While the global average carbon footprint is about metric tons per personeach year, Americans contribute approximately 20 metric tons of greenhouse gas per person eachyear. Compared to other countries, even those who use the least amount of energy in the US forexample, person who lives off the grid still contribute double the carbon emissions than theglobal average per person. And, not surprisingly, person's carbon footprint increases in size as hisor her income increases. So, the less you spend, the more environmentally friendly you are. How is it possible that people in the US who live simple lifestyles, e.g., children or thehomeless, make such large contributions to greenhouse gas emissions? The answer is simple: EachUS citizen has access to various basic government services such as firefighting and policedepartments, road and bridge repair, libraries, jails and prisons, the military, etc. When these publicservices are divided equally among the entire US population, it significantly raises the carbonfootprint per person. In fact, according to study conducted by the Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology, the lowest carbon footprint that can be calculated for person living in the US is 8.5metric tons. And shockingly, this carbon footprint corresponds to homeless person who sleeps inpublic shelters and eats in soup kitchens. While it is admirable to make changes in lifestyle toreduce carbon footprint, in reality, it is very difficult to do. The MIT study revealed that a" rebound effect " occurred when someone made an effort to reduce his or her carbon footprint.Take the example of person who made the deliberate choice to buy hybrid car instead of largeSUV to save money on gas costs. Very often that person would use the money he or she saved to dosomething else, e.g., take long airplane trip. In this ease, just one long airplane trip produces moreCO2 emissions than driving the large SUV for year. This ends up having negative impact on aperson's carbon footprint by making it bigger! Can Americans reduce their carbon footprints? According to the study, it is possible, but itwould require lifestyle changes such as giving up long-distance travel and buying fewersmartphones, tablets, and MP3 players that have large energy costs to produce and deliver. The most drastic way to lower the average American's US carbon footprint is to add CO2 taxon food, housing, and transportation, and most Americans don't want their taxes raised. Unless wecan find way to reduce our carbon footprints, the price we may ultimately have to pay is muchhigher than the amount Americans will ever have to pay in taxes.[Fron AMERICAN ENGLISH FILE 4, Workbook 2nd Edition, Oxford 2015]Question 16 The idiom lives off the grid is closest in meaning to ________.A. leads an independent life B. does not use public utilities such as water, electricity,… C. does not pay taxes D. does not have jobQuestion 17 person who lives simple lifestyle in the US has high carbon footprint because ________.A. the CO2 footprint calculation is not divided equally among all US citizens.B. he or she has access to public services paid for by the government.C. he or she can’t pay tax to offset his or her carbon footprint.D. he or she lives off the gridQuestion 18 Americans with the lowest carbon footprints are usually ________.A. people who serve as soldiers.

One team of salvagers, for instance, searched the wreck of theRMS Republic, which sank outside the Boston harbor in 1900. The search party, using side-scansonar, device that projects sound waves across the ocean bottom and produces profile of the seafloor, located the wreck in just two and half days. Before the use of this new technology, suchsearches could take months or years. The team of divers searched the wreck for two months, findingsilver tea services crystal dinnerware, and thousands of bottles of wine, but they did not find thefive and half tons of American Gold Eagle coins they were searching for.Preservationists focus on the historic value of ship. They say that even if shipwreck'streasure does not have high monetary value, it can be an invaluable source of historic artifacts thatare preserved in nearly mint condition. But once salvage team has scoured site, much of thearchaeological value is lost. Maritime archaeologists who are preservationists worry that thesuccess of salvagers will attract more treasure-hunting expeditions and thus threaten remainingundiscovered wrecks.
