l be far harder. One of the more conservative plans for addressing
the problem calls for a reduction of 25 billion tons of carbon emissions over the next 52 year. And
yet by devising a consistent strategy that mixes and blends pragmatism(实用主义)with ambition, the U.S. can, without major damage to the economy, help halt the worst effects of climate change and ensure the survival of its way of life for future generations. Money will do some of the work, but what's needed most is will.

With the nation’s financial system teetering on a cliff. The compensation arrangements for
executives of the big banks and other financial firms are coming under close examination again.
Bankers’ excessive risk- taking is a significant cause of this financial crisis and has continued, to
others in the past, in this case, it was fueled by low interest rates and kept going by a false sense of
security created by a debt-fueled bubble in the economy.
Mortgage lenders gladly lent enormous sums to those who could not afford to pay them back
dividing the laws and selling them off to the next financial institution along the chain, advantage of the same high-tech securitization to load on more risky mortgage-based assets.
Financial regulation will have to catch up with the most irresponsible practices that led banks down in this road, in hopes averting the next crisis, which is likely to involve different financial techniques and different sorts of assets. But it is worth examining the root problem of compensation schemesmthat are tied to short-term profits and revenue’s, and thus encourage bankers to take irresponsible risks.

At present, there is no doubt that short message plays an increasingly important role in our
lives . We are all aware that, like everything else, short message have both favorable and
unfavorable aspects.
Generally speaking, the advantages can be listed as follows. First of all, in festivals, we can
send short messages to wish good luck to other people we know. It brings us a lot of convenience. In addition, short message connects its users with the outside world. For example, some people
subscribe weather forecast or news short messages, with them, people’s life will be greatly enriched.
But it is pity that every coin has two sides. The disadvantages of short message can’t be ignored. We spend too much time on spelling our words and sending short messages that we can’t focus on our studies. Also, you will always be annoyed by strangers’ short messages one after another.
As is known to all, short message is neither good nor bad itself. In my opinion, we can use it.
But we shouldn’t spend too much time on it and don’t let it disturb us from our lives.
