Climate change may result from:natural factors, such as changes in the sun's intensity or slow changes in the Earth's orbit around the sun;natural processes within the climate system (e.g. changes in ocean circulation);human activities that change the atmosphere's composition (e.g. through burning fossil fuels) and the land surface (e.g. deforestation, reforestation, urbanization, desertification, etc.)新编实用英语综合教程1第四版Unit5Unit | Unit | FiveFiveGlobal warming is an average increase in the temperature of the atmosphere near the Earth's surface and in the troposphere, which can contribute to changes in global climate patterns. Global warming can occur from a variety of causes, both natural and human induced. In common usage, “global warming” often refers to the warming that can occur as a result of increased emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities.Greenhouse Gases:For over the past 200 years, the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil, and deforestation have caused the concentrations of heat-trapping “greenhouse gases” to increase significantly in our atmosphere. These gases prevent heat from escaping to space, somewhat like the glass panels of a greenhouse.新编实用英语综合教程1第四版Unit5Unit | Unit | FiveFiveBackGreenhouse gases are necessary to life as we know it, because they keep the planet's surface warmer than it otherwise would be. But, as the concentrations of these gases continue to increase in the atmosphere, the Earth's temperature is climbing above past levels. According to NOAA and NASA data, the Earth's average surface temperature has increased by about1.2 to 1.4oF in the last 100 years. The eight warmest years on record (since 1850) have all occurred since 1998, with the warmest year being 2005. Most of the warming in recent decades is very likely the result of human activities. Other aspects of the climate are also changing such as rainfall patterns, snow and ice cover, and the sea level. Scientists are certain that human activities are changing the composition of the atmosphere, and that increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases will change the planet's climate. But they are not sure by how much it will change, at what rate it will change, or what the exact effects will be.新编实用英语综合教程1第四版Unit5Unit | Unit | FiveFive Climate change may be a big problem, but there are many little things we can do to make a difference. If we try, most of us can do our part to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases that we put into the atmosphere. Many greenhouse gases come from things we do every day. As we have learned, these greenhouse gases trap energy in the atmosphere and make the Earth warmer. Driving a car or using electricity is not wrong. We just have to be smart about it. Some people use less energy by carpooling. For example, four people can ride together in one car instead of driving four cars to work. Why not try to do something to help make the planet a better place? Save Electricity Whenever we use electricity, we put greenhouse gases into the air. By turning off lights, the television, and the computer when you are through with them, you can help a lot. If you're leaving your computer for a while, put it on stand-by. You'll be able to restart it quickly, and it'll take less energy than shutting it down and then restarting it. Bike, Bus, and Walk You can save energy by sometimes taking the bus, riding a bike, or simply walking.PASSAGE IPASSAGE IWe Can Make a DifferenceWe Can Make a Difference123新编实用英语综合教程1第四版Unit5Unit | Unit | FiveFivePlant Trees Planting trees is fun and a great way to reduce greenhouse gases. Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air. Recycle Recycle cans, bottles, plastic bags, and newspapers. When you recycle, you send less trash to the landfill and you help save natural resources, like trees, oil, and elements such as aluminum. When You Buy, Buy Cool Stuff There are lots of ways we can improve the environment. One of the ways to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases that we put into the air is to buy products that don't use as much energy. Take Corporate Action Tell the companies you invest in that you care about global warming. Don't like a company's attitude on global warming? Go to shareholder meetings and speak up! Knowledge Is Power Learn everything you can about global warming. What is it? How does global warming work? Why is it happening? What are the causes? What are the critics saying?

(Para. 8) One of the ways to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases that we put into the air is to buy products that don't use as much energy. Analysis: Two that-clauses are used to serve as post-modifiers of nouns: the first one is that we put into the air, modifying greenhouse gases; The second that-clause is that don't use as much energy, modifying products. Note: In translation, the noun phrase products that don't use as much energy can simply be translated into “节能产品”, instead of “不消耗那么多能量 的产品”。

Sometimes it can be cold, rainy, windy and sunny — all in the same day. Generally, it rains quite a lot, especially in the north and the west. Most of the time, the weather is quite mild — never too hot nor too cold. In the summer, it is usually warm. The south of Britain is generally warmer than the north.The British ClimateThe British Climate新编实用英语综合教程1第四版Unit5Unit | Unit | FiveFiveDear Sir, I've been interested to read your letter on the Englishman's fascination with the weather and many of our visitors from abroad find it amusing. It is true that talking about the weather is a constant topic of conversation in this country, but the reason for this is not only climatic but social. Greeting people with expressions such as “lovely day, isn't it?” or “What terrible weather we're having, aren't we?” is our way of being friendly or starting a conversation. It may have very little to do with the state of the weather as such. We expect the other person to say “Yes, it is.” or “Yes, we are.” in the same way that we expect a person to say “Hello!” when we say “Hello!”. This custom can be very puzzling to foreigners. Of course, this way of making a conversation is closely related to the variability of our weather. There must be few places in the world where the weather changes quite so much from day to day. No wonder we take a daily interest in it! But I do think we are much too fond of running down our own climate, which is not half as bad as some people make out. It seems that our interest is more on speaking ill of it than the weather itself. Yours faithfully, (Mrs.) G.L. ThompsonHere is a letter to The Times from Mrs. G. L. Thompson, from which we can learn how a British native thinks about the weather in Britain.Back新编实用英语综合教程1第四版Unit5Unit | Unit | FiveFive The most important thing to remember about the weather in Britain is that it often changes. You can wake up to a beautiful blue sky and then it starts raining during breakfast. Similarly, you may decide not to go for a picnic because it's too wet — then later it's fine. As it is not very common in Britain to have long periods when the weather stays the same day after day, the kind of weather you get will depend not only on the time of year, but also on luck. The weather in Britain may explain a lot about what you find here. For example, the opportunities for people to meet outside depend a lot on the weather, so you won't see people meeting and spending time together outdoors as much as you do in hotter countries. This may give some visitors the idea that the British are not very friendly. The weather helps to explain eating customs too; a large hot breakfast, for example, is a good idea on a cold dark morning.PASSAGE IIPASSAGE IITheThe British British Like Talking About the Weather Like Talking About the Weather123新编实用英语综合教程1第四版Unit5Unit | Unit | FiveFive Foreigners are often amused that the British spend so much time discussing the weather. An important reason for this is that the climate in Britain is interesting and variable. Because the weather changes frequently, there's always something to say about it. This is probably the commonest way for strangers to start a conversation. At places like bus stops you might hear conversations start like this: 1st person: Lovely day, isn't it? 2nd person: Yes, isn't it? Then they go on to talk about what the weather has been like recently or what it'll be like next day. Another reason is that the British are reluctant to converse about personal matters with people who are not friends. Mentioning the weather is also a useful way to greet someone you pass on the street; it's inoffensive to begin a conversation with someone you don't know at a social event. A comment on a nice day or a personal complaint about the rain is an easy way to break the ice.4Exercises567Back新编实用英语综合教程1第四版Unit5Unit | Unit | FiveFive(Para. 1) The most important thing to remember about the weather in Britain is that it often changes.Analysis:To remember about ... is the post modifier of the sentence subject the most important thing, and that introduces the complement clause.Translation:关于英国的天气，需要记住的最重要的一点就是它多变。
