How will we save our planet?
Which topic drew the most attention from people around the world in 2019? It was climate change, according to three well-known English dictionaries.
The Oxford, Collins and Cambridge dictionaries chose "climate emergency", "Climate strike" and "upcycling", respectively(分别地), as their "Word of the Year". This tells us that climate change was a widely-discussed issue in 2019.
"Climate emergency" means a situation in which urgent action is needed to reduce climate change. "Climate strike" refers to people leaving work or school to call for more action to protect the environment. "Upcycling" refers to making new items out of old or used items to reduce waste.
Climate change has already affected the world in many ways. Take Venice for example. Due to climate change, Venice experienced the worst flooding it has seen in the last 50 years in 2019. Many stores, restaurants and hotels were flooded. This caused serious damage totaling hundreds of millions of euros.
Although we've known about global warming for a long time, our large companies and governments have been slow to respond to it. The year 2019 might have been the turning point that will finally encourage our leaders to take responsibility.
"Decades ago, when the science on the climate issue was first increasing, the impacts(影响)could been seen as an issue for future generations," Katharine Mach, a Stanford University climate scientist, told The New York Times. "It's definitely our issue now."
However, simply realizing that climate change is a threat is not enough, we must take real action before it is too late.
1.Which dictionary didn't choose the climate word as their "Word of the Year"?
A.The Oxford. B.The Collins. C.The Webster. D.The Cambridge.
2.Which of the following words of phrases calls for making new items with old or used things?
A.Climate change. B.Climate emergency. C.Upcycling. D.Climate strike.
3.Why did Venice experience the worst flooding during past 50 years in 2019?
A.Because of heavy rain. B.Because of climate change.
C.Because of bad economy. D.Because of terrible managements.
4.According to Katharine Mach, what should we do now?
A.We should take action to fight against climate change in the future.
B.We'd better leave the climate issue to future generations.
C.We should take responsibility to deal with climate change immediately.
D.We should realize the climate change is a big threat but we can do nothing.

Thirteen years ago, the Planet Earth wildlife documentary took us all on an amazing journey. We went from deep rainforests to the bottom of the ocean. Now a new one ,Our Planet, will let us see different animals and the influence of humans on the natural world. The documentary covers 50 countries and areas. It took more than four years to produce it.
With the latest 4K video technology, the show allows people a wonderful new look at nature. “People are given a chance to better get themselves into the lives of the animals” said Fothergill, one of the show's producers.
Besides showing Earth's beauty, the documentary also talks about the planet's climate conditions. "Our Planet is here to say,' The planet is dying, and we're killing it.’" Fothergill said. In one sad scene, hundreds of walruses(海象)，half-blind when out of the water, fall down a rock and suffer a painful death on the beach below. It shows how the climate conditions have influenced their natural habitat and explains why they've been forced to find the safe place on the rocks.
But the documentary is not all about sadness. It also talks about success stories, such as the ones of tigers. These animals are saved and live happily thanks to international agreements on environmental protection.
Asking more people to take action in protecting our planet is the final goal of the new documentary. What we do in the next 20 years will decide the future of all life on Earth.
1.What's the documentary Our Planet about?
A.The relationship between the climate conditions human activities.
B.Different animals and the influence of humans on the natural world.
C.The living conditions of walruses and tigers.

A.To explain what our goal is in the future.
B.To call for more people to protect our planet.
C.To tell us how the climate conditions influence animals.
D.To introduce international agreements on environmental protection.
3.What can we infer from the passage?
A.It took a lot of time and efforts to make the documentary.
B.The documentary is popular in many countries and areas.
C.We should have a new look at the environmental protection.
D.Our goal in the future is getting along well with animals.

In our daily life, we can live a low-carbon(低碳) life by paying attention to how we dress, eat and live.
Wear“out”
I prefer simple clothing and buy new clothes only when I really need them. I don’t mind using the same clothes for over 10 years. My family members never throw their clothes away. Instead, we give them to others who are in need. If the clothes are really worn out, we cut them into pieces and use them to clean the floor.
Simple eating habits
My family eat more vegetables and less meat. I often tell my family members not to eat junk food. Our cooking style is mainly steaming or boiling as it is healthier and saves energy.
Live on less energy
I also pay attention to the use of electricity. My family members get into the habit of turning off the lights when leaving a room. When we take a shower, we’ll set the water temperature to around 40℃. All these things are good for saving energy.
We hope that everyone can really do something to protect the earth.

Plants and animals are largely made of water. So are humans. They need to keep enough water inside them, or they could die.
We get some of the water we need by eating food that has water in it. Drinks, such as milk and tea, are mostly water, too. A person needs water every day. If we go without water for three or four days, we will lose too much water from our bodies. In very hot weather, we could lose this water in just one day.
What does water do to help our bodies? Water helps to take the nutrition（营养）from food to our bodies. It also helps to take the wastes away from different parts of our bodies.
In our homes, we also need water for many things. We need water for cooking, washing and flushing（冲水）the toilet. About three quarters of the water is used in the bathroom and toilet. The rest is mainly used in the laundry（洗衣房）and kitchen.
___________It may come from a lake or a river. It may come from the sea, from the rain and snow or from the underground. Water rises from rivers and seas to make clouds, and then falls again as rain and snow. The water you drink has been around for millions of years. It just keeps being recycled.
