Now and then we may all get ill. Then we usually go to see a doctor. Doctors know a lot about what makes us ill. They may give us some medicine to take. The medicine often makes us well again.

But sometimes medicine can’t drive the pain or hurt away. A sick person does not get well after taking enough medicine. This ever happened to one man. He was not getting well even if he had been in hospital for nearly a month. Then he found a new “doctor” inside himself. This “doctor” was his own sense of humor. He saw laughable films and read funny comic books. Something wonderful happened! Laughing took away his pain. Then he was able to sleep and rest well. He said laughing was his best “medicine”. His doctor thought so.

Here is another sick man. He had a terrible pain in his back. The doctors tried every effort to stop it from hurting, but failed. Then the man began to draw pictures in his mind. He “drew” a picture of a dog. He imagined it as a real dog that was biting (咬) his back and made him feel a lot of pain. Then the man talked softly to the dog and touched its head gently. He soon made friends with the dog and the dog didn’t bite him any more. To everyone’s surprise, his pain went away!

These stories may surprise you. But more and more people are getting well in this way. So call on the “doctor” inside your own heads. Stay happy and well!

According to a new scientific research, we are rapidly going close to major climate change and the effects on the environment could be quite serious. Geographers predict that climate zones could completely disappear within the next eighty years. Where will crops be grown if this happens? When the climate changes a lot, polar regions will get colder and tropical regions will get even hotter. As a result, where will animals be forced to move on the earth?

Climate changes like these could lead to the spread of diseases. Tropical storms and hurricanes(飓风) will not only increase but may also become stronger. If the changes come too quickly, animals and plants may not be able to adapt(适应) right away and could disappear from the earth.

According to Science Daily, a new study predicts that, by the year 2100, many of today’s familiar climates will be taken place by climate unknown in today’s world. It is urgent that we reduce the risks of far-reaching results for the whole world. The planet itself has been showing signs of change. In 2004, a huge tsunami created by a major earthquake killed thousands in Sumatra and in 2008, thousands more died in China in another big earthquake. Egypt was hit in 2009 with a major earthquake and Haiti was destroyed seriously and became ruins in 2010 by another big earthquake.

Not long ago, scientists discovered ice melting(融化) in west Antarctica(南极洲). This is very worrying because temperatures in this area have remained rather constant(不断的) and actually even lower at time. Melting occurs when temperatures increase and since temperatures have remained, the ice should not be melting. However, satellite data(数据) shows melting around west Antarctica.

Within just the last few months, new reports from around the world have been coming in and most agree that our climate situation is much worse than previously expected. At this point, it doesn’t matter what is causing it, but rather, what can be done about it. On the other hand, our world is getting more and more unstable(不稳定) every year. Natural disasters(灾难) are becoming more frequent(频繁的) and serious.

However, other planets are experiencing global warming as well as our own and some scientists believe there may be some connections between these. No one knows anything for sure at this point because there is simply not enough data.

1.What’s the writer’s attitude toward the climate changes?

A.We should observe the great changes of the climate carefully.

B.We must connect with other planets to prevent the climate changes.

C.We should try our best to do something against the climate changes.

D.We need to discover what causes the climate changes first of all.

2.What does the underlined word “tropical” mean?

A.cold and dry

B.cool and wet

C.hot and wet

D.warm and dry

3.What can be inferred from the passage?

A.Collecting more data will help us to solve the problem.

B.The climate will be much better than we have expected.

C.Earthquakes can be avoided in a few years’ time.

D.The ice in west Antarctica will stop melting in the future.

4.What’s the passage mainly about?

A.It tells us how to protect the environment of the earth.

B.It talks about the bad effects of the climate changes.

C.It shows us how to prevent diseases from spreading.

D.It describes what we should do with the earthquakes.

Dear Jenny,

How’s it going? Are you busy with your study these days?

I’ve been back at school nearly four weeks. I’m very glad to tell you that great have taken place in our school this term. First of all, we’re asked to “clear our plates” when having our meals and say to wasting. Some of us used to order more than what we could eat. That was a big waste of food. Now we need to the food we order. We should also stop wasting in some other ways. For example, we should turn off the lights when we the classroom. And our school has opened up some fields for us to learn how to grow vegetables. Each class is given a small garden and our class has decided to grow some tomatoes and beans( 豆类) in our time. I think that’ll be very interesting. Maybe I’ll be able to you some beans we’ve grown by ourselves next time! What’s more, we have only two classes in the afternoon we have more time for after-school activities. I’m one of the traffic safety volunteers in our school. After school, we take turns to go to the streets near our school and ask people to the traffic rules.

I think we are having a different school life now!

Please write back soon and tell more about your school.

Yours,

Wang Wei
