From extreme（极端的） weather to rising sea levels，climate change has caused a lot of problems.Now，there is a new one：the Earth's days are getting a little longer as the planet spins（旋转） more slowly.
We all know the greenhouse effect.Human activities give off gases likeCO2.These gases keep heat in the air，warming the planet.As a result，large amounts of ice at the North and South Poles（极） are melting.Antarctica loses about 150 billion tons of ice every year，and Greenland loses 270 billion tons.
This melting ice threatens（威胁） coastal areas.But that is not the only problem.The melting ice moves Earth's weight away from the poles and into the oceans.This affects how fast the Earth spins.
Imagine a figure skater doing a spin.When she stretches out his arms，more weight is farther from her spin axis，and she spins more slowly.When she pulls her arms in，the weight moves closer，and she spins faster.The same thing happens to the Earth.As more of Earth's weight moves away from the poles，the planet spins more slowly，making our days a little bit longer.
The change in Earth's spin is very small，but it is speeding up.Scientists say that if we do not control the gases we give off，the change will become even greater.Even so，the change will not affect our daily lives much.But it should make us think about what we are doing to our planet.If we take no action，more problems may come.
46.What is the new problem caused by climate change in Paragraph 1？ ______
A. The Earth spins faster. B. The sea level is rising.
C. The Earth's days get longer. D. The ice at the poles is melting.
47.What causes the ice at the poles to melt according to the passage？ ______
A. The Earth spins more slowly.
B. The days become a little longer.
C. Greenhouse gases warm the Earth.
D. The weight moves away from the poles.
48.According to Paragraph 4，which skater spins faster？ ______
A. B.
C. D.
49.What can we infer from the passage？ ______
A. Melting ice changes how fast the Earth spins.
B. The Earth will keep spinning faster in the future.
C. The change in Earth's spin affects our daily lives greatly.
D. Human activities have nothing to do with climate change.
50.What is the writer's attitude towards the climate change problem？ ______
A. Fearful and doing nothing. B. Surprised and not believing.
C. Worried and calling for action. D. Hopeful and waiting for change.
