Activity 1: Read the passage and answer the following questions .(感悟话题,指向目标1)

One type of climate change is called global warming, which is causing a constant rise in the Earth's temperature. Another possible reason that glaciers are melting is deforestation, which happens when trees are cut down in mass quantities.
