More than 1,000 schools across the UK have signed up（报名）to a project with the aim of helping schools become carbon neutral（碳平衡的）by 2030. Carbon neutral means cutting down carbon emissions（碳排放）to zero or balancing them out in other ways. Carbon emissions are gases such as carbon dioxide（CO2）that come out into the atmosphere, where they make climate change worse. This has also caused the temperature rise.

Emissions are caused by all sorts of human activities, such as burning fossil fuels（coal, oil and gas）to make energy, cutting down forests and some types of farming. Becoming carbon neutral includes cutting the amount of carbon emissions a school produces and balancing those that are left by taking some carbon out of the atmosphere.

The project also shows how small changes can make a big difference. These might include thinking carefully about energy use, cutting waste, growing food closer to where it's eaten and walking or cycling to school if it is possible. Ways of balancing out the carbon emissions that a school still makes include planting trees and plants that take in CO2 as they grow.

Ysgol Bro Dinefwr Secondary School in Wales has promised to run entirely on renewable（可再生的）energy（such as wind and solar power）within the next three years. At Down High School in Northern Ireland, the students are looking after their own bees. So when flowers and crops produce food, that helps. Other schools have projects to cut food waste by weighing it after each meal to know how much is not being eaten. Some put the waste into a system that can turn this waste into useful things. They will be put on the garden to help plants grow.

Climate change is seen as a major global challenge. We can see it all around us. So join together, find out ways your school can put efforts to, and talk to a teacher about signing up.

(1). Which statement would the author most probably agree with?

A．	Human activities influence the environment.
B．	The fight against climate change will not succeed.
C．	More UK schools should be introduced to the world.

(2). How could the schools reduce carbon emissions?

A．	By moving to the countryside.	B．	By cutting waste and planting trees.
C．	By providing more spaces for students.	D．	By burning coal instead of gas to make energy.

(3). Why does the author give examples of the schools in paragraph 4?

A．	To praise these schools.	B．	To show the difficulties in the project.
C．	To call for more schools to take action.	D．	To explain the efforts made by the government.

(4). What is the best title for the text?

A．	How to Help Plants Grow	B．	Schools Sign Up to Help the Planet
C．	Carbon Emissions in the UK Schools	D．	Our Planet, a Wonderful Living Place

When we think of the most respected awards in the world, the Nobel Prize（诺贝尔奖）must be on the list.

Created by Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel in 1895, the prize recognizes achievements in sciences and the people behind them. Every year in October, the announcement of winners catches the world’s attention.

But what is the importance behind this award? According to founder Nobel himself, the prize is for people who have provided “the greatest benefit to humankind”.

A number of Nobel Prizes have rewarded discoveries that have led to cures for diseases and health problems. A lot of parts in telephones, computers and telecommunication systems are also the fruits of Nobel Prize—awarded work. Other prizes have recognized those who have helped to create a more peaceful world.

The individuals selected and the contributions they made show how science, literature and peace efforts improve and change the world and better our lives.

In the series of books about the Nobel Prize, the author says, “many everyday things would be impossible without the work of the winners of the Nobel science prizes”.

Think about the plastic bags. Plastic wouldn’t have been invented without Friedrich Wilhelm Ostwald’s research. The German scientist won the Nobel Prize in 1909.

In recent years, Chinese people have paid more attention to the results of the Nobel Prize. Chinese scientists and writers are known to the world by their achievements, such as 2012 Nobel literature prize winner Mo Yan, and Tu Youyou, China’s first Nobel winner in physiology or medicine in 2015. It’s an uplifting thing. Not only for the individual achievements, but also for the national confidence.

The Paper noted that the prize can encourage the young generation to do scientific research. Do you have any ideas about this?

Encouraging.

I looked at my blank page. All I’d written was the title “What I Want to Be When I Grow Up”. The rest of the class were all busy writing.

“You have five minutes to finish.” Ms Clark announced.

“I want to be a teacher when I grow up because…” I just wrote a few lines when the bell went. My friend Lisa told me she wanted to be an astronaut. I laughed as I pictured Lisa floating in space. After school, I told my grandpa my real dream. “You promise not to laugh. I didn’t write it on the school paper.” I said, “I want to be an actor.” He didn’t laugh. Instead he asked, “Why?”

“I just do, that’s all, more than anything in the world. I’d be really good.”

“OK. Angela, I once dreamed to be a reporter. We’d better find out if you’ve got any talent then, hadn’t we?” He looked up a number in his phone. “You need drama lessons, and I know just the right person—Jane Rozzi, a friend of mine.” Fantastic! I couldn’t believe my luck. I gave him a big hug.

“I’d better check with your Mum and Dad first to make sure they don’t mind their daughter taking Jane Rozzi’s acting class.”

No problem there. Next evening, sitting in my grandpa’s car, my stomach felt tight and my mouth was dry. He was driving me to my first acting lesson. “She is kind and gentle. Don’t be nervous.”

He was right. I liked Jane immediately. She told me I was talented and my voice was good. Just needed to get louder. After that we did some breathing and voice exercises. I practised day after day…

“You have a natural talent and, with hard work and luck, you will make it.” I always bear Jane’s words in my mind. Now I am an actor on the stage.

Wow! How my life has changed since I first stared at that blank piece of paper!

(1). Which of the following is Angela’s dream job?

A．

Teacher.

Astronaut.

Reporter.

Actor.

A．	Ms Clark didn’t like it.	B．	Her parents wouldn’t support it.
C．	She was afraid of being laughed at.	D．	She couldn’t decide it when she was at school.

(3). What does the underlined part in paragraph 7 probably mean?

A．

Angela felt sad.

Angela felt nervous.

Angela felt proud.

Angela felt interested.
