Passage E
Sending E-cards on the Internet
The Internet has changed our habits, including our habit of sending greeting cards. There are many e-card websites that make it so easy to find the right greeting cards. They have greatly changed the way we send greetings to each other.
Our lives have become so busy that we have limited personal time . These e-card websites have allowed everyone to easily share their feelings and emotions(感情) with the people they love. They contain (包括)plenty of greeting cards that can be used immediately. The users can choose any card they like, from festival greetings to birthday wishes. In fact, e-cards are perfect for any event. That's why more and more people like to send e-cards. If the users are interested in making their own greeting cards on the Internet, they can create a card within only a few minutes.
Another benefit(好处) of e-card websites is that they have made it possible for us to send top quality cards to our beloved(心爱的) ones and surprise them with cheerful greetings. They allow us to send our greetings on a specific(特定的) date. So we can plan for the occasion(场合) when we want to send the card. For example, we can send our e-card on a certain day and then visit the person with some flowers the next day. This will surely create a good impression(印象) on the person we love.
We have never forgotten the importance of saying sorry to our beloved ones. But sometimes we fail to do so because, we are not brave enough to face those we hurt. Some e-cards on these websites allow us to express our feelings in a more thoughtful way.
Although some people still would rather buy traditional cards in the shops for the persons they love, especially when they want the cards to last a long time, more and more people are choosing to send greetings on the Internet.

This past month saw one of the most devastating storms in history brings death and destruction on the Philippines. The number of lives lost is still being calculated, but it is already sitting above five thousand. In the flurryof news about the storm and its after-math, the cries of “I told you so” from environmentalists rang out loud and clear.
These scientists were especially vocal during the United Nations Climate Change Conference, which just wrapped up in Warsaw, Poland. The timing of the conference and Typhoon Haiyan was an eerie coincidence, but perhaps the concurrence offered a wakeup call for all.
Christiana Figures, Executive Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) said, “We are witnessing ever more frequent extreme weather events, and the poor and vulnerable are already paying the price.”
Scientists claim that storms like Typhoon Haiyan are an inevitable result of the effect greenhouse gases are having on our environment. Environmental analysts claim that rising temperatures around the globe and changing weather patterns are all part of the same problem.
This isn’t breaking news. We’ve heard the warnings for years. The UN has been hosting the Climate Change Conference since1995.But the changes that need to be made are huge. Added to this, the developed nations and developing countries have competing interests that are difficult to settle. The issue of who takes responsibility becomes difficult to resolve.
We may feel far away from Poland and resolving conflicts between countries, but we mustn’t feel far away from the issue. When we watch neighboring countries suffer in severe weather, when we hear reports of increasing global temperatures, when we walk outside and find it difficult to breathe the Shanghai air, we know we have a very real problem. So what are we going to do about it? Are we making every-day choices that can have a positive impact? Are we reducing our carbon footprint? Are we choosing to walk, ride a bicycle or take public transportation instead of a car? Are we recycling? Are we turning off the lights and electronics whenever possible?
The problem is complex, but saving our earth starts with each of us taking simple steps.
1.What is the most terrible typhoon in 2013? It is _________.
A. Haiyan??? ???? B. Bebinca????????? C. Danas?? ???????? D.Cimaron
2.Warsaw isn’t in Poland,is it?
A. Yes, it is?????? B. No, it isn’t????? ? C. Yes, it isn’t ????? D. No, it is
3.How many years have we heard the warnings? For nearly ______years.
A. 21????? ?????? B. 18???? ???????? C. 19?????? ??????? D. 20
4.Which of the following is NOT FALSE?
A. The environment is worse and worse and we have no ideas about it.
B. The environment is worse and we needn’t do anything about it.
C. Saving our environment is not so complex.
D. The environment is a big problem and we must take simple steps

Dear Roni,
Italy is wonderful. We started in Rome two weeks ago, drove to Florence last week and now we're on our way to Venice. Three weeks just isn't enough.
The country near Florence is so beautiful-hills, olive trees. And red roofs(屋顶) of the houses look so nice far away.
I am afraid I am getting bigger-the food here is so delicious!
Love,
Akemi

Hi Roni,
I can't believe(相信) you went to school here in Honolulu! Why did you leave?
I spend each morning on the beach(海滩) and in the water. The sand is so soft and the beaches seem so long. The water is just the right temperature.
One afternoon, I left the beach to walk in mountains near Honolulu. I enjoyed myself very much there.
How I miss you!
Mari

Dear Roni,
Maybe I'm strange but I love the desert(沙漠)!
Last week, our group spent four days in the desert. At times, it felt like the moon.
I always thought deserts were all the same! They are not. Some parts look like mountains; others are really different.
And when we find something green--a few plam trees, a little water, we feel good and great.
See you in September,
Kim
