War, money and power are a few things that countries and people are concerned about. __1__ I agree that those things are important, I believe that everyone should start to __2__ more on a growing problem—global warming.

Global warming will not only __3__ our country and our generation, but also the entire __4__ and future generations. It is __5__ because the weather has been a lot warmer over the past few years, which __6__ the melting(融化) of the ice in the Antarctic. This will soon cause water levels to __7__ and flood parts of the world.

Many people ignore this problem because they feel __8__ they can't do anything about it and have more __9__ things to worry about. If we all __10__ so, then our ozone layer(臭氧层) will be __11__ and the planet will no longer be able to make life continue to exist. We should do our best to limit the use of our planet's __12__ resources(资源) and keep our air clean. __13__， future generations will suffer from our __14__.

Some might feel that they can't stop global warming from __15__. But if every single person does his or her part in keeping the air clean, then it will become a __16__ effort. Sure, there are some things that cause pollution and that we won't be able to __17__ change. This may include cars burning oil, but we can __18__ adjust some of these things. People can start carpooling, taking the bus, riding their bikes, or __19__ just walking.

If everyone takes __20__ now, I believe we can start seeing remarkable results within a few years.

   41  ，I am so happy he shared with me the    42   of his faith.

So I was not    46   when he told me of the time when he was    47    in college. It was the end of the month. To make matters worse，it was Friday and he had no    48   in his pocket for the weekend. Payday was Monday and he had no gas money to get home to    49   my dad and no money to buy food but he had faith that helping others    50   helping yourself.

On his way home from classes that day，as he was driving along，he noticed a guy ahead of him    51   his lumber (木材) all over the road as he turned the corner. Mark    52   right over and helped him load the lumber back into his truck. The guy was so thankful and    53   his hand to Mark，and in it was one hundred dollars. Mark couldn’t believe his    54  . He told him that was unnecessary but the man     55   and off he drove.

I still think of Mark sitting there telling me that story, with tears in his eyes, and how faithful he was.
