The destruction of our natural resources and contamination of our food supply continue to occur, largely because of the extreme difficulty in affixing(把......固定)legal responsibility on those who continue to treat our environment with reckless abandon(放任). Attempts to prevent pollution by legislation, economic incentives and friendly persuasion have been met by lawsuits, personal and industrial denial and long delays—not only in accepting responsibility, but more importantly, in doing something about it. It seems that only when government decides it can afford tax incentives or production sacrifices is there any initiative for change. Where is industry’s and our recognition that protecting mankind’s great treasure is the single most important responsibility? If ever there will be time for environmental health professionals to come to the frontlines and provide leadership to solve environmental problems, that time is now.
We are being asked, and, in fact, the public is demanding that we take positive action. It is our responsibility as professionals in environmental health to make the difference. Yes, the ecologists, the environmental activists and the conservationists serve to communicate, stimulate thinking and promote behavioral change. However, it is those of us who are paid to make the decisions to develop, improve and enforce environmental standards, I submit, who must lead the charge.
We must recognize that environmental health issues do not stop at city limits, county lines, state or even federal boundaries. We can no longer afford to be tunnel-visioned in our approach. We must visualize issues from every perspective to make the objective decisions. We must express our views clearly to prevent media distortion and public confusion.
I believe we have a three-part mission for the present. First, we must continue to press for improvements in the quality of life that people can make for themselves. Second, we must investigate and understand the link between environment and health. Third, we must be able to communicate technical information in a form that citizens can understand. If we can accomplish these three goals in this decade, maybe we can finally stop environmental degradation, and not merely hold it back. We will then be able to spend pollution dollars truly on prevention rather than on bandages.
The main task now facing ecologists, environmental activists and conservationists is______.
选项
A、to prevent pollution by legislation, economic incentives and persuasion
B、to arouse public awareness of the importance of environmental protection
C、to take radical measures to control environmental pollution
D、to improve the quality of life by enforcing environmental standards
答案
B
解析
根据第3段、第4段,尤其是第3段第3句、第4段最后一句可知B项正确。有人误选C项,大约是将第3段第1句话的positive(积极的,建设性的)理解为radical(极端的,激进的)。
