Scientists said that in the past 100 years, as the global temperatures went up by 0.74℃, the temperature in North China had climbed 1.4℃ in only 50 years.
China needs to to cut carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) emission (排放), because it's the main reason for global warming. The good news is that China has seen the importance of going green. Can you slow down global warming? Sure! Here are some advice.
Buy fewer clothes that are unnecessary. Wearing your brother's, sister's or dad's old T-shirts means you save the energy.
Change your light bulbs . Use energy-saving light bulbs. And don't forget to turn off the lights when you leave a room and turn off your television and computer when they are not in use!
Take the bus. Taking a bus saves a lot of oil every year.
Say no to plastic bags. The next time you go to the market, use baskets.
Open a window. Don't use the air conditioner (空调), and let some fresh air in . When you have to use the conditioner, set the temperature higher in the summer and lower in the winter to save energy.
Make small changes in your daily life. Don't use one-off cups, bags or boxes. It's time for all of us to do something to save the earth.

Computer programmer David Jones earned $ 150,000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank prepared to let him have a check card . Instead, he has been told to wait another two years until he is 18.
He works for a small firm in Liverpool, where most young people of his age are finding jobs. David’s biggest headache is what to do with his money. Though he has high payment, he cannot drive a car, or get credit cards.
David got his job four months ago, a year after leaving school with six O-Levels(普通成绩) and working for a time in a computer shop. “I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs,” he said. “I suppose $150,000 sounds a lot but I hope it will come to more than that this year.” He spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother $20 a week as he lives with his parents. But most of his spare time is spent working. “Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school,” he said. “ But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway. I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear.
