 10 million homeless

　A non-sentimental environmentalism is one founded on Protagoras' principle that "Man is the measure of all things" Such a principle helps us to fight our way through the jungle of environmental argument Take the current debate raging over oil drilling in a corner of the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge Environmentalists, fighting against a bill working its way through Congress to permit such exploration, argue that we should be conserving energy instead of drilling for it This is a false either/or proposition The country does need a substantial energy tax to reduce consumption But it needs more production too Government estimates indicate a nearly fifty-fifty chance that under the ANWR lies one of the five largest oil fields ever discovered in America

　We have just come through a war fought in part over oil: Energy dependence costs Americans not just dollars but lives It is a ridiculous sentimentalism that would deny ourselves oil that is peacefully attainable because it risks disrupting the breeding grounds of Arctic reindeer

　I like the reindeer as much as the next man And I would be rather sorry if their mating patterns are disturbed But you can't have everything And if the choice is between the welfare of reindeer and reducing oil dependence that gets people killed in wars, I choose man over reindeer every time

　Similarly the spotted owl I am no enemy of the owl If it could be preserved at no or little cost, I would agree: the variety of nature is a good, a high aesthetic good But it is no more than that And sometimes aesthetic goods have to be sacrificed to the more fundamental ones If the cost of preserving the spotted owl is the loss of livelihood for 30,000 logging families, I choose family over owl

　The important distinction is between those environmental goods that are fundamental and those that are merely aesthetic Nature is our charge It is not our master It is to be respected and even cultivated But it is man's world And when man has to choose between his well-being and that of nature, nature will have to accommodate

　Man should accommodate only when his fate and that of nature are bound up together The most urgent accommodation must be made when the very integrity of man's environment — eg, atmospheric ozone — is threatened When the threat to man is of a lesser order (say, the pollutants from coal- and oil-fired generators that cause death from disease but not fatal damage to the ecosystem), a more moderate accommodation that balances economic against health concerns is in order But in either case the principle is the same: protect the environment — because it is man's environment

　The sentimental environmentalists will call this saving nature with a totally wrong frame of mind Exactly A sensible — a humanistic — environmentalism does it not for nature's sake but for our own

　2 Read aloud the following poem:

　The Beauty of Nature

　James Teh

　One cool evening, I put aside all duty,

　To sit alone, watching the sun set,

　And as I do, I think of scenes filled with beauty,

　Scenes I wish to never forget

　I think of the beach, with the sand and the sea,

　The waves roaring up, then gently lapping the beach,

　The cries of the seagulls, so happy, so free,

　It only men realized the lesson it can teach

　I think of a lake, the crystal clear water,

　So pure, so smooth, and cool on my skin,

　The air, so clean, no toxic slaughter,

　There's a key, a lesson held within

　I think of a waterfall, water freely flowing,

　The gentle gush, gurgling in my ears,

　The wind on my face, calmly blowing,

　So many have not learnt in so many years

　The sunset, the beach, the lake, the waterfall,

　They're things of nature, not man-made at all,

　Characteristics unbeatable by man have they all,

　They're peace and beauty, both of which it seems men want to fall

　3 Read the following quotations Learn them by heart if you can You might need to look up new words in a dictionary

　Complete adaptation to environment means death The essential point in all response is the desire to control environment

　—— John Dewey

　We won't have a society if we destroy the environment

　—— Margaret Mead

　We make the world we live in and shape our own environment

　—— Orison Swett Marden

　When man is happy, he is in harmony with himself and his environment

　—— Oscar Wilde

　4Read the following joke for fun:

　Man: how many environmentalists does it take to change a light bulb

　Woman: Ten One to install the new bulb and nine to figure out what to do with the discarded bulb for the next 10,000 years

记忆英语单词：

1、中英结合巧联想。

例如记忆单词chat，你把它拆开，chat=cha+t，cha是汉字茶的拼音，t是英语的茶tea的发音，两杯茶一放，两个人开始聊天。chat就是聊天的意思。微信代号wechat，就是取我们聊天吧的意思。

2、字母形象联想法。

scarf=s+car+f，弯弯的s象铁丝，car就是小气车，铁线一划，小汽车就受伤了，scar意思是伤痕。围巾围在脖子上的形状像连笔写的f，为什么要围住脖子呢？你可以想象脖子上有一块伤疤啊。scarf意思是围巾，你将终身难忘。

3、词型相似的单词放在一起对比记忆。

比如photo-与phono-，前者表示图象，后者表示声音，它们原本都是前缀。photo呢，有个t，是与图（tu）有联系的；phono呢有个n，它和音（yin）有联系的哦。

4、反义词放在一起容易记住。

如export和import，port是港口的意思，前缀ex-是出去的意思，im-是进来的意思。所以它们的意思是出口和进口。又如like和dislike。like是喜欢，前缀dis-是否定的意思，所以dislike就是不喜欢。
