Is global warming killing the Maldives?
The Maldives(馬爾代夫) is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Every year, millions of         go there to enjoy the wonderful scenery. And in recent years, more and more people would like to visit it,       ? Because the little island country is         . If global warming           , say scientists, the country will go down into the ocean within 100 years. That means the Maldives          have disappeared by 2100.
The Maldives          in the Indian Ocean. It is the           country on earth—its highest point is only 2.4m above sea level.          Greenhouse gas emissions（排放）, global temperature and sea levels will rise         9cm and 88cm by 2100. If scientists are       , most of the Maldives will be covered with water in years.
Last October, Maldivian President Mohamed Nasheed and his cabinet（內(nèi)閣）held the world’s first underwater cabinet meeting to make the world         the terrible results from global warming to their own country. In December, he         at the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference（大會） in Copenhagen, trying to ask for help from the world for        country. The president even has a         to buy a new homeland and move his country and people to a new place.
The Moldavian government has been doing all it can to fight the         . But the fate（命運(yùn)）of the islands is in the world’s hands. No one wants to see this little island country disappear from the world.

Do you like to sit in front of the computer and play computer games hour after hour? Have you ever thought of what that may be doing to your health? More and more children are becoming overweight(肥胖的) and growing less creative because they spend too much time in front of the computer according to a survey.
Last week Child Protective Services(兒童保護(hù)組織)in America organized an activity. The aim of the activity was to encourage children to do some outdoor activities instead of playing computer games at home. Many American children spend about 1,000 hours a year playing computer games — more time than they spend in school. As a result, they are overweight. Some of them have very poor eyesight, and they can’t see clearly.
Everyone should pay attention to his health and try to keep healthy. The doctor says that the longer children play computer games, the more overweight they may become. And the junk food children eat while they’re playing computer games makes the weight problem more serious.
To keep fit, children need to take exercise regularly, play outside with friends, and explore the world around them. Can you spend two weeks without playing computer games? It might be difficult for computer lovers, but why not have a try?
小題1:Children may become______ if they play computer games all day.
A．much youngerB．much lighterC．less creativeD．less careful
小題2:American children may spend______ hours in school a year according to the passage.

小題3:The underlined word “eyesight” means “______” in Chinese.
A．凝聚力B．想象力C．記憶力D．視力
小題4:What can we learn from the passage?
A．Playing computer games has caused some health problems.
B．Playing computer games can make children cleverer and more creative.
C．Child Protective Services in America organized an activity for parents.
D．Child Protective Services asked children to study at home and not to play outdoors.

It’s interesting that the arrival of snow has a different effect on people in different countries. For some countries it is an important happening to celebrate each year, while for others it is a catastrophe (災(zāi)難) or even a wonder.
There are countries between these two extremes (極端) that normally expect snow some time over the winter months, but never receive snow regularly or in the same quantities(數(shù)量) every year. Britain is one such country, for which the arrival of snow quite simply creates problems. Within hours of the first snowfall, however light, roads are blocked, trains and buses stop in the middle of traffic. Normal communications are affected as well, telephone calls become difficult and the post immediately takes more time than usual. Almost within hours, there are also shortages(不足) -- bread, vegetables and other things -- not because all these things can no longer be produced or sent to shops, but mainly because people are frightened, and go out to store up these commodities (日用品), “just for fear that something bad should happen.”
Why then does snow have this effect? After all, the Swiss, Austrians and Canadians don’t have such problems. It is simply because there is not enough planning and preparation. We need money to buy equipment to deal with snow and ice. To keep the roads clear, for example, requires snow ploughs and machines to spread salt. The reason why a country like Britain does not buy some ploughs is that they are only used for a few days in any one year, and the money could be more useful in other things such as hospitals, education or helping the old.
小題1:According to the writer, Britain is a country____.
A．which has regular snowB．which is not well prepared for snow
C．for which snow is not a problemD．for which snow is a wonder
小題2:The arrival of snow in Britain affects all of the following except____
A．trafficB．communicationC．food suppliesD．service quality
小題3:After a few hours’ snowing there are often shortages of food because______
A．shops have closed downB．people buy as much as they can
C．farmers can’t produce any moreD．people eat more vegetables in winter
小題4:The first reason that the British don’t buy snow ploughs is that______
A．spreading salt is good enoughB．old people need more money
C．snow ploughs are not used oftenD．the hospital is more important
