scale repeatedly and occupied large areas of land, for the state of wei was too weak to defend itself. in 273 b.c. ,the qin army launched a more serious attack upon the state of wei than ever. the king of the state of wei gathered his officials, and asked with a worried look if anyone could propose a way to defeat the qin army. after years of chaos caused by the wars, the officials trembled when fighting was mentioned, and no one dared to speak of resistance.at the critical moment when a large enemy force was bearing down upon the border, most of the officials persuaded the king to use for peace, at the cost of giving away to the state of qin the large area of land north of the huanghe river and south of the taihang mountain. however su dai, a counselor, did not agree. he hurried up to the king and said:your majesty, they dont think about the interests of the country at all. it is just because they are afraid of death that they ask you to sue for peace by betraying the country. of course you can temporarily satisfy the ambition of qin, but it will never stop attacking us until our land is totally given away.he added. once there was a man whose house was on fire. people told him to put out the fire with water, but he would not listen. instead, he carried a faggot to put out the fire, only to make the fire fiercer. isnt it similar to carrying faggots to put out a fire if you agree to sue for peace at the cost of the land of the state of wei?though sue dais argument was very convincing, the king accepted the suggestion of those officials and gave away to the state of qin a large area of the land of the state of wei. as might be expected, the qin army attacked the state of wei in 225 b.c. again, surrounding the capital city daliang and flooding it by digging open the dykes(堤防) of the huanghe river. the state of wei was finally destroyed.13when asked how to defeat the qin army, most officials .awere scared and at a loss what to dobwere worried and asked su dai

constant threat and none of tuvalus nine little islands is more than five metres above sea level. salt water is already entering the countrys drinking water supply, as well as damaging plants that produce fruit and vegetable. it fears it will be swallowed up by the sea. without urgent help, the countrys days are numbered.but tuvalu is not the first place to face sinking into the sea. venice, a historic city in italy best known for its canals, has sunk about 24cm over the past 100 years. experts say that it will have sunk another 20-50cm by 2050.a century ago, st. marks square, the lowest point in the city, flooded about nine time a year. nowdays it happens more than 100 times.while venice is slowly sinking into the mud on which it stands, tuvalus rising sea level is caused by global warming.the average global temperature has increased by almost 0.5 centigrade degree over the past century; scientists expect it to rise by an extra 1-3 degrees over the next 100 years.warmer weather makes glaciers（冰川） melt, adding more water to the ocean. the warmer temperatures also make water expand, so it take up more space, causing the sea level to rise. the sea level has risen about 10-25cm in the last 100 years.people have been increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as co2, through burning coal, oil and gas. this adds to the power of the greenhouse effect, making the planet even warmer.many scientists believe that, if the warming is not stopped, there will be huge climate changes. the sea level could rise by one metre this century.should this come true, millions of homes would be swallowed up by the sea and the world will be flooded with climate refugees looking for somewhere else to live.17we can infer from paragraph 2 that .atuvalu is in danger of being swallowed up by the seaball tuvalu islands are about five meters above the sea levelcdrinking water in tuvalu has been destroyeddtuvalu is often flooded by storms and waves18the author uses tuvalu and venice as examples in order to explain . ait is first places sinking into the seabit is sinking into the mud where they standcit will disappear in the futuredits trouble is caused by global

sometimes called performers of the ocean. this is because they can make impressive movements when they dive. the name “humpback”, whichis the common name for this whale, refers to the typical curve shape the whales back forms as it dives. sometimes the humpback will dive with a fantastic movement known as a breach. during breaching the whaleuses its powerful tail flukes to lift nearly two-thirds of its body out of the water in a giant leap. a breach might alsoinclude a sideways twist with fins stretched out like wings,as the whale reaches the height of the breach.a humpback whale breathes air at the surface of the water through two blowholes which are located near the topof the head. it blows a double stream of water that can riseup to 4 meters above the water.the humpback has a small dorsal fin located
