Marc Springmann and his clleagues, at the Oxfrd Martin Schl's Future f Fd Prgramme, built cmputer mdels that predicted what wuld happen if everyne became vegetarian by 2050. The results indicate that if the wrld went vegan, the greenhuse gas emissins declines wuld be arund 70%.
In the US, fr example, an average family f fur emits mre greenhuse gases because f the meal they eat than frm driving tw cars——but it is cars, nt steaks, that regularly cme up in discussins abut glbal warming.
Fd, especially livestck, als takes up a lt f rm. 68% f agricultural land in the wrld is used fr livestck. When these lands becme grasslands and frests, they wuld capture carbn dixide and further ease climate change.
Hwever, if the whle wrld went vegan, there wuld be negative effects t. First, it is necessary t keep livestck fr envirnmental purpses. "I'm sitting here in Sctland where the Highlands' envirnment is very man-made and based largely n grazing by sheep," says Peter Alexander, a researcher in sci-eclgical systems mdeling at the University f Edinburgh. "If we tk all the sheep away, the envirnment wuld lk different and there wuld be a ptential negative impact n bidiversity. "
Plus, meat is an imprtant part f histry , traditin and cultural identity. Numerus grups arund the wrld give livestck gifts at weddings, celebratry dinners such as Christmas with turkey r rast beef.
And nwadays, mderatin in meal-eating's frequency and prtin size is key t slving these cnflicts. "Certain changes wuld encurage us t make healthier and mre envirnmentally friendly dietary decisins," says Springmann, "like putting a higher price lag n meat and making fresh fruits and vegetables cheaper. "
In fact, clear slutins already exist fr reducing greenhuse gas emissins frm the livestck industry. What is lacking is the will t implement thse changes.
8．What can we infer frm the underlined sentence in the secnd paragraph?
A．Driving cars is mre dangerus than eating steaks in the US.
B．Our dietary chices affecting climate change is ften underestimated.
C．Peple cmpare the greenhuse gas emissins f the cars and steaks.
D．Cars affect the glbal warming mre seriusly than the steaks.
9．Why des Peter Alexander mentin the sheep?
A．T shw the imprtant impact f livestck n the envirnment.
B．T shw his wrk as a researcher in the sci-eclgical systems.
C．T encurage peple t take all the sheep back fr envirnmental purpse.
D．T pint ut the negative impact f the sheep n the bidiversity.
10．Which saying can best shw the authr's attitude t livestck?
A．It is hard t please all.
B．Dn't put all yur eggs in ne basket.
C．One cannnt see the wd fr the trees.

Chengdu, the capital f Sichuan prvince, has an ancient cmpetitin with Chngqing, a city t its suth-east. Residents f Chngqing accused their Chengdu cusins f being pmpus (自大的).

If it can set the West n fire, fficials may hpe it will becme a delicius new surce f Chinese sft pwer. There will be plenty f glry fr bth Chengdu and Chngqing t take pride in if that happens.
12．Why are Chengdu and Chngqing cmpeting with each ther?
