On Nov.18th, 1908, three men went up in a balloon. They started early in London. The headman was Auguste Gaudron, and the other two men were Tannar and Maitland. They had a big balloon and they were ready for a long way.
Soon they heard the sea. They were carrying the usual rope, and it was hanging down from the basket of the balloon. At the end of the rope they had tied a metal box. This could hold water, or it could be empty. So they were able to use the box to change the weight of the balloon. The three people were also carrying some bags of sand.
After the sun rose, the balloon went higher. It went up to 3,000 metres, and the air was very cold. The water in the balloon became ice. Snow fell past the men’s basket, and they could see more snow on the ground. The men tried to throw out some more sand; but it was hard. They tried to break the icy sand with their knives, but it was not easy. The work was slow and they were still falling, so they had to drop some whole bags of sand. One of them fell on an icy lake and made a black hole in the ice.
　　At last they pulled the box into the basket. It was still snowing; so they climbed to get away from the snow. They rose to 5,100 metres! Everything became icy. They were very cold and  they decided to land. They came down in Poland　heavily but safely. They had travelled 1,797 kilometres from London!

小題2:What was the metal box used for?

小題4: How long did they travel in the end?

閱讀下面的短文．并根據(jù)短文后的要求答題。
Since 1850．the temperature of Earth’s surface has increased about 0.6°C．Scientists predict it may warm much more by the end of this century．Who’s turning up the heat? Well, it seems that we are! Some of this global warming may be natural．However，nearly all scientists now agree that most of it is due to peoples actions．Over the past 150 years, we've added huge amounts of certain gases, especially carbon dioxide（CO2）to the air．These gases can keep heat near Earth's surface，so more carbon dioxide means more heat is kept near Earth's surface．Global warming may change the weather in ways that lead to more severe storms，floods and droughts．
We add carbon dioxide to the air when we burn things, especially fossil fuels．Fossil fuels are energy sources formed from the remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago．Coal，oil，and natural gas are all fossil fuels．People in the United States and other countries started bunting large amounts of fossil fuels more than a century ago．The amount d fossil fuels being burned each year has been increasing worldwide．The more we burn，_____________________．
What can we do to help? Nowadays to live a low-carbon life is quite popular in the world． Low-carbon means to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide．Saving energy and reusing are the key words. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make our lives low-carbon．
1．What problem can global warming cause?（根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題）

In the past, man did not have to think about the protection of his environment. There were not many people on earth, and natural resources seemed to be unlimited.
Today, things are different. The world has become too crowded. We are using up our natural resources too quickly, and at the same time we are polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue like this, human life on earth will not survive.
Everyone realizes today that if too many fish are taken from the sea, there will soon be none left. Yet, with modern fishing methods, more and more fish are caught. We know that if too many trees are cut down, forests will disappear and nothing will grow on the land. Yet, we continue to use bigger and more powerful machines to cut down more and more trees.
We realize that if rivers are polluted with waste products from factories, we will die. However, in most countries waste products are still put into rivers or into the sea, and there are few laws to stop this.
We know, too, that if the population of the world continues to rise at the present rate, in a few years, there will not be enough food.
What can we do to solve these problems?
If we eat more vegetables and less meat, we will easily get more food. Land that is used to grow crops can feed five times more people than land where animals are kept.
The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods of birth control.
Finally, if we educate people to think about the problems, we shall have a better and cleaner living place in the future.
