The weather predictions for Asia in 2050 read like a story from a doomsday movie．

Many experts and green groups fear they will come true unless there is a united global effort to hold back greenhouse gas outpouring．In the decades to come, Asia—home to more than half the world's 63 billion people—will change from one climate extreme to another, with tired farmers battling droughts, floods, disease, food shortages and rising sea levels．

"It's not a pretty picture," said Steve Sawyer, climate policy adviser with Greenpeace in Amsterdam．Global warming and changes of weather patterns are already occurring and there is more than enough carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere to drive climate change for decades to come．

Already, changes are being felt in Asia but worse is likely to come．Sawyer and top climate bodies say, and could lead to mass migration and widespread human disasters．According to predictions, icebergs will melt faster, some Pacific and Indian Ocean islands will have to evacuate or build sea defenses, storms will become stronger and insects and water-borne diseases will move into new areas as the world warms．

All this comes on top of rising populations and demand for food, water and other resources．Experts say environmental worsening such as deforestation and pollution will likely enlarge the results of climate change．

In what could be a sign of the future, Japan was hit by a record of 10 typhoons and tropical storms this year, while two - thirds of Bangladesh, parts of Nepal and large areas of northeastern India were flooded, affecting 50 million people, destroying livelihoods and making tens of thousands ill．

The year before, a winter cold strike and a summer heat wave killed more than 2,000 people in India．

1.This passage is mainly about ____ ．

A．present situation and predictions of environmental problems in Asia.

Easy way to get healthy

I always hate the first few weeks of the New Year, mostly because people all say, “Let’s diet! It’s a new year！“

You can always choose to switch it up! 1. Here are some simple ways to get your health on all year round.

Switch out bad habits for good ones. 2. Do something as simple as swapping nighttime cookies for nighttime vitamins.

Catch some sleep. One of the most important things we can do for our minds and bodies is to make sure we’re getting enough sleep on a regular schedule. 3.

Feed your mind. Keep your mind smart. Start a new hobby, read a book about something you don’t understand— and so on.

4. I’m not suggesting you take on a new sport. But taking the stairs, parking farther away, and finding a hobby you enjoy will allow you to be active.

Get organized. I’m not saying a whole repair of your entire world; start small. Organize a kitchen cabinet. Purge(清除) yourself of stuff you don’t need.

Get rid of the mess. That means your mind is included too! Make lists. Get a calendar and mark down important days. Clear your mind and your home. 5. .

Smile. Overlook some of the bad things that are going on in your life, and focus on the good. Staying positive can help in nearly every aspect of your life!

Chang your activity.

A. Change your activity up.

B. Try exercising your brain too.

C. You’ll find it improves your mood.

D. You are the one to improve yourself.

E. It’s time to take charge of your health!

Grammarphobia is the fear of grammar. This fear attacks almost everybody at one time or another, and it's most likely to strike during English or language arts classes. Even people who love reading and writing have been known to get feverish and insecure when they are aware of the possibility of turning in homework with grammar or spelling mistakes. Though writing may be enjoyable, being corrected is definitely not!

Grammarphobes, it's time to put your fears behind you. Grammar isn't that dreadful (可怕的). Here's why.

Let's assume you like hearing and telling stories and that you enjoy joking with friends. You probably also like emailing and instantmessaging. Well, what do you think makes all these possible? Grammar!

Grammar is simply the art of putting words together to make sentences. Whenever you use words to express yourself, you're using grammar. You do this all the time without even thinking.

So why think about it? Because good grammar helps you convey the ideas you intend. If your words aren't right, or if they are not in the right order, the person you are talking to might get the wrong idea. This can have embarrassing results.

Grammar helps us understand each other. It's like a manual (手冊) for assembling the words in your head. You have to put your words together the right way if you want them to make sense. They can't do what you want if they aren't put together correctly.

What if everybody you know had a different manual? How would you agree on what others' words mean? People with different grammar manuals might be speaking different languages.

Communicating is similar to playing cards. To make sense, we have to play the same game, by the same rules. What are the rules for playing the game of English? You already know most of them without having to open a book.

1.Grammarphobes refer to people who ________.

A. consider grammar to be boring

B. are afraid of making grammar mistakes

C. mind grammar too much in writing

D. are worried about grammar homework

2. The underlined word “assembling” in Paragraph 6 may mean ________.

A. directing B. remembering

C. looking for D. bringing together

3.What does playing cards have in common with communicating?

A. Both can be learned easily.

B. Both can be interesting games.

C. Both need standards.

D. Both can make sense for our life.

4.What might be the main idea of the passage?

A. Grammar is not horrible.

B. Forgetting grammar when writing.

C. Improving grammar through writing.

D. What is grammarphobia?
