(para. 4) ......, has led to an increase in extreme weather and natural disasters worldwide, not only causing serious damage, but also costing human lives. ......in fact, news reports are frequently broadcast about extreme rainstorms and heatwaves causing deaths and economic losses.
(para. 2) In 2013, a lot of people were shocked by a news photo of a dead polar bear that was found on Norway's Arctic island of Svalbard. According to the scientists who found its dead body, all that remained of the polar bear was "skin and bones". An expert who has studied polar bears for many years said that from the position of its dead body, the bear appeared to have starved and died.
(para.5) Continued greenhouse gas emissions will result in further warming and long-lasting changes to the global climate. This requires the attention of people all over the world. Governments need to consider making policies and taking appropriate actions and measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.We as individuals can also reduce our "carbon footprint" by restricting the amount of carbon dioxide our lifestyles produce.
(para.3 ) Climate scientists often mention a key climate process called the "greenhouse effect", which has two common meanings: the "natural" greenhouse effect and the "man-made" greenhouse effect. The "natural" greenhouse effect refers to the fact ......However, the "man-made" greenhouse effect has now become a big problem.
(para. 1) We have known about climate change for decades. There is little doubt that Earth is getting warmer and warmer. A warming ocean and atmosphere along with melting ice and rising sea levels provide evidence of a dramatic change in the global climate.
Thinking of the wolf’s bloody mouth, Mac was nearly dead with fright. He could even imagine the wolf’s teeth tearing into his flesh. Just at the moment, the door was unlocked by Becky and the frightened man dived in, shutting the door just before the wolf pounced on him. So angry was the wolf that it kept roaring and smacking the window violently.

Sandstorms are strong dry winds that carry sand.
The desert is only 250 kilometres away to the west of Beijing.
"To have been caught in a sandstorm was a terrible experience," he said. "There was nothing to be done……You just had to hope you'd survive. I thought I was going to disappear under the sand." (para.2)
Huang Xiaomei, who lives in Beijing says, “To be cycling in a sandstorm is frightening……So if you want to go out, you'd better wear a mask.”(para.5)
