Three Things We Must Do to Tackle Climate Change
With world leaders meeting at the international climate change conference this August in
Glasgow to discuss urgent global action to meet one of the greatest challenges，many people still
don’t know what must be done. 1 However，the good news we get from the report is that it
is not too late to avoid the worst impacts of climate change ， if we respond rapidly and
decisively.But how？It comes down to the following three things.
Stop using fossil fuels gradually. 2 That means no exploration，no new wells，mines，
pipelines，or power plants.We already have a vast amount of fossil fuel infrastructure(基础设施)，
and it will take decades to end its use.
3 Sun and wind are the fastest-growing new sources of energy we have.Their costs have
fallen sharply，making them the least expensive options and encouraging the adoption of clean
energy in more and more locations.
Protect the world’s forests.Forests all over the world currently absorb about a third of the
carbon dioxide our activities send out to the atmosphere. 4 And this must stop.To meet the
planet’s growing food needs，experts urge improved management practices on already-cleared
land rather than clearing new land.
Finally，it is high time that we joined hands to protect the only home we have.If so，we can
take on the challenge as we would whatever the difficulty is. 5 The three actions we suggest are
essential for success.
A．Boost the development of new technology.
B．Speed up the use of clean，renewable energy.
C．The alarming messages released urged us to change our lifestyle.
D．To achieve this，we must allow no new development of coal，oil and gas.
E．The “code red”report from the conference greatly shocked many people.
F．We are on a mission to save planet Earth，its people and its natural wonders.
G．Tropical(热带) forests are especially at risk and still being cleared for agricultural uses.
B
True beauty is not found in looks. 1 Changing the way you think about beauty will give
you life-long confidence.
Place your beauty in your identity but not your identity in your beauty.If you hold onto
youthful beauty as a narrow definition of yourself，you won’t enjoy your looks as you age. 2Mirrors tell us only a part of what we show to the outer world.Go past your reflection and see the
real self!
The fountain of youth doesn’t exist.Despite many anti-aging products，there is no magic
solution to stopping the effects of aging.You should stop devaluing(贬低) yourself just because you
are getting older.Aim for a healthy life and keep yourself strong and fit.Eat healthy diet and be
committed to a daily exercise routine.Lots of efforts are needed. 3
Beauty relates to physical and psychological aspects. 4 However，Serena Williams never
hides her unusual muscular physique.Instead，her showing her muscles enhances her appeal.Many
fans think she is beautiful.This proves that looking beautiful and attractive goes beyond our looks.
5 Beauty matters to all women，but to those who age beautifully，it matters neither too
much nor too little.Do enjoy our lives to the fullest.True beauty is about accepting yourself.It is also
about feeling good about yourself.
A．Everyone does it.
B．It comes from the inside.
C．Go beyond your mirror image.
D．You will feel better over a long term.
E．It’s human nature to believe beauty is everything.
F．People generally think beauty is only a skin-deep issue.
G．Be less scared of aging and you will look more beautiful.

A Simple Guide to a Healthy Diet
Here are the healthy foods you should eat more and the unhealthy ones you should eat less.
Eat more nuts and seeds.They have an incredibly powerful mixture of healthy fats，fiber and
other important nutrients(营养)． 1 For example，they have a wide range of beneficial
effects on your livers and on your brain functions as you age.Regularly eating a proper amount of
nuts and seeds can also help you stop weight gain.
Eat more fruits and vegetables.It should come as no surprise.And they don’t have to be fresh
to be healthy. 2 If you can get canned fruits or vegetables that don’t have a lot of salt or
sugar，that’s fine，too.
3 There’s about 400% more salt in processed meat than in unprocessed one.The most
obvious problem with too much salt is that it raises your blood pressure，which can lead to heart
attacks.But if you really love it，you can wash it off with tap water to get rid of the extra salt
before it is cooked.
Stay away from sugary drinks. 4 In particular，such sweet drinks are linked to a much
higher risk of obesity(肥胖症) and heart attacks.
In short，healthy eating can be easy if you follow this simple rule： 5A．Shy away from salty bacon and sandwich.

C．If they don’t have a lot of sugar，it would be fine.
D．Such nutrients are very important for your health.
E．If you can get frozen fruits or vegetables，that’s great.
