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

　　It's sometimes said that the English are polite people. This can make life
difficult for foreigner. Suppose a foreign boy asks an English girl to go out with
him and she says, " If I finish my work, I'll meet you in the café at 7 o'clock," Is
she saying " yes" or " no" to his invitation?
　　In grammatical terms, she is using the conditional structure. By using the
conditional, speakers of English can avoid giving a "yes" or " no" answer to a
question. It enables people to be diplomatic. If the girl doesn't want to go out
with the boy, she won't turn up at the café. She will let him understand she is still
working. If she wants to go out with him, but doesn't want to appear too easy to
catch, she has achieved that with her reply. But in this case, as she uses the first
conditional which shows probability, she is quite likely to turn up at the café.
Being polite can make life very difficult!
　　The conditional is often used by people in the news-politicians, for
example-who to avoid speaking out their ideas. This is very important if they are
on their way to discuss an agreement. No one wants to give away his or her
points before he or she starts. A government spokesman might say to a group of
workers, " if we could pay you more, we would.' The use of the conditional here
makes room for argument although the speaker is using the second conditional
form, which shows improbability. So it is unlikely the workers will get their
rise.
　　"If" is a small word, which appears often in the English language. It can
show politeness, reported speech and conditionals such as the
First-probability-if I can come to your party, I will; the
second -improbability-if I saw you tomorrow, I'd give you the book; and the
third-impossibility( meaning it is too late to change something that has
happened)-if you have told me. I would have helped you.

1. The using of the conditional can make a speech _____.

A. clearer
B. quicker
C. more polite
D. more exciting

2. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Language used in the news should make room to argue.
B. Usually English girls are not easy to catch.
C. English people never speak out their ideas in public.

3. In the passage," If we could pay you more, we would." probably means _____.

A. the workers will make more money
B. the spokesman doesn't give any promise
C. the spokesman keeps his word
D. the workers' problems aren't difficult

A. the conditional in communication
