26、Nowadays climate change is the greatest challenge facing humanity: we should try our best to reduce carbon emission (二氧化碳排放) if we are to avoid a disaster that destroys large parts of the world. The carbon footprint means the effect that human activities have on the environment. Here are some effective ways to live a low-carbon life:
1. Use less junk mails and reduce the need for paper use. A simple web search will lead you to a paper-free form to send to marketing preference organizations.
2. Drink and eat more thoughtfully. Drink tap water rather than buy bottled water. If you have concerns about your tap water, use a filter (过滤器) and clean it regularly. Try to replace one of your weekly meals without any meat.
3. Do not burn fossil fuels (矿物燃料) if you can. Travelling on foot or by bike reduces global warming pollution and saves money.
In fact, making use of solar power is the most effective way to live a low-carbon life. If all families use home solar power system instead of fossil fuels, we could reduce our oil dependence by more than a third. You can search clues and information via GOOGLE and YAHOO to put together your DIY solar power system. However, there is a lot of garbage on the Internet, so it is hard to tell the bad ones from the useful. You need professional ( 专业的 ) help on DIY solar power!
Our action is important if we want to avoid climate change. There is no time to delay with the effort to reduce carbon emission. Making greener choices, from the food you eat to the way you travel, can improve your health and well-being.

27、Recently, a group of architects from South Korea are planning to design a smart city with all functional areas people need, including living areas, study rooms, offices an entertainment areas-all within a 10-minute walk from each other.
When explaining the aim of the city, Ben van Berkel, co-founder of design company UNStudio told CNN, “We do this to provide more choices for how residents can spend their living, working and leisure time, thereby saving them the time needed to travel elsewhere in the city - because with time that is saved, more time is created.”
The idea of such a city is not new. In 2016, French-Colombian researcher Carlos Moreno put forward the“15-minute city” concept The COVID-19 pandemic has made them more interested in the concept. During the pandemic, many people have been forced to spend most of their time at home, with limited access to much else outside of their immediate community.
Paloma Ezzet, 16, is an example. She said before the pandemic, she liked to play soccer or go dancing. But during the pandemic, she had to give them up as no such entertainment areas were in her community. “It is gloomy, lonely and frustrating,” Ezzet said.
French professor Roxana Bobulescu agrees that the pandemic has broken our routine, making us rethink our lives and what our cities look like. “If our way of life is no longer making sense, perhaps it’s time to consider other possibilities,” he told the website Business Because.
The well-resourced smart city like the “10-minute city” may be one alternative(替代选择). But not everyone is on board with the idea. Some critics said it would further concentrate wealth in the most accessible and convenient districts.
So with such risk, should people stop considering this concept and give up alternatives altogether? Maybe not. As Bobulescu said, “The seeds are there, and they’ll grow little by little.”

A.To explain the necessity of the “10-minute city”.
B.To show the influence COVID-19 has on people.
C.To describe what kind of community life people desire.
D.To prove entertainment areas are important to communities.
【3】What does the underlined part “on board with” in paragraph 7 mean?
A.Disagree with.
B.Care about.
C.In favor of.
D.Back down.
【4】What’s the author’s attitude toward the “10-minute city”?
