People started wearing clothes to protect themselves from the sun, wind, rain and cold. People said that many years ago the first kind of clothes were made of animal skins. Today we use different materials.

But clothes do more than keep us warm. Our clothes can also tell about who we are, our culture, life and hobbies. For example, if we like to wear yellow or pink clothes, we are usually active and easy--going. If we like black and blue, we may be quiet people. As a middle school student, we often wear the school clothes. Someone who works in a bank may wear a suit every day.

The Earth has warmed by about half a degree（0.50℃）over the last 100 years. It could be getting warmer on its own, but many scientists think that people are making the Earth warmer by making a greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is important.  Without it, the Earth would not be warm enough for us to live on. But just a little warmer than it is now could cause problems for humans, plants and animals.

Many of the things we do every day can change the Earth’s temperature by sending greenhouse gases into the air. We send greenhouse gases into the air when we watch TV, turn on lights, dry hair, play video games, wash or dry our clothes or drive cars. The rubbish from factories and homes also produces greenhouse gases.

     Even a small change in temperature can affect our weather. This can cause changes in the sea levels, the air, flooding, and our fresh water.

The change in the temperature can also cause changes in the living places for animals and plants, endangering many animals.

     Global warming is a big problem, and every little bit we do can help. We can save electricity. We can save energy in other ways such as by taking buses or walking rather than driving cars. We can recycle to reduce the rubbish and save natural resources such as trees, oil and metals. We can buy products that don’t do bad to the environment and we can turn to solar energy. Remember the little bit that you do will bring a better world.

1. Which of the following does not send greenhouse gases into the air?

A. Watching TV.                     B. Turning on a light.

C. Driving a car.                     D. Walking to school.

A. Paragraph 2                      B. Paragraph 3

One can have many experiences, but the one I never forget is my bicycling trip in Taiwan. When we were going to   46  school, my teacher suggested that we could do something special to remember our school life. After a long discussion, we decided to travel  47  the whole island by bicycle.

I almost gave up and didn’t want to   54  the trip, but I tried to solve the problems successfully and kept on. Fifteen days passed, we returned to school again. We were so   55  .

This experience was like a miracle for me. I learned that I could do what I want to.
