18、r are all much better for the climate than fossil fuels.It is true for wind and solar.However,the picture for hydropower is more complicated than we think.A new study by the Environmental Defense Fund analyzed the climate impacts of 1,500 hydropower facilities across the globe.That accounts for abou
19、t half of hydropower generation worldwide.The researchers looked at whether the facilities behave as a greenhouse gas sink or as a source.To figure this out,they looked into all the different components that help determine a hydropower facilitys greenhouse gasemissions(排放).“There are so many contrib
20、utors to greenhouse gas emissions from hydropower but essentially,the majority of greenhouse gas emissions arise from the reservoir(水库)itself,as vegetation and soils are submerged underwater in the dam thatis used for the hydropower generation.”said lissa Ocko,a senior climate scientist at the Envir
21、onmental Defense Fund and co-author of the study.As the submerged vegetation breaks down,it releases greenhouse gases such as CO2.“The larger the surface area of the reservoir,the more greenhouse gases are going to be given out from that reservoir.Also,the temperature plays a role as well how warm t

28、 literature is misguided and disadvantageous to students,particularly if they are second language learners of English.However,there are still good reasons for the study of English literature.Students of English language sometimes fail to see the point of studying English literature,especially if the

30、se,this is quite obvious when studying the works of Shakespeare or of writers,poets and playwrights of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.It is,however,also true when studying other works of English literature.Students can learn about good stories and references to different aspects of English
31、culture.They can also learn the context and meanings of famous quotes and phrases.Studying literature does not confine the students to the traditions ofEnglandbut includes the possibility of introducing them to traditions which inform English literature,such as the study of Ancient Greek drama,and t
32、o literature in other contexts,such as American literature.An enjoyment and appreciation of literature will give students the ability to develop this into an interest in books and reading as they move away from their studies and into the adult lives.They will have the confidence to approach and cope
33、 with new forms of books and writing,since they were exposed to a range of literature during their school days.When studying literature,students can learn not only language aspects such as vocabulary items but also the language aspects which can be used for specific purposes.For example,if the stude
34、nts are familiar with the concepts of beat and rhythm of English poems,they can improve their own writing as they are able to appreciate and apply these ideas.Finally,the study of literature can provide students with a fresh and creative angle,from which the students can approach their studies in pa
35、rticular and their lives in general.So the next time you are reading a newspaper article complaining of the lack of creativity and initiative in the local workforce,remember that in a small way the study of English literature can help to add a refreshing and further dimension to a persons life.12.Th
