     On March 27, Saturday evening, people all over the world once again turned their lights off for an hour
to help fight against global climate changes and give the world a brighter future.
     For Earth Hour 2010, many best-known buildings went dark from 8:30 to 9: 30 local time, such as the
Eiffel Tower, Big Ben, Sydney's Opera House and Beijing's Forbidden City, etc. Millions of businesses and
homes around the world also turned off their lights.
     Some 4, 000 cities in more than 120 countries volunteered to turn off Saturday to reduce energy
consumption (能量消耗). "We have everyone from Casablanca to the camps of Namibia and Tanzania taking
part," said Greg Bourne, CEO of WWF (World Wildlife Fund) in Australia, which started Earth Hour.
     Earth Hour began in Sydney, Australia, in 2007. In 2008, the event turned into an international one, which
has drawn the participation of hundreds of towns and cities worldwide. Now in its fourth year, more and
more cities from the world took part in Earth Hour as a show of support for action against global warming.
     In a WWF survey after Earth Hour 2009, 80 million U.S. citizens said they had participated, according to
Ann. "Earth Hour has always been an event about families and individuals as well," Ann said, "and it's really
about Americans and people all over the world standing up and saying climate change is real and we need to
do something about it now."
     However, Earth Hour's energy-saving influence is limited. But WWF says that Earth Hour's real value is
symbolic (象征的).

Bill is only fifteen years old, but he’s already very rich. Two years ago, Bill began a football website(网站) for young people. “I became interested in computers when I was 8 because my father’s job is with computers. As a little boy, I also loved football and so I decided to make a website, especially for people of my age.”
Bill started the “Football OK!” website two years ago, and now more than 20,000 people visit it every day.
Bill is a schoolboy and a businessman as well. He usually gets up at six o’clock and looks at his e-mails. Then he goes to school from nine to four. In the evenings, he always works for about four hours on his website.
Bill’s next plan is a new website:“At the moment I am thinking about a new website on American football, maybe for next year.”
And is Bill the same person that he was three years ago? “No, I am very different now. I have met a lot of interesting people on the website and I have traveled all over the world.” Bill doesn’t know about the future. “Maybe I will sell the websites. I really don’t know. I’ll just wait and see.”

World Book Day falls on April 23 every year. It was set up by the UNESCO(联合国教科文组织) in 1995 to encourage people, especially teenagers, to discover the pleasure of reading. It is also the day to honor great writer, for example, William Shakespeare, born or dead on that day.

Many countries celebrate World Book Day. Take UK as an example. On that day, millions of school children can buy books of special price, a much lower price than usual, in any bookstore. It has been done every year since 1998. World Book Day is also celebrated in China. Premier Wen Jiabao does lots of reading every day. Wen has called on people to do more reading. He suggested that young people should spend more time reading. “Book cannot change the world, but people can change the world by changing themselves through reading,” he said.

Why do people like reading? One big advantage is that reading helps us become more knowledgeable and more intelligent. Also, reading helps us to follow the latest developments of science and technology. Besides, reading gives us information about other cultures and places of the world. When we read, we may find many things that are unfamiliar to us. We would have to use our brain to think about them or do more reading to find out the answers. The more we read, the more we know. What’s more, reading is also one of the most important ways to learn a foreign language like English.

“Reading makes a full man”. Books, magazines, newspapers and other kinds of materials can help us to know more about the outside world and perfect us. So it is necessary for us to spend time on reading every day.

1.When is World Book Day?

2.In UK, what can school children do on World Book Day?

3.What did Premier Wen Jiabao suggest young people do?

4.How many advantages of reading are mentioned in the passage?
