Tide is the regular rise and fall of the ocean level caused by the movement of the sun, the earth and the moon. It is considered a promising source of green energy to produce electricity in coastal areas.

    To make use of tidal energy, we need to build tidal power stations. The bays and the river mouths where the tide is high(the tidal range is more than 10 metres) are usually perfect sites to build tidal power stations. There are many such places in the world. According to the IRENA ( the International Renewable Energy Agency), by just using 2% of our coastlines, we can produce 4,383TWh of ocean power each year, enough to meet 16.4% of the world's electricity needs.

    To build a tidal power station, we need to build a dam. In the dam are many turbines and on each turbine there is an electric generator'. When the tide rises,water comes through the dam,the turbines turn and the electric generators work, producing electricity.When the tide falls,water goes out through the dam, the turbines turn again.The electric generators continue to work.

    Tidal energy has its advantages.Using tidal energy to produce electricity is much cheaper than using the traditional energy, like coal or gas. For example, the Rance Tidal Power Station in France has been there for over 50 years, producing around 5.000.000TWh of electricity each year. The cost is only 1.3 cents/TWh.

    Tidal energy can be used nearly 24 hours a day. As long as the sun, the earth and the moon exist,we can use it to produce electricity. But without sunshine, there is no solar energy. When there is no wind,electric generators will not work. In addition, with the development of modern technology, tidal energy can be stored and used to produce electricity continuously.

    However, we still have some problems to solve. It is difficult to build a dam in the sea, and the cost is very high.Moreover it's expensive to keep a tidal power station in its best condition.Scientists are working on them.

(1)A tidal power station is best built   

A.at a river mouth with wind

B. along the coast with waves

C. In a bay with tide high enough

D.in coastal areas with sunshine

(2)The underlined word "turbine" in Paragraph Three is a machine to   

A. make the tide rise and fall

B. make an electric generator work

C. let water go through the dam

D.keep the dam in good condition

(3)What advantage does tidal energy have?  

A. We can use it to get useful tide.

B. It can improve the ocean environment.

C. We can use it nearly all the time.

D. It meets 16. 4% of the electricity needs.

(4)How can we make better use of tidal energy?  

A. By digging more bays and river mouths.

B. By building cheaper tidal power stations.

C. By closing traditional electric power plants.

D. By using tidal energy to replace other energy.

   Antarctica (南极洲) is at the southern end of the Earth. It is the coldest, driest and windiest place on our planet. What would it be like to live and work there?

    On Oct 15, 50 Chinese researchers took a ship named Xuelong 2 from Shenzhen to Antarctica. Xuelong 2 is the first icebreaker (破冰船) made in China. It took two years to build Xuelong 2. It is reported that Xuelong 2 is one of the world's best research icebreakers.

    Chinese researchers have been to Antarctica 35 times. Because of its unusual environment, researchers from around the world have been going there to do study (研究) for many years. Some studies can only be done in Antarctica. For example, there is little air pollution there. This makes it easier for scientists to study the weather, atmosphere (大气) and stars.

    The study of Antarctica's geology (地质) is also important. Rocks in Antarctica can tell us what the weather was like long time ago, and help us understand how the Earth has changed over time. There are also many wild animals, such as penguins (企鹅),seals (海豹) and birds. Scientists can learn how animals live in cold places by studying them.

    Xie Zhouqing is a professor at the University of Science and Technology of China. He was part of China's 15th research trip to Antarctica. He said, "Life in Antarctica is not easy.It is tiring and sometimes dangerous, but it is still quite fun."

Since NASA's Viking Task tested Martian soil back in the 1970s,we've known that Mars (火星) is covered with a desert—harmful to life as we know it.But since tasks to Mars paid attention to what lies under the desert,a different picture has started to appear.

    This discovery of water under the Mars' South Pole is the result of radar echoes (雷达回波) that were picked up by an instrument on a spaceship that's been moving around Mars for 15 years.To stay liquid (液体) under the long﹣frozen desert of Mars,the researchers say this lake must have a lot of salts mixed in it.

    It is very cold and saltiness would make it a very hard environment for any living thing.But the lead researcher,Professor Roberto Orosei from the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics,said it was not impossible for things to live there.

    Keep in good health

    The best treatment(疗法) to illness is a good health. You can eat everything you want but make sure that your diet is healthy.

    Exercise

    Exercising will make you stronger, which means a stronger immune (免疫的) system too.Exercise often so that your body will keep healthy. It doesn't matter what kind of exercise it is.What is important is you are making your body stronger to prevent illness from attacking you.

    Be happy

    Happy people are healthy people. Their life is stress﹣free, so they are more likely to be safe from illness. If you are unhappy, which affects your immune system, you will easily get sick.

    Trees can save money by helping people save energy(能源). Trees stop the sun shining on buildings. They also block(挡住) the winter wind. That helps people use less energy to make their homes or offices warm or cool. Saving energy is saving money.

    Trees have another way to help a city save money. When it rains, there will be a lot of water in a city's sewers (下水道). Cities need lots of money to clean that water. But before the rainwater gets to the dirty sewers, trees can take some into themselves. With the help of trees, there is less water to clean.
