Ⅱ.阅读理解
In
their book Time to Eat the Dog: The Real Guide to
Sustainable Living, Robert and Brenda
Vale say
keeping a medium-sized dog has the same ecological
impact as driving 10,000 km a year
in a 4.6
liter Land Cruiser.
“We're not actually
saying it is time to eat the dog. We're just
saying that we need to
think about and know
the ecological impact of some of the things we do
and that we take for
granted.”
Constructing and driving the jeep for a year
requires 0.41 hectares of land, while
growing
and manufacturing a dog's food takes about 0.84
hectares—or 1.1 hectares in the case of
a
large dog such as a German shepherd.
Convincing flesh-eating cats and dogs to go
vegetarian for the sake of the planet is a
non-starter, the Vales say. Instead they
recommend keeping “greener”， smaller, and more
sustainable pets, such as goldfish, chickens
or rabbits.
The book's playful title, and
serious suggestion that pet animals may be
usefully
“recycled”， by being eaten by their
owners or turned into pet food when they die, may
not
appeal to animal fans.
Annoying as the
idea may be, the question is valid given the
planet's growing population and
limited
resources, Robert Vale said.
“Issues
about sustainability are increasingly becoming
things that are going to require
us to make
choices which are as difficult as eating your dog.
It's not just about changing your light
bulbs
or taking a cloth bag to the supermarket，” he
said.
“It's about much more challenging
and difficult issues，” he added. “Once you see
where cats and dogs fit in your overall
balance of things, you might decide to have the
cat but not
also to have the two cars and the
three bathrooms and be a meat eater yourself.”

book the playful title to ________.
A. make it

people's concern
17. In Paragraph 3 the writer
mainly wants to tell us ________.
A. the
amount of consumed land
B. the neglected
ecological impact
C. some familiar examples
D. some actual figures
18. Who may not
like the idea of “recycling” pet animals?
A. Manufacturers. B. Drivers.
C. Animal fans. D. The authorities.
19. What do the authors think of living a
sustainable life?
A. Challenging.
B. Inspiring.
