6April 22 is Earth Day. Everyone on earth should care about and protect the earth! The earth has warmed by about 1 °F 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 make the earth warmer.First, greenhouse effect (效应) 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 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.41.

These can be very big. Such as winning the Nobel Prize, or they can be small. You may just want to become one of the best students in your class.Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that making our dreams real is life’s biggest challenge.You may think you are not very good at some school subjects, or it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts stop you from realizing your dream, the book says.In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want. Do this step by step, and your dream will come true faster because a big dream, in fact, comes from many small dreams.You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the way to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book. As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests.36.

Teenagers Have Many Dreams8About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier, only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man can not see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green --- a strange world indeed.Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones ”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods” but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shape but no color.Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes (蚊子) like blue but do not like yellow. Red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible (看不见的) colors around.41. What problems may people have if they suffer from color blindness?A. Some can not see deep red.B.

It is celebrated by hundreds of millions of people around the world. For my family, it is considered the greatest holiday of the year.Every Easter my brothers and I would wake up early and, like Christmas morning, run downstairs to see what surprises were waiting for us. We were always excitedwhen the Easter Bunny(兔子), who is like Father Christmas, came and left us a basket of candy. It’s wo nderful. It is like there is a miracle every Easter morning.Our mother, however, would not let us eat the chocolates like we wanted. The chocolate bunnies, and candy eggs would have to wait. Instead, we would have to get dressed in our new clothes.Then my family would go to church. After church we would go to an elder family members’ house for a feast. My mother’s family came to the US from Eastern Europe, so we would often eat many traditional dishes. My favorite was ham and a special potato salad. We usually had 20 or more family members at the dinner.After dinner my cousins, brothers and I would go outside. While we were sleeping the night before, our parents had hidden plastic eggs throughout the back yard. We would always have a contest to see who could find the most eggs.

There are more sweat glands(汗腺) in your feet than in any other part of your body. There are about sixty muscles in your face; you use twenty of them to smile but forty to frown(皱眉).Your heart beats over 100,000 times each day. You are really amazing!The human body is a complex machine. From the day we are born our bodies grow and change because of our environment, diet and habits. The body has many different organ(器官) systems and parts that work together to allow us to breathe, move, see, talk, and eat food all at the same time. Most of the time we are unaware of what is happening in our bodies; usually it’s only when we get sick or feel pain that we notice.Many people do not take enough care of their complex machines. Bad habits like smoking, drinking too much alcohol, and eating junk food damage our bodies. Stress can also cause health problems. People who worry a lot or have busy jobs often don’t get enough sleep, or don’t eat prop erly. We also damage our bodies by playing sports or having accidents. In 1999, Americans made more than 102,000,000 visits to emergency rooms. The two most common reasons were for injure and poisoning. ER patients were also treated for many other medical problems—from bad cuts and broken bones to serious illness that needed surgery(手术).As with any machine, the better you take care of it, the longer it will last.
