World leaders from nearly 200 countries have signed an important historic agreement to fight global climate change.The agreement came after two weeks of talks between the leaders at the 21st Conference in Paris, France.As part of the Paris agreement，countries said they would cut down on pollution However，according to the terms of the deal，countries that don’t do this will not be punished，or fined.Instead，the document is meant to show that governments around the world take climate change seriously and are willing to work together to fight global warming.World leaders have met many times to discu climate change.But，the 21st Conference of Parties, or COP21, which began on November 30 in Paris，was the first time they agreed on a global, legal pact (协定).Before the conference, each nation was asked to create plans on how to reach the shared goal.The pact that was signed allows countries to decide the best way to cut down their gas pollution.No matter how they decide to go green, each country must report honestly on all of their efforts.Every five years, nations must look at the work they’ve done and submit new plans on how they will improve over the next five years.
In the pact, the countries pledge to limit the amount of greenhouse gases emitted by human activity to the levels that trees，soil and oceans can absorb naturally.It urges countries to spend trillions of dollars on creating new energy sources, like solar and wind power.It also requires countries to raise at least $ 100 billion each year to help developing countries.However, critics of the pact say it is not detailed enough, and doesn’t include specifics about how the plan will be enforced and how improvements will be measured.The pact does include one large, specific goal: how countries will aim to keep global temperatures from rising more than 3.60℉(20℃) by 2100.Nonethele，the agreement is considered by many world leaders to be a major victory.The U.N.has been working more than two decades to convince governments to work together to reduce man-made emiions.“History will remember this day,” U.N.Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said.“The Paris agreement on climate change is a monumental succe for the planet and its people.” 1． When was the legal pact probably paed?

If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.
Take the taxi drivers for example.Taxis in Finland are mostly high-cla Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer.You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some busine to attend to(料理), and then walk off without paying your fare.The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.
The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners.Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals.The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card(住宿登记卡) to the waiter.With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.
The Finnish workers are paid by the hour.They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the bo on the rate(价钱).From then on, they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly(相应地).
With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”.But the strange thing is, all the taxi paengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their busine; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms.And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in.As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.
In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others? 1.While taking a taxi in Finland,
.
A.a paenger can go anywhere without having to pay the driver B.a paenger pays two US dollars for a taxi ride
C.a paenger can never be refused by the taxi driver wherever he wants to go
D.a paenger needs to provide good faith demonstration (证明) before leaving without paying 2.We know from the paage that big hotels in Finland
.
A.are mostly poorly managed
B.provide meals for any diners
C.provide free wine and charge for food
D.provide meal for only those who live in the hotels
3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the paage?
A.The workers in Finland are paid by the hour.
B.The workers are always honest with their working hours.
C.The workers and their boes will make an agreement in advance about the pay.D.The boes in Finland are too busy to check the working hours of their employees.4.The word “those” in the last but one paragraph probably refers to
.
A.people who are dishonest
B.people who often have meals in big hotels C.people who often take taxis
D.people who are worthy of trust

How I Turned to Be Optimistic
I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt’s house，and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America.We were on the bus then.I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me.I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio programs for school children to which I listened every morning.
I do not remember myself crying for this reason again.In fact，I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives.When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures.The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.
The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once.For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves.I did not quite know what I was or what I should be.Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me.Some time paed before my stepfather and I got used to each other.I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times”．
My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home.I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discued telephone bills with company representatives.
From my experiences I have learned one important rule：almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up，and just wait a little！I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.1．How did the author get to know America before she went there?

C．From books and pictures.
D．From radio programs.
2．Upon leaving for America the author felt ____.

3．For the first two years in New York，the author ____.
A．often lost her way
B．did not think about her future
C．studied in three different schools
D．got on well with her stepfather
4．What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4?
