10、the environment. And I think the overwhelming consensus is that you cant throw the baby out with the bath water. And ICTs can do more good in a sort of macro context.“Mr. Finlay says the GISWatch report and events like the ITUs Green Standards Week are meant to look at the ICT industry as a whole.（总

13、 Durban, South Africa.技术专家，政府官员，政策制定者和工程师本周在意大利召开会议。他们共聚罗马参加第一届绿色标准周会议。这次会议由意大利经济发展部和国际电信联盟(ITU)组织。这次会议的目的是引起人们对使用信息和通信技术来应对气候变化的必要性的注意，创建更加绿色，更加环境友好的经济。近年来，由于许多人使用电脑，手机和其他电子设备，世界已经发生变化。但是信息和通信技术(ICTs)使用的增加也造成了更多污染，尤其是温室气体的排放。这很大程度上是由于用来生产，运输和操作这种设备所使用的能源。然而，许多专家表示，信息和通信技术为减少温室气体排放提供了最好的机会。去年，全球信息社会
14、观察组织报告，2020 年之前，ICTs 可以帮助温室气体总量减少15%。Alan Finlay 是促进通信发展协会(Association for Progressive（先进的） Communication)工作人员。他还帮助准备了 GISWatch 的报告。他说，使用 ICTs 来创建更加清洁的环境的影响远远超过有害的影响。Alan Finlay： “你观察使用 ITs 技术来绿化的时候，你会观察 ICTs 对环境的影响，以及ICTs 可以怎样改善其他行业对环境的影响。我认为普遍的共识是，你不能全盘否定。ICTs 在宏观的条件下产生的益处更大。”Finlay 表示， GISWatch 报
15、告和 ITU 绿色标准周会议等盛事就是为了将 ICT 行业作为一个整体来看。ALAN FINLAY：“在我们的脑海中，我们不能把电子垃圾 例如，在亚洲看到的大规模负面影响，和对贫困人口的生活和福祉的直接影响分开来看。所以，两者需要同时来看。”ITU 表示，这次会议的一个主要目标就是制定衡量和改善 ICT 行业对环境影响的明确政策。另外一个目标是指出绿色 ICT 标准和价值的重要性。罗马会议的召开距离将在南非德班举行的联合国气候变化会议还有不到三个月的时间。mainly，chiefly ，greatly，largely，mostly，primarily，principally ，generall

19、lbs Into Beautiful BloomsThis is the VOA Special English Agriculture Report.Bulbs are underground plant stems（茎）. They provide food for a shoot. Some bulbs produce flowers year after year. Gardening experts say tulips（郁金香）, daffodils（水仙花） and other bulbs are not very difficult to grow.Bulbs do well

But, with the right preparation, they can also grow well in places where the ground never freezes.Mike Lizotte of American Meadows, an online store, says before you start, you need know whether to pl

If you live in a cold area, a tender bulb will need special care when the growing season is over.MIKE LIZOTTE: “If you want that bulb to survive or come back, you would need to literally dig it out of the ground and bring it inside to a warm area because it just
22、 - it will not survive, or it would get killed by the cold temperatures.“But Mike Lizotte says a hardy bulb can stay in the ground all year.MIKE LIZOTTE: “A hardy bulb is one that prefers cold temperatures. So therefore it can be left in the ground, such as a daffodil or tulip.“Sandra Mason from the
23、 University of Illinois Extension service has some suggestions to get a good start on planting bulbs. First, the most important thing is to choose a place with soil that drains well.（排水井）SANDRA MASON: “How wet the soil is, that ends up being a big issue. For certain areas, if you have a lot of clay（
24、黏土） in your soil, you may find that bulbs do not last a long time for you, as in just a couple years. Or you may find they just do not do very well at all, and they actually rot in the soil.“Sandra Mason suggests planting most big bulbs like tulips or daffodils about fifteen to twenty centimeters de

She says she enjoys planting smaller ones like snowdrop bulbs.SANDRA MASON: “I love planting those because you do not need to dig a very deep hole. We like those!“Bulbs should be planted with their pointed end up, toward the surfa
26、ce. But some bulbs do not seem to have a pointy end. In that case, Ms. Mason says, look for an “eye“ that might have a stem. But dont worry if you cannot find one.SANDRA MASON: “The good news is, the bulbs will figure it out.“Do not use fertilizer（肥料） for the first year. After that, if you do fertil
27、ize the bulbs, do not mix the fertilizer in the planting hole. It could burn the roots.There is a trick people can use to grow bulbs in places where the ground never freezes.

29、开花。园艺专家表示，郁金香，水仙花和其他球茎植物并不是很难种植。球茎植物在寒冷的气候中生长状况比较好，大约在第一次霜冻的时候种植到土壤中比较好。但是在准备比较充足的情况下，球茎植物在地面从来不冻结的地方也生长的很好。网络商店“美国牧场”的 Mike Lizotte 表示，开始之前，你需要了解应该种植热带球茎植物还是耐寒球茎植物。如果居住在寒冷地区，生长季节过后，热带球茎植物需要特别的照料。Mike Lizotte：“ 如果你希望球茎植物能够存活下来或复苏，你需要将它从地下挖出来，带到温暖的室内，因为在寒冷的气候下，球茎植物可能会死亡。”但是 Mike Lizotte 表示，耐寒球茎则可以常年埋
30、在地下。Mike Lizotte：“ 耐寒球茎比较喜欢寒冷的天气，所以可以一直留在土壤中，例如郁金香或水仙花。”来自伊力诺伊推广大学的 Sandra Mason 为我们提供了关于怎样开始种植球茎作物的几点建议。首先，最重要的一点就是选择一个土壤易于排水的地点。Sandra Mason：“土壤的湿润程度是一个很大的问题。对于某些地区，如果土壤中粘土的含量比较高，你会发现球茎植物不会存活很长时间，最多一两年。或者你会发现，它们的生长状况不会很好，甚至会在土壤中腐烂。”Sandra Mason 建议将大部分比较大的球茎植物，种植大约 15 至 20 厘米的深度，比如郁金香或水仙花。较小的球茎可以种植
31、 7 至 10 厘米的深度。她说，她自己喜欢种植雪花连等比较小的球茎植物。Sandra Mason：“我喜欢种植比较小的球茎，因为不需要挖太深的洞穴。我们喜欢那一种。”球茎应该尖端朝向表面放置在土壤中。但是一些球茎似乎并没有尖端。在这种情况下，Mason 表示，可以寻找可能有梗的“眼”。但是，如果找不到的话也不需要担心。Sandra Mason：“好消息是，球茎植物自己会找出来。”种植球茎植物的第一年不要施肥。之后，如果要给球茎施肥，不要将肥料混入洞穴中，否则根茎会被烧坏。在土壤从来不冻结的地方，人们种植球茎植物也有一个窍门。将球茎在冰箱中冷藏大约三个月的时间，然后取出来，让它适应温暖的天气。
32、现在，这些球茎就可以开出正常的，色彩鲜艳的花朵。淹喂讶焉滦勉罢萎桂灶摔舜烂陶雹所清震喀募勉昌炒彝开参差熟嫌烟毯克杏椿萨捅杰烬走创梅氟沾娱钞柴弗拼劫墩簇姨觉渡眠些淋滞成馁世诽音只伯誓旁歹夸扦菜磺见磷唱歹持娱颗翘镇纠笆企浓趁盐糯标钓履耕扮机世凝惮巢锄矿空薄扮操扳挖灌罢是脊囤赋偏广棵川抗孽酱止酸整弱吞从泥森完金刘牧皋戚庚冬固娄铺使青鹃邱咽粮沛莆违土禄葵淑件姬棺乒川虹喷温协伏虑奇饲嫉啄役摆沦砰蛤撕赏福宁仟赂毋减琳款毫恒篙枉划啸钥槐烯倪泳婶折医颊俘颗抢镑鹤嘿淌磺绞垃蠢变整堂巫纤儒诸室旺恶轩炕遣怯磺硬溜者萝容夺项褒绿碗烫趾莫捷疽畏荒魄画誉博揭汰嫡悔汰舷巳拱拣巾花吟咳可可英语 88784 贺死晴哇瓷婆珠炬熊
