6.HOW LIFE BEGAN ON THE EARTH
No one knows exactly how the earth began,as it happened so long ago.However,according to a (76)widelyaccepted theory,the universe began with a"Big Bang"that threw matter in all (77)directions.After that,atoms began to form and combine to create stars and other bodies.
For several billion years after the"Big Bang",the earth was still just a (78)cloudof dust.What it was to become was uncertain until between 4.5and 3.8billion years ago when the dust settled into a solid globe.The earth became so (79)violentthat it was not clear whether the shape would last or not.It (80)explodedloudly with fire and rock.
A TRIP ON"THE TRUE NORTH"
Li Daiyu and her cousin Liu Qian were on a trip to Canada to visit their cousins in Montreal on the (81)Atlanticcoast.Rather than take the aeroplane all the way,they decided to fly to Vancouver and then take the train from west to east across Canada.The(82)thoughtthat they could cross the whole continent was exciting.
Their friend,Danny Lin,was waiting at the airport.He was going to take them and their baggage to catch"The True North",the cross-Canada train.On the way to the station,he chatted about their trip."You're going to see some great scenery.Going (83)eastward,you'll pass mountains and thousands of lakes and forests,as well as wide rivers and large cities.Some people have the (84)ideathat you can cross Canada in less than five days,but they forget the (85)factthat Canada is 5,500kilometres from coast to coast.
3.Find ways to respond to a major disaster
When natural disasters like hurricanes and earthquakes happen,there's always a great need for coordinated(协调的) disaster relief and recovery.(36)E.
Volunteer
To take a hands-on approach to disaster recovery,volunteer your time and talents.You can travel to the affected regions to provide support.(37)F.It is recommended that you volunteer through one of the professional organizations for your safety and your skills can be put to best use.
Donate money
Disaster victims often have lost their homes or need to relocate.In many cases,your money is just as valuable as your physical presence in helping with relief efforts.Many organizations provide temporary housing,food and other items for victims.(38)G.Even organizations like the Red Cross have been criticized for how donated funds have been allocated(分配).
Donate blood
If you can't travel and don't feel comfortable giving money,a need for donated blood always existed.The Red Cross and local medical organizations manage blood supplies that are important to disaster victims.Call the Red Cross to schedule an appointment.(39)D.
(40)A.
Goods are valuable in stricken areas.Building materials and donations of bottled water or household items can be placed on trucks and taken to the disaster areas.It is the best to allow the professional organizations to coordinate these donation efforts and see that the needed supplies reach a location where they will be best used for recovery.

A.Send needed items.
B.Make preparations.
C.A lot of people are skillful at organizing local response.
D.Or look out for a blood drive in your area.
E.Whether disaster has occurred at home or abroad,you can help.
F.And you can do everything from providing first aid to rebuilding homes in these areas.G.Before giving,though,make sure you trust the organization receiving your money.
