When you watch TV and play video games you make global warming（全球变暖） worse! To make electricity, fossil fuels（矿物燃料） are burned in big factories. But burning fossil fuels also makes greenhouse gases. This means that every time you use electricity you help make global warming worse!
Cars are also making global warming worse. They burn fossil fuels in their engines, and send lots of greenhouse gases into the air.
So what can we do to stop global warming?
Try to use less electricity. First, turn off lights, your television, and your computer when you stop using them，You could also try to watch less TV. But you may find it hard to do these! Second, plant trees. Not only is it a fun thing to do, but it is also a great way to lower the number of greenhouse gases in the air. Trees take carbon dioxide（二氧化碳） out of the air when they grow. Last, don't throw away your rubbish, but try to recycle it. Because if rubbish is not recycled, it rots（腐烂） and makes a greenhouse gas called methane（甲烷）. So try to recycle cans, bottles, plastic bags and newspapers. It'll make you feel great! And it'll help the Earth.

【解析】【分析】本文讲的是如何减少碳排放，减少空气中的温室气体，减轻温室效应，以使地球变暖不再加剧。文章中还给了我们几条具体的建议，从我做起，保护环境。
（1）细节题。根据 To make electricity, fossil fuels（矿物燃料） are burned in big factories. 可知为了发电，矿物燃料在大工厂里燃烧，故选C。
（2）细节题。根据 Cars are also making global warming worse. They burn fossil fuels in their engines, and send lots of greenhouse gases into the air 可知汽车也使全球变暖恶化。因为它们在发动机中燃烧矿石燃料并产生温室气体 ，故选B。
（3）细节题。根据最后一段描述可知有尽量少用电，植物树木，不要丢弃垃圾，尽量回收垃圾3条建议，故选B。
（4）细节题。根据 根据Trees take carbon dioxide out of the air when they grow.可知种树有帮助，但很无聊不正确 ，故选C。
【点评】考查阅读理解。本文涉及细节题，细节题要注意从文中寻找答案。
