Recently, China announced it had achieved success in drilling fire ice or methane hydrate(天然气水合物,即可燃冰), from the seabed in the Shenhu area of the South China Sea. It produces high amount of energy when it is burned, leaving nothing but dioxide and water.
Many countries, including the United States and Japan, have long been doing research on methane hydrate, but taking it from bottom of the sea has been a common problem they are facing. According to reports, China succeeded in drilling methane hydrate for a number of days continuously and got an average of over 16,000 m³ daily. It is believed to be a big breakthrough.
Scientists say there is about 21,000 trillion (万亿 ) m³ of methane hydrate in the world. If we can use it, it can meet the world's energy need for 1,000 years. However, it is too early to say a new energy source (来源 ) has been found because we are still facing two main challenges ——environmental risk and economic (经济的) cost. When methane hydrate is taken from the seabed, it may go into the air easily. That's very bad for the environment because methane is one of the worst greenhouse gases. Besides, drilling methane hydrate is very expensive as well.
However, China's technology breakthrough is very important because it shows the way researchers across the world should take. It also raises hopes that one day we can drill methane hydrate as a source of energy.

C.Because it’s quite impossible for fire ice to take the place of other sources of energy.

Liang Xianghua, a 22-year-old girl from Guangxi University, has been well-known in China for her sand painting since her first work was used by CCTV.

Most people may think that people who write computer code (代码) must be good at Maths and logical (逻辑的) thinking. However, people who write computer code say that creativity is also important for writting code.
Software developers (开发者) in the USA have created a game called Osmo Coding Jam. The game is designed to help children use the creative side of their minds when learning to code. Children can play the game on iPads.
Tanya Dodge is the mother of two children who play the game. According to her, these activities give her children important skills for the future. “It’s an analytical (分析的) skill,” said Dodge.
But the developers believe writing code is not just an analytical skill. “We want to explore the creative side of coding that I think is often not as explored,” said Felix Hu, an Osmo engineer. Hu added, “The coolest part is that we’re teaching kids how to be creative with code and that’s a really important thing that kids should get comfortable with because coding is creative.”
Hu also sees many parents who feel that software code is a second language that children need to learn to succeed in future jobs. Tanya Dodge agrees. She said, “l think you’re going to have to understand the idea of coding will work well in the future.” Hu also explains that very often kids grow up not understanding how a computer works. He says by breaking it down to a lower level, kids can understand that the computer isn’t as smart as they think it is.
1.What is Osmo Coding Jam designed for?
A.Training kids’ logical thinking. B.Helping kids learn to code fast.
C.Helping children learn Maths well. D.Helping kids become more creative.
2.What does Tanya Dodge think of Osmo Coding Jam?
A.It needs to be improved. B.It can help kids play well.
C.It is of great help to today’s kids. D.It is not perfect in training kids’ analytical skills.
3.What can we learn from the passage?
A.If someone doesn’t learn Maths well, he or she can’t write code.
B.Creativity comes from writing code in daily life.
C.Writing code is just a skill which helps kids to analyze things well.
D.A lot of parents agree that software code will be useful for their kids’ future jobs.
4.The writer wrote this passage __________.
A.to tell how to learn to code well B.to tell about a new game for kids
C.to encourage kids to learn to study well D.to show the importance of creativity
