years. It could be getting warmer on its own, but many scientists think that people
are making the Earth warmer by making a greenhouse effect (湿室效应).The
greenhouse effect is important. Without it, the Earth would not be warm enough
for us to live on. But just a little warmer than it is now could cause problems for
humans, plants and animals.
Many of the things we do every day can change the Earth's temperature by
sending greenhouse gases (废气)into the air. We send greenhouse gases into the
air when we watch TV, turn on lights, dry hair, play video games, wash or dry
our clothes or drive cars. The rubbish (waste) from factories and homes also
produces greenhouse gases.
Even a small change in temperature can affect (影响)our weather. This can
cause changes in the sea levels, the air, flooding and our fresh water.
The change in the temperature can also cause changes in the living places
for animals and plants, endangering many animals.
Global warming (全球变暖)is a big problem, and every little bit we do
can help. We can save electricity. We can save energy in other ways such as by
taking buses or walking rather than driving cars. We can recycle to reduce the
rubbish and save natural resources such as trees, oil and metals. We can buy
products that don't do bad to the environment and we can turn to solar energy.
Remember the little bit that you do will bring a better world.
B. Walking to school.
C. Driving a car.
D. Watching TV.

Close contacts between Japan and the rest of the world were created in the twentieth century. In the last forty years, business contacts between Japan and the West have become very important. Many foreign companies now have offices in Japan and Japanese businessmen do business around the world. Differences between Japanese and Western ways of doing business, however, often bewilder foreign businessmen and make doing business in Japan difficult for foreigners.
The American businessman, for example, wants to start talking business immediately. He does not want to wait. The Japanese businessman， on the other hand， likes to arrive at decisions after giving them serious thought. Another thing foreign businessmen have difficulty in understanding is when a Japanese means “Yes” or “No”. This is because of cultural differences between Japanese and Western society(社会)， Which make it difficult for a Japanese to say “No” directly.
In the USA， it is easy to say “No” to something one does not want to do. But in Japan， it is very difficult to say “No”. To refuse an invitation or a request(请求) with “No” is felt to be impolite. It is thought to be selfish and unfriendly. So instead of saying “No” directly， the Japanese have developed many ways to avoid(避免) saying “No”. These can help them avoid hurting other people’s feelings. However， this often makes their ways of doing business rather difficult for foreigners to understand and follow.
1.What often makes foreigners feel difficult to do business in Japan?
A. Their different ways of doing business.
B. Their different lifestyles.
C. The fact that the Japanese never say “No”.

2. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined expression “bewilder foreign businessmen” in Paragraph One?
A. cause foreign businessmen to change their minds.

C. attract foreign businessmen’s attention.
D. make foreign businessmen think wrongly.
3.What fact does the passage lead you to believe?
A. American businessmen do things more slowly than Japanese ones.
B. American businessmen like to say “Yes” and “No”.
C. Americans usually say what they are thinking.
D. Americans do not say what they think or feel clearly.
4.From the passage we can infer(推断) that __________.
