I live at Whitefields, and I woul

18、d like to express my concern about this plan. It is not that I am completely against the idea of building a supermarket I just think that as a community （社區(qū)） we need to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages before committing ourselves.It is clear that the library is under-used and in poor condit

19、ion. It is also clear that there are very few shops near here and a supermarket would be a good thing to have. But the people who want to build the supermarket seem to think that no one wants the library any more, and that it isn a m ust because of the I nternet and so on. Is this necessarily true,

20、especially for elderly people? What about young people who don have the Internet at home and need to go to the library to do their homework? Where can they study if they have to share a room with a younger brother or sister?On the other hand, there is an argument that a new supermarket would not onl

21、y bring more choice of shopping and more convenience for local people, but it would also bring some much-neededjobs for younger people in the townand this is a good point. What we need to do is consider the effect a supermarket will have on our quality of life. Certainly local people, including me,

22、will find shopping a lot easier and more convenient. But there will also be extra traffic. In a few years from now, the roads in and around will be full of cars in the daytime and delivery lorries at night, and not only that we will have got used to it, too. Are more jobs and more convenience worth

23、such an influence on our daily lives? Perhaps, but this is what we have to ask ourselves.I believe that all the people of Whitefields, and the authority, need to discuss this question in an open-minded way- and I hope that by the time a decision is taken, we will have had a full and fair discussion

24、of the issues involved, and that the local authority will have really listened to everyone' s view. Is that too much to ask?Yours faithfully, Tom Watkins 31.

37、n two months without power, so the island community started looking into a better way of sourcing their electricity.“ Mykenis far out at sea, so as far as possible it should be taking care of things itself, “ says Kyrre Sundseth, who is a hydrogen）（researcher in Norway and also the project manager f

38、or Myken' senergy project. “Thisis why we want Myken to become entirely self-sufficient in energy. It is also important to take the environment into consideration, " he says.Much points to the idea that the solution may lie in a Hydrogen plant, specifically nature itself in the form of the

39、sun and wind. Researchers have calculated that energy costs will be lower by using hydrogen production than the underseacable option. And it is possible to store energy in the form of hydrogen for longer periods. This means that supplies will not have to rely on a lot of expensive batteries or exter

41、olves experiments on the feasibility （可行性） of the hydrogen system in which electricity is generated from solar and wind sources. The electricity can be used immediately, but during periods when all the energy generated is not required, the spare energy can be used to split seawater into hydrogen and

42、 oxygen. The hydrogen can be stored in a tank, and used later to generate electricity. The pilot will help researchers know more about how effectively the system will work in the hydrogen plant. Since the island has a distillery 0艮酒廠）， where the distillation （蒸儲）process relies on energy, a hydrogen

43、plant on Myken offers an even greater environmental benefit. Spare heat from the hydrogen system can also be used for the heating part in the distillation process.“IrNorway alone there are about 300 island inhabited all year round by small populations, " says Kyrre Sundseth. “All of these islan

44、ds may be candidates for using this technology. In global terms we ' re talking about 10,000 similar islands.”38. Why is a hydrogen plant suitable for Myken?A. It is perfect in size for small islands.B. It can send electricity to faraway places.C. It will restore local natural environment.D. It

47、ench artist Poussin, the ancient philosopher Diogenes is described casting away his last possession,a drinking bowl. He realizes he doesn ' t need it after seeing a youth cupping a hand to drink from a river. Th e significance for us is that Diogenes' spiritual descendants （代 ）known as '

48、newminimalists are now everywhere, if not as completely possession-free as he was.There are hundreds of websites praising the virtues of tidy living. Everyone is trying to cut down on things these days. People are trying to reduce their carbon footprints, their waistlines, and their monthly outgoing

51、LPs to the nearest charity shopand I admit I shall probably go on keeping them.
