Household devices waste a lot of energy
Electrical devices such as CD players, videos and burglar alarms are consuming more energy-by mode than when they are actually being used．
Marla Sanchez and her colleagues from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Berkeley, California tested more than 50 small electrical appliances, from computers to doorbells, electric movers, VCRs, and pool pumps．In the current issue of Energy Policy, they report that about half of all consumer electronic energy is used in stand-by mode．This costs American consumers ＄1 billion a year in wasted energy．
The researchers say that while electronic devices are lying dormant(休眠狀態)，running their clocks, maintaining internal memories or displaying their settings, they consume around 40 terawatt hours of electricity in the US every year－enough to power a city such as Chicago or London．Many machines use almost as much power on stand-by as when working．For example, it takes 15 watts to play a typical CD, but an average of 11 watts to keep it on stand-by．Satellite TV systems use 14 watts when active and 14 watts on stand-by．Given the long hours these systems spend idling, each uses far more power in stand-by mode than when actually working．
Bad design is largely to blame, says Sanchez．In a separate survey of CD players last year, her colleague Wolfgang Huber found that two machines with similar features used 28 watts and 2 watts respectively on stand-by．“For most products, we believe that stand-by power can be reduced to one watt or less,”says Sanchez．
She backs proposals to set up a national labeling system to promote machines that meet this standard．Such a system could reduce stand-by power consumption in the US by 50 per cent, says co-author Alan Meier-more than 20 terawatt hours per year．Last month, electronics company Philips announced the launch of a device that can dramatically reduce the power used in stand-by mode．
閱讀短文，從所給的6個選項中選擇4個正確選項，分別完成每個句子(其中有兩個是多余的)。
(________)1．The energy wasted by the electronic devices in the US is sufficient to ________．
(________)2．It is found that power waste is mainly caused by ________．

(________)4．Para．4 is mainly about ________．
A．factors leading to energy waste
B．the total energy of the country
C．power a large city

President Barack Obama's speeches are proving a best-seller in Japan -- as an aid to learning English. An English-language textbook, "The Speeches of Barack Obama," has sold more than 400,000 copies in two months, a big hit in a country where few hit novels sell more than a million copies a year.
Japanese have a fervor for learning English and many bookstores have a corner dedicated (專門用于) to dozens of journals in the language, many of them now featuring the new U.S. leader's face.
"Speeches by presidents and presidential candidates(候選人) are excellent as listening tools to learn English. Obama's are especially so. His speeches are so moving, and he also uses words such as 'yes, we can,' 'change' and 'hope' that even Japanese people can memorize," said Yuzo Yamamoto of Asahi Press, which produced the best-selling text book.
Speeches by George W. Bush and former nominee(提名) John Kerry's four years ago did not have the same interest, however, and nor do those made by Japanese politicians. “We have to turn to a foreign president for someone in whom to place our hopes”, Yamamoto said.
The 95-page paperback features Obama's speeches in English from the 2004 Democratic National Convention and during the Democratic Party primaries(初選), in which he defeated Hillary Clinton. They are accompanied by Japanese translations.
The 1,050 yen ($12) book, which includes a CD of the speeches, tops the bestseller list on bookseller Amazon's Japanese Website, http://www.amazon.co.jp/. He said lawmakers from Japan's main opposition Democratic Party had bought the book to study Obama's speeches.
Following Obama's inauguration(就職典禮), Asahi Press plans to issue a sequel(續集) that includes his inaugural address, as well as President John F. Kennedy's 1961 inaugural speech. It will also feature a reading of President Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg address of 1863.
64. Speeches by presidents and presidential candidates are excellent as listening tools to learn English because ________.
the speakers are all great
B. the speakers have high speech skills
C. the language is full of humor
D. the contents are good and the words are easy to catch
Why do Japanese place their hopes in a foreign president?
A. Because they don’t have politicians who have such a positive influence.
B. Because they have the same attitude as the foreign presidents.
C. Because they have never made a political speech.
D. Because they hope to have a foreigner as their leader.
Which is true about “The Speeches of Barack Obama”?
A. It contains all Obama’s speeches .
B. It has 1,050 pages with a CD.
C. It includes his inaugural address.
D. It is an especially popular book in Japan.
Which of the following can best describe the main idea of the passage?
A. Japan speaks highly of Obama president .
B. Japan learns English from Obama speeches textbook .
C. Obama gains his fame from his election speeches.
D. Obama gives Japanese speeches on how to learn English.
