Everybody knows that Earth spins from west to east. But what if Earth started spinning the other way?
Scientists from Germany have made a computer simulation( 模拟) in which Earth spins in the opposite direction – clockwise when viewed from above the North Pole. This showed them some interesting things about the weather and topography (地貌) on Earth.
As Earth spins in a counterclockwise direction, it shapes ocean currents(洋流). The direction of the spin, together with wind, produces different weather around the globe.
But a backwards spin changes the ocean currents and winds. Therefore, the climate(气候) is different. Western areas of continents(大陆) on Earth cool down as the eastern parts warm up. Winters become even colder in northwestern Europe, while eastern Russia becomes warmer than before. Rain no longer falls on the planet’s wettest places.
Another result of a backward spin is that Earth becomes greener. Scientists found that global desert coverage shrank from 42 million square kilometers to 31 million square kilometers. This may have something to do with the changing climate.
Therefore, you can see lush, green landscapes from Central Africa to the Middle East, which are
mostly covered by deserts now. More surprisingly, the Sahara Desert becomes an oasis(绿洲).
However, deserts don’t disappear. They just appear in some places that they never appeared in before. Deserts would cover North America, where countries like the United States and Canada lie. Sand
dunes(沙丘) would replace the Amazon rainforest in South America.
A backward spin would keep the major characteristics of Earth’s topography, such as the size, shapes and positions of continents and oceans. But it would also change the interactions between circulating(环
流) air, ocean and topography, lead scientist Florian Ziemen said. (
) 51. What condition did the German scientists use for the simulation?
A. Earth spins from east to west. B. Earth spins from west to east. C. The North Pole is turned upside down.
D. Earth moves around the South Pole.
(
) 52. Why would the climate be different if Earth spins backwards?
A. Because there won’t be any more large oceans. B. Because the ocean currents and winds will be changed.
C. Because it will change the amount of sunlight that Earth can receive. D. Because Earth will become greener without deserts.
( ) 53. What will a backwards spin bring to the Earth?
A. Winters will become colder. B. No rain will fall in summer.
C. Eastern Russia will become warmer.
D. The Sahara Desert will become smaller.
( ) 54. Which of the following sentence is not the result of a backward spin
A. It produces different weather around the globe
B. The Sahara will become an oasis and deserts will disappear. C. It will change the ocean currents and winds
D. It will keep the major characteristics of earths topography.
( ) 55. The passage mainly tells us that .
A. earth used to spin in the opposite direction
B. a backwards spin would cause interesting changes on earth C. global desert coverage has been shrinking
D. a backwards spin would change earth's topography complete.

Squirrels ( 松 鼠 ) are getting ready for winter. They are looking for nuts and seeds, digging holes in the ground or finding holes in trees. That's where they store the food they will need during the coming months, when the weather is cold and sometimes snowy.
Squirrels spend a lot of time in trees, which are like restaurants for them. Among their favorite things to eat are nuts and other parts of trees, like tender buds. Squirrels may also eat corn, insects and other animals. And, as anyone who has a bird knows, squirrels love bird food!
Squirrels stay active all winter, so they need plenty of food to help keep up their energy. Squirrels tend to bury food underground, piece by piece. Some squirrels may gather food into piles that they put at the base of trees or bury underground.
When they need the food, squirrels use their memories and sense of smell to help them find what they buried. Sometimes, you'll even see them digging through the snow.
Squirrels make nests in trees. Some squirrels spend much of the winter in underground tunnels （地道）, where it is warmer.
When spring comes, squirrels change their eating habits to new plant growth, like buds and leaves. Sometimes they forget to dig up all their buried nuts.
That's why you'll sometimes find a little tree growing in a place where neither you nor your family planted it. It
must have been the squirrels.
