13、考译文：在美国犹他州东部矿藏丰富的地区，人们世代以煤炭为生。采煤世家自豪地回想他们常年在地下辛勤劳动的岁月。镇上街道两旁，物资补给商店林立。通往煤矿蜿蜒的道路上方矗立着广告牌，上面写着“煤炭=就业”的标语，一位满脸煤灰的矿工往外观望。（5分）然而，最近人们已开始担心。该州运营最久的燃煤电厂建在离镇不远的峡谷之中，近来已确定关闭，因为要执行更严格的联邦污染治理新条例。（5分）由于能源公司弃用煤炭而改用更清洁、更廉价的天然气，当地人越来越担心他们这个社区不久就会消失。加朋电厂有数十位工人已获悉，他们必须提前退休，或转行。当地的货运和设备公司也准备从别的地方承揽业务。（5分）“许多人都在发愁，”凯尔
