16、ly 1800s a small farming settlement had been established in the San Luis Valley, but most settlers pushing westward across the Great Plains continued on to the more fertile lands of Oregon, Washington, and California.

In the mid1960s Colorado experienced a large influx (流入) of new

21、residents and rapid urban growth and development. This growth, combined with the areas high altitude, caused pollution problems, most notably smog. The discovery and exploitation of oil created a boom in the 1970s, which collapsed in the early 1980s. Diversifying industry, swelling immigration and a

27、old, fruit, and glass. Imagine that the race does not move forward in just one direction. Instead the runners go back and forth along a road. They trade goods all along this route (路线) and at each end of it. Now imagine that the runners are businessmen. They lead caravans (旅行队) or lines of camels th

However, the Silk Road included many routesnot just one smooth path. The routes ran through mountains and across deserts. They passed through an a

37、of plastic bags has been gaining steamwith over 240 cities and counties passing laws that ban or tax them since 2007 in the US. But these bans may be hurting the environment more than helping it.University of Sydney economist Rebecca Taylor and his colleagues compared cities with the bans with those

38、 without them about the use of bags. For six months, they spent weekends in grocery stores recording the types of bags people carried out.Taylor found these bag bans did what they were supposed to: People in the cities with the bans used fewer plastic bags. But people who used to reuse their shoppin

On top of that, cities that banned plastic bags saw a surge in the use of paper bags, which she thinks resulted in about 80 million pounds of extra paper garbage per year.A bunch of studies find that paper bags a

41、re actually worse for the environment. They require cutting down and processing trees, which needs lots of water, toxic chemicals and fuel.
