A
I have just received your letter. And I was very surprised to know that you decided to drop out of school and wanted to be a model (模特).
Being a model for a living is not easy. In fact, a famous person like me has a lot of problems that you couldn’t see. I can’t eat what I like, even though I’m very hungry. Keeping thin makes me look more beautiful on the stage because no one would like to see a heavy model.
Besides, I have to wear a heavy coat in the hot sun, in a swimming suit in the cold air. And practicing walking nicely every day is tiring for me.
You might say I made much money from modeling. But my dear niece(侄女)，you have to know that money is nothing, knowledge is everything. School is important and everyone should go to school for a certain period of time. The longer they stay at school, the better they will be. Very often, I hope I can give up my job and continue my studies at school. But it is very difficult for me to go back to school again. I am too old to go back to school now.
You are a pretty young girl with a bright future. You only have one year to finish your studies in high school. A year is really short. Please do consider my words carefully before you decide. Of course, there is only one thing I care about, and that is your happiness.
Love,
Emma

To understand why the Earth is warming up , first of all, we need to understand why it is warm. Our planet is covered with atmosphere(大气) . Sunlight passes through the atmosphere and reaches the Earth. The Sun heats up the Earth’s surface. When the heat rises into the air, it is stopped by some special gases(气体) in the atmosphere like CO2 , the heat returns to the Earth and keeps it warm.
Power stations and cars release (释放) so many greenhouse gases every day. So we can help stop global(全球) warming by using less electric things such as turning off lights when we leave a room, asking our parents to turn down the heating in our house to save energy. We can also stop global warming by finding other ways of transportation. For example, ride a bicycle or walk instead of going by car. Another way to help stop global warming is to plant and care for trees. Because trees take in CO2 , they are our best friends when fighting against global warming.
The problem of global warming cannot be solved in a day. It may take a long time to find clean energy, such as wind energy. It may take a long time to plant the trees again we are cutting down. But every little thing each person can do to save energy and our forests will help. Think about our planet. Think about ways we can help make the Earth a safe and comfortable place for the future.The underlined word “it” means _______ in the first paragraph.
| A．the heat | B．the Earth |
| C．the sunlight | D．the atmosphere |
_______ ways are mentioned to stop global warming to the second paragraph.
| A．Two | B．Three | C．Four | D．Five |
Which of the following is NOT true?
| A．Everybody can help save energy and our forests. |
| B．The problem of global warming can not be solved. |
| C．To find clean enrgy will help solve the problem of global warming. |
| D．The writer wants us to pay attention to the problem of global warming. |
Which is the best title of this passage?
| A．Why is the Earth warming up |
| B．When can we stop the Earth from warming up |
| C．How can we stop the Earth getting warmer |
| D．How long will it take to stop the Earth getting warmer |
There once was a man and a woman. They had been married (已婚) for more than 60 years. They kept no secrets from each other except that the old woman had a shoe box on the top of her closet . She told her husband never to open it or ask about it.
