【推荐1】The researchers found that more than half of the decline in the Colorado River’s flow is connected to increasing temperatures, and as warming continues, they say the risk of “severe water shortages” for the millions that rely on it is expected to-grow.
The study also examined the impact that action to control pollution of heat-trapping gases could have on the river’s water supply. Some decrease in the flow is likely no matter what actions are taken, but without any cuts to emissions, the river’s discharge（流量）could shrink by between 19% and 31% by the middle of this century.
The Colorado River starts high in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and Wyoming. On its route, this river supplies major cities like Denver, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and San Diego, as well as farms in the US and Mexico that grow the vegetables that feed, millions around the world. It supports around $1 trillion of economic activity each year.
Global warming is reducing the snowpack that feeds the river. As temperatures increase, snow cover in the region is declining, meaning less energy from the sun is reflected back into space and more warms the ground as heat. The river’s flow has also been cut down by a severe drought during the last two decades, leaving its two main reservoirs-Lake Powell and Lake Mead -barely half full.
Udall, a senior climate scientist at Colorado State University, says these new findings show that the only way to save the river is by addressing the root cause of the problem: climate change. “The science is crystal clear we must reduce greenhouse gas emissions immediately,” he says. “We now have the technologies, the policies and favorable economics to accomplish greenhouse gas reductions. What we lack is the will.”
1. With cutting emissions, the river flow would reduce by ______.| A．less than 19% | B．about 30% |
| C．over 19% | D．between 19% and 31% |
| A．It is a long river. | B．It is very important. |
| C．It makes adequate electricity. | D．It flows through more than two countries. |
| A．The weather becomes drier. | B．The river gets more water. |
| C．The ground gets more heat. | D．Droughts break out frequently. |
| A．Lack of will. | B．Lack of cooperation. |

【推荐2】The words “England” and “English” are perhaps the two most misused words in the English language. The British themselves often say England and English when they really mean Britain and British.
What’s the difference, you may ask. To understand the question we have to know something about the history of the country and its people.
We all know that Britain is an island country separated from the European continent by the English Channel. Actually there are two main islands. The larger one is called Britain, or Great Britain, and the smaller one is called Ireland, and these two, together with many small islands make up what is called the British Isles.
The British Isles is a geographical term. It is not the name of any country. At present it is made up of two countries, the larger of which is the one we very often inaccurately call England. The full official name is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, but people call it Britain or Great Britain for that. It consists of England, Scotland, Wales and a small part of Ireland－the northeastern part.
People still tend to call Britain England not only because England is the largest in area and the most populous but mostly because England is the strongest and also the most influential country in every respect before it absorbed the other three countries(The whole of Ireland was a part of the United Kingdom at one time). Call it national chauvinism（沙文主义） if you like, but people in England call Britain England out of habit rather than conscious sense of superiority, though it annoys the Welsh and especially the Scots who are proud of their separate national tradition.
1. The British Isles is made up of_______.| A．one country | B．two countries |
| C．two and a half countries | D．three countries |
| A．Great Britain |
| B．England |
| C．United Kingdom |
| D．the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland |
| A．England is the largest in area and has the largest population. |
| B．people in England do so out of habit. |
| C．England is the nearest to the European continent. |
| D．England is the strongest and also the most influential in every respect. |
| A．The formation of the UK. |

【推荐3】“I was really scared at first, then it was kind of fun. Then, when more earthquakes happened, I didn’t think it would ever stop. I wanted to sleep with my Mom and Dad. I only felt safe in a room with a table to hide under,” said San Jose, age 9. Your child may appear to be acting well immediately following an earthquake and then suddenly turn shocked over a small aftershock ( 余震 ) two months later. Children react a little slowly to shocks, so it may be months before any of these feelings are expressed to others. The following are common behaviours, which can be seen in children after an earthquake. Along with them, there are some suggestions for ways that you can support them.
After an earthquake, a child may refuse to talk with others.
Suggestions: Try to get your children to do such activities as drawing or playing with pets together. Talk about what you are feeling or how you might feel in their situation.
Some children may be angry after an earthquake.
Suggestions: The behaviour results from their feeling helpless or hurt inside. It is a try for them to feel stronger. Do not blame the child in front of others. Talk to them about your experiences with loss and anger.
Some children may become depressed after an earthquake.
Suggestions: Their eating or sleeping habits may change. Their behaviour may be less active. Depression can even happen many months after the earthquake. It is very important to address the children’s needs in time, like some food, clothes and friends. Don’t talk about shocking news with them.
Actions speak louder than words to children, so share your tears, anger, and helplessness openly with them.
