Have you ever seen a greenhouse? Most greenhouses look like a small glass house.

　　Greenhouses are used to grow plants，especially in winter.Greenhouses work by trapping heat from the sun，the glass panels(板) of the greenhouse let light in，but keep heat from escaping.This causes the greenhouse to heat up，much like the inside of the parked in sunlight，and keeps the plants warm enough to live in winter.

　　The earth's atmosphere(大气) is all around us.It is the air that we breathe.Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere behave much like the glass panels in a greenhouse.Sunlight enters the Earth's atmosphere，passing through the blanket of greenhouse gases.As it reaches the Earth's surface，land，water，and biosphere(生物圈)，they take up the sunlight's energy.Once the heat is taken up，this energy is sent back into the atmosphere.Some of the energy passes back into space，but much of it remains trapped in the atmosphere by the greenhouse gases，causing our world to heat up.

　　The greenhouse effect is important.Without the greenhouse effect，the Earth would not be warm enough for humans to live.But if the greenhouse effect becomes stronger，it could make the earth warmer than usual.Even a little extra warming may bring problems to humans，plants，and animals.

Earthquakes may happen anywhere on the earth.When some plates of the earth move suddenly，an earthquake happens.Many earthquakes begin under the sea.They often happen near the mountains，too.

　　During an earthquake，the shakings make rocks rise suddenly and even crack(断裂) open.Houses fall，people are killed or hurt，and sometimes the whole villages or cities are destroyed.

　　Can we do something to keep ourselves safe from earthquakes? Scientists have studied earthquakes and made maps that show the "earthquake belts".In areas in these belts，it's possible for earthquakes to happen.In these areas we should build strong houses to fight against earthquakes.

some day , too .

In London, there has always been a main problem. In order to solve this problem, the government has decided to have a bike revolution(革命). It has decided to provide 6,000 bikes for the people to rent. The government encourages local people to ride bikes in order to solve the traffic problem.

More than 12,000 people have agreed to the idea. Some of them ask for more than one key. Although there are not enough bikes, an official(官员) from the government said that they would find some ways to deal with such a shortage.

Local people can get these bikes at special docking stations（停靠站）.There are about 315 docking stations across the city. About 12,450 keys have already been handed out to the local people, but only 6,000 keys can be used now.

Let’s see the cost you need to pay. One key costs ￡3, and the cost of using the bike is ￡1 for an hour. The cost per hour increases as the hours increase, so it will cost ￡50 if you rent the bike for 24 hours.
