“Where is the bus? Why is it always late?” I asked myself. I was going to be late 36 the manager wasn’t going to be pleased. “Thank God, here it is!” The bus came round the corner and I got on. Ten minutes later I was walking into the 37 where I work. “Twenty-five past nine. I 38 the manager doesn’t notice.” But I was not 39.
“Smith!” shouted the manager. “Late again. What’s your 40 this time?” “I am afraid the bus was late, Mr. Brown.” “41 up earlier tomorrow! Anyway, go to your place at the counter(柜台). We’ll be opening in a few minutes.”
My first customer was a pretty girl wearing a red dress. 42 her was a young man of about 23. He seemed very 43 , and every few seconds he looked towards the main entrance. The girl drew some money and 44 about opening an account. I gave her necessary 45 and she went out. 46 I noticed a tall man by the door, carrying something 47 with brown paper. Turning to my next customer, I was frightened to see a gun sticking out of his coat. The next moment a loud noise 48 my ears. Everything went black. I was falling… It seemed to be a long time 49 I opened my eyes and I found myself in bed! 50 shaking from the memory of this terrible dream, I got dressed and ran out of the house. 51 the bus wasn’t on time, and I got to the bank at 9:25.
“Smith!” the manager cried out in a voice like thunder. “ 52 of your excuses! Start work at once!” To my 53 the first customer was a girl 54 a red dress and behind her stood a man carrying something wrapped in brown paper. The 55 ! Sometimes life is full of coincidences (巧合)!

gone D. deadIt’s true that quite a few most respected scientific authorities have confirmed that the world is becoming hotter and hotter. There’s also strong evidence that humans are contributing to the warming. Countless recent reports have proved the same thing. For instance, a 2010 summary about the climate science by the Royal Society noted that: “The global warming over the last half-century has been caused mainly by human activity.”
You may not believe that humans could change the planet’s climate, but the basic science is well understood. Each year, billions of tons of greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere because of human activity. As has been known for years, these gases hold heat that would otherwise escape to space, wrapping the planet in an invisible (看不见的) blanket.
Of course, the earth’s climate has always been changing due to “natural” factors such as volcanic eruption or changes in solar, or cycles concerning the Earth’s going around the sun. According to the scientific research, however, the warming observed by now matches the pattern of warming we would expect from a build-up of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere – not the warming we would expect from other possible causes.
Even if scientists did discover another reasonable explanation for the warming recorded so far, that would give birth to a difficult question. As Robert Henson puts it: “If some newly discovered factor is to blame for the climate change, then why aren’t carbon dioxide and the other greenhouse gases producing the warming that basic physics tells us they should be?”
The only way to prove with 100% certainty that humans are responsible for global warming would be to run an experiment with two identical Earths – one with human influence and one without. That obviously isn’t possible, and so most scientists are careful not to state human influence as an absolute certainty.
