26、 In November 2020, Hurricane Eta made landfall in Central America. The storm caused huge damage from Panama to Florida. Two weeks later, Hurricane lota arrived. It was even more powerful. Heavy rain fell on places that were already flooded. President Juan Orlando Hernandez, of Honduras, said lota would leave the area in tatters.
Scientists say climate change is to blame. They don't know if it' s causing more storms, but data seems to show it's causing storms to be stronger and more harmful. James P. Kossin is a climate scientist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA).He says the increase in greenhouse gas emissions (排放) is changing how storms behave. “These storms have a human fingerprint on them," he told TIME for Kids.
As the planet warms, so do its oceans. That' s where hurricanes begin. A storm draws its energy from ocean air. Warmer water provides more energy, which means higher winds. It also means heavier rain. Increased energy is also causing hurricanes to get stronger and faster. In August, Laura changed from a tropical storm to a strong hurricane in about a day. It hit Texas and Louisiana with winds of up to 150 miles per hour. Laura's storm surge ---- a wall of ocean water mainly caused by a strong wind --- reached 17 feet in places. It was among the highest ever recorded in Louisiana.
Hurricanes are also sticking around longer to do more damage. Rising temperatures are slowing down westerly winds, which blow around the planet. That makes storms move more slowly. In 2017, Hurricane Harvey hung around for days, flooding parts of Texas. “That storm was damaging because it didn't move.” Kossin says. “It just sat there. And it rained and rained."
Reducing greenhouse gases is the first step. Kossin says. "we can stop making it worse. Then we can try our best to adapt to the new climate we' re in."

27、 Pumpkins are not only the most important symbol of Halloween; they are the star vegetable when it comes to the fall season in terms of decoration (装饰) and cooking uses. Often, we overlook how many different ways it can be used.

When your jack-o'-lanterns has lived its last day out in the doorway, refuse the usual practice of throwing it away at once. Instead, create a compost heap (堆肥堆) and let nature do all the work. Be sure to remove the candle and all of the wax inside, and cut the pumpkin into pieces. Those leftover nutrients will help your soil.
Make a pie—a great way to bring family and friends together. If you are feeling even more adventurous, try cooking something new with the pumpkins and see what wonderful delicious dishes you can produce in your very own kitchen. And don't think of the pumpkin just around holidays—it's great all year round. Don't let any part of the pumpkin go to waste this year. Turn them from orange to green this Halloween!

31、Directions: Fill in each blank with a missing word according to the text.
The benefits of a degree are not obvious to people who live on this remote island. Families have a【1】 lifestyle, hunting walruses, whales and other sea animals in the spring, and gathering berries in the summer. The largest employer is the school system; 【2】, there are only a handful of jobs in fishing, oil and the airlines that connect the island to the mainland. There isn’t much demand for anything else and more than a quarter of adults are 【3】.
Today two villages remain with a population of just 1,400. People there are used to the 【4】landscape and climate—in the summer, fields of grassy frozen ground 【5】 from snow-capped mountain ranges to the stony shorelines, but in the winter the sun disappears, there is a lot of snow, and polar bears arrive on ice floes. Leaving the island is not an option, as a ticket on a bush plane costs $400, a week’s earnings for many islanders. The sense of 【6】is strong. When a whale is killed, the houses and school empty as everyone races to the beach to take a share of the meat.
