單項選擇題
1、回答題：
        If you are trying to do your bit for sustainability and save water by taking shorter showers, then a new report on sustainability reveals for the first time that there are more effective ways that our everyday choices can have a positive impact on the environment.
        For example, the glass of juice you have for breakfast might have used the same amount of water in its production as the amount you have just saved by cutting your shower from 10 to 5 minutes. The milk on your cereal might have used even more.
        Balancing Act, a world first that has been developed for the Australia economy by scientists from CSIRO (澳大利亞聯邦科學月工業研究組織) and the University of Sydney, looks across 135 industry sectors of the Australian economy and quantifies the impacts and contributions across ten social, environmental, and financial indicators.
Report co-author CSIRO scientist, Barney Foran, says that sustainability for Australia is a balancing act as we try to make decisions and trade-offs in the face of often-competing economic, social and environmental attributes.
        "We still need to eat and shower—and it is still worth taking shorter showers to save our stressed urban water supplies—but now consumers have a new tool to help us make more informed choices about different types of products based on a new sustainability rating," says Foran.
        Different to other studies because of its detailed observation of the full production chain, this report is able to show the full effects--both direct and indirect  of the production of an individual conunodity or serwce, cappuccinos( 卡布奇諾咖啡 )or haircuts.  It highlights sustainability challenges for different industries and points out areas in the production chain where a focused effort would make a significant difference.
        All effects are referenced back to a consumption dollar  roughly the dollar spent by a consumer in everyday life. It also shows that each consumption dollar is quite different-some dollars are positive and create employment, or suck in imports or generate government revenue. Other consumption dollars are less positive through their high use of water or production of greenhouse gas emissions.
        This relatively simple presentation of highly complex issues makes this a powerful tool for people who are interested in sustainability to move beyond decisions based on dollars and cents and enables them to make decisions based on a contribution to society, environment, and economy.

The new report on sustainability ________.
A．suggests that saving water by raking shorter showers is ineffective
B．provides more effective daily ways that can protect environment
C．indicates that drinking juice wastes more water than taking long shower
D．reveals that milk uses more water in its production than juice does

3、“抱抱團”(Free HuggerS)是一項公益行為藝術活動，源于國外。它通過在街頭宣傳，與主動上前的陌生人擁抱的形式，向社會傳遞“拒絕冷漠”、“互相關愛”的主題。  “抱抱團”的行為受到了眾人的關注，也引起了許多的爭議。有人認為，街頭擁抱拉近了陌生人之間的感情；也有人認為，僅靠這種活動消除不了陌生人之間的冷漠，況且中國人比較含蓄，采取這樣的形式有作秀之嫌(pub |i．c j ty stunt)。
