    Is there link between humans and climate change or not? This question was first studied in the early 1900s. Since then, many scientists have thought that our actions do make a difference. In 1997, the Kyoto Protocol explained our role in the Earth’s changing atmosphere and set international limits for gas emissions(排放) from 2008 to 2012. Some countries have decided to continue these reductions until 2020. More recently, the Paris Agreement, stuck by nearly 200 countries, also aims to limit global warming. But just now how much warmer it will get depends on how deeply countries cut carbon emissions.

    3.5℃

    This is how much temperatures would rise by 2100 even if nations live up to the initial Paris promises to reduce carbon emissions; this rise could still put coastal cities under water and drive over half of all species to extinction.

    2℃

    To meet this minimum goal, the Agreement requires countries to tighten emissions targets every five years. Even this increase could sink some islands, worse drought(干旱) and drive a decline of up to a third in the number of species.

    1.5℃

    This is the most ambitious goal for temperature rise set by the Paris Agreement, after a push by low-lying island nations like Kiribati, which say limiting temperature rise to 1.5℃ could save them from sinking.

    0.8℃

    This is how much temperatures have risen since the industrial age began, putting us 40% of the way to the 2℃ point.

    0℃

    The baseline here is average global temperature before the start of the industrial age.

    1.It can be concluded from paragraph 1 that _______.

    A. the problem of global warming will have been quite solved by 2020

    B. gas emissions have been effectively reduced in developed countries

    C. the Paris Agreements is more influential than the Kyoto Protocol

    D. humans have made continuous efforts to slow down global warming

    2.If nations could only keep the initial promises of the Paris Agreement, what would happen by the year 2100?

    A. The human population would increase by one third.

    B. Little over 50% of all species would still exist.

    C. Nations would not need to tighten their emissions targets.

    D. The Agreement’s minimum goal would not be reached.

    3.If those island nations not far above sea level are to survive, the maximum temperature rise, since the start of the industrial age, should be _______.

    A. 0.8℃B. 1.5℃C. 2℃D. 3.5℃

    The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Grain Rain (Chinese: Gu Yu)，as the last term in spring, starts on April 19 and ends on May 4.

    Grain Rain came from the old saying, “Rain brings up the growth of hundreds of grains,” which shows that this period of rainfall is extremely important for the growth of crops. The Grain Rain marks the end of cold weather and a rapid rise in temperature. Here are five things that you may not know about the Grain Rain.

    Key time for agriculture

    Grain Rain brings a marked increase in temperature and rainfall and the grains grow faster and stronger. It’s a key time to protect the crops from insect pests.

    Sandstorms occur

    Grain Rain falls between the end of spring and the beginning of summer, with infrequent cold air moving to the south and wandering cold air in the north. From the end of April to the beginning of May, the temperature rises much higher than it does in March. With dry soil, an unpredictable atmosphere and heavy eastern winds, gales and sandstorms become more frequent.

    Drinking tea

    There is an old custom in southern China that people drink tea on the day of Grain Rain. Spring tea during Grain Rain is rich in vitamins and amino acids (氨基酸), which can help to remove heat from the body and is good for the eyes. It is also said in the south that drinking tea on this day would prevent bad luck.

    Eating toona sinensis

    People in northern China have the tradition to eat the vegetable toona sinensis during Grain Rain. An old Chinese saying goes “toona sinensis before the rain is as tender as silk”. The vegetable is nutritious and can help to strengthen the immune system. It is also good for the stomach and skin.

    Grain Rain Festival

    The Grain Rain festival is celebrated by fishing villages in the coastal areas of northern China. Grain Rain marks the start of the fishermen’s first voyage of the year. The custom dates back to more than 2,000 years ago, when people believed they owed a good harvest to the gods, who protected them from the stormy seas. People would worship the sea god and stage sacrifice food on the Grain Rain festival, praying for a wonderful harvest and a safe voyage for their loved ones.

    1.Grain Rain got its name to show ________.

    A. the cold weather is already gone

    B. rain at this time is important to the crops

    C. The highest temperature

    D. the last term in lunar calendar

    2.People in southern China drink tea on this day ________.

    A. to prevent bad luck

    B. to cure the eye diseases

    C. to fight against the sandstorm

    D. to strengthen the immune system

    3.It is a custom to eat the vegetable toona sinensis ________.

    A. in the coast areasB. in the south

    C. in the northD. in the east

    4.If a fisherman wanted to get fish in the sea in the past, he would ________.

    A. get the fresh vegetables

    B. drink tea in this festival

    C. fight against the sandstorm

    D. worship the sea god

    Retired or not?

    Is retirement harmful to your health?

    It’s an interesting question in light of a new study that finds senior citizens who work are in better health than their counterparts who don’t.

    Researchers from the University of Miami examined data on more than 83,000 Americans. All of them were at least 65 years old. 1. The majority of these workers ―61 percent―held white collar positions.

    Compared to people with white-collar jobs, those who were unemployed or retired were 2.75 times more likely to report their health as “poor” or “fair.”

    2. For example, the survey included information on serious conditions like cancer and heart disease. Compared to those with white-collar jobs, those who were unemployed or retired were 49 percent more likely to have a history of at least two of these health problems.

    Finally, interviewers asked whether people needed any assistance or special equipment to do things like stand, walk or climb stairs. 3. .

    “Being unemployed or retired was associated with the greatest risk of poor health across all health status measures. 4. ”, the study authors concluded.

    The results don’t show that working past retirement age is what made senior citizens with jobs healthier than their non-working neighbors. 5. This also makes them sad.

    Still understanding the health benefits connected with working past age 65 could motivate business to find ways to hire older workers even if they have some limitations, researchers wrote.

    A. People were amazed at the results.

    B. Older Americans with jobs also ranked higher on health.

    C. 13 percent of them were still working part time or full time.

    D. Even after controlling for smoking, people still can’t be healthy.

    E. Most retired Americans are reported to be unhealthy for some reason.

    F. Retired seniors were 88 percent more likely than white-collar workers to have limitations.

    G. Indeed, the authors stated that health problems force some people to drop out of the work.
