11、 each produce a methane equivalent of one ton of carbon dioxide a year. That makes them collectively one of the Australias biggest emitters of greenhouse gases.

C Most people watching Jeremy Lin these past two months saw Jeremy Lin, New York Knicks star; but I, watching him, saw someone else. That was my elder brother, Bob, who

20、is athletic and energetic. He could never sit still when he was in second grade; he had to get up every now and then and run around the room.

31、onstant smoker?
