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?

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.

While it's wonderful to share a special trip and new experience with friends or family,there's an attractive case for travel alone from time to time. Solo（单独的）travel can work for anyone,and here are good reasons why you should try it. You needn't discuss with others. It can be challenging（挑战性的） to talk over a trip and time away from work with another busy person in your life.1. Usually,these challenges can be overcome by simply planning far in advance. However,if you can’t find a travel partner on short notice,it may be the perfect tome to pack your bags and go anyway. You’re your own great company（同伴）. If you rarely spend significant time alone,you may be surprised at how enjoyable it can be.2. Depending on the destination,a solo trip can be a powerful and life-changing experience. Imagine sitting on a peaceful beach at sunset or taking an inviting morning hike alone. 3. Meet new people. If you are a born open person,traveling alone can be a wonderful way to meet locals and make new friends. Often,people who are alone appear more approachable（亲近的）to others.4. You could even join a group of like-minded people for yoga on the beach. The key is to keep an open mind while keeping safety in mind,especially in a foreign land. 5. For some reason,service at hotels and restaurants seems better when you’re traveling alone. People tend to admire those who travel by themselves. A.Enjoy great service. B.Do everything you want.
