People often think of the North Pole（北极） and the South Pole as similar frozen（冰冻的）
wastelands．They are both places with very cold temperatures and few people live there．However，the North and South Poles are not much alike as people may imagine．
The North Pole has no land，only thick ice．Temperatures seldom go above 32°F，at which water turns into ice．Most of the time，it stays below zero．In winter temperatures are usually as low as﹣30°F．
Although conditions were very poor，people tried for many centuries to reach the North Pole．About 100years ago，two men，Robert Peary and Mathew Henson，were able to get to this environment full of troubles and difficulties．They reached the North Pole on March 8th，1909．It was really a hard trip for them．
There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic（北极圈） on foot．People who stayed there may face many problems：very cold temperatures，sudden storms，and even hunger．Most of the area is uninhabited．Few people can live in such a difficult place．
People might think that with such low temperatures for most of the year，the ice would be thick and hard．However，this is not true in the Arctic．The movement of the ocean water under the ice may often cause many different changes on the surface．Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water（水道） called"leads"．Anyone who falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes．

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 m 3 daily． It is believed to be a big breakthrough．
Scientists say there is about 21， 000 trillion（ 万亿 ）3 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．
（1）What is Paragraph I mainly about ？
A． China is producing a large amount of energy from fire ice
B． China is making good use of fire ice throughout the country
C． China has already succeeded in drilling fire ice from the seabed
D． China has turned fire ice from the South China Sea into daily energy
（2）What's the common problem many countries are facing when doing research on fire ice？
A． How to take it out from the bottom of the sea
B． How to turn it into useful energy at the lowest cost．
C． How to make it cheap on the future energy market．
D．How to change it into a traditional form of energy．
（3）Why is it too early to say a new energy source has been found？
A． Because it's too difficult to find the place where the fire ice lies and how to drill it．
B． Because it's not easy for fire ice to go into the air and be good for the environment．
C． Because it s quite impossible for fire ice to take the place of other sources of energy
D．Because it's expensive to drill fire ice and it may do great harm to the environment
（4）Where can we probably read the article？
A．In a storybook．
B．In a newspaper．
C．In a travel guide．
D．In a advertisement
