Since the first Earth Day in 1970, Americans have gotten a lot “greener” toward the environment. “We didn’t know at that time there even was an environment, let alone that there was a problem with it,” says Bruce Anderson, president of Earth Day USA. But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement .Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement. “The understanding has increased many， many times,” says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first. According to US government reports, emissions (排放)from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 tons .The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9. Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with, the world is a safer and healthier place. A kind of “Green thinking” has become part of practices. Great improvement has been achieved. In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs; today in 1995 there are about 6,600. Advanced lights, motors, and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution. Twenty –five years ago, there were hardly any education programs for environment. Today, it’s hard to find a public school, university, or law school that does not have such a kind of program. “Until we do that, nothing else will change!” say Bruce Anderson. 【1】According to Anderson, before 1970, Americans had little idea about ___ A. the social movement B. recycling techniques C. environmental problems D. the importance of Earth Day 【2】Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from? A. The grass –roots level B. The business circle C. Government officials D. University professors 【3】What have Americans achieved in environmental protection? A. They have cut car emissions to the lowest B. They have settled their environmental problems C. They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities. D. They have reduced pollution through effective measures. 【4】What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph? A. Education B. Planning C. Green living D. CO reduction

A volunteering vacation can be a meaningful way to spend your time off, but to make the trip satisfying both for you and the cause you are supporting, several factors need to be considered. Here is some advice on planning the satisfactory vacation: 【1】 There are hundreds of causes to volunteer for, and finding one close to your heart will lead to a more worthwhile trip. Possibilities include wildlife conservation, education, environmental protection, health and nutrition. Also, consider any personal and professional skills that you can contribute. 【2】 Choose your destination and setting. Your volunteering trip will be more enjoyable if you use it to reach a favorite destination. Southeast Asia is on your mind, helping with tree­planting programs in Bali would benefit the environment and let you appreciate the scenic island. 【3】 Is volunteering outdoors in a hot or snowy climate attractive, or do you prefer being in an air­conditioned office? Ask the right questions. 【4】 Be aware that most volunteering programs require a week-long stay. Ask other questions like: How many hours of work per day is required? Are there days off? Will you be working individually or as part of a team? And what are the goals of your efforts? 【5】 Ask if the cost includes only accommodations or meals and transportation too. A. Figure out your cause. B. Find a well­respected organization. C. And think about the surroundings you want. D. Your duty there is to rest and play. E. The more you know about your trip, the more successful it will be. F. Despite the word “volunteer”, these vacations usually cost you some money. G. If you’re a doctor, for example, working at a health clinic could be an ideal fit.

I suggest that our school organizes a first aid course, that is very useful. The reasons why a first aid course is necessary are as follows: we students lack first aid knowledges. A first aid course can’t satisfy our need. Beside, it will give information about many situations and give us the chance to practice first aid treatments. As for the course, they can be given monthly. The course should main include the practice of first aid treatments. It would better if the experts in first aid were introduced to instructing the course. Yours, Peter
