最近，你是吴明，和笔友李华都很关注“可持续发展”的话题。现在你写一封信给他，谈
谈江苏的省情，介绍耕地的使用及保护的情况。
词数：150左右。信的开头号和结尾已经给出。必须包含以下要点：
1、江苏是我国经济发达的省份之一，位于我国的东部，人口多，耕地少。
人口：7000多万；土地面积：10多万平方公里。自然资源贫乏。
2、随着经济的发展和人口的增长，越来越多的良田被征用来建造住房和工厂。耕地面积逐年减少。
3、人们正认识到保护耕地的重要性，政府积极采取措施禁止非法用地。
4、保护土地资源，是每个公民应尽义务，也是造福子孙后代的需要。
Dear Li Hua,
How are you? With this letter I'd like to introduce my hometown—Jiangsu Province to you．
Looking forward to your reply.
Best wishes.
Most scientists are now certain that global warming is taking place．Gases such as carbon
dioxide produced by burning of coal, oil, wood, together with industrial pollution, are creating a
warm blanket around the earth．This blanket is trapping heat in the atmosphere and so raising the
temperature of the earth.
The evidence for global warming can now be seen in the world’s changing climate statistics．In
Europe, eight of the last ten years have seen record high temperature．For northern Europe, this has
generally been a change for the better．Gardens can even now grow tropical（热带的） plants in
England, though London may never see a “White Christmas” again．On the other hand, the
countries around the Mediterranean Sea, and those south of the Sahara desert are receiving even
less rain than before．In sub-Saharan Africa the crops are drying out in the fields and people are
dying of starvation．In the Americas, the climate is becoming more extreme ---the summers are
getting hotter and hotter and the storms are becoming more violent．In 1999 the southern United
States was struck by a series of destructive hurricanes, while the end of 1999 saw the worst floods
ever in Venezuela．Meteorologists（气象学家） expect such trends to continue, and indeed to
worsen, if global warming cannot be halted(终止).
In addition to worrying about rising global temperatures and more extreme weather conditions,
scientists are closely monitoring（监测）sea levels around the world．These are slowly rising, as the northern and southern polar ice-caps start to melt．This will have serious consequences for low-lying countries near the sea, such as the coral islands in the Pacific, and Bangladesh where the River Ganges already folds the delta(三角洲) every year．Already parts of these places are disappearing under the rising tides.

How much can environment affect intelligence? In one study, striking increases in IQ occurred
in 25 children who were moved from an orphanage(孤儿院) to more stimulating（使人兴奋的，使人振奋的） environments．The children, who were all considered mentally retarded and unadoptable, were moved to an institution where they received personal attention from adults．Later, these supposedly retarded children were adopted by parents who gave them love, a family ,and a stimulating home environment．The children gained an average of 29 IQ points．For one child, the increase was an amazing 58 points．A second group of initially less "retarded" children, who stayed in the orphanage, lost an average of 26 IQ points.
Other encouraging results can be found in early childhood education programs, which provide
stimulating intellectual experiences for disadvantaged children．In one study, children from low-income families were given enriched environments from early infancy(婴儿期) through preschool．By age 2 their IQ scores were already higher than those in a control group．More important, they were still 5 points higher seven years later．High-quality enrichment programs such as Head Start can prevent children from falling behind in school.
A particularly striking environmental effect is the fact that 14 nations have shown average IQ
gains of from 5 to 25 points during the last 30 years．These IQ boosts, averaging 15 points, occurred in far too short a time for genetics to explain them．It is more likely that the gains reflect environmental forces, such as improved education, nutrition, and living in a technologically complex society.
