It was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.

Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog’s legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other place.

This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future.

But the dream didn’t last long. The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately.

The villagers decided that they couldn’t just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides(殺蟲劑) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.

Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn’t been useless. They had been doing an important job—eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.

Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.

1.Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs?

A. The frogs made too much noise.

B. They need money to buy medicine.

C. They wanted to please the visitors.

D. The frogs were easy money.

2.What might be the cause of the children’s sickness?

A. The crops didn’t do well.

B. There were too many insects.

C. The visitors brought in diseases.

D. The pesticides were overused.

3.What can we infer(推斷) from the last sentence of the text?

A. Happiness comes from peaceful life in the country.

B. Health is more important than money.

C. The harmony between humans and nature is important.

D. Good old days will never be forgotten.

Tuvalu, a tiny country in the Pacific Ocean, has asked for help as it fears it will be swallowed up by the sea.

Storms and huge waves are a constant threat and none of Tuvalu's nine little islands is more than five metres above sea level. Salt water is already entering the country's drinking water supply, as well as damaging plants that produce fruit and vegetable. Without urgent help, the country's days are numbered.

But Tuvalu is not the first place to face sinking into the sea. Venice, a historic city in Italy best known for its canals, has sunk about 24 cm over the past 100 years. Experts say that it will have sunk another 24 cm by 2050. A century ago, St. Mark's Square, the lowest point in the city, flooded about nine times a year. Nowadays, it happens more than 100 times. While Venice is slowly sinking into the mud on which it stands, Tuvalu's rising sea level is caused by global warming.

The average global temperature has increased by almost 0. 5 centigrade degrees over the past century, scientists expect it to rise by extra 1.3 degrees over the next 100 years.

Warmer weather makes glaciers(冰川) melt, adding more water to the ocean. The warmer temperatures also make water expand, so it takes up more space, causing the sea level to rise. The sea level has risen 10.25 cm in the last 100 years.

The main cause of global warming is human pollution. Through burning coal, oil and gas, people have been increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as CO2. This adds to the power of the greenhouse effect, making the planet even warmer.

Many scientists believe that, if the warming is not stopped, there will be huge climate changes. The sea level could rise by one meter this century.

Should this come true, the sea will swallow up millions of homes and the world will be flooded with "climate refugees" looking for somewhere to live.

1. We can infer from the second paragraph that .

A. Tuvalu is in danger of being swallowed up by the sea

B. all Tuvalu's islands are about five metres above the sea level

C. drinking water in Tuvalu has been destroyed

D. Tuvalu is often flooded by storms and waves

2.The author uses Tuvalu and Venice as examples in order to explain .

A. they are the first places sinking into the sea

B. they are both sinking into the mud where they stand

C. they will disappear in the future

D. their trouble is caused by global warming

3.What does "climate refugees" mean?

A. People who are forced away from their homeland by climate.

B. Climate changes.

C. Rare animals.

D. Climate effect.

4.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Tuvalu's nine little islands are less than five meters above the sea level.

B. The average global temperature has risen by 13 centigrade degrees over the past 100 years.

C. The warmer temperature causes the sea level to rise.

D. There will be huge climate changes unless the warming is stopped.

During the holiday of National Day, I saw a heated crime action movie naming Operation Mekong，that was based on a true story known as the Mekong Massacre. Two Chinese commercial vessels were hijacked while traveling down the Mekong River of the Golden Triangle, one of the large drug-manufacturing region in the world. All 13 sailors killed, and 900,000 methamphetamine pills were found on the spot by Thailand officials. The Chinese government sent a group of admirable officers to the Golden Triangle so as to uncover a truth of the case. The police informer in Thailand concentrated all her attention on the usual clues. By updating clues constant, he assisted his colleagues to acquire thorough evidence of the crime. Eventually officers cracked the criminal organization and brought criminals to justice. All in all, I highly recommend this film to all of you, so it is eye-catching and thought-provoking, and I think it is worth to seeing.
