??????You might think that “global warming” means nothing more than a rise in the world’s temperature. But rising sea levers caused by it have resulted in the first evacuation of an island nation -the citizens of Tuvalu will have it leave their homeland.????

????During the 20th century, sea level rose ??8-12 inches. As a result, Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water that has polluted the country’s drinking water.??

??Paani Laupepa, a Tuvaluan government official, reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered an unusually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years. Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms.??

??Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol,an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their green house gas emissions（导致温室效应的气体排放）,which are a main cause of global warming. “By refusing to sign the agreement, the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years.” Laupepa told the BBC.??

??Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries.??

??Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable （易受影响的）to rising sea levels. Maumoon Gayoon, president of the Maldives, told the United Nations that global warming has made his country of 311,000 an “endangered nation”.

??The text is mainly about_________.????

A.rapid changes in earth’s temperature
B.bad effects of global warming
C.moving of a country to a new place
D.reasons for lowland flooding

4.The country whose situation is similar to that of Tuvalu is__________.

“I’ll have sixteen of them,” the young man said.

The salesman smiled. He found it hard to be polite.“You are joking, of course,”he said. “I’m afraid we can’t help you. This car is not for sale.” 

The salesman showed his customer to the door,and the young man left the shop without a word.He went to a showroom on the other side of the street and took a handle of notes out of his pocket and paid for the car.He explained that the cars were for himself and his colleagues working in a Norwegian fishing-boat.“We have all earned a lot of money this season.”The man said,“and we want to buy cars.”??

Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father,“But,Dad,you can’t be healthy if you’re dead.”

??Dad,in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run,had forgotten to wear his safety belt——a mistake 75% of the US population make every day.The big question is why.????

??There have been many myths about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars some ??forty years ago.The following are three of the most common.??

??Myth Number One:It’s best to be“thrown clear”of a serious accident.????

??Truth:Sorry,but any accident serious enough to “throw you clear”is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing.And chances are you’ll have traveled through a windshield(挡风玻璃)or door to do it.Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident ??are twenty-five times greater in cases where people are“thrown clear.”??

????Myth Number Two:Safety belts“trap”people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.????

??Truth:Sorry again,but studies show that people knocked unconscious(昏迷)due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents,People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situations,not to be trapped in them.????

??Myth Number Three:Safety belts aren’t needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour(mph).??

??Truth:When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other,an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters.??

??One of the greatest killers in the Western world is heart disease. The death rate(率) from the disease has been increasing at an alarming speed for the past thirty years. Medical experts know that people can reduce their chances of getting heart disease by exercising regularly, by not smoking, by changing their diets, and by paying more attention to reducing stress(压力) in their work.??

??However, Western health care systems are still not paying enough attention to the prevention of the disease. There is a need for more programs to educate the public about the causes and prevention of heart disease. Instead of supporting such programs, however, the U.S. health-??care system is spending large sums of money on the surgical(外科的) treatment of the disease after it develops. This emphasis(强??调) on treatment clearly has something to do with the technological advances that have taken in the past ten to fifteen years. In this time, modern technology has enabled doctors to develop new surgical techniques. Many operation that were considered impossible or too risky(有风险的) a few years ago are now performed everyday in U.S. hospitals. The result has been a huge increase in heart surgery.

??Although there is no doubt tha??t heart surgery can help a large number of people, some people point out that the emphasis on the surgical treatment of the disease has three clear disadvantages.??

??First, it attracts interest and money away from the question of prevention. Second, it causes the costs of general hospital care to rise. After hospitals buy the expensive equipment that is necessary for modern heart surgery, they must try to recover the money they have spent. To do this, they raise costs for all their patients, not just those patients whose treatment requires the equipment. The third disadvantage is that doctors are encouraged to perform. surgery--even on patients for whom an operation is unnecessary--??because the equipment and expert skills are there. A government official recently stated that major heart surgery was often performed even though its chances of success were low. In one type of heart surgery, for example, only 15 percent of patients improved their conditions after the surgery. However, more than 100,000 of these operations are performed in the United States every year.

??What effect has modern technology had on medicine?

A.It has reduced the costs of medical treatment.
B.It has helped save the lives of most patients.
C.It has encouraged doctors to do more heart surgeries.
D.It has helped educate people about the prevention of heart disease.

13.“To do this”( in Paragraph 3 ) means             

A.to help patients recover
B.to increase the number of heart surgeries
C.to get back the money spent on the equipment
D.to buy new equipment for the treatment of heart disease

14.The author would agree that              

A.more money should be spend on the prevention of heart disease
B.heart surgery has helped most patients improve their conditions
C.modern technology had made heart surgery more risky than before
D.the public have known a great deal about the causes of heart disease

15.What would be the best title for the passage?

A.The Greatest Killer in the West
B.Heart Disease：Treat or Prevent
C.Modern Technology and Heart Surgery
D.Heart Surgery：Advantages and Disadvantages
