Sustainable Farming against Deserts D.Planting Trees for moneyCAs one of the biggest: topics of the last decade, sustainability has become the beacon（灯塔）o hope to protect the planet.From supermarkets taking action on plastic packaging to the zero was to movement that can be practised from your kitchen, changes made by individuals and organizations across the globe have had an impact on the way we think, shop and live.So what does that mean for the world of technology? You'd be forgiven for thinking that the words "sustainable" and "technology” don't usually go hand in hand.E-waste is, after all, one of tho planets biggest contributing waste streams.Not only that, but the materials that go into technology products are also part of the problem.But with a challenge comes an opportunity, and there's already some brilliant progress happening-great news for those of us wanting to be more sustainable with our technology. Firstly renewed products are having its moment. While consumers would previously turn their noses up the idea of a second-hand device,there!s been a huge surge in demand for renewed technology, products.The second major step in tackling the problem of e-waste is a change in attitudes from owning a product to subscribing for one. A subscription for a smartphone might sound like a foreign concept,but it's already gaining momentum. At the forefront of this movement is a London-base technology startup, which offers a subscription service for the latest smartphones. As customer arenft paying to own the phone at the end of their contract,the monthly price is significantly low than average.Studies show that extending a phone*s lifespan from one to four years can decrease environmental impact by about 40%.So the next time it comes to refreshing your device-whether a smartphone, laptop, tablet or something else-consider the more environmentally friendly options that are at your fingertips.7.

By replacing the old one with the latest.DMany people believe that working to the maximum is the secret to success, but research has found that moderation（适度）also gets results on the job.In a study led by Ellen Langer of Harvard University,researchers asked people to translate sentences into a new a made-up language.Subjects who practiced the language moderately beforehand made fewer errors than those who practiced extensively or not at all.High levels of knowledge can make people too attached to traditional ways of viewing problems across fields the arts, sciences, and politics. High conscientiousness is related to lower job performance, especially in simple jobs where it doesn't pay to be a perfectionist.How long we stay on the clock and how we spend that time are under careful examination in many workplaces, The young banker who eats lunch at his desk is probably seen as a go-getter, while his colleagues who chat over a relaxed conference-room meal get dirty looks from the corner office/Teople from cultures that value relationships more than ours does are shocked by the thought of eating alone in front of a computer,9says Art Markman,a professor of psychology at the University of Texas,Austin.Social interaction has been shown to lif mood and get people thinking in new directions and in ways that could help improve any post-lunch effortMarkman also promotes off-task time/Tart of being a good thinker is experiencing things that are seemingly unrelated to what you are working on at the moment but give you fresh ideas about your work/ he says. "Also, there is a lot of research showing that a positive mood leads to higher levels of productivity and creativity.So,when people do things to increase their life satisfaction they also make themselves more effective at work.”What does Ellen Langer's study show?A. It is worthwhile to be a perfectionist.B. Translation makes people knowledgeable.C. Simpler jobs require greater caution.D. Moderate effort produces the best result.12.
