    　　Experts say that agriculture provides fourteen percent of the world's greenhouse gas emissions each year．The gases released include carbon dioxide，a major cause of global warming．

    　　Twenty－one nations around the world recently joined forces to better understand and prevent greenhouse gas emissions from farms．The Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases was launched at the United Nations conference on climate change．The meeting took place in Copenhagen，Denmark last month．

    　　Agricultural experts blame a number of farm activities for producing greenhouse gases．For example，animal waste and cattle digestive systems release methane(甲烷，沼气)gas．Fertilized soil and the burning of crop waste also release harmful gases into the air．Experts say some methods of farming－turning the soil to prepare for planting－also release harmful carbon dioxide．

    　　An official of the European Commission's Directorate General for Research says agricultural greenhouse gas emissions can be cut．Maive Rute suggests feeding animals a diet designed to reduce emissions．

    　　The new agricultural research group says protecting against global warming is only part of its purpose．It says the world also needs to develop better farming methods to feed growing populations in poor countries．

    　　United States Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said no one single nation can fight agricultural greenhouse gas emissions and increase food production at the same time．This is why the alliance is important for combining resources and finding new ones．

    　　The United States Department of Agriculture will increase spending on farm emissions research by ninety million dollars over the next four years．The total will reach one hundred and thirty million dollars．The U．S．D．A．will share the research with other countries in the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases and support researchers from developing countries that belong to the alliance．Money from the Borlaug Fellowship Program will let the researchers study agricultural climate change with American scientists．

    　　Mister Vilsack said that just as climate change has no borders，there should be no borders for research．

    　　Rome－Doctors and medical groups around the world last weekend reacted with strong opposition(反对)to the news that an Italian specialist is on the brink of cloning the first human baby．

    　　Dr．Severino Antinori, who is the head of a hospital in Rome, has been referred to in an Arab newspaper as claiming(声称)that one of his patients is eight weeks pregnant(怀孕)with a cloned baby．

    　　Antinori refused to comment on the reports, but in March 2001 he said he hoped to produce a cloned embryo(卵)for implantation within two years．So far seven different kinds of mammals have already successfully cloned, including sheep, cats and most recently rabbits．

    　　Doctors showed their doubt and were strongly opposed although they admitted that human cloning would finally come true unless there was a worldwide ban on the practice．

    　　Professor Rudolf Janise, head of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said：“I find it astonishing that people do this where the result can be foretold that it will not be a normal baby．It is using humans as guinea pigs．It makes people feel sick．”

    　　But Ronald Green, director of the Ethics Institute at Darmouth College in the US, said it is unlikely that an eight-week-old pregnancy would lead to a birth．

    　　So far all cloned animals have suffered from some different serious disorders, many of them dying soon after their births．

    　　Doctors are opposed to human cloning because they are worried about the welfare of the cloned child if there is one．

    　　“There are no benefits of cloned human beings, just harm, ”said Dr Michael Wilks of the UK．

    In a recently published book, I came across some exercises with interesting names such as fishbone diagrams, lotus flowers and clustering. As I used these exercises in my classes, I noticed that students were interested. They said more and wrote more. They enjoyed expressing their ideas and sharing them in groups. They were no longer passively waiting for the bell , but actively taking part in the lesson. I find that creativity can act as a way to increase participation and improve fluency.

    Creativity has become a popular word in recent years. Scholars in arts, psychology, business, education and science are all working to get a deeper understanding of it. Robert J. Stemberg is a creativity specialist and Yale professor of psychology. He defines creativity as “the ability to produce work that is both new (original) and appropriate(applicable to the situation ) ”. this definition is useful, as we want our students to use language in a new way and to use it correctly and properly. Most scholars say there are two types of creativity: big “C” creativity and small “c” creativity. Big “C” creativity refers to genius level thinking that results in artistic masterpieces and scientific breakthroughs. Small “c” creativity refers to everyday level thinking that can be used in any situation our emphasis is on the letter. While it goes without saying that any of our students could go on to be the next Picasso or Edison, our aim is to help students produce more ideas and use language in a new way.

    The underlined words “waiting for the bell ” in the first paragraph probably means______.

    A. longing for a phone call        

    B. hoping to have a bell   

    C. expecting the end of the class    

    D. waiting to speak in the class

    It can be inferred from the passage that the author thinks the exercises in the book were ____. A. popular    B. useful    C. scientific     D. creative   

    When you use a familiar word in a new way, you are ________.

       A creative in the sense of big “C” creativity.

       B. creative in the sense of small “c” creativity..

    C. not creative in the sense of big “C” creativity..

    D. not creative in the sense of small “c” creativity.

    The main purpose of the passage is to _________.

    A. show how useful the book is.

    B, explain what creativity 

    C. discuss how one can be creative 

    D. tell what reaching aims at
