  Did you see snow in your hometown last winter?Did you feel it was warmer than before?

  "There have been 21 warm winters in China since 1986," said scientists.They also said that in the past 100 years, as the global(全球的)temperatures went up by 0.74℃, the temperature in North China has climbed 1.4℃ in only 50 years.

  China needs to take quick action to cut carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)emission(排放), because it's the main reason for global warming.The good news is that China has seen the importance of going green.China set the goal of cutting energy use by 20 and pollution emission by 10 in the 11th Five-Year Plan.

  Can you slow global warming?Sure!You and your family can take steps to cut the amount of carbon dioxide that is sent out into the air.

  Here are some pieces of advice to help you save the earth.

  Wear used clothes.Wearing your brother's, sister's or dad's old T-shirt means you save the energy.

  Change your light bulbs(灯泡).Use energy-saving light bulbs.And don't forget to turn off the lights when you leave a room and turn off your television and computer when they are not in use!

  Ride the bus.Taking a bus saves a lot of oil every year.

  Say no to plastic bags.The next time your parents go to the market, ask them to use baskets

In the cold North there is always snow on the ground. Even in summer it is very cold there. Here is the home of the polar bear. He does not mind the cold. He has a coat of thick white fur.

  

  The polar bear likes the cold air as much as you like the warm sunlight. He does not fall on the ice because he has long hair on his paws and he walks very softly. He is very good swimmer and can swim a hundred miles form the shore. In the sea the polar bear catches seals for his dinner.

  

  He often walks over the ice and looks for a place where there is no ice.

  

  He knows that a seal likes to put out its head, so he sits down and watches. When the round head of the seal comes up, the bear jumps at it. He pulls the seal out of the water, kills it and eats it.   Sometimes the bear jumps into the water himself and catches a fish.

  

  In summer the polar bear also looks for berries. When he is very hungry he eats even the seaweed on the shore.

  

  The people who live in the far North hum the polar bear. His meat and fat give them food, his thick skin gives them a warm bed.
