Climate Change Changes Local Weather Patterns
In Unit 10, we studied weather observation and climate rules. Most students think climate change is a faraway problem that only influences polar ice and ocean animals. However, records from our city’s weather station show that climate change is already changing our daily weather and local natural forces clearly.
Thirty years ago, our city usually had steady four seasons. Spring was warm with light rain, summer had moderate thunderstorms, autumn was cool and dry, and winter had light snow every year. Now, the weather becomes much less regular. Spring temperatures rise faster, and we face long dry periods before May. Last year, no rain fell for forty days in spring, which made many farmlands crack. Farmers had to carry river water to water crops day after day.
Summer thunderstorms become stronger and more sudden. In the past, heavy rain warnings were sent out hours before storms arrived. Now, strong storms can form within thirty minutes. Last summer, a sudden heavy rain caused a small flood in the old town area. The underground drainage system could not take so much rainwater quickly, and many ground floors of shops were filled with water. Local weather workers explained that warmer air holds more water vapor, so rain falls in larger amounts in shorter time.
Winter is getting warmer year by year. Thirty years ago, the temperature often dropped below minus five degrees Celsius for two or three weeks every winter. Now, cold days below zero are fewer and shorter. Light snow used to come in late December, but in the past three years, snow only appeared once in early February and melted in one day. Less snow means less water storage for spring farm use. The river that feeds farmlands has lower water levels every spring now.
Strong winds also appear more often in all seasons. Thirty years ago, strong wind warnings came three to four times a year. Now we get eight to ten wind warnings every year. Strong winds break fruit tree branches, blow down street trees and even damage small farm greenhouses.
Weather station workers advise local people to form good habits to cut down energy waste, such as saving electricity, taking public transport and planting more trees. Small daily changes can slow down climate change. Schools should teach teenagers more climate knowledge from Unit 9 to Unit 11, so young people understand the connection between human activities and natural forces. Only when everyone takes action can we protect our local weather environment for the future.

A Volunteer’s Story of Wildfire Rescue
Last spring, a big wildfire broke out in the mountain forest near my hometown. I joined the city volunteer rescue team and spent three days helping local villagers. This special experience taught me lessons I could never get only from Unit 9 textbooks about natural disasters.
On the first morning, we received the notice at 6 o’clock. The fire spread fast because of strong southwest winds. Dry grass and pine trees burned quickly, and thick gray smoke covered the whole mountain. We drove to the foot of the mountain with boxes of masks, drinking water and bandages. Local firemen told us that over thirty families living at the mountain foot had to move to the town’s sports center for safety. Our team’s main job was to move old people and little kids, send out supplies and clean the fire escape roads.
An eightyyearold grandma refused to leave her small wooden house. She lived there for sixty years and all her old photos and farm tools were inside. The smoke got thicker minute by minute, and small burning branches fell down near her yard. I sat beside her and talked gently. I told her the fire would reach her house soon, and we could keep all her old things in the town’s storage room safely. At last, she agreed to get on our rescue bus. On the bus, she held my hand tightly and said she was thankful we did not force her away.
The second day’s work was harder. The wind grew stronger, and the fire spread to another hillside. We carried heavy bags of bottled water up the mountain for firefighters. My shoulders hurt badly after hours of walking on rough mountain roads. Some volunteers had small burns on their arms when moving burning branches away from houses. We took turns to rest for twenty minutes each time, and no one left the team early.
On the third afternoon, heavy rain fell suddenly. The rain put out most of the fire after four hours. We went back to the mountain to check for hidden small fires under fallen tree trunks. Many houses at the foot were saved, but parts of the forest turned black. Villagers cried when they saw their burnt fruit trees, but they were glad all family members stayed safe.
After the wildfire, our school held a sharing class. I talked about my volunteer experience to my classmates. I told them that learning disaster safety rules from books is important, but real rescue work lets us feel the power of natural disasters directly. Small acts of kindness can help people get through hard times. We also planted young saplings on the burnt mountain one month later to repair the broken forest.
6. What was the writer’s job as a volunteer
A．Put out the wildfire directly. B．Move villagers and send supplies.
C．Repair burnt houses in the mountain. D．Plant trees to stop the fire from spreading.
7. Why did the old grandma refuse to leave at first

B．She worried about her belongings in the house.
C．She wanted to put out the fire by herself.
D．She thought the fire would stop soon.
8. What helped put out the wildfire finally

C．Heavy rain. D．Natural wind change.
9. Which word can best describe the volunteer team

C．Quiet and shy. D．Funny and outgoing.
10. What lesson did the writer learn from this experience

C．Kind small actions can support people in trouble.
D．Forests can grow back quickly after wildfires.
