any concern，_12_ we carried on with our daily work，not _13_what was about to happen.the storm gave us very little warning.black _14_ loomed over the distant horizon so suddenly that we were taken by_15_.even then，we were not really _16_，as the clouds seemed to be moving over our house and towards the distant mountains.then，just as the clouds had _17_ inland，the wind suddenly swung around in a

land again.they want to bring water to the deserts so that people can live and grow food there.they are learning a lot about the deserts，but more and more of the earth is becoming desert all the time.scientists may not be able to change the desert in time.why is more and more land becoming desert？scientists think that people make deserts.people are doing bad things to the earth.for example，scientists tell the people how important plants are for stopping land becoming desert，but people dont pay enough attention to the green plants.some places on the earth dont get much rain.but they still dont become deserts.this is because some green plants are growing there.small green plants and grass are very important to dry places.plants dont let the sun make the earth even drier.plants dont let the wind blow the soil away.when a bit of rain falls，the plants hold the water.without plants，the land can become desert more easily.the present fact is that green plants on the earth are fewer and fewer.if there were no green plants on the earth，the whole earth would become desert.31small green plants are very important to dry places because _.athey dont let the sun make the earth into good landbthey dont let the wind blow soil awaycthey are greendthey have leaves32land is becoming desert little by little because_.afew plants grow therebthere is not enough raincpeople

becoming desert，people should do good things to the earth as scientists saycif scientists can bring water to desert，people can live and grow food theredmore and more places are becoming deserts all the time34after reading this，we learn that _.aplants can keep dry land from becoming desertbit is good to get rid of the grass in the desertscall places without much rain will become desertsdit is better for the dry land to grow grass than to grow treesbthe arctic ices decline(减少)in august,2008 has left the region with just a little more ice than in 2007，when ice hit the lowest levels on record，scientists say.this week the ice has already started freezing back up for winter，but the rapid loss in august points to longterm，significant declines in perennialor yearroundice cover.“i expected that the perennial ice this year would be similar to that of 2005 and 2006，”said josefino comiso of nasas goddard space flight center in grecnbelt，maryland.“but in august，it started going at a much more rapid rate.it almost got to as low as 2007，”he said.the ice cover at the end of last summer，comiso said，was 38 percent less than average and 27 percent less than the previous lowest perennial ice cover.as temperatures rise due to global warming，arctic ice is getting thinner，which makes it easier to meltespecially in warmer water.the oldest ice can be meters thick，having grown over the course of many years.thick ice that melts or floats away into the warmer atlantic in summer is replaced by thin ice，formed over the course of one winter，and this thin ice melts even quicker the following summer，he explained.meanwhile，arctic ocean water that used to be covered by icewhich reflects (反射)much of the light and warmth of the sunnow takes in that solar energy，causing it to warm further.comiso noted that according to scientists in the field，arctic ice has been melting even faster from the bottom than it has from the top.this suggests that the warming of the arctic water is a more important factor affecting the decline of summer ice，he said.35in which year did arctic ice reduce the most?a2005.b2006.c2007. d2008.36the previous lowest perennial ice cover is _ lower than average level.a38 percent b11 percentc27 percent d65 percent37what does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 8 refer to?aarctic ocean water. barctic ice.csunlight. dsolar energy.38the purpose of the

way you feel during your waking hours hinges on how well you sleep at night.then how could you sleep well？your daytime eating and exercise habits play a role in how well you sleep.its particularly important to watch what you put in your body in the hours leading up to your bedtime. stay away from big meals at night.try to make dinnertime earlier in the evening，and avoid heavy，rich foods within two hours of bed.fatty foods take a lot of work for your stomach to digest and may keep you up.also be cautious when it comes to acidic(酸的) foods in the evening，as they can cause stomach trouble and heartburn. avoid alcohol before bed.many people think that a nightcap before bed will help them sleep.while it may make you fall asleep faster，alcohol reduces your sleep quality，waking you up later in the night.to avoid this effect，stay away from alcohol in the hours before bed.cut down on caffeine.you might be surprised to know that caffeine can cause sleep problems up to ten to twelve hours after drinking it！consider eliminating caffeine after lunch or cutting back your overall intake. avoid drinking too many liquids in the evening.drinking lots of water，juice，tea，or other fluids may result in frequent bathroom trips throughout the night. eat a light snack before bedtime.a light snack before bed can help promote sleep.it helps calm the brain and allow you to sleep better.for even better
