• 3．For many years scientists have said that the earth is getting warmer.Now they have found some new hot cities!In the southern US，they have found that cities become very hot in summer.For example，the city of Atlanta in Georgia has the roof（屋頂） temperature of up to 50 ℃ while it is 27℃ in the street!At night，the outside of buildings stays so hot that the heat of the city causes storms all over the city!
     China also has the same kind of problem.Every year more farmland（農(nóng)田） is used for building factories or offices.More housing is needed，too.As people become richer，they buy more cars.New roads are needed and new car parks are built in the city centers.These all make cities hotter.
     It isn't easy to change the situation.City planners say that we should plant more trees in the middle of cities. "Every new street should have trees on both sides，" they say.Trees make the temperature lower，so we should have more trees in our parks and squares.Every roof in hot and sunny countries should have solar panels（太陽能電池板）.The electricity from them can be used to run the air conditioners（空調(diào)）in the buildings.
     People continue to cut down forests around the cities.This makes the problem worse.Cities are growing faster and faster.By the year 2025，four fifths of the population will be living in cities.If we go on like this，there will not be enough farmland to feed everyone in the world.
  
  （1）The scientists have found that

  .
  A．cities become very hot in summer
  B．Atlanta is the hottest city in America
  C．there are not as many storms as before
  D．it is not as hot on the roof as in the street
  （2）The way to make the city cooler is to

  .
  A．plant more trees
  B．try to use more air conditioners
  C．build more parks and squares
  D．paint the roofs of all the buildings white
  （3）What will probably happen in the future according to the last paragraph？

  
  A．Cities won't grow very fast.
  B．We will not have enough food.
  C．Most people will move to the countryside.
  D．People will plant more trees outside the cities.
  （4）What is the main idea of the passage？

  
  A．More farmland is needed.
  B．Trees make cities cooler.
  C．Cities are getting hotter.
  D．Scientists are worried about storms.

• 4．Today，pizza is one of the world's favorite foods.All over the world，people make different kinds of pizza.But where does pizza come from？And who made the first one？

     Then，inthe 1500s，some Europeans brought the first tomatoes back from the Americas.Tomatoes are necessary in making many pizzas today.At first，however，most Europeans thought eating tomatoes would make them sick.So，for about 200 years，few people ate them.
     Slowly，people learned that tomatoes were safe to eat，as well as delicious.Later，cooks in Naples，Italy，started the tradition of putting tomatoes on dough.It soon became a favorite food for poor people all over Naples.In 1830，a cook in Naples took another big step in the history of pizza-he opened the world' s first pizza restaurant.
     Today，about five billion pizzas are made every year around the world.In the United States alone，people eat about 350 slices every second!People may not know it，but every piece is a slice of history.
