Every single one of us can help to deal with climate change and prepare for the effects.

We all have an effect

on the environment through our use of resources (资源) and burning fossil fuels for everyday activities such as driving cars and heating our homes. If we all do our best to protect our environment, then we can make a real difference.

Consider the environmental effects of:

1 the energy used in your home

2 the way you travel

3 the food you eat

Do everything you can to reduce your carbon footprint (足迹) and not only will you be making fewer effects on the environment, but you511 probably find that you'll also save money and lead a healthier life.

Increasing water efficiency in your home reduces the amount of energy used for water treatment and can save money and fight against climate change at the same time.

Other things you can do

Here's a list of some simple things you can do that will help reduce your carbon footprint:

1 insulate (使隔热) your home

2 turn down your central heating by one degree (度数)

3 use energy efficient lighting

4 try not to fly

5 share a car with others

6 ride your bike for short journeys

7 eat local, seasonal, fresh, unprocessed (未加工的) food

    What makes 15,000 men and women run for hours, and what makes them run through the streets on a cold day without coats? I was one of those runners. The race is called marathon (马拉松).
    I had never run more than eight miles before, and here I was training. Since the race is in April, I had to run throughout the winter, and in Boston, winters are cold. For most people, just putting on their shirts, sweaters, jackets, and hats is exercise enough. I found myself out on the dark streets, running along ice sidewalks (人行道). Even in gloves, my fingers got so cold that they looked like red carrots. My nose didn't get warm until lunchtime!
    Finally, the big day arrived. The weather was cold, with ice and rain. Bang! The gun sounded, and we started. I didn't go anywhere at first because I was standing behind so many people. I had to wait for them to move.
    At first, the running was easy. The other runners just seemed to pull me along. Somewhere around the 20-mile mark I even said to myself, "This is nothing, why did I train so hard?"
    Then I hit "the wall". "The wall" is what marathon runners call the special point. I knew my body reached the point and I thought I couldn't go any more. I was out of breath and my legs turned into pieces of wood. I was almost falling down. I can't remember anything about the last five miles of the race.
    I kept running though. At last, I heard a voice at the finishing line.
    "You look good," my friend Ted said. "How did it feel?"
    "Wonderful !" I replied.
    For everything, if you devote yourself into it, there will be a way. I finished the race, at least, in my heart, I was the winner.

Recent research from the Pew Internet Project suggests that 90% of Americans aged from 12 to 17 use the Internet, and 51% of those teens use social networks. However, there are many possible problems with social networking sites and the teenagers who use them.

Apart from the social advantages, social networking sites can be used to record school research, develop artistic talents and experiment with other forms of subject creation. They provide a way to communicate with others who share the same interests and to get helpful advice on ongoing projects.
Along with these advantages come some dangers. For example, most social networking sites are open to all, especially MySpace, which is the most popular social network among teens in America. It means that they could be put in unpleasant and frightening situations.
A greater danger is that teens may become objects of the people with secret purposes. The secrecy of some social networking sites makes it easy for dangerous people to find young teens and invite them into dangerous conversations. It's easy for them to pretend as teens and draw children into dangerous real-world communication as well. Then further hurt might be on its way.
Another danger is identity stealing, which can happen when teens share too much information about their names, dates of birth and locations.
Therefore, it's very important to make sure teens are safe when they use social networks.
Many of the same rules that work for online chat work for these sites:
※Don't use your real name.
※ Don't give out personal information to people you don't know. A last name and a town are enough for a bad guy to find where you are.
※ Don't believe that people are who they say to be.
※ Immediately end any communication that makes you uncomfortable and report it to a parent.
Only if you are sure of your safety, can you enjoy the fun brought by social networking. Besides, trying to deal with all problems on your own can lead to terrible results. Remember, asking your parents or school officials for help doesn't mean you are unable to do anything but wiser than many others.

In America, when people say ‘man's best friend', they don't mean another person. Instead, they are talking about a lovely animal—a dog! These words show the friendship between people and animals. Dogs and other pets can give joy to people's lives. Some people even leave all their money to their pets when they die!
Animals can help people, too. You can teach dogs to be the ‘eyes' for blind (失明的) people or ‘ears' for deaf (聋的) people. Scientists have found that pets help people live longer! They make people happier, too. Because of that, they bring animals into hospitals for ‘visits'.
Americans have ‘Be Kind to Animals Week' in the first week of May. There are many pet shows during the week. Even if you don't live in America, you can also show your love to animals. How? First think about how animals make your life richer (更丰富). If you have a pet, take more time this week to play with it. Remember to give it nice food. If you don't have a pet, be kind to animals around you. For example, if you see a street dog, don't kick it. Just leave it alone, or make friends with it. If others around you do bad things to animals, try to stop them. As people, we must protect (保护) animals because they can't speak for themselves.

When you build a house，you use a blueprint．What's a blueprint?In general，a blueprint is a drawing that you use to build a house and shows where to put all the parts of the house．DNA is a drawing,too．It's the blueprint of life．

But building a living thing is far more complex*than building a house．It takes millions of years for nature to change the DNA in living things to make them fit the world they live in．

How tall are you?What color are your eyes?What size are your feet?All these things are strongly influenced by your DNA before you are born．

DNA is fantastic!

★Except for some twins，every living thing has its own unique*DNA．

★Some health problems can be caused by problems in your DNA．Scientists can look for these problems and，sometimes，help you if you become sick．In the future，scientists might be able to change your DNA．

★There are copies of your DNA in every part of your body．For example，your finger has the same DNA as your hair．

★You have your own unique DNA，which repeats patterns from your parents' DNA．but not exactly the same．From your DNA，scientists can identify not only you，but also people who are related to you．Your parents and grandparents are related to you，and you have their DNA．When you have a grandson or granddaughter，he or she will have your DNA．

Your DNA has billions of instructions that explain why you are the way you are．It's one of the most amazing things on the earth !

Welcome to the 26^th century! Cyborg technology is a way of life. People with human brains and artificial (人造的) bodies are everywhere.

This is the future world shown in the film Alita: Battle Angel.US director James Cameron made the film. The movie came out in the Chinese mainland theaters on Feb 22.

The story is based on Japanese manga artist Yukito Kishiro's popular manga series of the same name. The main character, a cyborg, is a girl named Alita.

One day, she wakes up in wreckage and finds that she has lost her memory. Luckily, a doctor saves her. As she starts her new life, Alita finds she has superhuman abilities. She decides to find the truth behind her origin. She started a journey that leads her through a dark world.

In Cameron's own words, the movie is "not like any of the films that I've done before". Its visual effects are especially impressive. The film's actors used the latest motion-capture (动作捕捉) technology. They wore special suits that record their movements. Later, motion-capture editors use these movements to make special effects. Rosa Salaza plays Alita. She wore a suit with more than 7, 000 pieces and layers. It can capture human movement. The model that was used for her face was changed nearly 5, 000 times to make it more lifelike.
