Scientists said that in the past 100 years， as the global(全球的) temperatures went up by 0.74℃， the temperature in North China has climbed 1.4℃ in only 50 years.

China needs to cut down carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) emission(排放)，because it’s the main reason for global warming. The good news is that China has seen the importance of going green. China has decided to cut energy use down by 20% and pollution emission by 10% in the 11th Five-Year Plan.

Can you slow down global warming? Sure! You and your family can take action.

Here are some pieces of advice to help you save the earth.

Wear used clothes. It means that you save the energy when you wear your brother’s， sister’s or dad’s old T-shirts.

Change your light bulbs(灯泡). Use energy-saving light bulbs. Don’t forget to turn off the lights when you leave a room and turn off your television and computer when they are not in use!

Take a bus. Taking a bus saves a lot of oil(石油) every year.

Say no to plastic bags. The next time your parents go to the market， ask them to use baskets.

Open the windows. Don’t often use the air conditioner(空调). Let some fresh air in. When you have to use the conditioner， set the temperature higher in summer and lower in winter to save energy.

Reading is the key to school success and，like any skill，it takes practice. A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. An excellent sportsman practices until he can play quickly， correctly and without thinking. Educators call it “automaticity(自动性)”.

A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and finding the meaning of the words. With practice， he stumbles less and less， reading by the phrase. With automaticity， he doesn’t have to think about the meaning of words， so he can give all his attention to the meaning of the text.

It can begin as early as first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois schools， Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found that automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three times as fast as the others， but also got better results in exams.

According to Rossman， the key to automaticity is the amount(数量)of time a child spends reading， not his IQ. Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books， magazines or newspapers will probably reach automaticity. It can happen if a child turns off TV just one night for reading at home.

You can test yourself by reading something new which is suitable for your level. If you read aloud with expression， with a sense of the meaning of the sentences， you probably are an automatic reader. If you read brokenly， one word at a time， without expression or meaning， you need more practice.

A . IQ is the Key to the Automaticity

B.TV is Bad for Children’s Reading

D. Automatic Readers Will Be Successful

During all this time， I never stopped thinking about escape(逃跑). When I travelled across to the other side of the island， I could see the other islands， and I said to myself， “Perhaps I can get there with a boat. Perhaps I can get back to England one day.”

So I decided to make myself a boat. I cut down a big tree， and then began to make a long hole in it. It was hard work， but about six months later， I had a very fine canoe(独木舟). Next， I had to get it down to the sea. How silly I was! Why didn’t I think carefully before I began to work? Of course， the canoe was too heavy. I couldn’t move it! I pulled and pushed and tried everything， but it didn’t move. I was very unhappy for a long time after that.

In my sixth year on the island， I did make myself a smaller canoe， but I did not try to escape in it. The boat was too small for a long journey， and I did not want to die at sea. The island was my home now， and I was just happy to be alive. A year or two later， I made myself a second canoe on the other side of the island. I also built myself a second house there， and so I had two homes.

I kept food and tools at both of my houses， and also wild goats. There were many goats on the island， and I made fields with high fences to keep them in. They learnt to take food from me， and soon I had goats’ milk to drink every day. I also worked hard in my corn fields. And so， many years went by.
