April 22 is Earth Day．Everyone on earth should care about and protect the earth!

The earth has warmed by about l°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．

2．We can infer（推斷）from the passage that the reasons for the warmer earth are             now．

A．not very clear       B．completely secret     C．well known            D．not given yet

A．sea rising                                                B．climate change

C．nature's unbalance                                      D．people's activity

4．According to the passage，               may affect each other．

A．a(chǎn)nimals and islands                                  B．climate and the warmth of the earth

C．fridges and animals                                           D．sea level and the growth of plants

Wang Fei，a Chinese student，and Mary，an American student studying Chinese in China，were in a supermarket．They saw a young man walking down the stairs．In his hurry，he missed the last two steps and fell onto the ground．He tried to stand up while people around him laughed．Luckily，he seemed to be OK．

Mary found Wang Fei smiling a little and was not happy about it．“Tell me，F(xiàn)ei，how could people laugh when someone fell like that? Why didn’t they go up and ask him if he was hurt?’’

Wang Fei said，“Because they knew he wasn’t hurt too much．”

“But I still don’t understand．A fall is a fall．In my culture．people would never laugh!”

This is an example．The Chinese and the westerner will think and act differently when seeing such a thing．Chinese people are used to laughing or smiling．Very often the person who is in embarrassing（困窘的）situation would also laugh or smile to get out of it．However，if someone gets hurt seriously，it will not be a laughing matter any more．People will help him or her instead．

But，in that case，a westerner will rush over and help the person get up．If a westerner falls，he or she，like a Chinese person，may try to make a joke if he or she is not hurt．If two close friends are walking together，and one falls but clearly isn't hurt，a common joke is to say “Have a nice trip”．

So different people have different habits and different countries have different cultures．

1．Will Wang Fei and Mary think and act in the same way if they see a young man falling down?

2．Why didn't people go up and ask the young man if he was hurt?

3．What do Chinese people often do when they find themselves in embarrassing situation?

4．What is a westerner likely to do when he or she sees someone fall down?

5．What might Mary say to Wang Fei if he fell but clearly was not hurt?

--“Is this your tie?”　

--“Yes, it is．My mother bought it for 　　　 yesterday．”

A．I B．my C．me D．myself
