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℃ 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.”
40.What did Yue Kailang climb mountains to draw attention to?
_______________
41.How long did Yue Kailang this experience of climbing last?
____________
42.How old was he when Yue Kailang reached the top of the mountain at 7,546 meters?
_____________
43.Should we do something helpful for our earth? Why or why not? Write 30 words or more.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Yes, we should. Because we have only one earth that we live on, we should save Earth and protect it. To protect it is to protect ourselves and make us live better. (开放性试题,言之有理即可)
