48、e of Qin attacked the State of Wei on a large scale repeatedly and occupied large areas of land, for the State of Wei was too weak to defend itself. In 273 B.C. ,the Qin army launched a more serious attack upon the State of Wei than ever. The king of the State of Wei gathered his officials, and aske
49、d with a worried look if anyone could propose a way to defeat the Qin army. After years of chaos caused by the wars, the officials trembled when fighting was mentioned, and no one dared to speak of resistance.At the critical moment when a large enemy force was bearing down upon the border, most of t
50、he officials persuaded the king to use for peace, at the cost of giving away to the State of Qin the large area of land north of the Huanghe River and south of the Taihang Mountain. However Su Dai, a counselor, did not agree. He hurried up to the king and said:Your Majesty, they dont think about the
51、 interests of the country at all. It is just because they are afraid of death that they ask you to sue for peace by betraying the country. Of course you can temporarily satisfy the ambition of Qin, but it will never stop attacking us until our land is totally given away.He added. Once there was a ma
52、n whose house was on fire. People told him to put out the fire with water, but he would not listen. Instead, he carried a faggot to put out the fire, only to make the fire fiercer. Isnt it similar to carrying faggots to put out a fire if you agree to sue for peace at the cost of the land of the Stat
53、e of Wei?Though Sue Dais argument was very convincing, the king accepted the suggestion of those officials and gave away to the State of Qin a large area of the land of the State of Wei. As might be expected, the Qin army attacked the State of Wei in 225 B.C. Again, surrounding the capital city Dali
54、ang and flooding it by digging open the dykes(堤防) of the Huanghe River.

Without urgent help, the countrys days are numbered.But Tuvalu is not the first place to face sinking into the sea. Ven
58、ice, a historic city in Italy best known for its canals, has sunk about 24cm over the past 100 years. Experts say that it will have sunk another 20-50cm by 2050.A century ago, St. Marks Square, the lowest point in the city, flooded about nine time a year. Nowdays it happens more than 100 times.While
59、 Venice is slowly sinking into the mud on which it stands, Tuvalus rising sea level is caused by global warming.The average global temperature has increased by almost 0.5 centigrade degree over the past century; scientists expect it to rise by an extra 1-3 degrees over the next 100 years.Warmer weat

The sea level has risen about 10-25cm in the last 100 years.People have been increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such a
61、s CO2, through burning coal, oil and gas. This adds to the power of the greenhouse effect, making the planet even warmer.Many scientists believe that, if the warming is not stopped, there will be huge climate changes.
