The hospital is one of eight nationwide using a child-friendly robot named MEDi to help the littlest patients overcome the anxiety and fear associated with most medical procedures. Carline Jean/Sun Sentinel/TNSFORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — MEDi is a robot who works in a hospital. He helps children with all of the things that scare them. With MEDi, kids are not as afraid of prickly needles, long hallways and doctor's tools they have never seen.Little Robot Is A Big HelpThe little blue and white robot helps at a hospital in Florida. He has just the right touch when it comes to keeping children from being afraid. MEDi looks like a toy. He is just 2 feet tall and weighs only 15 pounds, but kids love him.Dr. Patricia Rowe-King works with MEDi, and says he does many jobs. The robot is a buddy, pain coach and teacher. He tells them what to expect when they are having blood drawn or a cast taken off.By Sun Sentinel, adapted by Newsela staff on 08.08.16Word Count 561Level 690LMEDi Speaks English And SpanishMEDi is very unusual. There are only seven other robots like him in the United States. MEDi speaks English and Spanish, and has comforted kids from 2 to 14 years old. He gives tips on how to deal with pain and fear by taking deep breaths. He can also help with blood tests and shots. Most of all, MEDi is a friend to the hospital’s youngest patients.Tommy Boegler is 4 years old and has cancer. It is a serious disease that can spread all through the body. Tommy has become good friends with MEDi. When Tommy needs his blood drawn, MEDi is right there with him. The robot distracts him just before the needle prick. For example, to get Tommy to look away, MEDi asked for help getting something out of his eye. Then he said, “You’ll never guess what color my blood is. The same color as my toes.” MEDi can also sing, dance, tell a story, or play a game.More Fun, Less ScaryKasey Castro works with Tommy when he is at the hospital. Castro says that hospitals can be scary for kids. MEDi helps with that. Castro says, "He can make it more fun and less threatening for them.”Beth-Ann Boegler is Tommy's mother. During a hospital trip this week, she asked Tommy if he thought MEDi would know him. Tommy was sure he would, and he was right. MEDi can remember faces, and greets each child by name. When MEDi came into the room, Tommy’s face lit up. The robot said hello to Tommy. Then, he gave the boy a high-five and danced, playing his own happy song. Tommy danced too.Doctors Like MEDi TooThe past few months have been hard for Tommy. Tommy's mother says that he spent 100 days in the hospital, and has had two operations. Tommy is not afraid of the hospital now, thanks to MEDi. His mother says, “There were a lot of dark days for a while. We didn’t think he’d ever get out of the hospital." She says that Tommy is doing well.Dr. Hector Rodriguez-Cortes is Tommy's doctor. He says that when MEDi helps kids, he is helping the doctors and nurses too. He makes it easier for them to do their jobs. Rodriguez-Cortes says,“This thing that looks like a toy puts the patient in a more calm state.”Dcotors like MEDi too. Rodriguez-Cortes says, “I’ve danced with him, but it looks like the robot was doing a better job than me.”Quiz1Which sentence from the article would be MOST important to include in a summary of the article?(A)MEDi is a robot who works in a hospital.(B)MEDi looks like a toy.(C)MEDi is very unusual.(D)MEDi can also sing, dance, tell a story, or play a game.2What is the MAIN idea of the section "Little Robot Is A Big Help"?(A)MEDi is small in size and weighs very little.(B)MEDi is a robot that is colored blue and white.(C)MEDi helps children in the hospital in many ways.(D)MEDi works with a doctor at the hospital.3Read the sentence from the section "MEDi Speaks English And Spanish."He gives tips on how to deal with pain and fear by taking deep breaths.What does the word "tips" mean in the sentence?(A)strong warnings(B)small amounts of money(C)helpful suggestions(D)exciting pieces of information4Read the selection from the section "MEDi Speaks English And Spanish."When Tommy needs his blood drawn, MEDi is right there with him.

AP Photo/Jae C. HongLAS VEGAS — "Virtual reality" is an imaginary world created by computers. Using virtual reality (VR) feels like like stepping inside a movie. VR users are able to move around the world they see.Today VR is mostly used in video games. Users who put on a VR helmet feel as if they are inside the game. They might find themselves in a spaceship. They might feel as if they are driving a racing car or dodging bullets.All that might sound like a lot of fun. However, virtual reality still has a long way to go. Helmets are still big and clunky. VR can also make many people feel sick because of how real the games feel.Future Might Not Be With GamesVR makers are trying to fix those problems. They are also trying to figure out other uses for VR besides video games.By Los Angeles Times, adapted by Newsela staff on 01.19.15Word Count 514Level 710LThis week, a number of VR makers gathered in Las Vegas. They were there to let the public see what they've been up to.VR maker Oculus demonstrated its new headset. The headset goes around the users' head so they can hear and see using it. Users who put it on saw a T-Rex dinosaur. It looked so real they could almost feel its breath on them.In another example, people felt like they were lifted to the top of a tall building. They could walk to the edge and lean over. They could see traffic hundreds of feet below them.Other users saw a fight scene between two robots. They were able to follow the fight from the left, from the right and from behind.Nate Mitchell is one of the leaders at Oculus. His company makes the headset. Mitchell says Oculus will continue to work on video games, he said. However, he also says the future of VR might not be with games. He thinks VR might be used to make movies in the future.New Things VR Might DoThe movie industry is already very interested in VR. At least 13 short VR movies will be shown at a film festival this month.Another VR company, Jaunt, has created a VR camera. It allows people to make their own VR movies.Other companies are looking at ways to use VR. One company wants to use VR to help people meet even if they are hundreds or thousands of miles away from each other.VR might even be used to help people buy a car. It would allow customers to see the car they are interested in. They could change the car's color until they found just what they wanted.VR could soon be used by the military for training. Police and firefighters might use it for emergency drills.There are still problems with virtual reality movies. Very few people own VR headsets. Without a headset, they cannot watch VR movies. Because of this, companies don't yet want to make VR movies.Mitchell from Oculus does not worry. He said companies have just started looking at virtual reality."It's still early days," he said.Quiz1Read the following sentences from paragraphs 7 and 8.They could walk to the edge and lean over.They were able to follow the fight from the left, from the right and from behind.What can be concluded from these sentences?(A)You can do almost anything in virtual reality.(B)It shows that VR lets you do things easily.(C)Virtual reality is successfully applied in games.(D)It shows the capabilities of Oculus' VR headset.2Read the section "New Things VR Might Do." Why does the author say that "companies don’t want to make VR movies"?(A)to show that VR is used only in games(B)to show that VR cameras are very expensive(C)to show that virtual reality is still not perfect(D)to show that virtual reality is not popular enough3What is the meaning of the last sentence from the article?"It's still early days," he said.(A)Oculus produced VR headsets that let you see a T-Rex.(B)VR headsets are used by very few people.(C)Oculus is the first company to make VR headsets.(D)VR headsets are still in a developing stage.4Read the last 3 paragraphs of the section "New Things VR Might Do." What is the meaning of the following sentence?Mitchell from Oculus does not worry.(A)Mitchell is hard-working.(B)Mitchell is relaxed.(C)Mitchell is careless.(D)Mitchell is hopeful.Answer Key1Read the following sentences from paragraphs 7 and 8.They could walk to the edge and lean over.They were able to follow the fight from the left, from the right and from behind.What can be concluded from these sentences?(A)You can do almost anything in virtual reality.(B)It shows that VR lets you do things easily.(C)Virtual reality is successfully applied in games.(D)It shows the capabilities of Oculus' VR headset.2Read the section "New Things VR Might Do."

国家世界地理英语教材
国家世界地理英语教材As we explore the topic of world geography in national textbooks, we are faced with the challenge of presenting information in a comprehensive and engaging manner. Teaching students about the diverse landscapes, cultures, and traditions of different countries is not just about memorizing facts and figures, but also about fostering a sense of curiosity and wonder about the world around us. By incorporating interactive activities, real-life examples, and multimedia resources, teachers can make the study of geography more relevant and interesting for students.在国家教材中探讨世界地理这一主题时，我们面临的挑战是以全面且引人入胜的方式呈现信息。
教导学生有关不同国家的多样化地理环境、文化和传统不仅仅是让他们记忆事实和数字，更重要的是要培养他们对周围世界的好奇心和探索精神。
通过引入互动活动、现实生活示例和多媒体资源，教师们可以使地理学的学习对学生更具相关性和趣味性。
One important aspect of teaching world geography is to help students develop a global perspective and appreciation for the interconnectedness of different regions and cultures. By studying thephysical features of the Earth, the distribution of natural resources, and the impact of human activities on the environment, students can gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of global issues such as climate change, deforestation, and urbanization. This broader perspective can help students become more informed and responsible global citizens.教授世界地理的一个重要方面是帮助学生发展全球视角，提高他们对不同地区和文化相互联系的认识。

国家地理课后题答案
国家地理课后题答案第一章第一题1.一国或地区的经济贸易发展水平是否取决于其所处的地理位置？为什么？一个国家或地区所处的地理位置的优劣，会对该国或地区的经济发展产生直接影响。
从历史上看，地处内陆或荒漠干旱的国家，其经济发展水平一般落后于沿海或有着丰茂水土条件的国家。
绝大多数国际贸易中心的形成与其得天独厚的地理位置不无关系。
地处中纬度、海陆交通便利，尤其是在江河入海口所形成的平坦地域，最有利于发展成为国际贸易和航运集散地。
在国际贸易成本构成中，运输费用占相当比重。
海洋运输相对于陆路和航空等其他运输方式而言，具有运量大、运费低的特点。
因此，从一国的江河湖海港口城市，以船舶装载大批货物运往国外港口城市，运费要比翻山越岭的陆路节省许多。
于是，一些靠近国际航线的沿海城市或有入海口的大江大河沿岸中下游城市，便逐渐发展成为进出口货物的集散地。
需要指出的是，地理位置的优劣，并非某个国家或地区经济发达与否的决定性因素。
在当今经济全球化时代，随着省生产力和科学技术的发展，以及国际政治态势的变化，某些地理位置并不优越的国家和地区，也能跃居发达国家的行列。
在当今信息化时代，地理位置的重要性在一定程度上会被发达的互联网通讯和高速便捷的航空运输所削减。
由此可见，地理位置对于经济发展水平、贸易运输成本和国际贸易中心地位有着重要影响，但切不可将其绝对化。
随着生产力和科学技术的高速发展，特别是互联网的广泛使用、国际空运方式的日益普及，地理位置的优劣已不再是一成不变的了。
2、为什么说自然资源是世界财富的源泉和人类社会可持续发展的重要保障？答：自然资源是指存在与自然界中人类可以利用的各种要素和条件。
自然资源可分为有形资源（如土地、水体、矿产、动植物等）和无形资源（如阳光、风力、地热、潮汐等）。
自然资源具有可用性、整体性、变化性、空间分布不均匀性和区域性等特点。
自然资源是人类赖以生存和发展的物质基础和财富与源泉，是当代国际贸易大宗交易的主要标的，更是人类社会可持续发展的重要保障。

Photo: Kriangkrai Thitimakorn/Getty ImagesEditor's Note: Mount Everest in the country of Nepal is the world's highest mountain. People need special permission to climb it. No one has been allowed to climb it for over four months.This is because of the coronavirus. Climbers will be allowed back in the fall.Climbing Everest Is DangerousMount Everest is the highest mountain in the world. It is in Asia. Its highest point is on the border between China and Nepal. More people than ever want to climb to the top. It is a popular tourist site for climbers.It is a difficult climb, though. The mountain is home to many natural disasters. Everest climbs are expensive. They require the help of guides.I think people should think twice before they climb Everest. People should know about the real effects of climbing Everest. They don't have to stop climbing altogether, though. Maybe they should climb differently.By Emmett Wray, adapted by Newsela staff on 08.27.20Word Count 447Level 560LThe rise in climbers comes with a rise in garbage. There's a lot of litter on Mount Everest. The B BC said 11 tons of trash were removed in June 2019. That's almost as much as the weight of two elephants! There were empty food containers, tents and more. There were even four dead bodies.A Negative Impact On SherpasThose four bodies aren't the only deaths on Everest, though. Many climbers have died. Wikipedia says 306 people have died on Everest since 1922. Some of that has to do with age. Thirty years ago, only 1 in 500 Everest climbers was older than 60. Today that number is 1 in 25. The chance of reaching the top goes down after age 40. The chance of death goes up after age 60.It's not just visiting climbers who are at risk. Over 90 Sherpas have died on Everest. Sherpas are an ethnic group native to mountainous regions of Nepal and the Himalayas. They often assist in these climbs.Climbing has harmful effects on Sherpas. In Nepal, their average salary is only $48 a month. So Sherpas often become Everest guides. It pays better, but it's a riskier job. Sherpas account for about one-third of all climber deaths. Sherpas are not paid like other guides, though. A Western guide can make $50,000 a year. A Sherpa will make only $2,000 to $5,000.The Nepali government is changing things. It is forcing climbers to pay an extra sum of money before they climb. They get this money back if they bring their trash out. Another solution is to shut down climbs for a few years. This time can be used to clean the mountain.Emmett Wray is a sixth-grader. He attends the American Community School in Amman, Jordan.Quiz1The author has an opinion about climbing tourism at Mount Everest.

Whatever happened,Earhart probably died______she wished.“When I go,”she once said,“I’d like best to go in my plane.”Photo might be the missing Earhart clueAmelia Earhart in a 1937 file photo. Researchers hope images of her departure from Miami Municipal Airport may hold clues to her disappearance during an attempted around-the-world flight. Miami Herald/MCTMIAMI, Fla. — The photo of Amelia Earhart's plane was taken on June 1, 1937, just before dawn.Amelia Earhart was a famous female pilot and the photo of her plane was taken just before she took off on her famous flight around the world. On that flight, Earhart disappeared and was never seen again.The picture contains one strange detail. It shows a shiny silver patch on the body of the plane. The patch doesn't show up on any of the other pictures of Earhart's plane.Investigators wonder whether it's a clue to what happened to Earhart.Longtime Earhart investigator Ric Gillespie thinks so. He believes the silvery patch is really a repair. He hopes to use a computer to link it to a scrap of metal that might have broken off Earhart's plane. The scrap was found on a tiny Pacific island. The island is in the area where Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan disappeared.Connecting The DotsBy Miami Herald, adapted by Newsela staff on 07.16.14Word Count 698Level 740LGillespie hopes to match a pattern of holes in the photo to the holes in the broken piece.It would prove that Noonan and Earhart weren’t lost at sea, but made it to the island, Gillespie said. Gillespie is the head of the a group that tries to solve missing plane cases.If he's right, that would solve one of the greatest mysteries in the history of flight.Earhart's trip around the world didn't go well from the start. First, she landed at the wrong airport in Miami. The landing was rough and the plane needed repairs.In earlier photos of Earhart's plane, a window is clearly seen.However, in the photo shot on June 1, 1937, the window is gone. It is replaced by that odd silvery plate.The window must have been broken by the hard landing in Miami, Gillespie said. Earhart and Noonan probably just took it out and patched the plane instead.Then a month later, her radio antenna tore away.As she neared Howland Island in the Pacific, she radioed, “We are circling but cannot see island, cannot hear you." Messages continued for more than an hour. She then radioed her location: “We are on the line of position 157 dash 337. … We are now running north and south.”Then there was silence from the plane.They Kept On GoingRescue ships began looking for Earhart right away. Search planes spotted signs that someone had recently been on Gardner Island. Gardener is located about 400 miles from Howland. But the planes moved on.In 1991, the International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR) went to Gardner. There, investigators found a scrap of metal with rows of holes. The piece looked like it was torn from the outer skin of an airplane.The scrap was made from a metal that matched Earhart's plane. But the hole pattern didn't match. Gillespie began thinking the piece could have come from the patched window. He looked at photos of Earhart’s plane. Only one shot offered a good view of the patch — the 1937 photo.Gillespie said if they can match that hole pattern in the photo, he doesn't see how anybody can argue against this anymore.Gillespie thinks Earhart landed her plane on a coral reef just off Gardner Island. He believes she then radioed for help.Lots Of People Heard Calls For HelpAfter she disappeared, more than 100 shortwave radio listeners reported distress calls from a woman identifying herself as Earhart. At the time, people thought they were fakes. But Gillespie believes some of them may really have come from Earhart.One of the reports came from a Florida teenager. Her name was Betty Klenck. She died recently at the age of 92.Three days after the plane went down, Betty was listening to her radio. She heard a call from someone calling herself Earhart. For three hours, the teenager took notes. The woman asked for help. She said: “Oh, if they could hear me."Officials weren’t interested in the notebook. They thought Betty made up the story. Yet the notebook contains information Betty couldn’t possibly have known. The woman may really have been Earhart, calling from Gardner Island.Quiz1Where was the scrap metal believed to belong to Amelia's plane discovered?(A)Gardner Island(B)Howland Island(C)Miami runway(D)On a patch near Florida2Select the paragraph from the last section of the article that shows that distress calls from Amelia were ignored at the time, thinking they were fakes.3Select the sentence that contains a word that means "not too long ago."(A)Longtime Earhart investigator Ric Gillespie thinks so.(B)If he's right, that would solve one of the greatest mysteries in the history of flight.(C)Search planes spotted signs of that someone had recently lived on Gardner Island.(D)After she disappeared, more than 100 shortwave radio listeners reported distress calls from a womanidentifying herself as Earhart.4Read the sentence from the article.There investigators found a scrap of metal with rows of holes.What is the meaning of the word "scrap" as used in the above sentence?(A)copy(B)heap(C)mass(D)pieceAnswer Key1Where was the scrap metal believed to belong to Amelia's plane discovered?(A)Gardner Island(B)Howland Island(C)Miami runway(D)On a patch near Florida2Select the paragraph from the last section of the article that shows that distress calls from Amelia were ignored at the time, thinking they were fakes.Paragraph 20:After she disappeared, more than 100 shortwave radio listeners reported distress calls from a womanidentifying herself as Earhart.

Paragraph正文Michael Farmer is a meteorite hunter.Here,he talks about his unusual job.A National Geographic(NG):What’s the______(hard)part of your job?Michael Farmer:I’m always looking______new pieces[of meteorite rock],so I have to travel a lot.I’ve______to about70countries or______.The job can be dangerous because some rocks are worth a lot of money.On one such trip,I______(be)robbed and almost killed.That was scary.There are other issues,too.It’s illegal to take meteorite pieces from some countries.So you have to be very careful and learn the law.It’s different everywhere.B NG:Are there a______of meteorite pieces on Earth?Michael Farmer:Yes,there are millions,but most land in the forest,jungle,or ocean.They’re almost impossible to locate.______of the best places to find pieces is in the Sahara Desert in Africa.You can see them______(easy)in the sand.The heat also preserves the rocks well.C NG:What’s the______valuable meteorite you’ve found?Michael Farmer:I found one piece in the Middle East,and I sold it for$100,000.It was a small piece—about______size of a walnut.But the most valuable was in Canada.Three partners and I discovered a very rare type of meteorite______(call)a pallasite.It weighed53kilograms,and it’s around4.5billion years old.We sold it to the Canadian government for just under a million dollars.Now it’s in the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto.It’s a national treasure.Michael Farmer:Museums and private collectors are always______(call)me.New meteorites are______demand,and so they sell quickly.I also sell them to a lot ofscientists.They don’t have the time or money to search______these rocks.Without the help of hunters,99percent of these meteorites would be lost______science.Out in Space: Meteors and meteoritesTOP: An outburst of Perseid meteors lights up the sky in August 2009 in this time-lapse image; NASA/JPL. MIDDLE: A large meteorite created the Barringer Crater in Alabama; U.S. Geological Survey.Have you ever seen a shooting star? These bright flashes across the night sky last for only a few seconds. Shooting stars are not really stars; they're meteors. Meteors are chunks of space rock that fall through the Earth's atmosphere, the layer of gases around the planet. As they fall through the atmosphere, these bits of space rock heat up. This makes them glow for a short time.As these object fly through space, they are called meteoroids. They become meteors only when they enter the Earth's atmosphere, leaving glowing trails behind them.Tons of meteors fall to Earth and land on our planet each day. More pass through our sky every night. Sometimes, many meteors appear at the same time. This is called a meteor shower. We can predict some meteor showers because they happen at the same time each year. They appear when the Earth passes through the tail of a comet. A comet is an icy body that orbits our sun.Perseid Meteors Are Pieces Of Swift-Tuttle CometBy , adapted by Newsela staff on 10.21.16Word Count 741Level 730LMeteor showers are usually named after a star or group of stars near where they appear in the sky. The most famous meteor shower may be the Perseids. This meteor shower happens around Aug. 12 each year. Every Perseid meteor is a tiny piece of a comet called Swift-Tuttle.Sometimes these bits of rock and metal from space do not burn up in the atmosphere. Instead they fall down to Earth. Then they are called meteorites. Most meteorites found on Earth are small. They range from the size of a pebble to the size of a fist. However, some can be even bigger than a building. Early Earth was hit by many large meteorites, which caused a lot of destruction.Meterorites That Hit The Ground Cause CratersWhen a meteorite hits the ground at high speed, it leaves a crater. A crater is a bowl-shaped hole in the ground.One well-known crater is the Barringer MeteoriteCrater in Arizona. It is more than a half-mile across.The crater was formed when 164-foot-wide meteoritehit the Earth. This was about 50,000 years ago. About170 impact craters like this have been found on Earth.One of the most famous craters is the Chicxulub craterin Mexico. This crater was formed when a very largeasteroid hit the Earth 65 million years ago. Anasteroid is a rocky body that circles our sun. Thisparticular asteroid left a 180-mile-wide hole in theground and had a huge effect on the planet. It led to the extinction of most sea and land animals, including the dinosaurs.Cases of people being hurt or killed by meteorites are very rare. The first known case happened in 1954 in the United States. A woman named Ann Hodges was badly bruised by an 8-pound meteorite. It crashed through her roof in Alabama.They Look Like Rocks, With A Burned CrustMeteorites look like Earth rocks that have been burned on the outside. They have a burned crust, which forms when the meteorite passes through the atmosphere. It heats up and melts on the outside.There are three main types of meteorites: the "irons," the "stones" and the stony-irons. Most of the meteorites that fall to Earth are stony. It is hard to pick them out because they look a lot like Earth rocks. Iron meteorites are found more often, because they look very different from Earth rocks. More than 50,000 meteorites have been found on Earth. Nearly all of them come from asteroids. Like asteroids, these meteorites are billions of years old. The meteorites that don't come from asteroids come from Mars and the moon.The meteorites that fall to Earth are not bits of planets that have broken apart. In fact, they are the original materials that formed the planets. Studying meteorites allows us to learn about how the solar system first formed.Meteors In History4.55 billion years ago: The age of most meteorites.65 million years ago: The Chicxulub meteoroid kills off 75 percent of the animals on Earth, including the dinosaurs.1478 B.C.: First recorded observation of meteors.1794: Ernst Friedrich Chladni publishes the first book on meteorites. He suggests that they come from space.1969: Meteorites are discovered in a small area of Antarctica.

A firefighter monitors flames as a house burns in the Napa wine region in California in October 2017. All together, the fires torched more than 245,000 acres of land. Photo: Josh Edelson/AFP via Getty ImagesAlmost every year, wildfires rage across California. In2019, wildfires burned 260,000 acres of land.Today, it's more important than ever to understandhow wildfires work. We should know how they affectour health and the environment.How A Wildfire StartsWeather forecasters are not able to say when wildfires will break out. However, they know that three things are needed for a fire to burn: fuel, oxygen and a heat source.People start four out of five wildfires. But dry weather and strong winds can also turn a spark into a huge fire. This kind of fire can last for months. It can burn down thousands of acres of land.By Austa Somvichian-Clausen, National Geographic Society, adapted by Newsela staff on 01.24.20Word Count 676Level 680LLightning is another possible cause of forest fires. Scientists have found that as the Earth heats up, the amount of lightning increases. So does the number of fires started by lightning.A Tricky RelationshipWildfires actually help some forests. They clear away the small shrubs and trees in the lower part of a forest. After these plants are cleared away, sunlight reaches the forest floor. This allows other plants to grow. Fires can also clear away harmful weeds and diseases. In these cases, small fires actually help the ecosystem.In the past, people tried to put an end to these natural fires. They fought all fires, even the good ones. But putting out the good fires meant that there were more shrubs. More shrubs meant that there was more to catch on fire. This leads to even bigger, more intense fires.Today, fire crews are trying to create a safer relationship with fire. They purposely start managed wildfires in some places. Fire crews fight fires only where people live or around water systems. They are learning to let other fires burn themselves out. This is what nature intended.The Effects Of Fire On PeopleForest fires can heat up the entire planet. When plants and trees burn, they release carbon. If there is more carbon in the air, the Earth heats up more. This contributes to global warming.Some forests, such as boreal forests, store more carbon than others. Boreal forests have trees like pines and spruces. In these forests, the effects of climate change are stronger.For example, fires swept through the boreal forests of Canada in May 2016. They destroyed millions of acres of trees. They burned the soil on the forest floor. The soil contains a lot of carbon. Releasing it into the air leads to warmer temperatures.Wildfire smoke kills 339,000 people each year. Mostof these people live in Asia and Africa. The smoke canalso lead to health problems. When smoke affects anarea, the number of asthma attacks and hospitaladmissions increases.Sometimes, wildfires create a layer of unmoving air. Itis called an inversion. It holds smoke down at the levelin which people live and breathe. It is common inplaces such as the western U.S.Smoke contains small particles in the air. Whenpeople breathe in smoke, the particles can enter their bodies. They reach the respiratory system and affect breathing. Smoke also contains carbon monoxide. This gas damages the heart.How Fires Affect WildlifeSome wild animals have learned to live with wildfires. Some even do well after fires. But others cannot outrun the flames. Young or small animals are particularly in danger. Slow-moving animals such as koalas crawl up trees and get trapped.In some environments, fire can be a good thing. It can cause change, rebirth or new opportunities. For example, woodpeckers feast on bark beetles in dead and dying trees after the fire.A new forest will have different plants and animals compared to an old forest. For example, a 40-year-old forest might have a lot of wildlife that needs a "reset." They might need a change. Sometimes, the change can come from a fire.Quiz1Read the paragraph from the section "How A Wildfire Starts."Weather forecasters are not able to say when wildfires will break out.

The Rain Forest 热带雨林A tropical rain forest is like an apartment building. Just as an apartment building has many floors., a rain forest has many levels. Different creatures live at each level of the rain forest. The ground level is the forest floor. Leaves litter the ground. Many insects live here. Ants look for food under the leaves. Tapirs walk among the trees. They lift up the leaves looking for food. Armadillos scurry around. The next level is the understory. Tarantulas spin their webs to catch insects and birds. Anteaters use their long snouts to sniff out ants. Iguanas hunt for flies. Big snakes like boa constrictors wind around branches. Jaguars climb the lowest branches of the trees and wait for food. Sometimes they catch fish and crocodiles. The next level is the canopy. Macaws feast on fruit and berries. Sloths hang upside down, munching on leaves.Black spider monkeys swing on vines, chasing each other. The top of the rain forest is called the emergent level. Lots of birds live up here.

Soil can be sandy. Soil can be rocky. Soil can be like clay. Do you know how soil is made? How is soil made? It takes a very long time for soil to be made. Soil is made from pieces of rock. The pieces of rock are mixed with animals and plants that have died and rotted. Some rocks lie on top of the ground. Rain falls on them. Snow and ice cover them. The wind blows them. After a long time, the water, the cold, and the wind help break the rocks into pieces. These pieces of rock then break into smal ler and smaller pieces. After thousands of years, the tiny pieces of rock become soil. Rocks get smaller and smaller over time. Plants and animal also help make soil. Fallen leaves and dead plants lie on the ground. When animal die, their bodies also lie on the ground. Hot sun shines on them. Cold rain falls on them. Snow and ice cover them. After a long time, the heat, the water, and the cold help make the leaves and bodies rot into the ground. The rotting leaves and bodies help make the soil rich with nutrients. When the soil is rich with nutrients, plants can grow there. Leaves and bodies rot into the ground. Who needs soil? Most plants need soil to live. Plants have roots that reach down into the soil. The roots spread out. The soil helps plants stand up. The roots reach down into the soil. Plants get some of their food and water from the soil. Their roots collect the food and water that help the plants grow. Without soil, most plants could notgrow. Plants need soil. Animals need soil to live, too. Some animals eat plants. Other animals eat the animal that eat plants. Without soil, most plants could not grow. Without plants, animals would have nothing to eat. Animals need soil . people need soil to live, too. We use the soil to grow plants that we can eat. We feed plants to animals that we can eat . Without soil, most plants could not grow. Without plants, animals would have nothing to eat. Without plants and animals, people would have nothing to eat. People need soil. Clay: stiff, sticky dirt; nutrients: food necessary for things to grow; rich: full of good things; roots: parts of a plant that grows under the ground; rot: break down into smaller pieces.。

Unit 1 Reading---加拿大——枫树之国加拿大是世界上国土面积最大的国家之一。
仅次于俄罗斯，素来以绮丽的自然风光闻名。
加拿大有辽阔的荒原，北起北极寒地——那里的冬季平均气温通常是零下20摄氏度，南与美国毗邻——边境线长达8892公里，是世界上最长的没有军队或警察设防的边境线。
在东部和西部边界，加拿大濒临两大洋，即大西洋和太平洋。
在这片广袤的国土上，有冰封的荒原，绵延的山脉，辽阔的原野，无数的河流以及无边无际的森林。
在森林里和北方的冰封之地上，有着许多野生动物，海洋和河流中有大量的鱼类。
对于热爱户外娱乐活动的人来说，参加远足、帆船运动、越野滑雪时，他们可能好几个小时甚至好几天都碰不到一个人。
加拿大人特别是野生生物摄影师和猎人，非常喜欢这片荒原，相信你也会喜欢。
秀丽的风光，只是加拿大奉献给世人的宝藏之一。
加拿大总人口约三千万，其中绝大部分居住在城市。
你会为多伦多、蒙特利尔、温哥华和埃德蒙顿尔而兴奋不已——这些城市均已其大都市的生活方式、美丽的建筑和独特的文化而闻名世界。
多伦多是加拿大最大的城市，跻身世界上文化最多元化的城市。
那里的人们的祖先来自爱尔兰、葡萄牙、中国、黎巴嫩、意大利以及其他许多地方。
加拿大国家电视塔变化坐落于多伦多市中心，通常简称为CN塔。
它高553米，直耸云霄，是世界上第三高的塔。
港口城市蒙特利尔位于魁北克省境内，是加拿大第二大城市，也是世界上第二大法语城市（最大的是巴黎）。
魁北克原是法国的殖民地，1763年被英国接管，但其人口仍有70%以上是法国血统。
正因为如此，蒙特利尔的建筑和文化是旧世界（欧洲）和新世界（北美）的奇妙融合体。
这里有古老的建筑、历史悠久的教堂、狭窄的街道和小巷，而旁边则耸立着用玻璃和钢筋混凝土盖成的摩天大楼。
作为一座现代化有活力的城市，蒙特利尔的夜景也是生机勃勃的，有许多饭店和俱乐部，还有各种文化节和街头节庆活动，这些都确保了不会让任何游客感动厌倦。
面积较小，但同样名闻遐迩的是位于太平洋的不列颠哥伦比亚省的城市温哥华。
