Since that time, life has evolved into many different types or species. However, scientists estimate that more than 99% of them are now extinct.-When did the first plant appear on earth?–about 2 billion years ago.There have been several extinction events in the history of the Earth.In an extinction event, many life forms, or species of life, die out.The causes of mass extinction events are unsolved mysteries.These events are not predictable, and can happen at any time. Scientists think that some of them were started by asteroid impacts or volcanic eruptions.Events like this can change the global conditions that life depends on.-What happens in an extinction event?–Many species of life become extinct.One major extinction event happened about 66 million years ago.That event may have been started by a large asteroid that hit the Earth. As a result, the dinosaurs and about half of all species on the planet, died out.When the asteroid hit the Earth, it started a chain of events.A chain of events is a series of events linked together, like a chain.-What may have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs?–An asteroid hit the earth and started a chain of events.This particular chain of events happened over a period of months and years.When the asteroid hit the Earth, it caused a huge cloud of dust to enter the atmosphere.This cloud of dust blocked the sun and darkened the Earth for many months.Without enough sunlight, plants and plant-eating animals quickly died. With the deaths of so many plants and animals, the food chain collapsed This led to the deaths of many more species.-What caused the food chain to collapse?–The deaths of many plants and plant-eating animals.Mass extinction events have played an important part in the evolution of life.In fact, some extinction events have helps to accelerate evolution.For example, some mammals lived through the age of the dinosaurs, but they couldn’t compete.When the dinosaurs were removed, the mammals were able to compete more successfully.Once they could compete, mammals evolved to higher state.Without extinction events, perhaps we wouldn’t be here tod ay.-What may accelerate the evolution of mammals?–the extinction of dinosaurs.Mammals couldn’t compete successfully with the dinosaurs, so their evolution was blocked.Scientists estimated that there had been at least 5 mass extinctions in the last 540 million years.They also believed that we have entered a new extinction event. Species are becoming extinct at a much faster rate than before. Instead of the asteroid or volcanic eruptions, the current event is a resultof human activities.Human activities, for example, have led to global warming.-What is causing the current mass extinction event?–human activities-What do scientists believe has already started?–a new extinction event.Global warming is a result of an increasing in carbon gases in out atmosphere.These gases trap heat from the sun, so the Earth is getting warmer.As a result, sea levels are rising, and weather patterns are changing.In addition, we humans are destroying the habitats of many plants and animals.Cutting down forests, and polluting rivers destroys the habitats of many forms of life.-Why are sea levels rising?–With the rise in temperature, the polar icecaps are melting.There is no longer any doubt that this is happening.Species of life are disappearing at an increasing rate.Global temperatures are rising and weather patterns are changing. Scientists are warning us that fast action is necessary to save our future. If we don’t act, we may go the way of the dinosaurs.This new extinction event is caused by humans.VocabularyThe body’s circulatory system includes the heart and blood vessels. The heart pumps blood to all parts of the body through a network of arteries and veins.The digestive system breaks down and absorbs food into the body.It supplies the energy that the body needs for growth and repair.After digestion, excess food is turned into waste and eliminated from the body.The nervous system includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.This is your body’s control system.It controls your muscles and organs, including your circulatory and digestive systems.The respiratory system includes the nose and lungs.It brings air and oxygen into the body and removes carbon dioxide.The lungs are where oxygen enters the bloodstream and carbon dioxide is removed.The immune system protects the body against infections and diseases. Sneezing and fever are examples of how the immune system works.If an infection invades the body, the immune system attacks it.The nervous system regulates your heartbeat and digestion.For some diseases, the immune system uses white blood cells and antibodies to attack it.The digestive system is where food is broken down and absorbed into the body.The controlled use of fire allowed people to cook food and survive in colder climates.Fire provided light so that people could work and socialize for longer hours.With the invention of agriculture people could grow food and settle into communities.By growing food, people could spend less time hunting and more time for other things such as art.The domestication of animals allowed people to raise and use animals for food and work.By raising herds of animal such as sheep, humans had a regular supply of meat and clothing.The strength of animals such as horse and ox was used for workingtransportation.The development of tools and machines has resulted into more efficient manufacture and construction.With better tools and machines work can be done with fewer people at much lower cost.The development of science and engineering has improved many things including communications.With understanding of electricity, telephones and radios allow people to communicate over long distances.Science and engineering breakthroughs are rapidly changing the way we live our lives.Science and engineering have changed the way we communicate with each other.The use of machines has reduced the number of people needed to make things.With the development of agriculture, people had more time for other activities.The ability to raise herds of animals gave human a regular supply of meat and clothingDialogueM: I took a vocation last night.W: What are you talking about?

I got a real magazine and read it with no interruption.It was very peaceful.W:Yes, I haven’t done that in a long time.-If someone is interrupted, they have to…-stop what they are doing.-What hasn’t she done in a long time?–She hasn’t spent time without her smartphone.-What made the evening different?–He didn’t use his smartphone.M: You know what? I’m beginning to hate smartphones.W: Really? But you can’t live without one, right?M: Yes, that’s the problem.

A husband was complaining to his wife that she was spending toomuch time on her smartphone.-What happened to the couple?–They got a divorce.-What was the wife spending too much time doing?–playing on her smartphone.M: It’s a bit ironic. Don’t you think? Smartphones were supposed to bring people together, but they are pullingpeople apart.W: Yes, you’re right.M: Hey, just a minute. I’ve got a message on my smartphone and it can’t wait.-What do they think is ironic about smartphones?–Instead of bringing people together, they are pulling them apart.Boss: Hey, wake up and get back to work.

It is a beautiful, rotating sphere. The side facing the sun is in daylight. The side facing away from the sun is in darkness. For example, when it’s daytime in US, it nighttime in China. In fact, there’s 12-hour time difference between Bos ton and Shanghai. When it’s midnight in Shanghai, it’s noon in Boston. The earth rotates from west to ea st. To know which direction is west or east, watch the sun.The sun travels through the sky from east to west. The sun comes up in the east and goes down in the west. Again, this is because the earth rotates. It takes 24 hours for the earth to make a complete rotation. And that is the length of one day.Because of the earth’s rotation, the earth is divided into time zones. Some countries, such as US, has several time zones. When it’s 10 am in New York, it’s 7 am in San Francisco. Europe and the US are separated by several time zones. When it’s 5 pm in Paris, it’s 11 am in Boston. So there is a 6 hours different between Paris and Boston. One large country, China, has just one timezone for the whole country. As a result, at the same time, some parts of the country can be dark and other parts can be light.As you travel around the earth, the time changes. The time of day depends on your location on the planet. When you travel east or west, you may cross several time zones. For example, if you travel from Beijing to Los Angeles, you may cross 8 time zones. That means, when it’s noon on Sunday in China, it 8 pm on Saturday in Los Angeles. For travelers, this means it can be very difficult to sleep after a long flight. The clock may say 8 pm, but for your body, it’s noon. This is called jet lag.Kim is a popular Korean actress.

Atoms are the building blocks of matter.At the center of an atom is its nucleus which has a positive electric charge. Outside the nucleus are electrons which have a negative charge. Asteroids and comets are objects that obey our sun, but are smaller than planets.Asteroids that pass close to the Earth are called near-earth objects. The layer of gases just above the Earth’s surface is our atmosphere. The atmosphere is made of gases such as oxygen and nitrogen. Withoutan atmosphere there would be no life on Earth.If they collide with Earth they could cause an extinction event.A force can increase or decrease the speed of an object, and it can change the direction of motion. Theelectric force between the nucleus and the electrons holds the atom together.The two lines on the left intersect each other at a right angle which is90 degrees.The two lines on the right are parallel which means they never cross.

They show how these 2 people spend their days, not including weekends.The one on the top shows how Emma divides up her days. She is a designer whoworks for a company.As Emma’s graph shows, the biggest portion部分 of her day is spent working.She works an average of 8 hours a day, which is one third of her day.She gets an average of 6 hours to sleep which is 25% of her day. That’s less sleep than Martin gets.According to his graph, he gets an average of 7 hours to sleep which is about 29% of his day.On the other hand, Martine who is engineer, works more hours than Emma does. Martine average 9 hours a day at work co mpare to Emma’s 8. That’s 37.5% compare to 33%.Other factors shown in the graph included time for meals and commuting to work. Other activities include getting dress and doing household chores such as doing laundry and paying bills.As you can see, for Martin, commuting is taking a large amount of his time.If he could reduce his commute time, he will have more time for other things. And it isn’t just the time.When the traffic is really heavy his commute is stressful.It will be great if he can work from home one or two days a week. He life willbe more enjoyable.And we look at Emma’s graph, we see she probably needs more sl eep.Perhaps, she should spend a bit less time socializing with her friends.On the other hand, socializing with her friend is something she really values.As for putting on makeup, she isn’t willing to change that.For her, exercising, socializing and staying beautiful help her deal with the stressful work.In conclusion, Emma and Martin both wish there were more hours in a day.This next graph shows how various factors compare important to 1350 jobs applicants.Applicants were between 20 to 25 years ago.They were asked to list which factors were most important for a good job.As the graph shows, money was the most important factor for 25% of the applicants. However, other factors are also important. The second most important factor was the work environment.In other words, for many, money is everything.People want to like where they work.In fact, if we combine working environment and co-workers, the total is 35%.This is well above the 25% for salary and benefits.Taking together, they are more important than salary and benefits.Career path is also important especially for younger applicants.They want to see that their job helps to build a successful career.For older workers, this may not be as important.Older workers often put the higher value on the balance between life and work.

L4 Unit 3-1 listening时间花费Look at these 2 pie graphs. They show how these 2 people spend their days, not including weekends. The one on the top shows how Emma divides up her days. She is a designer who works for a company.As Emma’s graph shows, the bigges t portion of her day is spent w orking. She works an average of 8 hours a day, which is one third of her day. She gets an average of 6 hours to sleep which is 25% of her day. That’s less sleep than Martin gets. According to his graph, he gets an average of 7 hours to sleep which is about 29% of his day. On the other hand, Martine who is engineer, works more hours than Emma does. Martine average 9 hours a day at work co mpare to Emma’s 8. That’s 37.5% compare to 33%.Other factors shown in the graph included time for meals and commuting to work. Other activities include getting dress and doing household chores such as doing laundry and paying bills. As you can see, for Martin, commuting is taking a large amount of his time. If he could reduce his commute time, he will have more time for other things. And it isn’t just the time. When the traffic is really heavy his commute is stressful. It will be great if he can work from home one or two days a week. He life will be more enjoyable.And we look at Emma’s graph, we see she probably needs more sleep. Perhaps, she should spend a bit less time socializing with her friends. On the other hand, socializing with her friend is some thing she really values. As for putting on makeup, she isn’t willing to change that. For h er, exercising, socializing and staying beautiful help her deal with the stressful work. In conclusion, Emma and Martin both wish there were more hours in a day.This next graph shows how various factors compare important to 1350 jobs applicants. Applicants were between 20 to 25 years ago. They were asked to list which factors were most important for a good job. As the graph shows, money was the most important factor for 25% of the applicants. However, other factors are also important. The second most important factor was the work environment. In other words, for many, money is everything. People want to like where they work. In fact, if we combine working environment and co-workers, the total is 35%. This is well above the 25% for salary and benefits. Taking together, they are more important than salary and benefits. Career path is also important especially for younger applicants. They want to see that their job helps to build a successful career. For older workers, this may not be as important. Older workers often put the higher value on the balance between life and work.

One possible cause is the use of new pesticides. Other possible causes include infections from viruses, geneticfactors and malnutrition（营养不良）. Changing weather patterns may also play a role as summers get hotter and winters get colder. These changes in weather may weaken the bees, making it more difficult for them to fight infections. Whatever the causes of colony collapse, it’s important to understand that many parts of our world are inter dependent. Changes that effect on one species may have serious effects on other species.
