A red light will nt attract insects,but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings als have favrite clrs. Yet we are lucky. With the aid f the cnes in ur eyes we can see many beautiful clrs by day,and with the aid f the rds we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn mre abut the invisible clrs arund us.

But it’s never been mre imprtant t find cntinuing quiet. Silence fcuses us,imprves ur health,and is a key t lasting peace and satisfactin.
We need t excite peple abut the sunds yu start t hear if yu merely quiet things dwn a little. During a Japanese tea ceremny,the smallest sunds becme a kind f art—the spns making a light ringing sund n a bwl,the edges f a kimn(和服)brushing against the flr.
Deaf peple are very attentive(專注的) in almst every aspect f life. If tw deaf peple are walking tgether,using sign language,they cnstantly watch ut fr each ther and prtect each ther by paying steady attentin t the ther. They are cnnected yet als fully aware f their surrundings. Even deaf teenagers!We in the hearing wrld can learn frm them. If we remve the pwerful blasts(一陣陣) f nise,we becme aware f an extrardinarily rich wrld arund us—f little sft sunds and the sund f ftsteps,f bird sngs and ice cracking(開裂聲). It’s astnishing hw beautiful things sund when yu can really listen.”

As the railrads and the highways shaped the American West in the past centuries, a new electrical generating (發(fā)電) and transmissin (輸送) system fr the 21st century will leave a lasting mark n the West, fr better r wrse. Much f the real significance f railrads and highways is nt in their direct physical effect n the scenery, but in the ways that they affect the surrunding cmmunity. The same is true f big slar plants and the pwer lines that will be laid dwn t mve electricity arund.
The 19th century saw land grants (政府撥地) ffered t railrad cmpanies t build the transcntinental railrads, leaving public land in between privately wned land. In much f the West, sme f the railrad sectins were develped while thers remained undevelped, and in bth cases the landwnership has presented unique challenges t land management. With the cmpletin f the interstate highway system, many f the small twns, which sprang up as railway stps and develped well, have lst their lifebld and died.
Big slar plants and their pwer lines will als have effects far beynd their direct ftprint in the West. This is nt an argument against building them. We need alternative energy badly, and t really take advantage f it we need t be able t mve electricity arund far mre readily than we can nw.
S trade-ffs will have t be made. Sme scenic spts will be sacrificed. Sme species (物種) will be frced t mve, r will be carefully mved t special accmmdatins. Deals will be struck t reduce the immediate effects.
The lasting effects f these trade-ffs are anther matter. The 21st century develpment f the American West as an ideal place fr alternative energy is ging t thrw ff a lt f pwer and mney in the regin. There are chances fr that pwer and mney t d a lt f gd. But it is just as likely that they will be spent wastefully and will leave new prblems behind, just like the railrads and the highways.
The mney set aside in negtiated trade-ffs and the institutins that cntrl it will shape the West far beynd the immediate ftprint f pwer plants and transmissin lines. S let’s remember the effects f the railrads and the highways as we cnstruct these new pwer plants in the West.
1. What was the prblem caused by the cnstructin f the railways?
A. Small twns alng the railways became abandned.
B. Sme railrad stps remained underused.
C. Land in the West was hard t manage.
D. Land grants went int private hands.
2. What is the majr cncern in the develpment f alternative energy accrding t the
last tw paragraphs?
A. The transmissin f pwer.
B. The use f mney and pwer.
C. The cnservatin f slar energy.
D. The selectin f an ideal place.
3. What is the authr’s attitude twards building slar plants?
A. Cautius. B. Apprving. C. Dubtful. D. Disapprving.
4. Which is the best title fr the passage?
A. Hw the Railways Have Affected the West
B. Hw Slar Energy Culd Reshape the West
C. Hw the Effects f Pwer Plants Can Be Reduced
