When I was a foreign teacher in China,every day I taught English to my students and they taught me about China.One day the topic mined to saying “I love you”.I was shocked to learn that not one of my students had said this to their mothers,nor had their mothers said it to them.“Does your mom love you?” “Of course,”they answered.
“How do you know?” was my logical question.They responded that their moms cooked and Always told them what they were doing wrong to show their earning.I was strummed. So mom's cooking and criticizing read our as “I love you”.”Then how do you say ‘I love you to her?” They agreed that getting good grades, followed by good jobs would be how they showed their love.
I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough,so I repeated these queries in clauses over time.Gradually,I began to get different responses.Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with their moms.
One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl.When she came home from university,her mother met her at the door and hugged(拥抱)her.This had never happened before,but her mom said,“Now that you have gone I have more time to myself.I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”
In my family we all say “I love you” a lot.While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth of feelings at that moment,it is almost like a blessing we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaning,even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the lax words we say to or hear from those we love.
【小题1】The foreign teacher _________.
A.comes from AmericaB.is a young woman
C.is expressive enoughD.knows much about China

A.She is meeting her daughter at the dour.
B.She loves her daughter and misses her.
C.She is glad that she has more time to herself.
D.She finds it interesting to hug her daughter.
【小题4】What's the main idea of the passage?
A.Say “I love you” more to your family.
B.Say “I love you” a lot to Chinese people.
C.Say “I love you” as a greeting to others.
D.Say “I love you” without great depth of feelings.

Since 1850.the temperature of Earth’s surface has increased about 0.6°C.Scientists predict it may warm much more by the end of this century.Who’s turning up the heat? Well, it seems that we are! Some of this global warming may be natural.However,nearly all scientists now agree that most of it is due to peoples actions.Over the past 150 years, we've added huge amounts of certain gases, especially carbon dioxide(CO2)to the air.These gases can keep heat near Earth's surface,so more carbon dioxide means more heat is kept near Earth's surface.Global warming may change the weather in ways that lead to more severe storms,floods and droughts.
We add carbon dioxide to the air when we burn things, especially fossil fuels.Fossil fuels are energy sources formed from the remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago.Coal,oil,and natural gas are all fossil fuels.People in the United States and other countries started bunting large amounts of fossil fuels more than a century ago.The amount d fossil fuels being burned each year has been increasing worldwide.The more we burn,_____________________.
What can we do to help? Nowadays to live a low-carbon life is quite popular in the world. Low-carbon means to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide.Saving energy and reusing are the key words. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make our lives low-carbon.
1.What problem can global warming cause?(根据短文内容回答问题)
2.What are fossil fuels?(同上)
3.请将第一段中的划线句子翻译成汉语。
