What is the sky? How high is it? What colour is it? What birds can live above it? These questions are difficult to answer, aren’t they?

In fact, the sky has no colour． Then why does the sky look blue?

We know that there is air around the world． When planes fly, they need air to lift their wings． Planes can’t fly very high． That is because the air gets thinner when they go higher． The same will happen to us if we go high enough． If we go up about 1,200 kilometers from the earth, we’ll find no air there． Some birds can fly into the sky as high as a plane, but they cannot fly or live without air．

Looking up above us, you will see the blue sky with white clouds． It is usually light blue． The colour will be bluer when you see the top of a high mountain． And you will see fewer clouds in the sky between you and the sun．

Sometimes the sky doesn’t look blue． When the sun rises or falls, you will see red, orange, and other colours in the sky． Such are the most beautiful moments of the day．

Who can see the colours of the sky high above the earth? The astronauts! They can see those beautiful colours of the sky from the outer space． However, before flying into the outer space, they sit in a spaceship high above the earth, and there is no air at all． The sky will be that dark and its colour will be black．

Now you may understand that we see colours because the air scatters (散射) the sunlight． Light travels through the air ．Without air, there would be no light or colours．

1． Planes can’t fly as high as possible because________．

A． the sky is blue                                            B． the wings are heavier

C． the sky has no colour                                         D． the air becomes thinner

2． When you stand on the top of a high mountain, you will see_______．

A． more air                 B． bluer skies                    C． more colours         D． more clouds

3． We might see many colours in the sky at ________ during the day．

A． 6:00 am                         B． 9:30 am                C． 1:00pm                 D． 3:00 pm

4． The sky changes colours because________．

A． it’s colourful itself                                      B． the world is colourful

C． the sunlight has colours                               D． the air scatters the sunlight

B

China is showing the world its great resolve in the global climate campaign with concrete and self﹣motivated efforts as well as serious commitment．

At the opening ceremony of the Paris climate summit，Chinese President Xi Jinping restated China’s plan made in June to cut its carbon emissions（排放） per unit of GDP by 60﹣65percent from 2005levels by 2030，and increase non﹣fossil fuel sources in primary energy consumption to about 20percent．

With a large population，China is facing increasing resource limits，severe environmental pollution and a worsening ecosystem，and its citizens are also becoming increasingly aware of environmental problems．Suffering environmental problems and seeing the efforts as important to transforming its economic growth pattern，the country has much at risk if climate change is left unattended．

Actually，climate change efforts are already included in China’s medium﹣and long﹣term program of economic and social development，and ecological efforts are the clear characteristics in China’s 13th Five﹣Year Plan （2016﹣2020）．

Although it is and will be a developing country for a long time to come，China has been actively involved in the global campaign against climate change，now topping the world in terms of energy conservation and use of new and renewable energies．

However，China’s development rights need to be respected．It is unfair to overstress China’s status as one of the world’s largest greenhouse gas emitters and regard it as the major part of responsibilities in the global fight against climate change．

It is worthy of notice that China’s emissions of greenhouse gases per person are far lower than those of developed countries，especially the United States，although rapid economic expansion and its population base have made it one of the biggest producers of the gases．

To show its great resolve，Beijing in September also announced the establishment of an independent South﹣South cooperation fund of 20billion RMB to help developing countries affected by global warming．

While China is eagerly accomplishing its policy commitments，developed countries should stop questioning China’s commitment to fighting climate change and pointing fingers，and start shouldering their due responsibilities instead．

5．China is self﹣motivated to fight against climate change in order to　   　．

A．top the world

B．transform its economic pattern

C．solve its population problem

D．respond to pressure from developed countries

6．The underlined word”it”in paragraph 7refers to　  　．

A．China

B．the United States

C．economic expansion

D．the population base

7．It can be inferred from the text that　  　．

A．China will completely use non﹣fossil fuels by 2030

B．China will carry out its plan by stopping its development

C．Chinese emit more greenhouse gases than Americans on average

D．some developed countries are not taking on their due responsibilities

8．Which of the following is a sign of China’s self﹣motivated fight against climate change？

A．Making it part of China’s 13th Five﹣Year Plan．

B．Donating money to developing countries．

C．Using non﹣renewable energies．

D．Expanding its economy．

We all need a healthy environment，but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment．Though we are young，we can still do something to help．In fact，even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment．Here are some ideas for you to live green life．

Remember these three words：reduce，reuse and recycle．

Reduce means”use less”．Don’t waste things．This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment．Before we buy something new，think if it is really necessary or maybe the old one will be just as good!When we do buy things，choose local products if possible，and try not to buy too many things from abroad．

Reuse means”use again”．Use things for as long as possible．When we buy things，make sure that they last a long time．We should take care of them so that they will last，and we should repair them if we can instead  of throwing them away and buying new ones．Don’t use a paper cup or a paper bag．It’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again．

Recycle means”change things into something else”．Although it takes energy to change something into something else，it’s better than throwing things away or burning them．Find out what can be recycled in your neighborhood and take part in recycling programmes．We should also buy products made from recycled materials，such as recycled paper，to help save trees．

1．What does the word”recycle”mean？

________________________________________________________________

2．How can we use things for a long time？

3．Will you use plastic cup8 0r bags in the future？Why or why not？
