A Chinese boy named Yue Kailang climbed a mountain to draw attention to climate change.
For 14 days, Yue Kailang experienced all these like snowstorms and a freezing temperature of -20°C while climbing Mount Muztagata in Xinjiang. The 16yearold from Beijing finally reached the top of the mountain at 7,546 metres.
Yue was the youngest in the “Climate Action” climbing team. The project's goal was to make people realize the danger of global warming by visiting snowy mountains.
“I loved nature when I was a kid. I often climbed mountains in Beijing. In recent years more and more news reports have talked about the environment being destroyed(破坏), and I feel quite upset about it,” said Yue.
“Mount Muztagata is an ideal place to research climate change because there are large areas of mountain glaciers(冰川),” said Yue.
Along the way, Yue also collected snow samples, which was part of the project's tasks. The samples will be given to scientists to study how air pollution forms.
“We say ‘saving Earth’ every day, but I think taking real action is more important than just talking,” said Yue. “I hope my story can draw more young people's attention to the serious problem of global warming. What I've experienced has shown that global warming is really not far away.”
根据语篇内容,回答问题。(26到29题每个题目的答案不超过5个词,30题不超过20词)
