The awful night rolled slowly away, and the dawn greyly broke on THE LAST DAY OF POMPEII! The crowd looked upwards, and saw, with unspeakable fear, a huge cloud     1     (shoot) from the top of the volcano. It took the form of     2     huge tree: the trunk, blackness, the branches, fire! This fire moved and changed in colour with every moment: now it was wildly bright, now of a pale and dying red, and now again it burnt with an     3     (bear) light!

The cries of women broke out; the man looked at each other, silent. At that moment, they felt the earth shaking     4     their feet; beyond in the distance, they heard the crash of falling     5     (roof). A moment later, the mountain—cloud seemed to roll towards them, dark and rapid, like a river; at the same time, it threw out a shower of ashes and huge pieces of     6       (burn) stone! Over the empty streets—over the forum—far and wide—with many a noise crash in the stormy sea—     7     (fall) that awful shower!

Each turned     8     (fly)—each running, pressing, pushing against the other. If, in the darkness, wife     9     (separate) from husband, or parent from child, there was no hope of their meeting again. Each hurried blindly and     10     (fear) on. So came the earthquake. . . and so ended life in Pompeii.

I am fond of wild animals, which existence makes our world lively and colorfully. However, many wild animals in nature are in the danger. It is believed that human beings mainly lead the terrible problem. Thanks to many governments’ and organizations’ efforts, much attention from the world are paid to the protection of wild animals. As a member of human beings, I am sure willing to protect the wildlife. So far, I had launched two activities to show the public the great achievements make in the protection of the wildlife. Many of my classmates have joined myself. I hope that more people can participate in the activity to advertise the importances and benefits of environment protection.

5 . People are increasingly wearing gloves and masks in public, in order to protect themselves and reduce the spread of COVID-19 (新冠病毒). Obviously, though, those gloves and masks need to come with proper disposal (处理) directions.

To bring awareness to the current problem, Algarra started a campaign , TheGloveChallenge. “If you see a glove, snap a shot,” Since launching the campaign on March 23, Alagarra said they’ve received over 700 pictures from people all over the United States and in other countries including Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, Canada and Japan.

Everywhere you look in America, it seems, there are discarded gloves and masks in streets and parking lots, left behind by people who couldn’t be bothered to find a nearby trash bin. It got so bad in New York City over the weekend, that Ryan McKenzie, who lives in Manhattan, began cleaning it up. “I couldn’t believe what I saw so I went to the store and bought a grabber to pick them up. It’s hateful and needs to be brought to people’s attention. "

After receiving so many reports of gloves and masks left behind in Parsippany, New Jersey, the local police department issued a warning: “ Clean up and properly deal with your used gloves and wipes. If you do not, you can be charged and fined up to $ 500.”

Of course, it shouldn’t take a heavy fine to encourage people to clean up after themselves. There are quite a few reasons why leaving your gloves behind is among the worst things you can do during this pandemic. If the used gloves have the virus on them, you could infect essential workers (一线工人). The concern that led you to put on gloves in the first place shouldn’t be reserved for you and your family; you should be just as concerned about others getting corona virus, too.

I was nearly as excited about the show this morning as the children. They were looking through the window at the magic outside and talking away     1    (excited). The fact is that the snow was as strange and     2    (fascinate) to me as it was to them.

The first fall of snow is     3     magical event. You go to bed in one kind of world and wake up     4    (find) yourself in another quite different. The very secrecy and     5    (quiet) of the thing makes it more magical.

When I got     6     this morning the world was a cold place of dead white and pale blues. Then the sun came out,     7    (shine) bravely and flushing the snow with delicate pinks.

An hour or two later everything     8    (be) a cold sparkle of white and blue. There was indeed something curiously disturbing about the whole prospect.

Now it has changed again. The glare has gone and no touch of the disturbing remains. But the snow is falling heavily. I can see the children     9    (flatten) their noses against the window, and there is running through my head a rhyme I used to repeat     10     I was a child.

“Save environment, save life” is a most common and important saying nowadays. Just by making a few small changes, we can make a big contribution and save our environment. When the entire society starts making these changes, we     1    (create) a beautiful world.

Start by     2    (turn) off the lights, TVs, and other electrical items when we leave a room. If possible, avoid using a dryer but hang your clothes on a clothes line. Not only will you save power and reduce your contribution to     3    (globe) warming, but also you will have clothes that last longer.

Replace plastic bags     4     recycling paper bags. The white pollution is one of the     5    (big) environmental problems that are now troubling the whole world.

Do your bit for nature by planting a tree. If all of us plant trees,     6     will make the whole world green.

Aside from     7     is mentioned above, there are many things you can do as far as environmental     8    (protect) is concerned. Just pay attention to your own deeds that are contributing     9     the environmental problems on this planet. Just do your bit and it will make a big     10    (different).

Global warming is the increase in the temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans. It     1    (cause) by the build-up of carbon dioxide and other     2    (pollute) in the atmosphere,     3     trap the sun's heat and warm up the planet.

Over the past 100 years, average temperatures around the world     4    (rise) by between 0.5℃ and 1℃. Scientists predict     5     temperatures will rise     6     a further 1℃ to 3.5℃ during the 21st century.

Global warming has already caused a wide range of problems. Sea levels are rising due to the     7     (melt) of polar ice sheets. Countries around the world have faced extreme weather conditions, such as hurricanes, floods and heat waves. For example, the south of France and     8     (north) Italy experienced     9     (extreme) heavy rain and 1, 000km/h winds in November 2016. Over 200mm of rain fell in just one night. This resulted     10     the flooding of the River Po near Turin in Italy.
