解析 标题归纳题。本文主要论述了学校应教育孩子们从很小就了解绿色生活、气候变暖方面的知识，从而在将来可以更好地解决气候变暖的问题。故A项“绿色生活”作标题最合适。
C
People need to seek out new foods because the world has so many mouths to feed.As of 2017，there were more than seven billion people on the Earth，according to the United Nations.And by 2100 that number may double.Feeding all of these people means not only improving the way foods are grown，but also finding new sources of nutrition(营养)．
And that quest is becoming ever more urgent.If nothing changes，within 35 years，the world’s appetite(胃口) will be greater than the amount of foods produced.That’s according to a report published last year.It was prepared by the Global Harvest Initiative，a private agriculture group based in Washington，D.C.
Global warming，too，is changing food production.Scientists predict that rising temperatures will reduce the growth of important crops like wheat，corn and soybeans.Low-income developing countries will be hit hardest.When harvests fall，crops become more expensive.And since those foods are also used to feed animals like cows and pigs，meat prices will rise too.
All over the world，researchers are racing against the clock to figure out how best to feed more people in a fast-changing world.And some surprising ideas have begun to come up.Two years ago，scientists introduced the first burger made from meat grown in a lab.The project cost more than 300,000，but it’s a start.Other researchers are developing seeds that can survive high temperatures and drought.Still others are finding ways to improve the genes of meat animals so they can produce more meat and can stand the heat.A gloomy(悲观的) forecast for the planet isn’t the only reason to study foods for the future.It’s a creative quest that will inspire people who can think in new ways about existing plants and animals.These researchers have used their talents in ways that even they never would have predicted.

April 22nd every year marks the start of Earth Day，a day that is celebrated every
year to raise awareness(意识) about our home planet and how we can save it from being damaged. 13
·Green up your home
This is one of the most common things that people do whenever Earth Day rolls around；that is，switch off their lights. 14 Conserve(节约) energy by switching off all power of electricity points whenever they are not on use.In addition，take out all the plugs(插头) from plug points even after switching them off.

·Be a little dirty
No，we don’t mean it “that way”．We simply mean to say，don’t take a bath.Yes，saving water is super important.A day or two without a bath won’t harm you，but it will certainly do a lot of good for our planet.A daily shower isn’t a matter of health；it’s a matter of comfort. 17
