That warm day was the only day of the week without rain. I opened the door, took a seat and began to enjoy the wonderful sunshine. Suddenly, I noticed that the house near mine had been sold. An elderly lady was in front of the door, with some beautiful flowers beside her. I walked to her. She looked to be in her early eighties and had the prettiest white hair.

“ Hi! My name is Karmen,” I said smiling brightly at the old lady. She smiled back and said,” Hello, Karmen. I’m Kitty.” Her voice was very strong for someone at her age. Later, I learned that she was alone and had no family or relatives to help her. From that day on, I often visited her and helped her with her housework and sometimes she gave me some delicious food. A year passed, and I considered her to be one of my best friends.

One day, I walked over for my morning visit and knocked on the door, but there was no answer. I knocked again, and she didn’t still turn up. So I let myself in, using the key she had given me. I checked her living room and then her kitchen. I finally went into her bedroom, and she was lying peacefully on her bed. Beside her there were two notes. One was her will(遗嘱)， which said all that she had would be given to me. The other was a thank-you note. I went to her bedside and cried sadly.

Though several years has gone by, I still miss her deeply. Whenever I look at the beautiful flowers in front of her house, I remembered the wonderful friendship we had.

When you watch TV and play video games you make global(全球的) warming worse! It may seem hard to believe, but when electricity is made, so are greenhouse gases(温室气体). This means that every time you use electricity you help make global warming worse!

Cars are also making global warming worse. They burn fossil fuels(化石燃料) in their engines, and send lots of greenhouse gases into the air.

Global warming may be a big problem, but we can all help stop it. People can try to drive their cars less. Or even get ones that run on sunlight! You can also help. Let’s try one of these top ideas:

(1) Try to use less electricity. Turn off lights, your television, and your computer when you’ve stopped using them. To make electricity, fossil fuels are burned in big factories. But burning fossil fuels also makes greenhouse gases. You should also try to watch less TV.

(2) Plant trees. Not only is it a fun thing to do, but it is also a great way to lower the number of greenhouse gases in the air. Trees take carbon dioxide out of the air when they grow.

(3) Don’t throw away your rubbish, try to recycle it. If rubbish is not recycled, it is put in the ground. There it rots(腐烂) and makes a greenhouse gas called methane(甲烷).So try to recycle cans, bottles, plastic bags and newspapers. It’ll make you feel great! And it’ll help the Earth.

1.If we _____, we may make global warming worse.

A．use less electricity                      B．drive a car on sunlight

C．plant trees                            D．throw away rubbish

2.We may use more electricity by______.

A．turning off lights                        B．shutting down computers

C．turning up CD players                    D．turning off TV

3.______ will make global warming worse.

A．Methane          B．Cans             C．Newspapers       D．Bottles

4.Using less electricity does good to global warming because_______.

A．the less electricity is used, the more greenhouse gases are produced

B．the more electricity is used, the more greenhouse gases are produced

C．more electricity is used, less greenhouse gases are produced

D．less electricity is used, more greenhouse gases are produced

5.Which is the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

A．Driving cars on sunlight helps to stop global warming.

B．When cars burn fossil fuels, they produce greenhouse gases.

C．When trees grow, they send carbon dioxide into the air.

D．By planting more trees, we can lower the number of greenhouse gases in the air.

Life comes and goes quickly. Keep writing diaries, they will help you record life and become a better person.

Record now to remember later

There are many little things that happen to you every day. These things show you how you should do later in life. So remember to write them down. ①And you can share the things written in diaries with your lovers later in life.

Write to express feelings

②_______ can help you express your _______ and help you move on with your life. For example, if you have someone close who hurt you or even someone who passed away, you have no chance to tell them the things you wanted to tell them. Then you can write a “letter” in your diary to express yourself. It must be a very healthy way.

Record your success

Another great thing to add to a diary is all of your successes. When you are in your unhappy days, it’s nice to go back and see what you have done successfully before. The diaries about your successes help you move forward in your life.

Understand your failures

Recording your failures is as important as recording your successes. You can learn from your failures. Writing down your failures and learning from them keeps you from making the same mistakes over and over. You should understand that you can and will fail, and it keeps you calm and realistic.
