A green house is a building made of glass which is used for keeping warm when the outside temperature is low. In a similar way there are several gases in the atmosphere (mixture of gases that surround the earth) which trap the heat produced by the sun and prevent it from escaping. These gases are known as “greenhouse gases”. and the way in which they trap heat in the atmosphere is called the “greenhouse effect”. This is not simply air pollution. Most of the main greenhouse gases exist naturally in small amounts in our atmosphere, and without them the earth would be 30 degrees colder and human life would not exist. In other words, the greenhouse effect is a natural course which is to some degree helpful to us.
The problem is that in the last century and a half, we have been putting too many of these gases into the earth’s atmosphere by burning large quantities of coal and oil and by cutting down forest. The rapid increase in greenhouse gases is making the world warmer. The world’s temperature has already gone up by half a degree this century, and the sea level has risen by 10 centimetres. If the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere doubles, there will probably be a rise in the earth’s temperature of between I and 4℃;. This may seem a small increase, but it would be enough to cause major changes in geography and agriculture. Large areas of the world would be flooded, and some areas would become dry and unable to produce crops. It is important, too, to consider that there may be a delay of about 30 years in the greenhouse effect. This means that we are probably experiencing only now the effect of the gases put into the atmosphere before the 1960s. Since then, our use of these gases has greatly increased.
1. According to the passage, we can know “greenhouse effect” means_______.

4. Suppose the earth’s temperature rose by 3 degrees, _______.
A. great harm will be done to mankind B. the sea level would go up by 10 centimeters
C. all the land in the world would be flooded D. crops would be unable to grow on the earth
5. This passage mainly deals with ________.
A. the concept (概念) and the harm of the greenhouse B. the relation between greenhouse gases and man
C. the concept and change of greenhouse effect D. the effect of the rise of the earth’s temperature

COVER STORY—Pax's New Life
By Michelle Tauber and Mary GreenThe actress and 3-year-old Pax Thien Jolie, whom she adopted last week from an orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City, left Hanoi's Noi Bai Airport in a private jet on Wednesday, bound for home—and, for Pax, a new life – in the U.S.
Jolie, 31, understands the challenges her new son will face as the latest addition to the world's most famous multicultural family. "You can imagine what courage it takes to be in all new surroundings, with new people and a new language," she tells PEOPLE in its new issue. "He is very strong." But she is committed to making his transition as smooth as possible. "It will take him a while to realize he has a family," she says, "and that his new life is permanent and that it won't keep changing."
The boy with the sweetly shy smile and the big brown eyes joins big brother Maddox, 5 （adopted from Cambodia）, sister Zahara, 2 （adopted from Ethiopia） and 10-month-old Shiloh, the daughter born to Jolie and Brad Pitt, 43, in May.
As for Dad, because Vietnamese regulations don't allow unmarried couples to co-adopt, Jolie adopted Pax as a single parent while Pitt remained in Los Angeles, where he is filming The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. "He has specific days on the movie that couldn't be changed or production would run over," says his rep.
But Jolie still made sure to bring a welcoming committee: Joined by Maddox and Zahara – Shiloh has been on the Button set every day with her father—the new mom used her first few days with Pax to begin gently bonding with him and to ask her other kids to do the same.
"We are slowly beginning to build his trust and bond," Jolie says, "but it will feel complete only when we are all together."
For exclusive photos – plus details on Angelina and Pax's first moments together, what Pax's life was like at the orphanage and more – pick up this week's PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday.
69. According to the passage, how many children does Jolie have in all?

A. Pax is the last children that Jolie has.
B. Vietnamese laws allow everyone to adapt orphan.
C. Pax meet the whole family with the help of Jolie.
D. Pitt takes care of Shiloh when he acts in a movie.
71. Why does Jolie want to start a gentle relationship with her son Pax?
A. Because Jolie thinks Pax doesn't know he has a family.
B. Because Jolie wants to set an example to her other children.
C. Because Pax is a strong boy in Jolie’s mind.
D. Because Pax can't meet his father when he is in America.
72. What is the purpose of this passage?

B. To introduce Jolie’s all family members to readers
