“The world’s oceans are slowly getting more acidic．” say scientists．The researchers from California report that the change is taking place in response to higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere．

The lowering of the waters’ pH value is not great at the moment but could cause a serious threat to current ocean life if it continues, they warn．Ken Caldeira and Michael Wickett, from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, report their concerns in the journal Nature．Increasing use of oil fuels means more carbon dioxide is going into the air, and most of it will eventually be absorbed by seawater．Once in the water, it reacts to form carbonic acid．Scientists believe that the oceans have already become slightly more acidic over the last century．

These researchers have tried to predict what will happen in the future by combining what we know about the history of the oceans with computer models of climate change．“This level of acidity will get much more extreme in the future if we continue releasing CO2 into the atmosphere,” said Dr Caldeira．“And we predict the amount of future acidity will exceed（超过） anything we have seen over the last several hundred million years, let alone perhaps after rare disastrous events such as asteroid（小行星） impacts．

However, it is not absolutely clear what that means for ocean life．Most organisms live near the surface, where the greatest pH change would be expected to occur, but deep-ocean life forms may be more sensitive to pH changes．Coral reefs（珊瑚礁） and other organisms whose shells contain calcium carbonate（碳酸钙） may be particularly affected if the water’s acidity levels keep going up, the team predict．They could find it much more difficult to build these structures in water with a lower pH．

In recent years some people have suggested storing carbon dioxide from power station in the deep ocean as a way of dealing with global warming．But Dr Caldeira said that such a strategy should now be re-considered．“Previously, most experts had looked at ocean absorption of carbon dioxide as a good thing --- because in releasing CO2 into the atmosphere we warm the planet, and when CO2 is absorbed by the ocean, it reduces the amount of greenhouse warming．”

The ocean is becoming more acidic due to __________．

A．the higher level of CO2 in the air B．the warming atmosphere

C．the increasing use of oil fuels D． the lower water pH value

According to Dr Caldeira, __________．

A．more oil fuels will be used in the near future

B．ocean absorption of carbon dioxide is a good thing

C．the future situation of the amount of acidity is extremely serious

D．scientists may predict climate changes with computer models

If the water’s acidity level keeps rising, __________．

A．the waters’ pH value will become higher and higher

B．some disastrous events will occur more often than before

C．organisms living near the surface are more sensitive to pH changes

D．ocean life whose structures contain calcium carbonate may be affected

Most experts once believed storing carbon dioxide in the ocean would reduce __________．

A．the CO2 absorbed by the ocean B．the amount of greenhouse warming

C．the acidity of the ocean D．the gradual release of CO2

The purpose of this passage is to __________．

A．show people the findings of a research team

B．introduce Dr Caldeira and his team’s research

C．warn people of the higher level of CO2

D．inform people of how acid the ocean is now

Mr Smith was the manager of a hotel in Springfield. One weekend all of the hotels in the city were full because there was a large meeting. Late in the evening three men came into the hotel and asked for rooms. Mr Smith explained that because of the meeting, there were no rooms ready for use. The men were very unhappy because they had no place to stay in.

Mr Smith wanted to help them. He remembered that Room 414, a very small room, was empty. He asked them if they would share a room. The three men agreed. Mr Smith told them that the room would cost $30: $10 for each. Each of them gave Mr Smith $10, and they went up to the room.

Mr Smith soon began to feel sorry. “Thirty dollars is too much for that small room,” he thought. He called one of his men over and said, “Here is $ 5. Bring it to the man in Room 414. I’ve asked too much money for their room.”

The worker took the money from his manager. While he was on his way to Room 414, he started to think, “How can I divide $5? Well, I’ll give each of them only $1 and I keep $2. The men will be happy to get anything back. I’ll make a little money and Mr Smith will never know.” So he returned $1 to each man.

You see, there come a problem, each man had at first paid $10. After the worker returned them $1 each, each man had paid 9. There were three men, $9 x 3 = $27. The worker kept $2 —$27+$2=29. Where is the missing dollar?

Which of the following is True?

A. The large meeting was held in this hotel. B. The three men stayed together in one room.

C. Each of the three men got a small room. D. Room 414 was the office for Mr Smith.

Where was the missing dollar?

A. There wasn’t any missing dollar at all. B. It was taken by the worker too.

C. It was taken by the manager Mr Simith. D. It was taken by the three men themselves.

Put the following sentences in correct order.

a. Three men went into the hotel for a room. b. Mr Smith felt sorry to have asked for too much.

c. They paid 30 dollars altogether for one room. d. The worker gave one dollar back to each of them.

e. Mr Smith thought of a small room, still empty. f. The worker was given 5 dollar to return to them.

One of the most well-known directors of our time is Stephen Spielberg. He was born in Cincinnati on 18 December 1946. His father was an electric engineer and his mother was a performing pianist. His sister, Anne Spielberg, became a screenwriter who wrote the stories for many famous films.

Stephen had always wanted to be a director ever since he was a young boy. When he was just 13 years old, he made a 40-minute film. It won a local competition. Three years later, he produced a film called Firelight, which made one hundred dollars’ profit at the cinema in his hometown. Many of the ideas from this film were later used for one of his most famous films called Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

When he was 18 years old, he wanted to go to film school so that he could improve his skills and become an even better director. Unluckily, he was unsuccessful in getting a place at this school so he went to a university in California to study English. Even though he had failed to get into the school he wanted to go to, he didn’t let this stop him following his dream to become a great director.

Stephen Spielberg has directed many films since his first major film in 1976. He now owns many different businesses, most of which are involved in the film industry.
