Страница 108-109
2-A) The next time you go to your local supermarket take a minute to look and see if there is something different about it. The local council, supported by a government grant, has installed ten recycling machines in supermarkets in the area. The machines only work with returnable bottles, and when one is deposited in the machine the depositor receives ten pence for their effort. It is hoped that where concern for the environment has not persuaded people to recycle, money might.
3-C) 22-year-old Rowan Peters was sentenced to six months in prison yesterday at Carlisle Crown Court. Found guilty of an act of arson that resulted in the destruction of over 1,000 hectares of valuable woodland, Peters continued to proclaim his innocence. To most people gathered outside the court, Peters’ sentence was far too light and really counted as no more than a slap on the wrist for such an irresponsible and dangerous act.
4-D) Clydesdale Mews in the west of the city is sparkling this morning after a massive weekend clean-up by locals. Sick and tired of the rubbish littering their streets and parks, the people of the area, many of whom have lived there their whole lives, decided to get together to do something about it once and for all. Old and young alike turned out to participate in the clean-up. When asked about it, Mr Kline, an elderly resident, said, «Now, that’s the stuff. We have always loved the area, and after this weekend we have even more reason to do so. Everywhere is as neat as a pin, just like in the old days!»
5-H) Scientists have announced that a type of West African monkey, Miss Waldron’s red colobus, has probably become extinct. This large monkey is the first primate to vanish since the 19th century. Despite a series of searches conducted by anthropologists over a six-year period, no evidence of even one remaining monkey was found. Wildlife experts were unsurprised, as the last confirmed sighting of a Miss Waldron’s red colobus was over 20 years ago and it was listed as endangered back in 1988.
6-G) Hurricane winds ripped through areas of Florida yesterday, causing millions of dollars’ worth of damage. Homeowners in the state complained to the media that the local meteorological office and weather stations had given them little time to prepare for the hurricane. An expert on climate change, Stan Wren, issued a harsh warning that yesterday’s hurricane was not simply a force of Mother Nature, but the product of man’s continuing disrespect for the environment. He went on to say that we should be prepared to expect more surprises in the future.
7-B) Concerned conservationists rushed to the mouth of St Stephen’s River late this afternoon after receiving reports that a young whale had beached itself. The desperate situation suddenly took a turn for the better when the water level began to rise and the whale managed, with the help of onlookers, to free itself and escape to deeper water. Once its sense of direction had returned, it turned and headed back out to sea. It seems that sometimes sonar signals from boats can confuse the young whales, and they become separated from their pod, or family group.
2-A ДЕЛАЕТ ЕГО СТОЯЩИМ
В следующий раз, когда вы идете в свой местный супермаркет, найдите минутку, чтобы посмотреть, есть ли что-то другое. Местный совет при поддержке государственного гранта установил в супермаркетах в этом районе десять машин для переработки отходов. Машины работают только с возвратными бутылками, и когда одна из них помещается в машину, вкладчик получает десять пенсов за свои усилия. Есть надежда, что там, где забота об окружающей среде не убедила людей перерабатывать, деньги могут.
3-C УЖАСНОЕ ПРЕСТУПЛЕНИЕ
22-летний Роуэн Питерс вчера была приговорен к шести месяцам тюрьмы в Королевском суде Карлайла. Признанный виновным в поджоге, в результате которого было уничтожено более 1000 гектаров ценных лесов, Петерс продолжал заявлять о своей невиновности. Для большинства людей, собравшихся за пределами суда, приговор Питерса был слишком легким и действительно считался не более чем пощечиной за такой безответственный и опасный поступок.
4-D ГОРДОСТЬ РАЙОНА РАБОТАЕТ
Clydesdale Mews на западе города сверкает этим утром после массивного субботника в выходные местными жителями. Больные и уставшие от мусора, засоряющего их улицы и парки, жители района, многие из которых прожили там всю свою жизнь, решили собраться вместе, чтобы сделать что-то с этим раз и навсегда. В субботнике приняли участие как старые, так и молодые. Когда его спросили об этом, г-н Клайн, пожилой житель, сказал: «Теперь это персонал. Мы всегда любили этот район, и после этих выходных у нас есть еще больше причин для этого. Везде чисто, как в старые добрые времена.»
6-G ПЛОХАЯ ПОГОДА ВПЕРЕДИ
Вчера ураганные ветры пронеслись по районам Флориды, причинив ущерб на миллионы долларов. Домовладельцы в штате жаловались средствам массовой информации, что местное метеорологическое управление и метеорологические станции дали им мало времени для подготовки к урагану. Эксперт по изменению климата Стэн Рен выступил с резким предупреждением о том, что вчерашний ураган был не просто силой Матери-Природы, а продуктом продолжающегося неуважения человека к окружающей среде. Далее он сказал, что мы должны быть готовы к тому, что в будущем нас ожидает еще больше сюрпризов.
7-B УДАЧНОЕ СПАСЕНИЕ
Обеспокоенные сохранением природы бросились в устье реки Святого Стефана поздно вечером после получения сообщений о том, что молодой кит выбросился на берег. Отчаянная ситуация внезапно изменилась в лучшую сторону, когда уровень воды начал подниматься, и киту удалось с помощью зрителей освободиться и уйти в более глубокую воду. Как только его чувство направления вернулось, он развернулся и направился обратно в море. Кажется, что иногда сигналы сонара с лодок могут запутать молодых китов, и они отделяются от своего стручка или семейной группы.
