You might think that “global warming” means nothing more than a rise in the world’s temperature. But rising sea levels caused by it have resulted in the first evacuation (撤离) of an island nation, the citizens of Tuvalu will have to leave their homeland.
During the 20th century, sea level rose 8~12 inches. As a result, Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water that has polluted the country’s drinking water.
Paani Laupepa, a Tuvaluan government official, reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered an unusually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years. Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms.
Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions (排放), which are a main cause of global warming. “By refusing to sign the agreement, the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years.” Laupepa told the BBC.
Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries.
Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable (易受影响的) to rising sea levels. Maumoon Gayoon, president of the Maldives, told the United Nations that global warming has made his country of 311,000 an “endangered nation”.
【小题1】What is the text mainly about?
A. Rapid changes in earth’s temperature.?
B. Bad effects of global warming.
C. A country moving to a new place.
D. Reasons for lowland flooding.
【小题2】According to scientists, what is the direct cause of more and fiercer storms?
A. Greenhouse gas emissions in industrialized nations.
B. Higher surface water temperatures of the sea.
C. Continuous global warming.
D. Rising sea levels.
【小题3】Laupepa was not satisfied with the United States because it did not ________.
A. agree to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions
B. believe the problems facing Tuvalu were real
C. allow Tuvaluans to move to the US
D. sign an agreement with Tuvalu
【小题4】The country whose situation is similar to that of Tuvalu is ________.
A. Australia? ? B. New Zealand
C. the Maldives D. the United States

Many facts suggest that children are overweight (超重的) and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime (消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.
【小题1】According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?
A. Those who often take exercise.
B. Those who often watch television.
C. Those who often have meals at home.
D. Those who often walk to school.
【小题2】What is one reason that children become overweight?
A. Children can’ t choose what to eat.
B. Children are too busy to go out and play.
C. Children’s parents often cook meals for them.
D. There are too many fast food shops around.
【小题3】What does the underlined word “steering” in the last sentence most probably mean?
A. Forcing.? B. Guiding.
C. Driving.? D. Moving.
【小题4】 What’ s the main purpose of the text?
A. To tell a story.? B. To provide facts.
C. To give advice. D. To compare opinions.

Nowadays a vegetarian (素食的) lifestyle is becoming more and more popular. Keeping a vegetarian diet is one of the best things we can do.
