A、to G)given below. Mark your answers onANSWER SHEET 1.Mikhil Jaisinghani: After reading your article "The TruthAbout Global Warming" , I’’m no less concerned about the earth’’s environmental condition. You say "Scientists are still differing with huge gaps in their knowledge."But Lindzen, the writer of the article, is no closer to the truth simply because he can criticize. Global warming may be far from understood, but let us act to prevent it anyway, just in case the effects are real.John Leaver:It’’s shameful that you present Lindzen’’s views on climate change as "The TruthAbout Global Warming." It seems that your magazine is keeping an open mind, even though you admit that most climate scientists disagree with Lindzen’’s opinions. You characterize the view that waste gases should be cut as "veryEuropean." I take it that it is veryAmerican to pursue a policy of unlimited energy consumption without considering what most scientists and other countries think.Thomas Hervouet:How can we believe a man who holds that there is only a very weak link between lung cancer and cigarette smoking Lindzen’’s position is unacceptable because it shows his lack of knowledge about cancer. I believe that French President JacquesChirac is more informed on global warming — which no serious scientist denies — than PresidentBush, whose interests depend on the oil industry.Hans-Joachim Hell:What Lindzen says makes sense to me.

A、Even if scientists cannot agree on the numbers, global warming is taking place, and this is not beneficial for the planet. The anti-Kyoto position of the U. S. government is a short-term political move, but the long-term losers will be theAmerican people and the environment.Now match the name of each person (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements[A] Lindzen really has a point to make on global warming.[B]America will pay a price for its shortsightedness some day.[C] Though opinions on global warming vary, we have to do something about it.[D] Lindzen seems unqualified to speak of the effects of global warming on health.[E] You really have an open mind to present Lindzen’’s position on global warming.[F] It’’s good that Lindzen’’s article helps further the discussion on global warming.[G]America’’s attitude toward waste gas control is to be blamed rather thanEurope’’s.
