April 22 is Earth Day. Everyone on Earth should care about and protect the earth!
The earth has warmed by about 1°F (華氏度) over the past 100 years, but why and how?
Well, scientists are not quite sure. Maybe the earth gets warmer and warmer on its own. But many scientists say that people are doing many things which makes the earth warmer.
First, greenhouse effect (溫室效應(yīng)) is a very important reason for the change of the earth. People give out too much energy into the air every year. It makes the earth warmer. Climate (氣候) change is another important reason. Sometimes it becomes too hot and sometimes too cold. Sometimes there is too much rain and sometimes too little. The change of the climate makes the earth warmer. In turn, the warmth of the earth changes the climate, too.
When the earth becomes warmer, there may be more rain and a rise in sea level. It will affect the growth of plants, animals and people. On a Pacific island, 100 people have to move to higher ground because the sea is rising. These people can no longer live on the coast. Before that, two islands without people went underwater in 1999. Scientists say that the seas can rise by nearly one metre by 2100.
People can affect the earth's air, land and water. As for us, we can do many things to protect the earth. For example, we can use fridges less. We can tell more people about protecting the earth.
【小題1】Earth Day is probably set for people to ______.

A．learn more about the earthB．make full use of the earth
C．take better care of the earth.D．study the warmth of the earth
【小題2】We can infer (推斷) from the passage that the reasons for the warmer earth are
______ now.
A．not very clear B．completely secretC．well knownD．not given yet
【小題3】Greenhouse effect comes from______.
A．sea risingB．climate changeC．nature's unbalanceD．people's activity
【小題4】The passage mainly tells us that ______.
A．there is more rain nowB．we should protect the earth
C．we must stop pollutionD．sea level is getting higher


【小題1】C
【小題2】A
【小題3】D
【小題4】B

Jeff Keith has only one leg. When he was 12 years old, Jeff had cancer. Doctors had to cut off most of his right leg. Every day Jeff puts on an artificial(man-made) leg. The leg was plastic. With the plastic leg, Jeff can ski, ride a bicycle, swim and play soccer. He can also run.
When he was 22 years old, Jeff Keith ran across the United States, from the East to the West. He started running in Boston on April 1. He stopped running in Los Angeles. He ran 5,190 kilometres; that’s about 26 kilometres each day. Jeff wore out 36 pairs of running shoes and five plastic legs.
Jeff stopped in cities on the way to Los Angeles. In every city people gave Jeff money. The money was not for Jeff. It was for the American Cancer Society. The American Cancer Society used the money to learn about cancer.
On the way to Los Angeles, Jeff talked to people about cancer. He also talked about being disabled. Jeff is disabled, but he can do many things: he skis, swims, plays soccer, and runs. He finished college and is studying to be a lawyer. Jeff says, “People can do anything they want to do. I want people to know that. I ran not only for disabled people. I ran for everybody.”

The world is not only hungry but also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 70%of the earth's surface is covered with water. But about 97%of that is sea water or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3%of fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground and so on. And we can not even use all of that because some of it has been made dirty.

　 Earth Day is April 22. But on all other days, we must also remember how important water is. The water that we use is the most important natural resource on the earth. Today we face serious water problems. One of them is water pollution. All kinds of things from cars, factories, farms and homes make our rivers, lakes and oceans dirty. Polluted water is very bad for people to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish, too.

　 How do cars and factories make our water dirty? First they pollute the air. Then when it rains, the rain water makes our drinking water dirty. Dirty rain, called acid rain（酸雨）, is also bad for plants, animals and buildings. Scientists say that in 30 years, more than half of the people in the world won't have enough dean water. We have to learn how to stop wasting water. One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it. Today in most large cities, water i~ used only once and then sere out into a sewer system（下水道）. From there it returns to the sea or goes underground.

　 But even though every large city reused its water, we would still not have enough. So we should make use of sea water by removing the salt in it. If we can take these steps, fresh water won't be used up.

1. The world is thirsty for water because______.

A．we don't have enough fresh water

B．a(chǎn) lot of water goes into sewer systems

C．only 70% of the earth's surface is water

D．sea water is widely used rather than fresh water

2. The underlined word "face" means"______".

A．turn the face down　　　　　　　　　　　B．turn the face up

C．turn the face to　　　　　　　　　 　　　　 D．turn the face back

3. From this passage, we know acid rain________.

A．is only bad for living things

B．is not bad for buildings and factories

C．can be produced in factories

D．is bad for people, animals, plants and buildings

4. One difficult way we can solve the problem is to ______.

A．use the water with salt in it　　　 　　　　　　　　　 B．remove the salt from sea water

C．get water from underground　　　 　　　　　　　　 D．reuse the water in cities

5. What is the best title for this passage?

A．Fresh water and sea water　　　　 　　　　　　　　 B．A thirsty country

C．The importance of water　　　　　 　　　　　　　　 D．The world's water problem

Dear Ben,

     Earth Day is coming in a week． Are you doing anything for Earth Day this year? I think it's a realty good idea．It shows people how they can help the environment．Last year you planted some trees near Oxford, didn't you?

     This year we are all going to the Sepulveda Dam Recreation Area to do pickup． That means collecting all the rubbish that people drop, like coke cans and sweet wrappers and other things like that．We start at 8 am and then pick up litter until about 1 pm．Then we have a huge picnic．It'll be great．We all take food and there are places to cook burgers and hot dogs and other things．

There will be lots of stalls selling organic, healthy food in the open air, too! Then we'll do pickup again until about 3 pm．We' II have to be very careful to tidy up well after the picnic!

There are lots of events around Los Angeles．My friend Jake is going to do pickup on a big beach near his home with the neighbours．My friend Beth is going on the big march in Los Angeles．I' d rather do something that makes an actual difference that you can see．Well, as we are getting rid of the rubbish, I suppose I should say a difference you can' t see!

Eric
