听力原文： American researchers say cutting down trees in snow regions might help counter the effects of global warming. The findings highlight the complexity of the planet as it'd previously been understood that mass deforestation contributed to global warming. It's been a woe cry for environmentalists in recent years "Mass deforestation contributes to global warming." But that argument may now have to be revised. Scientists in the United States have run a simulation of the effects of large-scale clearing. And they find that if trees were to be cut down in the icy northern regions, it would actually cool down the Earth. The reason: snow reflects sunlight and the great pine forests of Russia, Europe and Canada shade tens of thousands of hectares of reflective snow.
What might help control global warming according to American researchers？
A million motorists leave their cars filled up with petrol and with the keys in the ignition every day. The vehicles are sitting in petrol stations while drivers pay for their fuel. The Automobile Association (AA) has discovered that cars are left unattended for an average three minutes—and sometimes considerably longer—as drivers buy drinks, sweets, cigarettes and other consumer items—and then pay at the cash till. With payment by credit card more and more common, it is not unusual for a driver to be out of his car for as long as six minutes, providing the car thief with a golden opportunity.
In an exclusive AA survey, carried out at a busy garage on a main road out of London, 300 motorists were questioned over three days of the holiday period. Twenty four percent admitted that they "always" or "sometimes" leave the keys in their cars. This means that nationwide, a million cars daily become easy targets for the opportunist thief.
For more than ten years there has been a bigger rise in car crime than in most other types of crime. An average of more than two cars a minute are broken into, vandalized or stolen in the UK. Car crime accounts for almost a third of all reported offences with no signs that the trend is slowing down.
Although there are highly professional criminals involved in car theft, almost 90 percent of car crime is committed by the opportunist. Amateur thieves are aided by our own carelessness. When AA engineers surveyed on town center car park last year, ten percent of the cars checked were unlocked, a figure backed by a Home Office national survey that found 12 percent of drivers sometimes left their cars unlocked. The AA recommends locking up whenever you leave the car—and for however short a period. A partially open sun-roof or window is a further come-on to thieves.
There are many other traps to avoid. The Home Office has found little awareness among drivers about safe parking. Most motorists questioned made no efforts to avoid parking in quiet spots away from street lights—just the places thieves love. The AA advises drivers to park in places with people around—thieves don't like audiences. Leaving valuables in view is an invitation to the criminals. A Manchester probationary service research project, which interviewed almost 100 car thieves last year, found many would investigate a coat thrown on a seat. Never leave any documents showing your home address in the car. If you have a garage, use it and lock it—a garaged car is at substantially less risk.
