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.
Which of the following statements, according to the author, should play the leading role in the solution of environmental problems?
选项
A、Legislation and government intervention.
B、The industry’s understanding and support.
C、The efforts of environmental health professionals.
D、The cooperation of ecologists, environmental activists and conservationists.
答案
C
解析
根据文章第3段,尤其是该段最后一句可知答案为C项。该段第2句话说,Itis our responsibility as professionals in environmental health to make the difference(作为环境与健康方面的专业人员,做得与众不同是我们的责任)。最后一句话说,“it is thoseof us…who must lead the charge”(我们中的一些人必须承担起领头的责任)。其中thoseof us后面有一个定语从句,不难看出those of us即environmental health professionals。
