     The UN Climate Change conference opened in Copenhagen,Denmark on Dec,7th with some 15,000
delegates and observers from nearly 200 countries attending what is called the last best chance for an agreement to combat (与……战斗) global warming.
     Their aim is to find common ground,including on reduction of greenhouse gas emissions,promotion and
transfer of new more ecofriendly technology and the necessary funding to make this possible,especially for the less developed and poorer nations.It also means coming up with long term vision and cooperation for
the future.
     Most scientists believe the warming trend is mainly caused by human activity,especially the use of
fossil fuels and the cutting down of forests.Skeptics (怀疑论者) say global warming is part of a natural
cycle of climate change.
      In Copenhagen,experts and officials alike are putting the emphasis on what people and governments
can do to cut the emission of greenhouse gases.
     Scientists say a 25 to 40 percent cut in carbondioxide emissions is needed to control global warming.
The European Union,China,and India have already promised reductions.The United States is waiting for
Congressional (国会的) approval for a proposal put forward by the Obama administration.
     Barack Obama,President of the United States said,"Each of us must do what,we can when we can to
grow our economies without endangering our planet-and we must all do it together.We must seize the
opportunity to make Copenhagen a significant step forward in the global fight against climate change."
    Desmond Tutu,Archbishop of South Africa said,"Worldwide,we have the chance to start turning the

sustainable climate agreement in Copenhagen."

阅读理解Dear Reader,
     Today I am going to ask you to support Wikipedia with a donation.
     Wikipedia is built differently from almost every other top 50 website.We have a small number of paid
staff,just twentythree.Wikipedia content is free to use by anyone for any purpose.Our annual expenses are less than six million dollars.Wikipedia is run by the nonprofit Wikimedia Foundation,which I founded in
2003.
     Wikipedia is driven by a global community of more than 150,000 volunteers-all devoted to sharing
knowledge freely.Over almost eight years,these volunteers  have  contributed  more  than 11 million articles in 265 languages.More than 275 million people come to our website every month to access information,
free of charge and free of advertising.
     But Wikipedia is more than a website.We share a common cause:Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge.That"s our commitment.
     Your donation helps us in several ways.Most importantly,you will help us cover the increasing cost of
managing global traffic to one of the most popular websites on the Internet.Funds also help us improve the software that runs Wikipedia-making it easier to search,easier to read,and easier to write for.We are
committed to increasing the free knowledge movement worldwide,by taking on new volunteers,and
building strategic partnerships with institutions of culture and learning.
     Wikipedia is different.It"s the largest encyclopedia (百科全书)  in history,written by volunteers.Like a
national park or a school,we don"t believe advertising should have a place in Wikipedia.We want to keep it free and strong,but we need the support of thousands of people like you.
                                                                                                                              Thank you,
