Carbon dioxide is released when oil，coal，and other fossil fuels are burned for energy-the energy we use to power our homes，cars，and smartphones.By using less of it，we can limit our own contribution to climate change while also saving money.（1）GG.
Buy energy-efficient appliances
Since they were first set in 1987，efficiency standards for dozens of appliances and products have kept 2.3 billion tons of carbon dioxide out of the air.That's about the same amount as the yearly carbon pollution coughed up by nearly 440 million cars.When shopping for refrigerators，washing machines，and other appliances，look for the Energy Star label.（2）DD.
Reduce water waste
Saving water reduces carbon pollution，too.That's because it takes a lot of energy to pump，heat，and treat your water.（3）AA.Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth.And switch to water-efficient equipment.If one out of every 100 American homes did this，about 100 million kilowatt-hours of electricity per year would be saved，avoiding 80，000 tons of global warming pollution.
（4）BB
Gas-smart cars，such as hybrids and fully electric cars，save fuel and money.And once all cars and light trucks meet 2025's clean car standards（標(biāo)準(zhǔn)），which means averaging 54.5 miles per gallon（加侖），they'll be a mainstay.For good reason：Compared with the 2011 standards，Americans will spend ＄80 billion less at the gas station each year and cut their emissions（排放）by half.Before you buy a new set of wheels，compare fuel-economy performance.
Rethink planes，trains，and cars
Choosing to live in walkable smart-growth cities and towns with quality public transportation leads to less driving，less money spent on fuel，and less pollution in the air.
（5）FF.Air transport is a major source of climate pollution.If you can take a train instead，do that.
A.So take shorter showers
B.Drive a fuel-efficient car
C.Cut down on your water consumption
D.It will tell you which are the most efficient
E.Change only happens when individuals take action
F.Less frequent flying can make a big difference，too
G.Here are some effective ways each one of us can make a difference

3．Dear Laura，
Thanks for letting us to stay at your seaside house． Now， you might have heard from your neighbors about which happened on Saturday evening． When I was out a walk， my younger son， Tom， played football before your house． He made so many noise that the neighbors got quite angrily． Even worse， Tom broke one of the window of Mr． Wilson's house． Tom and I apologized to all the neighbors for the unhappy happenings， but promised to have the broken window repair soon． Tom said that we would not do such silly things any more． I am glad that your neighbors had forgiven us． They are really nice people．
Yours，
