问答题Few peoples are as proud of their uniqueness as are the Chinese. (46) Many feel the same way about one of their national emblems: the South China tiger, so two Americans who have questioned its pedigree have created quite a stir. In 2004 Stephen O'Brien, head of genetics at the National Cancer Institute in Maryland, published the results of a 20-year study into the species. His findings concluded that of the five beasts he sampled, labelled in the Chinese zoos where they were kept as South China tigers, only two were of "unique lineage". Three were no different genetically from the Indochinese tiger, a separate sub-species endemic to Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia, Thailand and Laos. His study has great bearing on the animal's future. Hunted to the brink of extinction during Mao Zedong's "anti-pest" campaigns, the South China tiger is the rarest of five tiger sub-species, and there have been no confirmed sightings in the wild for more than 30 years. Many experts think the 68 now kept in Chinese zoos and research centres are the only ones left. (47) These survivors are all the progeny of just two males and four females, and display the lowered fertility and above-average infant mortality that goes with inbreeding. Mr. O'Brien's findings are good news for Ronald Tilson, a conservationist, who advises a national programme to reintroduce the beast into the wild. He recommends setting up two massive reserves in the provinces of Hunan and Guangdong. (48) He now thinks it will be easier to find "free-ranging, healthy, reproducing tigers" to fill them, because there should be no objection to introducing Indochinese specimens into the incest-ridden breeding stock. Mr. Tilson first made himself unpopular with his hosts in 2001. After leading officers from the State Forestry Administration (SFA) on a census of wild South China tigers, he declared that none was left. (49) Many Chinese will take no less kindly to being told the tiger is an undistinguished mongrel, and that miscegenation is the way forward. The SFA's Wang Weisheng, for example, angrily denies that the South China tiger is extinct in the wild. He cites the example of the Père David's deer. At one time, fewer than 20 of this Chinese ungulate survived—all in the grounds of an English stately home. After a successful breeding programme, thousands now live in Chinese reserves. Yet neither Mr. Wang nor any other Chinese official denies that the South China tiger urgently needs new blood. (50) At a conference last November, Wang Xingjin, of Guangzhou Zoo's South China Tiger Research Programme, admitted the South China tiger was "very probably" extinct in the wild and will certainly disappear, "unless we can find a wild tiger to enter the breeding pool. "

Over the last 20 years, energy systems and services have
expanded. California now meets its energy needs using a variety of sources from
traditional fossil fuels and nuclear technologies to renewable energy resources,
such as wind, solar, geothermal and biomass. Technological advances and
government standards and programs have resulted in increased energy efficiency,
more product and service options and a cleaner environment. Deregulation has
promoted competition in energy commodities such as oil, natural gas and, now,
electricity. In the near term, the most dramatic changes in the
energy sector are taking place in the electricity industry. As a result of
Assembly Bill 1890 (Chapter 854, Statutes of 1996), many Californians will have
the opportunity to choose their electricity provider as of April 1, 1998. By
January 1, 1999, they will also be able to shop for other electric services,
such as metering options. 46){{U}}Because of these changes, this California Energy
Plan emphasizes the new competition in electricity generation, in contrast to
the discussion of issues in the petroleum and natural .gas sectors. However
future state energy policy may emphasize other sectors.{{/U}}
Competitive Energy Markets. California's energy oversight agencies must
facilitate competition to ensure that the promise of lower prices and more
value-added services are realized. 47){{U}}This can be achieved through adoption
and enforcement of fair, clear and effective market rules and by ensuring that
consumers are provided with sufficient information to make informed
energy-related decisions{{/U}}, Government must also reduce unnecessary barriers
to market entry and streamline the licensing process for electric generation
facilities. Economic Expansion. California has one of the
largest economies in the world. 48){{U}}Consequently, California's economy must be
robust in the face of uncertainty, providing for economic growth in conjunction
with environmental protection for today and for future generations{{/U}}.
Maintaining the energy needs of today's economy requires vast quantities of
reliable energy at reasonable prices. To maintain or expand California's
excellence as a world class economy requires technological advancements that
enhance productivity and improve the environment. In the energy
industry, technological advancement must focus on increasing, demand and supply
side efficiencies, improving the environment by creating cleaner energy
conversion technologies at all levels of energy production and end use, and
satisfying California's mobility requirements through diverse transportation
technologies that increase fuel economy, take advantage of cleaner fuels and
expand transportation options. 49){{U}}Advancements in-these areas, among others,
will make California a global leader in the world marketplace for energy
technologies while benefiting all Californians.{{/U}} Public
Interest. Competition does not provide all the answers to California's needs.
Unlike certain commodities, energy is essential for the health and safety of all
Californians. Thus, the state must ensure that the energy infrastructure is
safe, clean and reliable. The public interest also demands that energy be
available for home, work, recreation and transportation. 50){{U}}Communities can
help meet these public interest demands through efficient land use designs that
reduce total energy demand and the adverse environmental impacts of energy
use{{/U}}. California's energy oversight agencies must continue to work together
to avoid, where possible, disruptions to the state's energy supplies and to
minimize any adverse impacts.
问答题The finding is contrary to the common belief that all people are motivated to alleviate negative moods, according to Jonathon Brown, a University of Washington psychologist. 46) "Many people with low self-esteem believe sadness is part of life and that you shouldn't try to get rid of it~ while people with high self-esteem believe in doing something to feel better if they have a negative experience or get in a bad mood." said Brown. The researchers conducted five studies involving nearly 900 people. 47) In the key experiment, the researchers created a sad mood by having subjects listen to music and found that people with low self-esteem were significantly less likely than people with high self-esteem to select a comedy video from among six tapes to break their mood. "People with low self-esteem feel resignation because they question whether anything will help and say 'I'm not good at breaking or changing a mood' ," Brown said. "They also believe sadness is not something you get rid of and that you learn and grow from sadness. They feel it is not appropriate to try to change a mood. These are not people who would necessarily go to the movies or shopping to feel better. " There are things that people with low self-esteem can do to snap a negative mood, according to Brown. 48) "If you have low self-esteem, you should actively try to rise above the sadness and learn that you will feel better if you do not passively accept sadness. You can get better if you remind yourself to do something. You may have to kick yourself in the butt to go to a movie because it will require a conscious effort rather than something that comes automatically," he said. The other four studies reinforced the idea that low self-esteem people are less motivated to change a negative mood. The initial study asked students to record in a diary a positive or negative experience that happened to them in the next 7 to 10 days and what they did afterwards. 49) The second study found that people with low self-esteem are equally knowledgeable as those with high self-esteem about strategies to repair negative moods. The final two studies asked people about their experiences when they were in a negative mood. 50) Those with high self-esteem were more likely to express the need to do something to change the mood and less likely to recall instances when they didn't find a way to improve their mood. Those with low self-esteem, however, were more likely to say such moods are acceptable and that they couldn't change a mood even if they tried. They also were more likely to say that negative moods sapped their energy.
