Right now, Prince Charles is probably
wishing he had hit the slopes after all. Britain’s Prince of Wales decided last
year to begin reducing his carbon footprint—the amount of carbon dioxide created
by his activities—by cutting down on his flights abroad, including an annual
skiing vacation in Switzerland. Though we should all be in the position to make
such sacrifices, Charles didn’t win plaudits for his holiday martyrdom.
Instead British green groups, seconded by Environment Secretary David
Miliband, spanked the Prince for deciding to fly to the U.S. on Jan. 27 to pick
up a prestigious environmental award, arguing that the carbon emissions created
by his travel canceled out his green cred. It’s too easy to mock His Royal Highness; in England it’s practically the national sport. But his critics may be onto something. Jets are uniquely polluting, an A. (A) the critics feel it an easy task to criticize Britain’s Prince Charles B. (B) the critics belong to British green groups C. (C) the critics are right in pointing out the critical issue in environmental pollution D. (D) the critics know that long-haul flights emit more carbon dioxide than car driving [单项选择]Right now, Prince Charles is probably wishing he had hit the slopes after all.

That’s not to say bloggers are or aren’t journalists—just that there shouldn’t be a distinction. In other words, the same rules apply to everyone. But—and here’s the tricky part—although the rules apply to people equally, we can, do, and should apply them differently to different acts. Asking whether bloggers are journalists is meaningless. What’s important isn’t the person but the product. If a snoopy 12-year-old girl find evidence that her town’s mayor is taking bribes, then collects it, verifies it, and publishes it on her blog, that’s journalism. If Waiter Cronkite writes in his diary that he planted daisies and washed the dishes that afternoon, that’s not. It’s what’s done, not who’s doing it. This isn’t something that always needed to be pointed out. In the old days, you could draw a line between journalists and everyone else, just as you could draw a line A. bloggers as amateurs are as good as professionals. B. professionals haven’t done anything worth their salt. C. the distinction between journalists and non-journalists is disappearing. D. no rules have been made about the kind of materials published online. 我来回答: 提交
