---The fish has gone bad.

--You ______ (应把鱼存放) in the refrigerator. (keep)

The fish has gone bad. T_____________ it away.　

Andy rode slowly on his way to school, day-dreaming about the fishing trip that his father had promised him．He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him．

       He rode along until a strange around drew him to the present．He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the heavens．What he saw shocked and terrified him． A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like black cloud and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him．

       With no time to waste, Andy sped off in the opposite direction, riding without knowing how to escape the swarm. With a rapidly beating heart and his legs pumping furiously he sped     down the rough road．As the bees came closer, his panic increased．Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings（蜇）．The last sting had landed him in hospital-and that was only one bee sting! He had been forced to stay in bed for two whole days．Suddenly, his father’s words came to him．“When you are in a tight situation, don’t panic．Use your brain and think your ways out of it．”

       On a nearby hill, he could see smoke waving slowly skywards form the chimney of the Nelson family home．“Bees don’t like smoke,” he thought．“They couldn’t get into the house．”Andy raced towards the Nelson house, but the bees were gaining ground．Andy knew he could not reach the house in time．He estimated that the bees would catch up with him soon．

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, he spotted a small dam used by Mr. Nelson to irrigate his vegetable garden．Off his bike and into the cool water he dived, disappearing below the surface and away from the savage insects． After holding his breath for as long as he could, Andy came up for air and noticed the bees has gone．Dragging himself out of the dam, he struggled up the hilly slope and rang the doorbell．Mr. Nelson took him inside and rang his mother．

“You’ll really need that fishing break to help you recover, ” laughed his mother with relief．“Thank goodness you didn’t panic.” But Andy did not hear her．He was dreaming once again of the fish he would catch tomorrow．

Global warming is the process of earth’s atmosphere heating up. Over the last 100 years, the average temperature of earth’s atmosphere has gone up 1 Fahrenheit. The weather has not changed exactly the same way in every area of the planet. But scientists think that the rise in average temperature is already affecting the earth’s climate.
Many scientists now believe that global warming is caused by cutting down trees, producing more trash, and polluting the environment which are some of the reasons why the temperature has gone up. Many scientists believe that the biggest causes of global warming are new human technologies that release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
The greenhouse effect is not new. Certain gases in the atmosphere, like carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane, making it hard for heat energy to go into space. In the past, the climate didn’t change much because nature produced just the right amount of greenhouse gases to deal with it.
Today, most scientists are pretty sure that the rising temperature can’t be blamed on nature. Ever since the industrial revolution in the 1700s, humans have relied on machines for daily life. And many of those machines give off a lot of greenhouse gases. An increase in the release of greenhouse gases from human activities is throwing nature off balance.
The climate is a very complicated thing, but many scientists agree that the rising atmospheric temperature has already damaged the environment. Sheets of ice, called glaciers, are melting in Antarctica and other parts of the globe. As glaciers break off and melt into the oceans, they are adding warm water to the oceans and causing the sea level to rise.
Over the past 100 years, the sea level has risen 6-8 inches around the world. That means land along the coasts is beginning to disappear under water. Bigger and warmer oceans are also adding to other weather problems caused by pollution in the atmosphere. Some places have received more rain, others have had bigger storms and a few areas in the world have experienced unusual droughts.
