Mr. Wise,
I am a slow(迟钝的)student. Most of my classmates are much better than me. So I usually get worried. I spent much time studying for the tests, but I can’t get good grades(分数). Sometimes my father gives me some help. He tells me not to worry about it. But it doesn’t work. What do you think I should do?
Xiaoming
Dear Xiaoming,
Many famous people were not so good when they were young. Edison, a famous scientist(科学家), did badly in his studies when he was a 12-year-old boy. But he did a lot for the people in the world at last. When I was at your age, I didn’t do well at school. But I kept working hard and I succeeded(成功) at last. You should take it easy and try your best. Tomorrow is another day. I believe you can do better.
Mr. Wise

For many years scientists have said that the earth is getting warmer. Now they have found something new-hot cities! In the southern US, they have found that cities become very hot in summer. For example, the city of Atlanta in Georgia has roof(屋顶) temperature of up to 50oC while it is 27℃ in the streets! At night, the outside of buildings stays so hot that the heat of the city causes storms over the city!

China also has the same kind of problems. Every year more farmland is used for factories or offices. More housing is needed, too. As people become richer, they buy more cars. New roads are needed and new car parks are built in the city centers. This all makes cities hotter.

It isn’t easy to change the situation. City planners say that we should plant more trees in the middle of cities. Every new street should have trees on both sides, they say. Trees make the temperature lower, so we should have more trees in our parks and squares. We should also paint our roofs white. If we do this, they do not become so hot. Every roof in a hot and sunny country should have solar(太阳的) roof panels. The electricity from these can be used to run the air conditioners (空调)in the buildings.

People continue to cut down forests around the cities. This makes the problem worse. Cities are growing faster and faster. By the year 2025, four fifths(五分之四) of the population will be living in cities. If we go on like this, there will not be enough farmland to feed everyone in the world
