阅读理解

Dear Editor,

    I was shocked to read your article about the ski resort (滑雪胜地) in Bolivia, South America. Temperature have risen so much in the past 100 years that soon, there may be no snow left at this resort.

    In Ningbo, we may think that problems such as this have nothing to do with us. Or, perhaps, we are so busy working and enjoying ourselves that we do not have time to think about the world around us.

Yet the problem is real: the earth has warmed up by more than 0.5"C over the past few years. Sea levels have risen, and glaciers (冰川) have melted (融化). In the future, droughts (干旱) could cause hunger, and floods (洪水) could completely make low-lying countries disappear.

Scientists make sure that humans are responsible for much of the temperature rise. Too many cars give off bad air, people cut down and burn trees to turn forests into cities, and heavy industry burns coal for power. We have turned a blind eye for too long. We must act now.

    We should all ask ourselves, "What can we do to help protect the environment? What have we done to help? What can we start doing now?"

    Let's cut down the number of the things we buy. Let's recycle. Let's reuse the useful things before we throw them away. Let's take action now before it is too late.

Yours faithully,

Franky

    The spring season brings warm weather, flowers and other changes for people to enjoy. For some restaurant cooks, the most exciting spring arrival is ramps.

    Ramps are a wild plant in the eastern mountains of North America. They are one of the first plants that grow in the spring, usually between April and May. They are recognized(意识) by their red stem(茎), and two long and wide green leaves. They are also famous for their strong taste, similar to onions(洋葱).

    Ramps are not as well-known as other vegetables, but they have a long history in the United States. In the Appalachian Mountains, ramps have been an important food for a longtime. During spring, it is common for small towns in the Appalachian area to hold large ramp dinners for the community.

    However, over the last 30 years, ramps popularity has grown quickly. They are now a highly-desired vegetable for many nice restaurants in cities like New York and Washington D.C.

    One reason the plant is popular is that it grows in the wild. It is difficult to grow them on farms. Most restaurants get them from foragers, who collect ramps by searching forests for some small pieces of land where they grow. Ramps have a short season. Within a few weeks of full growth, the plant is done for the year. This shot life is some reason for their popularity.

    And that popularity could lead Io their disappearance from Earth. In 1995, the local government in Quebee, Canada, stopped people selling the plant to businesses in order to protect the plant against being over-dug.

    The season is short, but it has not ended yet. If you are in the right place, you still have time to try a taste of ramps yourself.
