章节摘录

　　Thousands of people around the globe step outside to gaze at their night sky. On a clear night,with no clouds,moonlight,or artificial lights to block the view,people can see more than 14,000 stars in the sky, says Dennis Ward, an astronomer （天文学家） with the University Corporation for Atmospheric Re- search（UCAR） in Boulder,Colo. But when people are surrounded by city lights,he says,theyre lucky to see 150 stars.　　If youve ever driven toward a big city at night and seen its glow from a great distance,youve witnessed light pollution. It occurs when light from streetlights, office buildings, signs, and other sources streams into space and illuminates（照亮）the night sky. This haze（朦胧）of light makes many stars invisible to people on Earth. Even at night,big cities like New York glow from light pollution,making stargzaing difficult.　　Dust and particles of pollution factories and industries worsen the effects of light pollution. "If one city has a lot more light pollution than another," Ward says,"that city will suffer the effects of light pollution on a much greater scale. "　　Hazy skies also make it far more difficult for astronomers to do their jobs.　　Cities are getting larger. Suburbs are growing in once dark, rural areas. Light from all this new development is increasingly obscuring（使变模糊）the faint（微弱的）light give off by distant stars. And if scientists cant locate these objects,they cant learn more about them.　　Light pollution doesnt only affect star visibility. It can harm wild life too. Its clear that artificial light can attract animals, making them go off course. Theres increasing evidence, for example, that migrating（迁徙）birds use sunsets and sunrises to help find their way, says Sydney Gauthreaux Jr. , a scientist at Clemson University in South Carolina. "When light occurs at night,"he says,"it has a very disruptive（破坏性的） influence. "Sometimes birds fly into lighted towers, highrises, and cables from radio and television towers. Experts estimate that millions of birds die this way every year.　　31. On a clear night,people can see　　A. 150 stars.　　B. hundreds of stars.　　C. one thousand stars.　　D. more than 14,000 stars.　　32.

"He looked at his budget and decided he could save a lot of money by shopping for clothes at thrift shops.　　"Even new clothes are fairly disposable（用后即丢掉的）and wear out after a couple of years," Barth said. "In thrift shops,you can find some great stuff whose quality is better than new clothes. "　　Since then,Barth,who works at a Goodwill thrift shop in the US state of Florida, has found that there are all kinds of reasons for shopping for second-hand clothing. Some people, like him, shop to save money. Some shop for a crazy-looking shirt. And some shop as a means of conserving energy and helping the environment.　　Pat Akins,an accountant at a Florida Salvation Army （SA）（救世军）thrift shop, said that, for her, shopping at thrift shops is a way to help the environment.　　"When my daughter was little, we looked at it as recycling,Akins said. "Also, why pay 30 dollars for a new coat when you can get another one for a lot less？"　　Akins said that the SA has shops all over the US —— "some as big as department stores. "All of the clothes are donated（捐赠） ,and when they have a surplus（盈余） ,theyll have "stuff a bag" specials,where customers can fill a grocery sack with clothes for only 5 or 10 dollars.　　Julia Slocum,22,points out,however,that the huge amount of second-hand clothing in the US is the result of American wastefulness.　　"Id say that second-hand stores are the result of our wasteful, materialistic eulture,"said Slocum, who works for a pro-conservation organization,the Center for a New American Dream. "Thrift shops pre- vent that waste from going to landfills（垃圾填埋场）;they give clothing a second life, provide cheaper
