Four and a half billion people worldwide live without a household toilet. Hundreds

of millions of people are using facilities that are unhealthy and more than a billion people defecate (排泄) in the open.

Michael decided to take action in response to what is one of the world's greatest public health crises. He invited 32 health workers from 16 communities in the southern Highlands of Madagascar to attend a training to organize communities to completely wipe out open defecation.

After completing the initial training, the 32 health workers returned to their towns and got to work. They met with their community and began to map out their town. Together they toured the area and pointed out every spot where people often defecate. Many of them became embarrassed after realizing the high amount of human waste in their community. They then continued to make a bill for the total costs of trips to the local health center when being treated for gastrointestinal (肠胃的) diseases. They quickly began to realize the financial Involvement, besides the health risks of open defecation.

The communities began to solve the problem on their own. They considered ways to reduce the cost, by using local materials. Bamboo fences were suggested as an alternative to wooden fences. Mud could be used to build walls instead of bricks. Before Michael starting his project, 267 toilets existed for the 6, 700 people living in the communities Michael aimed to reach. It was not enough at all. More than 300 additional toilets were built. He was pleasantly surprised by the enthusiasm he saw from the community towards making open defecation less.

24. What is the purpose of Michael's project? A. To change some people、‘’s living traditions. B. To help all people in poverty in the world. C. To develop professional skills of health workers. D. To rid many people of the habit of open defecation. 25. What motivated the communities to build toilets? A. Michael's healthy trainings for the locals. B. Health workers' suggestions on defecation.

C. Too many spots where people often defecate. D. The cost on diseases caused by open defecation.

26. What do many of the locals think of open defecation after mapping out their town?

A. They take it for granted. B. They view it as a shame. C. They think it unimportant. D. They value it as a tradition.

27. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The cost of toilets will become higher. B. Open defecation will become less and less. C. Most locals are still defecating in the open. D. The locals are enthusiastic about open defecation.

Human beings are in for a double treat in January with the appearance of two

supermoons. The first one rises on the night of New Year's Day. The second comes on the last night of the month, ending up with a lunar eclipse (月食). That is the end of a trilogy (三部曲) of big moon treats that began in Dec. 3 with a full cold moon. The Jan. I supermoon will be the biggest of the year. The moon will appear to be oversized for a few nights after that, though it will no longer be a full moon.

A supermoon is a full moon that appears at the closest point in the moon's orbit to earth, about 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than full moons that appear at the farthest point in the orbit. Supermoons hang around all night, are easy to see and are not damaging to the eyes, no matter how long you moon-gaze.

For those who may miss the night of Jan. 1, an even more charming supermoon will rise on the night of Jan. 31. That will be the second full moon of the month, which is usually called a \once in a blue moon--about every 2. 5 years. A blue moon is even rarer when it's a supermoon. But that won't be the only rarity that night. The super blue moon will also occur during a total lunar eclipse. If skies are clear, the total eclipse will be visible from eastern Asia across the Pacific Ocean to western North America.

Lunar eclipses make moons appear blood red because of the way the blocked sunlight bends,when the earth moves between the sun and the moon, blocking the sun's light from reflecting off the moon. So prepare yourself for the super blue blood moon on

the night of the lunar eclipse. To get the full effect of the lunar eclipse, watch at moonset.

28. What does the underlined word \A. The lunar eclipse. B. The New year's Day. C. The supermoon of Jan. 31. D. The biggest supermoon.

29. What can we learn about the supermoon on Jan. 31 from the text? A. It will be a super blue moon. B. It will begin with a lunar eclipse. C. It will be observed all over the world. D. It will be the biggest moon of the year.

30. What does the author advise observers to do about the lunar eclipse on Jan. 31?

A. Watch it when the moon sets.

B. Decide the spot first when they watch it. C. Film the whole lunar eclipse with mobile phones. D. Prepare sunglasses because the moon is too bright.

31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Double New Year Supermoons B. The Definition of A Supermoon C. Supermoons with A Lunar Eclipse D. The Rarity of the Blue Supermoon

As a climate scientist, i'm deeply aware that facts are not enough to reach most people when it comes to global warming. For many, climate change simply feels too distant, both in time and space.

That's where storytelling comes in.

I worked on the global warming documentary (纪录片) film series Years of Living Dangerously, the goal of which was to take viewers on a transformational journey by

telling personal stories about climate change with the help of Hollywood a-listers like Harrison Ford and Arnold Schwarzenegger. My job was to make sure each plot got the science right. But I must admit it that it was the personal stories that made the issue of climate change hit close to home for many viewers.
