    I am so worried about global warming. We need stop cutting down all of the trees so that they can absorb the carbon dioxide. I think the Kyoto Protocol （京都议定书) to stop pollution is a great idea ,and I hope our country will decide to follow it, too.

                                                                 — Eli S.,10,Texa

    People should do all they can to help stop pollution, even if it is something as little as recycling your soda can. Every little thing helps. Maybe schools can put recycling bins in classrooms. Students can bring in all of their cans and bottles and see how many the school can collect.

                                                      — Lindsey A.,11, Massachusett

    The United States should take action to help stop pollution. Since we are one of the richest countries, we should at least spend a little money to help.

                                                      — Aaron z,11,Massachusett

    It is not good that the United States is not following the Kyoto Protocol. The U.S. is one of the most pollution emitting (污染物排放)countries in the world. Even if the rest of the world agrees to follow those rules, without the U. S. and its big businesses agreeing, global warming will still be a big problem.

                                                             —Augustine S.,11,Ohio

    The world needs to learn more about global warming problems. If we do not do something soon then some of Earth’s coolest animals will become extinct. People should use solar power instead of things that pollute the atmosphere!

                                                        — Jillian J.,10,Pennsylvania

    Global warming is very dangerous, and it must be prevented. Even if people think that it cannot be stopped ,we should  at least try. Stopping global warming is more important than keeping our businesses going. What about the penguins(企鹅)and the polar bears? We can’t just let them become extinct.

                                                            —Samantha R.,11,Illinois

    Why does Lindsey suggest schools put recycling bins in classrooms?

      A. To keep the classroom clean          B. To help protect wild animals.

      C. To help protect our earth.     D. To collect waste in classroom.

    Augustine worries that global warming problems will be difficult to solve because       .

      A. many people think that global warming cannot be stopped

      B. more and more trees are being cut down

      C. American government spends little money stopping pollution

      D. the U.S. refuses to follow the Kyoto Protocol

    Jillian and Samantha believe that      .

      A. solar power is earth-friendly energy   

    B. global warming threatens animals’ survival

    C. America is the richest country in the world

    D. the penguins and the polar bears are dying out

      What do the six children mainly talk about?

         A. Environmental problems.         B. The Kyoto Protocol.

         C. Animal protection.              D. The climate change.

    A year ago, at the annual pre-Grammy party, Whitney Houston, the great diva（女歌手）, walked on stage and closed the evening with a brilliant performance．

    Last Saturday, Houston was once again the  1  of the showcase before the Grammys, but her presence was a posthumous（死后的）one．

    Earlier that day, pop music’s former queen was found dead in her hotel room． She was 48．

    This, no doubt, is sad news to the whole music industry and her fans all over the world,   __2__ what a legendary life and remarkable career that she once had．

    At her peak, Houston was the golden girl of the music world． From the mid-1980s to the late 1990s, she was one of the world’s  3  artists． She strongly impressed the audiences with effortless, powerful and peerless vocals．

    Besides multi-million record sales, Houston made countless hits such as The Greatest Love of All, I Have Nothing, and the mostly famous I Will Always Love You．

    But by the end of her career, it was a  5  fall for this superstar． Houston has been addicted to drugs． Her album sales plummeted and the hits stopped coming． Her once calm and peaceful image was shattered by a wild manner and unusual public appearances, and her once natural voice became rough and hoarse, unable to hit the high notes as she  6  ．

    “The biggest devil is me． I’m either my best friend or my worst enemy,” Houston told the ABC in an interview in 2002．

    In 2009, Houston staged what seemed to be a successful  7  with the album I Look To You, which debuted on top of the charts．

    But hoarse voice,   8  concerts, and continuous illness–Houston’s comeback trail wasn’t smooth at all． In an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2009, Houston confessed: “It （show business） is too much． So much to try to live up to, to try to be, and I wanted out．”

    Now that Houston has finally taken a break from all the chaos, may she rest  9  ．

    Henry Ford’s parents left Ireland during the potato famine and settled in the Detroit area in the.1840s. Ford was born in what is now Dearborn, Michigan. His formal education was limited, but even as a youngster, he was handy with machinery. He worked for the Detroit Edison Company, advancing from machine-shop apprentice to chief engineer.

    In 1893, Ford built a gasoline engine, and within a few years, an automobile, still a novelty item of the rich or do-it-yourself engineers. In 1899, Ford left Edison to help run the Detroit Automobile Company. Cars were still built essentially one at a time. Ford hoped to incorporate ideas from other industries----standardized parts as Eli Whitney has used with gun manufacturing, or assembly line methods George Eastman tried in photo processing ----to make the process more efficient. This idea struck others in his field as crazy, so before long, Ford quit Detroit Automobile Company and began to build his own racing cars. They were good enough to attract backers and even partners, and in 1903, he set up the Ford Motor Company.

    He still met resistance to his ideas for mass production of a car the average worker could afford. But he stuck to his goal and finally in 1908, began production of the Model T. Ford gradually adapted the production line until in 1913, his plant incorporated the first moving assembly line. Demand for the affordable car soared even as production went up: before Ford stopped making the model T in 1927, 15 million had been sold, and Ford had become the leading auto manufacturer in the country. In addition to the moving assembly line, Ford revolutionized the auto industry by increasing the pay and decreasing the hours of his employees, ensuring he could get enough and the best workers. During the Model T era, Ford bought out his shareholders so he had completed financial control of the now vast corporation. He continued to innovate, competitors (growing more powerful though fewer in number) began to cut into Ford’s market share.

    Ford and his family spent a food deal of time and money on charitable work. They set up a historical museum in Greenfield Village, Michigan, and most notably set up the Ford Foundation, which provides grants for research, education, and development.

    “A bore (讨厌鬼) is a fellow who opens his mouth and puts his feats (技艺) in it,” said Ford

    B. he hoped to carry out his own idea on car-making

    C. people didn’t like to work with him
