If you think this summer feels hotter than usual, you’re not alone. In June 2026, many places around the world had their highest temperature ever, with some cities above 45°C. Scientists say this extreme heat is related to a natural weather event called El Ni o (厄尔尼诺).
El Ni o happens every few years. It starts when the sea water in the central and eastern Pacific becomes unusually warm. This changes wind and air pressure around the world, causing droughts (旱灾) in some places and floods in others. During El Ni o years, many areas get much hotter than normal.
The latest El Ni o began in early 2026 and is getting stronger. It could be one of the strongest in history. Countries like India, Thailand, and Spain have reported heatrelated deaths. High temperatures have also spoiled grains, making food prices rise.
Some people ask: “Is global warming making El Ni o worse ” Probably yes. El Ni o is natural, but climate change makes its effects more serious. A warmer ocean leads to a stronger El Ni o, which brings even hotter weather. This creates a dangerous cycle.
How can we stay safe in hot weather Stay indoors from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Drink plenty of water. Wear lightcolored and loose clothes. Never leave children or pets in a parked car. Check on elderly neighbors. Remember, knowing why the heat happens and how to protect ourselves is the first step to staying safe.
8. How does the writer begin the passage
A．By listing safety tips for hot weather.
B．By asking a question and then answering it.
C．By talking about the reader’s feeling and agreeing with it.
9. Where does El Ni o start according to the article
A．In the Indian Ocean. B．In the Atlantic Ocean near Europe.
C．In the central and eastern Pacific Ocean.
10. What does the underlined word “spoiled” mean in Paragraph 3
A．Destroyed. B．Watered. C．Helped to grow better.
11. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph
A．To explain how El Ni o is formed. B．To tell the history of global warming.
C．To give advice on how to stay safe in hot weather.

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题或翻译画线部分。
The government introduced a plan in March, and now many schools are adding extra days off. The plan says some primary and secondary schools can add spring and autumn breaks for students according to their own actual situation.
In Guangzhou,310 students from Yuyao Middle School had a fiveday spring break in March. They learned about history and science at places like the Museum of Dr Sun Yatsen, the Hong KongZhuhaiMacao Bridge and Zhuhai Aerospace Land (珠海太空中心). “When other students are still staying in classrooms, we’re out enjoying ourselves,” one student told Xinhua.
Yin Xianwen, the Party chief (党委书记) of the school, thinks this is a very good way of learning.
“Watching plants grow is a lesson in nature, visiting old places of interest is a history lesson, travelling with classmates is a lesson in social skills (社交能力),” Yin told People’s Daily. “It offers students the chance to get the most precious growth experiences during the most beautiful season.”
Also, students can spend spring break with their family. Xinhua said this can help families get closer and cut down students’ study pressure.
However, there are some challenges. Not all parents can ask for leave to stay with their children. So some children may have to stay at home alone and play with mobile phones all day. Schools also need to change their original class plans to fit the new holiday arrangement. People’s Daily points out that to make these new holidays work well, the government, schools, parents and neighborhoods need to work together.
