The Earth has warmed by about half a degree（0.50℃）over the last 100 ye
ars.
It could be getting warmer on its own, but many scientists think that people
are making the Earth warmer by making a greenhouse effect. The greenhouse
effect is important. Without it, the Earth would not be warm enough for
us to live on. But just a little warmer than it is now could cause problems for
humans, plants and animals.
Many of the things we do every day can change the
Earth’s
temperature by sending greenhouse gases into the air. We send greenhouse gases
into the air when we watch TV, turn on lights, dry hair, play video games, wash
or dry our clothes or drive cars. The rubbish from factories and homes also
produces greenhouse gases.
Even a small change in temperature can affect our weather. This can cause changes in the sea levels, the air, flooding, and our fresh water.
The change in the temperature can also cause changes in the living places for animals and plants, endangering many animals.
Global warming is a big problem, and every little bit we do can help. We can save electricity. We can save energy in other ways such as by taking buses or walking rather than driving cars. We can recycle to reduce the rubbish and save natural resources such as trees, oil and metals. We can buy products that don’t do bad to the environment and we can turn to solar energy. Remember the little bit that you do will bring a better world.

If you have failed in the past to try to make big changes in life, try again now, one tiny step at a time.
Every year it's the same. As December comes to an end, you think about the new year and all the ways you want to improve your life. But as you start to write down your hopes for the new year, you think about the last year. You excitedly write down all the changes you are going to make, but by the end of January those ideas get lost in your busy life.
Here's a suggestion: Forget the too big, hard-to-achieve goals and just think about the small ones. “We often think that we have to do everything in big steps, even though it's so hard for us to reach it.” said Robert Maurer, who recently wrote the book One Small Step Can Change Your Life. “What we try to do is to begin with such a small step that we can’t find any excuse not to do it.”
“Kaizen”, a Japanese word, is used to mean to change behavior and attitudes (态度). During World War II, American factory managers were able to increase productivity by trying small, continuous improvements instead of sudden changes. After the war, the idea was brought to a rebuilding (重建) Japan. It made Japan develop fast. The Japanese called it “kaizen”, which means “improvement”.
Maurer studied the idea and did some experiments with it. “Kaizen” could possibly help people succeed in doing everything.
1.At the end of December, people usually ___________ .
A. plan for the last year B. fail to make big changes

3. The underlined part “increase productivity” in the passage means “___________ “.
A. 增加成本 B. 提高待遇 C. 提高生产率 D. 增加出口量
4. The writer of the passage suggests we should ___________ .
A. take a tiny step to achieve big goals
B. make changes at the end of the year
C. do few experiments with “kaizen”
D. do things with hard-to-achieve goals
5. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. You can't find any excuse not to reach a big goal.
