【推荐1】Dear John,

I’m very excited about your coming and staying in Chichester (奇切斯特)next week. The day after tomorrow I have to go away on business for three days, but I will be back when you come. I’ll leave a key with my friend next door at Number 21, so you won’t have to wait before I return. Now let me tell you how to get here.

Walk along the Star Road until you come to the first traffic lights and then turn right. Turn left at the next crossing. Go straight, and Lansdowne Road is the second on the right. There you can find my house, the door at Number 22. Oh! I nearly forgot to tell you about the most important thing: please take a sleeping-bag with you.

Well, I must go now. I have to go and take the car from the garage(汽车修理店) on Land Road. I was out yesterday when it broke down on the way.

【推荐3】What can you make if I give you pieces of paper? Look at Zach’s works! He is from No. 15 Middle School. He wasn’t born with this talent.

When Zach was a fourth-grader, he found his brother’s paper-folding book. It got him interested in origami (折纸). Following the 50 steps shown in the book, he made his first work, a paper bird within two hours. Since then, he has read many books about origami and practiced in his spare time.

Zach used to fold paper himself until he met Nathan, an eighth-grader at his school, who also loves origami. They set up a paper-folding club together. To their joy, their school sponsored it by offering them a big room to host a paper-folding class every Wednesday afternoon. The club soon attracted people. Now it has more than 20 members.

【推荐2】In late June 2018, the weather forecast for western Japan predicted heavy rain, but no one was prepared for what was to come. Some areas received over 100 cm of rain. Cars and trucks floated (漂浮) down the streets. Whole buildings were washed away. At least 225 people died, and millions had to leave their homes.

Changing Weather

The weather is changing. Over the last few years, heavy rains have caused floods (洪水)in many parts of the world. There have been droughts (干旱) in Brazil and Australia. Heat waves in Europe have killed thousands. There have been more storms with more power than ever before. In 2017 alone, the cost from weather events around the world was 340 billion dollars.

Warmer and Wetter

As more wild weather events happen, people are asking questions: What is happening with the weather? And why? Is this natural, or are we to blame (责备)? The answer seems to be: a little of both. Wild weather is natural. But most scientists agree human activity has made the Earth warmer. This global warming makes heat waves more likely. The higher temperatures also cause more water to enter the air. This causes heavier and more often rain. Many scientists also believe global warming makes storms stronger.

Take It or Stop It

This means we’re likely to see more wild weather. “But we don’t have to just stand there and take it,” says scientist Michael. He and other experts say we need to stop the Earth from getting warmer. We also need to be prepared, to do things that will help save lives.

1. According to the passage, we can learn that ________.

A．only floods have been caused over the years around the world

C．few people in western Japan were ready for the heavy rain in 2018

Over time, the two men became good friends. They shared lots of things together and even talked about what they hoped to do after they got better.

However, the man found that there was no window at all, just a blank wall.
