On the steps of a building, a group of engineering students were waiting for the last exam. On their faces was confidence.They knew the exam would be easy. The professor had said they could bring any books or notes during the test.Right after they came into the classroom, the professor handed out the papers. There were only five questions on it.Three hours passed. Then the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was nervous expression. The professor watched the worried faces before him, and then asked, How many of you have completed(完成) all five questions? No hand was raised. How many of you have answered four? Still no hands. Three? Two? The students moved restlessly in their seats. One, then? Certainly somebody has finished one. But the class kept silent. The professor said, That is exactly what I expected. I just want to make you know clearly that even though you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the subject you dont know. These questions you could not answer are common in everyday practice. Then, smiling, he added, You will all pass this course, your education has just begun.The years have obscured the name of this professor, but not the lesson he taught.（1）Why did the students think the exam was easy at first?

The OECD gave a test to 280 000 15-year-old students from more than 40 countries and regions (地区) last year. The OECD wanted to know how well students were doing at school.Finnish students were No. 1 in the reading test and second in maths after Hong Kong students. Those from Japan and Finland were top in science. In the problem solving, Finnish students came second to those from South Korea. The test also showed Finland had more top students than the other countries.Finns (芬兰人) of your age have done a really good job but dont have a sense of envy. You can learn from them. Most Finnish students make good use of the Internet. Of course not for computer games, but for doing more exercises and finding out more information.Libraries are also important.

Another cause is deforestation (cutting down trees) . Trees soak up carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases, from the air.There are already some changes happening because of global warming. Sea level is rising and some animals are already moving to new homes. Its already too late to stop global warming completely.If the warming gets worse, as scientists expect, there may be some kinds of plants and animals that is disappearing because they cant move to new homes. There may be more storms and floods. Sea level may rise so much that people have to move away from the coasts. Some areas may become too dry for farming.Global warming is a very difficult problem to fix. People are having a hard time agreeing on what to do about it. For example, everyone agrees that wasting energy is a bad thing to do. But some people think that the federal government (联邦政府) should make laws about it, while other people think it should be up to each person or business to decide what to do.Many states and businesses in the United States are not waiting until the federal government decides what to do. They have already started working on the problem.（1）What are the scientists arguing about in the passage?A . How fast is the earth warming?B . How much will the earth warm?C .
