2、as Smith was walking his dog, Jack, in the park. As I was walking, I just saw Jack running onto the ice towards the ducks in the middle, and then he fell into the water and couldnt climb out, said Smith. He realized he had no choice but to try and save his dog. Someone else told me the lake was only

3、 one-meter deep, but it was at least twice that. I had to break my way through the 6-cm ice. Finally, I got Jack by the neck, and pulled him out. I dont think I have ever felt so cold by the time we got back to dry land. And when we got there, everyone was asking if Jack was okay-no one was particul

4、arly worried about me! A neighbor, Julie Brown, saw it all happen. The dog went onto an icy lake. All of a sudden, it started to go under. There were crowds of people around, and they were all shouting and screaming. Before I knew it, the owner (Smith) was in the water forcing his way through the ic

5、e. I cant begin to imagine how cold it was. Everyone was very nervous, but he was as cool as a cucumber -he just crawled back out, put the dog on its lead, and went home. Many regard him as a hero, but Mr Smith is quite laidback about it. Most dog owners are the same as me. They would do what I did

6、without a second thought. But in the future, Im going to make sure hes on a lead near any icy ponds. Pets are members of our family. Would you do the same for them? 1.What happened on a cold January morning? A .Mr Smith met Jack in the park. B .Mr Smith ran after Jack on the ice. C .Jack fell from t

8、ons for Pets Owners B China and India are leaders in improving global (全球的) tree cover, a new study based on NASA research showed. They took a 31.8 percent part together of the total global new leaf area between 2000 and 2017. China played a major role, adding 25 percent to this increase, and India

9、added 6.8 percent, followed by Canada and Russia. The study in the Nature Sustainability journal shows that more than 5.5 million square km of green leaf area was added globally. Since 2000, there has been a five-percent increase in global green cover, it said. The greening over the last twenty year

10、s shows an increase in leaf area on plants and trees which is as large as the area of the entire Amazon rainforest, Chi Chen, a Boston University researcher and lead of the study told Nature Sustainability. Large plantation activities to protect forests in China contributed nearly 42 percent to the

11、countrys green cover, and agriculture (农业) added another 32 percent. In India, 82 percent of the increase in leaf area was because of agriculture. China and India take up one-third of the greening, but hold only nine percent of the planets land area covered in green plants, Chi Chen told NASA Earth

12、Observatory. That is a surprising finding, considering the land degradation (退化) in countries with large populations. Boston Universitys research team first detected an increase in global green cover in the 1990s but were unsure about what contributed to the increase. Finally, with the help of NASAs

13、 Terra and Aqua satellites research, they managed to find out the increase in leaf cover from different areas and places. 1.Which country increased the largest part of the new leaf area?

Every day Americans experience the horro

16、r of fires, but most people dont understand fires. To protect yourself, it is important to learn something about home fires. In less than 30 seconds a small flame (火焰) can get completely out of control and turn into a major fire. It only takes minutes for thick black smoke to fill a house or for it

17、to be in flames. Most deadly fires happen in the home when people are asleep. If you realize a fire, you wont have time to take valuables because the fire spreads too quickly and the smoke is too thick. The fire uses up the oxygen (氧气) you need and produces smoke and poisonous (有毒的) gases that kill.

18、 Breathing even small amounts of smoke and poisonous gases can make you tired and sleepy, and short of breath. The smoke can cause you to be a deep sleeper before the flames reach your door. You may not wake up in time to escape. Room temperatures in a fire can be 100 degrees at floor level and rise

19、 to 600 degrees at eye level. Breathing in this super-hot air will burn your lungs. It can melt clothes to your skin. In five minutes, a room can get so hot that everything in it starts to burn at once. Fires are bright at first, but quickly produce black smoke and complete darkness. If you wake up

20、to a fire you may be blinded, confused about where you are or which direction you should go in and unable to find your way around the home youve lived in for years.
