What is the text about?
Based on the title “Can we take the heat”and the following pictures.
Traffic Jam FactoryThe text may be about:1.Vehicles and factories pump varieties of gases in huge quantities, especially carbon dioxide, into the atmosphere, which causes the greenhouse effect and will cause some other disasters.
2. How do we take actions to wrestle with this problem and stop the disasters from happening?What is global warming?Global warming means an average increase in the Earth’s temperature which leads to climate change.SkimmingRead the text and match the heads with

1. In the last few decades, scientists have reached consensus and reported that human beings are causing changes in the earth’s climate
2. Without these naturally occuring gases, the sun’s rays would bounce back into space leaving the Earth cold and impossilbe to live on.agreementjump back3. Given this data, it seems that the link between human activities and rising global temperatures is not merely a coincidence.
4. if we continue to produce carbon dioxide and other gases in such huge quantities, we are condemning life on Earth巧合destroying5. Some government, for example, the USA’s federal government, express reservations about whether global warming is really caused by human activities.

1. What is controlling the temperature of the Earth?
2. Are greenhouse gases necessary for life on Earth?
3. What human activities are causing global warming?
4. By how much has the global average temperature increased in the last 100 years?
5. How can we help solve the problem of global warming?Careful reading(2)Fill in the blanks about the text.Global warming means an average increase in the Earth’s temperature which causes climate change in turn. Scientists think it is ______ ______ that cause global warming, especially gases from ________ and vehicles which speed up global warming.factorieshuman beingsThey also think global warming is one of the biggest environmental problems in the 21st century.
The Earth’s temperature is controlled by __________ _____like carbon dioxide which ___ heat from the sun in the Earth’s atmosphere. Many experts believe global warming is mainly causedgreenhouse gases trapby human ________. Over the last 100 years , the global average temperature has increased _______ and if human beings continue to pump __________ gases into the Earth’s atmosphere, the global warming will cause dramatic climate changes like more frequent floods, _________ and by 1°F greenhouseheat waves activitiesDroughts. There are some serious diseases. Sea level will be ______ , floating coastal area , negatively affecting ______ and forestry.
So governments all over the world should reduce the ______of greenhouse gases. We individuals should pay ________ to what we are doing, even raisedfishingreleaseattentionsmall changes like ______ public transport, ________, using low-flow ____________, buying energy-efficient ___________ using recycled paper or ___________ lights can have __________ on the future of the Earth .taking recyclingshower heads light bulbsswitching off great effect Post readingVoice your opinions: Taking action on global warming (or climate change) is similar. In some cases, it only takes a little change in lifestyle and behavior to make some big changes in greenhouse gases reductions. For other types of actions, the changes are more significant. When that action is multiplied by the 1.3 billion people in China. Or the 6 billion people worldwide, the savings are significant.What difference can we make?Group work take public transport like busesExamples The recycling symbol buy the recycled productsRecycled productsuse low-flow shower headsbuy energy-efficient
