How can we protect the Earth？ One problem to solve is climate（气候）change． You might wonder about climate change． What is it， exactly？

    Gases surround the Earth．（1）　　Sunlight passes down through the gases． The gases trap（储存）the sun's heat and act like blanket． Without these gases， the Earth would be very cold． The trouble comes when humans add too many gases to the atmosphere．The gases build up and trap even more heat．This causes changes in climate． The Earth becomes too warm．

    （2）　　There's another gas causing climate change． No one talks about it as much． It is nitrous oxide（氧化亚氮）． Many call it laughing gas． Dentists may give patients nitrous oxide so they will not feel pain． The atmosphere has small amounts of nitrous oxide． But nitrous oxide can stay in the atmosphere more than 100 years which can change the climate a lot．

    Nitrous oxide forms naturally． （3）　　Bacteria are living organisms（生物）made of single cells． Farmers use nitrogen fertilizer（氮肥）to help grow bigger crops． The bacteria in the soil take the nitrogen from the fertilizer and make more nitrous oxide with it．

    So how can we help？ "Number one is to not waste food，" Wagner Riddle， a scientist from Canada， said． （4）　　That number comes from a U． S． university study． "There is a lot that goes into making food"， Wagner Riddle says． "So then if it's wasted， it's for nothing．"

B． It comes from bacteria（细菌）that live in the dirt．

C． Carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）is one gas that traps heat．

D． More than one﹣third of all food created in the U． S． is wasted．

E． These gases reach high into the sky and are called the atmosphere（大气层）．

A．get into the cooking area    B．Secondly    C．seriously    D．Experts E．in your own home    F．properly   G．cause these problems H．Of course   I．Many people    J．move quickly out of the room

    Everyone knows that there is air pollution in the street， but it's a shock when you discover that you are also in danger from pollution（2）　　．

    （3）　　， especially those who live in Villages in the countryside， burn coal or wood on an open fire． This can be really dangerous，because there are harmful chemicals（化学物质）in the smoke from both wood and coal and they can（4）　　pollute the air in your home． When you breathe in these chemicals， they can harm your lungs（肺）and other parts of your body．（5）　　think that about 50 percent of open fires are dangerous， because chimneys（烟囱）don't work（6）　　and too much smoke stays in the house．

    Anna studied at the University of Oxford．（4）　　After the trip she became interested in China and began to learn Chinese．She calls herself "a clumsy（笨拙的） student， just like Guo Jing from Legends of the Condor Heroes， but one of loyal heart"．

    （5）　　Last year， he translated the animated movie Ne Zha．He said．"I see China's stronger cultural influences．And we have a growing number of students majoring in Chinese．More Chinese stories will appear in front of new audiences．"

（4）　　

    If the context doesn't help， look at the parts of the word． Does it have any parts you know？These can help you understand what it means． If you don't know the meaning of miner， try looking at parts of the word． You might know that a mine is a place underground where people get coal and other valuable things． A lot of times， ﹣er at the end of a word means"a person who does something"．So a miner might be someone who works in a mine．

Look it up

    If the three steps above don't work， you can look it up． （5）　　﹣either a book or online．

    Nobody knows the meaning of every word， but good readers know how to understand words they don't know．

根据短文内容，从选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项．

A． Use word parts
