II. Identify 10 errors in the following passage and correct them.(5pts)
The Chinese are very generous when it comes to the education of their children.
No caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or
even abroad to England, the United States or Australia. They also want their
children to take extra- course activities which they will either learn a musical
instrument or ballet, or other classes which will give them a head start in life. The
Chinese believe that the most expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents
will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will
buy a computer for their son or daughter. However, what most parents fail to see is
that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap.
Parents can see that their children’s skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in
the others. What most parents fail to realize, though, is that today children lack
self-respect and self-confidence. The problem is that parents are only educating
their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but
parents are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident,
happy, or clever. Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills as cooking,
sewing, and doing another housework. Teaching a child to cook will improve
much of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and
time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to
improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job
successfully. His result, a well-cook dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a
lot of self-confidence.

WARNING ON GLOBAL WARMING
Global warming could cause drought and possibly famine in China, the source
of much of Hong Kong’s food, by 2050, a new report predicts. Hong Kong could
also be at risk from flooding as sea levels rose. The report recommends building
sea-walls around low-lying areas such as the new port and airport reclamations.
Published by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), the report, which includes
work by members of the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences, uses the
most recent projections on climate change to point to a gloomy outlook for China.
By 2050 about 30 to 40 per cent of the country will experience changes in the
type of vegetation it supports, with tropical and subtropical forest conditions
shifting northward and hot desert conditions rising in the west where currently the
desert is temperate. Crop growing areas will expand but any benefit is expected to
be negated by increased evaporation of moisture, making it too dry to grow crops
such as rice. The growing season also is expected to alter, becoming shorter in
southern and central China, the mainland’s breadbasket. The rapid changes make it
unlikely that plants could adapt.
“China will produce smaller crops. In the central and northern areas, and the
southern part, there will be decreased production because of water limitations,” Dr.
Rik Leemans, one of the authors of the report, said during a brief visit to the
territory yesterday. Famine could result because of the demands of feeding the
population — particularly if it grows - and the diminished productivity of the land.
“It looks very difficult for the world as a whole,” he said.
Global warming is caused by the burning of large amounts of fossil fuels, such
as coal and oil, which release gases that trap heat in the atmosphere. World
temperatures already have increased this century by about 6 degrees Celsius and
are projected to rise by between 1.6 degrees and 3.8 degrees by 2100.
Dr. Leemans said China’s reliance on coal-fired power for its industrial growth
did not bode well for the world climate. “I think the political and economic powers
in China are much greater than the environmental powers, and [greenhouse gas
emissions] could accelerate,” Dr. Leemans said. “China is not taking the problem
seriously yet, although it is trying to incorporate this kind of research to see what is
going to happen.”
The climate change report, which will be released tomorrow, focuses on China
but Mr David Melville of WWF-Hong Kong said some of the depressing scenarios
could apply to the territory. Food supplies, for instance, could be affected by lower
crop yields. “Maybe we could afford to import food from elsewhere but you have
to keep in mind that the type of changes experienced in southern China will take
place elsewhere as well,” he said. Sea levels could rise as glaciers melted and the
higher temperatures expanded the size of the oceans, threatening much of
developed Hong Kong which is built on reclaimed land. Current projections are
that sea levels worldwide will rise by 15 to 90 centimetres by 2100, depending on
whether action is taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
“Hong Kong has substantial areas built on reclaimed land and sea level rises
could impact on that, not only on Chek Lap Kok but the West Kowloon
Reclamation and the Central and Western Reclamation - the whole lot,” Mr
Melville said, adding that sea-walls would be needed. Depleted fresh water
supplies would be another problem because increased evaporation would reduce
levels. Mr Melville said the general outlook could be helped if Hong Kong used
water less wastefully and encouraged energy efficiency to reduce fuel-burning. He
also called on the West to help China improve its efficiency.

Climate change and the Inuit
The threat posed by climate change in the Arctic and the problems faced by
Canada's Inuit people
A Unusual incidents are being reported across the Arctic. Inuit families going
off on snowmobiles to prepare their summer hunting camps have found themselves
cut off from home by a sea of mud, following early thaws. There are reports of
igloos losing their insulating properties as the snow drips and refreezes, of lakes
draining into the sea as permafrost melts, and sea ice breaking up earlier than
usual, carrying seals beyond the reach of hunters. Climate change may still be a
rather abstract idea to most of us, but in the Arctic it is already having dramatic
effects - if summertime ice continues to shrink at its present rate, the Arctic Ocean
could soon become virtually ice-free in summer. The knock-on effects are likely to
include more warming, cloudier skies, increased precipitation and higher sea
levels. Scientists are increasingly keen to find out what's going on because they
consider the Arctic the 'canary in the mine' for global warming - a warning of
what's in store for the rest of the world.
B For the Inuit the problem is urgent. They live in precarious balance with one
of the toughest environments on earth. Climate change, whatever its causes, is a
direct threat to their way of life. Nobody knows the Arctic as well as the locals,
which is why they are not content simply to stand back and let outside experts tell
them what's happening. In Canada, where the Inuit people are jealously guarding
their hard-won autonomy in the country's newest territory, Nunavut, they believe
their best hope of survival in this changing environment lies in combining their
ancestral knowledge with the best of modern science. This is a challenge in itself.
C The Canadian Arctic is a vast, treeless polar desert that's covered with snow for
most of the year. Venture into this terrain and you get some idea of the hardships
facing anyone who calls this home. Farming is out of the question and nature offers
meagre pickings. Humans first settled in the Arctic a mere 4,500 years ago,
surviving by exploiting sea mammals and fish. The environment tested them to the
limits: sometimes the colonists were successful, sometimes they failed and
vanished. But around a thousand years ago, one group emerged that was uniquely
well adapted to cope with the Arctic environment. These Thule people moved in
from Alaska, bringing kayaks, sleds, dogs, pottery and iron tools. They are the
ancestors of today's Inuit people.
D Life for the descendants of the Thule people is still harsh. Nunavut is 1.9
million square kilometres of rock and ice, and a handful of islands around the
North Pole. It's currently home to 2,500 people, all but a handful of them
indigenous Inuit. Over the past 40 years, most have abandoned their nomadic ways
and settled in the territory's 28 isolated communities, but they still rely heavily on
nature to provide food and clothing.
Provisions available in local shops have to be flown into Nunavut on one of the
most costly air networks in the world, or brought by supply ship during the few
ice-free weeks of summer. It would cost a family around £7,000 a year to replace
meat they obtained themselves through hunting with imported meat. Economic
opportunities are scarce, and for many people state benefits are their only income.
E While the Inuit may not actually starve if hunting and trapping are curtailed by
climate change, there has certainly been an impact on people's health. Obesity,
heart disease and diabetes are beginning to appear in a people for whom these have
never before been problems. There has been a crisis of identity as the traditional
skills of hunting, trapping and preparing skins have begun to disappear. In
Nunavut's 'igloo and email' society, where adults who were born in igloos have
children who may never have been out on the land, there's a high incidence of
depression.
F With so much at stake, the Inuit are determined to play a key role in teasing out
the mysteries of climate change in the Arctic. Having survived there for centuries,
they believe their wealth of traditional knowledge is vital to the task. And Western
scientists are starting to draw on this wisdom, increasingly referred to as 'Inuit
Qaujimajatugangit', or IQ. 'In the early days scientists ignored us when they came
up here to study anything. They just figured these people don't know very much so
we won't ask them,' says John Amagoalik, an Inuit leader and politician. 'But in
recent years IQ has had much more credibility and weight.' In fact it is now a
requirement for anyone hoping to get permission to do research that they consult
the communities, who are helping to set the research agenda to reflect their most
important concerns. They can turn down applications from scientists they believe
will work against their interests, or research projects that will impinge too much on
their daily lives and traditional activities.
G Some scientists doubt the value of traditional knowledge because the
occupation of the Arctic doesn't go back far enough. Others, however, point out
that the first weather stations in the far north date back just 50 years. There are still
huge gaps in our environmental knowledge, and despite the scientific onslaught,
many predictions are no more than best guesses. IQ could help to bridge the gap
and resolve the tremendous uncertainty about how much of what we're seeing is
natural capriciousness and how much is the consequence of human activity.
