　　St James's Palace has announced that while Miss Middleton will wear a wedding ring．Prince William has chosen not to．

　　Rings are typically exchanged by couples during their wedding to represent commitment(承诺)to each other．Does it matter if husbands don’t wear a wedding ring?

　　Prince William's father wears one, his grandfather doesn't and their decisions weren't seen as strange．But reactions to Prince William's decision show that wedding rings for husbands are now the norm．One young man, who spoke to the BBC, thinks William is setting a bad example, saying："I think it's disgraceful(不光彩的)．It's a tradition．You have to wear a ring really．And for someone of the royal family to do that, it's not right．"

　　Do you know that when you eat an ice-cream cone (卷筒冰淇淋) you are eating a dish?

　　Ice-cream cones were first made in 1904 in St. Louis, Missouri, U.S. A. They were made because the ice-cream man ran out of dishes.

　　Ernest Hamwi was a pastry (馅饼) maker. One day he saw crowds of people buying ice cream nearby while he was selling pastry.

　　“Where is the ice cream?” he heard people say.

　　“It takes too much time to get one. ”

　　“Come on. We don't have it all day!”

　　Ernest saw the ice-cream man washing dishes faster and faster. He saw the man's helper drying dishes faster and faster.

　　The men would wash and dry a few dishes. They would put ice cream in the clean dishes and give the dishes of ice cream to some people.

　　They would take the money in one hand and dirty dishes in the other. They would wash and dry a few more dishes. Then they would hurry to fill them with ice cream.

　　The ice-cream man and his helper just could not keep up with the crowd.

　　“I wish I could help,” Ernest Hamwi said to himself. “What they need are some dishes that don't have to be washed.”

　　Suddenly Ernest had an idea. He cooked a kind of pastry and rolled(卷) it. The pastry was open at one end and closed to a point at the other. The pastry soon cooled.

　　Then Ernest pushed his way through the crowd to the ice-cream man.

　　“See if this will hold ice cream,” Ernest said to the man. “It is a dish you can eat.”

　　The crowd around the ice-cream man became quiet. The people watched the ice-cream man fill the dish with ice cream.

　　“I'll try it!” a man said.

　　The rest of the crowd watched as he ate it.

　　“It is very good!” said the man. “Try one, everybody!”

　　Ernest Hamwi's cones became popular soon. And today, people in many different parts of the world eat ice-cream cones thanks to Mr. Hamwi.

　　Tuvalu, a tiny country in the Pacific Ocean, has asked for help as it fears it will be swallowed up by the sea．

　　Storms and huge waves are a constant threat and none of Tuvalu’s nine little islands is more than five meters above sea level．Salt water is already entering the country’s drinking water supply, as well as damaging plants(种植园) that produce fruit and vegetable．Withouturgent(紧急的) help, the country’s days are numbered．

　　But Tuvalu is not the first place to face sinking into the sea．Venice, a historic city in Italy best known for its canals, has sunk about 24 cm over the past 100 years．Experts say that it will have sunk another 20-50 cm by 2050．A century ago, St．Mark’ s Square, the lowest point in the city, flooded about nine times a year．Nowadays, it happens more than 100 times．

　　While Venice is slowly sinking into the mud on which it stands, Tuvalu’ s rising sea level is caused by global warming．

　　The average global temperature has increased by almost 0.5 centigrade degree over the past century．Scientists expect it to rise by an extra 1-3 degrees over the next 100 years．

　　Warmer weather makes glaciers (冰川) melt, adding more water to the ocean．The warmer temperatures also make water increase, so it takes up more space, causing the sea level to rise．

　　The sea level has risen about 10-25 cm in the last 100 years．

　　The main cause of global warming is human pollution．Through burning coal, oil and gas, people have been increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as CO₂．This adds to the power of the greenhouse effect, making the planet even warmer．

　　Many scientists believe that, if the warming is not stopped, there will be huge climate changes．The sea level could rise by one meter this century．

　　Should this come true, millions of homes will be swallowed up by the sea and the world will be flooded with "climate refugees (难民) looking for somewhere to live．
