One winter, there was a very big flood(洪水) , and a lot of. houses down below Alices house were washed away. Alices house was high enough to escape(逃脱) the flood, so when the water went away and the other houses were standing there with no roofs and walls and all covered with mud(泥浆) , her house was still quite all right. That year Alice was very lucky. Her house was quite small and there were only two small bedrooms. Her husband(丈夫) was dead when the children were very young, and she had four children, but Alice took in one of the families that lost everything in the flood and she shared her home with them till it was possible for them to rebuild（重建）their house. Alices friends were very surprised when they saw Alice do this. They could not understand（理解）why Alice wanted to give herself so much work and trouble when she had already quite a lot of children to support. Well, Alice said to her friends, at the end of the First World War, a woman in the town where I then lived in Germany found herself very poor, because her husband was dead in the war and she had a lot of children, as I have now. The day before Christmas, this woman said to her children, We wont have much for Christmas this year, so I am going to get only one gift for all of us and I am sure we will all be glad to have it. Now Ill go and get it. She came back with a little girl who was even poorer than them, and who had no parents. Here is our gift, she said to her children. The children were very excited and happy to get such a gift. They welcomed the little girl, and she grew up as their sister. I was just that Christmas gift.( ) 8. Where did Alice live? A.

They also said that in the past 100 years, as the global(全球的) temperature(温度) went up by 0.74, the temperature in North China has climbed 1.4 in only 50 years. China needs to cut carbon dioxide(二氧化碳), because its the main reason for global warming. The good news is that China has seen the importance of going green. China has set the goal(目标) of cutting energy use by 20% and pollution emission (污染排放) by 10% in the 11th Five-Year Plan. Can you slow down global warming? Sure! You and your family can take steps to cut the number of carbon dioxide that is sent into the air. Here are some pieces of advice to help you save the earth. Wear used clothes.
