The Scottish government has raised its target for sourcing electricity from renewable energy by 30 percentage points.
Three years ago，it set out to achieve 50% from green power within 10 years.
But new industry research suggested that the country's renewable energy potential was bigger than thought.
First Minister Alex Salmond has now announced that the government is setting a new target of 80% of electricity from renewables by 2024.
He said: “We are already on the path to a low carbon economy—Scotland gets nearly a quarter of its electricity from green sources.”
“Scotland is ideally placed to help lead the renewables revolution and thinking of the levels of planned investment over the next decade.”
“I believe it is now time to aim higher and to go further.”
An independent analysis was commissioned by Scottish Renewables into the country's renewable energy potential，which includes power drawn from wind，tidal，wave and hydro turbines，and energy from waste.
It said the 2007 target of sourcing 50% of power needs from green sources within 10 years could easily be reached.
It said it should reach 31% by next year，and there are several large projects which have already won approval and will come_on_stream after that.
At a conservative estimate of increased generation and reduced demand，the country could have 81%
renewable electricity within a decade，consultants Garrad Hassan claimed.
With more ambitious assumptions about investment and consumption，renewables could provide 123% of Scotland's power needs.The surplus could be used for exports，requiring improved connectors out of Scotland.

长短句分析：An independent analysis was commissioned by Scottish Renewables into the country's renewable energy potential，which includes power drawn from wind，tidal，wave and hydro turbines，and energy from waste.
句法点睛：这是一个比较复杂的复合句。“into the country's renewable energy potential”为介词短语，修饰analysis，而后面的which引导的定语从句也修饰analysis。
句意：一项独立的对再生能源的潜力的分析由英格兰再生能源组织委托。再生能源的潜力包括从风、潮汐、波浪和水涡中获得的能量，以及从废物中获得的能源。
【语篇解读】 在过去的几年里，苏格兰的绿色能源已经产生了非常好的效果，原来预计的未来十年增长50%将改为80%。分析表明，苏格兰有巨大的绿色能源，如果将来苏格兰产生123%的国家所需能量，他们将把这些绿色能源出口，这将大大改善苏格兰与其他国家的合作。

When you get stuck in a
moment，you
should remember that somewhere out there，someone always comes along with a pocket full of hope.
Yesterday I spent all my coins and dollar bills on little deeds.I had skipped breakfast because I got up late.Because of the mad rush，I forgot my lunch.When I was on my way to buy my lunch，a person in need asked me if I could spare him some cash，so I decided to lend him first.
So，then later in the evening，I was heading home anxiously awaiting dinner.However，I got a call from my mom saying that she was stuck working late and wouldn't be able to prepare dinner for me.Even though there was no food in the house，I told my mom not to worry as I would surely find myself something to munch.
While I was still processing this sudden set of changes in my food options for the day，I passed a young man with a broad smile handing out samples of crackers at a supermarket.He gave me a packet and said，“How about you taking some more for school tomorrow？” In response to that，I returned a warm smile to him and opened up my bag.He gladly filled it with 20 packets.I was excited.
Whether you call it luck or fate，I just wanted to say that somewhere out there somebody came along carrying a pocket of hope in his heart and shared a piece of it with me！Somebody out there will one day do the same for you!

option n．选择 ②cracker n．薄脆饼干 ③fate n．命运
