State and city outreach and education programs are helping reduce cycling and walking accidents by raising public
awareness. California and Florida reported holding joint public health 21 with universities and other agencies to
educate the public about walking and cycling safety. Several state and cities reported 22 pamphlets; developing
media advertising campaigns or conducting outreach to some limited English-speaking populations 23 information
on traffic laws and safety.
Many other states and cities are holding regular “bike rodeos” to teach biking and walking safety practices and to
distribute helmets and other safety 24 to participants. Most police agencies reported giving their officers special
training on cyclist and pedestrian safety and laws. 25 , many police departments are now deploying “bike patrols”
using bike-riding officers to patrol downtown areas and heavily trafficked cycling and pedestrian routes.

Today, the Environmental Protection Agency sets and enforces tolerable limits of pollution. It also establishes
timetables to bring polluters into 26 with standards, an important aspect of its work since most of these
requirements are recent and industries must be given reasonable time, often several years, to 27 the new standards.
The EPA also has the 28 to coordinate and support research and anti-pollution efforts of state and local governments,
private and public groups, and educational institutions. Furthermore, regional EPA offices develop, propose, and
implement 29 regional programs for comprehensive environmental protection activities. 30 today the EPA
delegates some responsibilities like monitoring and enforcement to U.S. state governments, it retains the authority to
enforce policy through fines, sanctions, and other measures granted by the federal government.

Environmental science is the study of the interactions between the physical, chemical, and biological
components of nature. As such, it is a multidisciplinary science: it involves a number of disciplines like geology,
hydrology, soil sciences, plant physiology, and ecology. Environmental scientists may have training in more than one
discipline; for example, a geochemist has expertise in both geology and chemistry. Most often, the multidisciplinary
nature of environmental scientists’ work comes from collaborations they foster with other scientists from
complementary research fields.
A Problem-Solving Science
Environmental scientists rarely just study natural systems, but instead usually work towards solving problems
stemming from our interactions with the environment. Normally the basic approach taken by environmental
scientists first involves using data to detect a problem and evaluate its extent. Solutions to the issue are then designed
and implemented. Finally, monitoring is done to determine whether the problem was fixed. Some examples of the
types of projects environmental scientists may be involved with include:
Coordinating cleanup efforts at an abandoned oil refinery labeled as a Superfund site, determining the extent of
the pollution problem and putting together a restoration plan.
Forecasting the effects of global climate change and sea level rise on a coastal bay system, and assisting with
finding solutions to limit damages on coastal wetlands, shoreline property, and public infrastructure.
Consulting with a construction team to help them with minimizing sediment pollution coming from the site of a
future grocery store.
Assisting the managers of a state government’s fleet of vehicles with taking steps to reducing carbon dioxide
and other greenhouse gas emissions.
【題組】33. According to the passage, which project is not the responsibility of an environmental scientist?
(A)Coordinating cleanup efforts at an abandoned oil refinery.
(B)Forecasting the effects of global climate change and sea level rise on a coastal bay system.
(C) Consulting with a construction team to help them with minimizing air pollution.
(D)Assisting with finding solutions to limit damages on coastal wetlands, shoreline property, and public infrastructure.
【題組】35. What kind of approach will environmental scientists take to deal with a problem?
(A)They will use data to locate it, evaluate its extent, design and implement the solutions, and make sure the problem
is solved.
(B)They will use data to detect it, monitor the solutions, and evaluate the situation.
(C) They will detect it first, and collaborate with other scientists to jointly share the responsibility.
(D)They will use data to evaluate the extent of it and take measures to monitor the development.

Emotional Intelligence: Important for Success
Interest in emotion psychology and the concept of emotional intelligence really caught fire with the 1995
publication of Daniel Goleman’s book Emotional Intelligence: Why it can Matter More Than IQ. In the popular book,
Goleman argued that emotional intelligence could be just as important, if not even more so, at predicting success in
life. These emotional competencies, he argued, also played a particularly important role in the workplace.
The concept quickly caught the attention of the public, including human resource managers and business
leaders. Researchers have suggested that emotional intelligence influences how well employees interact with their
colleagues. EQ is also thought to play a role in how workers manage stress and conflict as well as overall
performance on the job.
Studies have shown that employees with higher scores on measures of EQ also tend to be rated higher on
measures of interpersonal functioning, leadership abilities, and stress management. Other studies have linked higher
emotional intelligence with better job satisfaction as well as overall job performance.
Goleman suggested that while traditional intelligence was a quality associated with leadership success, it alone
was not enough. People who are successful at work aren’t just smart - they also have a strong amount of emotional
intelligence.
But emotional intelligence is not something just for CEOs and senior managers. It’s a quality that is important
at every level of a person’s career, whether you are a college student looking for an internship or a seasoned
employee taking on a leadership role. If you want to succeed in the workplace and move up the career ladder,
emotional intelligence is critical to your success.
