On my first job as a sports editor, I didn’t get a lot of fan mails, so I was surprid to e a letter on my desk one morning. When I opened it, I read: “Sweet piece of writing on the Tigers. Keep up the good work.”
It was signed (署名) by Don Wolfe, the sports editor. Becau I was a green hand, his word
s could not have been more encouraging. I kept the letter in my desk drawer for a long time. Whenever I doubted I had the talent to be an editor, I would reread Don’s note and be confident again.
Later, when I got to know him, I learned that Don had a habit of writing encouraging notes to people in all walks of life. “When I make others feel good about themlves,” he told me, “I feel good, too.”
Why are encouraging note writers in such short supply? My guess is that many who shy away from the practice are too lf-conscious. They are afraid they will be misunderstood. Also, writing takes time and it is far easier to pick up the phone. The disadvantage with phone calls, of cour, is that they do not last. It is a matter of record, and our words in a note can be read more than once and treasured.
So, who around you derves a note of thanks or approval? A neighbor, your librarian, a relative, your mate, a teacher, or a doctor? Words such as “greatest”, “smartest”, “prettiest” make us all feel good. Even if your prai runs a little ahead of reality, rememb
er that expectations are often the parents of dreams realized.

Most of the energy we u now is m ade from “non-renewable” sources. The good news is we have plenty of alternatives–the wind, sun and water can provide “renewable (可再生的) energy” which will never run out and does not give off carbon dioxide and therefore is good for the environment.
So, wh at would a world powered by nature look like? Let’s think about how your day might change.
As you are woken up, the solar panels (太阳能电池板) on your roof would heat the water you bathe with. In the kitchen your mum would make breakfast with a kettle that could tell you just how much energy you are using, and where it’s coming from – maybe from solar panels too. As you and your family leave the hou, a “Smart” energy meter (仪表) would be able to tell you the amount of energy your family has ud so far.
You wo uld get in your family’s electric car, which would not give off any bad smoke. On your way to school, you would notice all the hous you pass have solar panels on their roofs and maybe a small wind turbine (风力涡轮机) if they were built on a hill, and some h
ave water tanks collecting rain water to be reud. There would be no petrol stations, but you might e many other stations instead, where you could recharge (再充电) your car.
Your school would also look different. Like your hou, the roof would probably be covered with solar panels. Inside, the school would be heated by a biomass boiler (生物质锅炉), which burns recycled wood chips. A renewable cooling system in the school means that in the summer it will never get too warm!
To make this renewable future possible, we need to think carefully about where our energy comes from and how we u it.
5. What wouldn’t you e on the way to school according to the text?
A. Petrol stations.
果桑B. Solar panels on the roofs.
C. Small wind turbines.
D. Water tanks collecting rain water.
6. Which of the following best describes the world mentioned in the text?
A. Healthy and safe.
红绫>武大郎设宴B. Convenient but unpractical.
C. Energy-saving but too complex.
丹樱生态园D. Intelligent and free from pollution.
