April 22nd every year marks the start of Earth Day, a day that is celebrated annually to raise awareness about our home planet and how we can save it from being damaged.
①Green-up your home
This is one of the most common things that people do whenever Earth Day rolls around, that is, switch off(关闭) their lights. Conserve(节约) energy by switching off all power or electricity points whenever they are not in use. In addition, take out all the plugs from plug points even after switching them off.

Cars, being the greatest source of air pollution, can be left at home this weekend. Other greener choices are carpooling, riding a bike or you can also walk if you want a healthier choice and if your workplace is not that far away from your home.
③Be a little dirty
No, we don't mean it 'that way'. We simply mean to say, don't take a bath. Yes, conservation of water is super essential. 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.

My parents moved from Mexico to South Texas in the early 90s with the hope for a brighter future for their family of nine---my parents, four boys and three girls. My parents have always wanted the best for us and they have done everything possible to encourage us to get a university degree. Never did they think that by pushing us that direction, it also meant encouraging us to move away and be distant from each other.
Initially(起初), getting accustomed to the American culture and lifestyle was very difficult for my parents. They come from a culture where kids grow up together, go to school together and most of the time live in the same neighborhood. From our point, American family values were a bit different. Typically in the US, when you turn 18, you are expected to graduate from high school, move out, find a university, possibly find a partner, get married and start a life together. Most of these decisions take you away from home; usually you have to follow opportunity and wherever that will take you.
This is my family's current situation. I graduated from Bethel College in Indiana in 2010, and in order to fulfill my financial responsibilities of paying off student loans, I moved to Washington State for my job with Experience Mission. Ideally my parents wanted me to come home to South Texas, but that wasn't where my opportunity took me.
Currently, my sister Jennifer lives in Waco, Texas, about eight hours from my parents. My two younger brothers also decided to go to college at Bethel and are away from my parents. More than likely, when they graduate, they will probably not move back home to South Texas.
My parent never imagined that their dream for a better future would separate our family this way.Facebook has played a crucial(决定性的) role in the way we communicate while living in different places. Since we all use Facebook, we have found a place to connect and feel as if we were there together with each other.
(1)We can infer from the first paragraph that ________.
A.the writer's family are immigrants to America
B.the writer' family came to America for a better future
C.the writer' parents' didn't want their children to get a university degree
D.the writer' parents pushed their children away from each other
(2)The writer's parents found it hard to be used to American life because ________.
A.they were strangers in America
B.they suffered from a culture shock
C.the local people disl iked their family
D.different countries have different lives
(3)The writer didn't return to work in South Texas after graduation because ________.
A.he owed a lot of money while studying at college
B.he didn't graduate from university
C.he found his opportunity in Washington State
D.his father couldn't find him a job in South Texas
(4)What will probably be talked about in the paragraph after the last?
A.The writer's parents' life in Texas.
B.How the parents learn to use Facebook.
C.What the writer's brothers' and sisters' lives are like.
D.How the writer's family communicate through Facebook.

Fun doesn't have to be expensive
Everyone likes to have fun, but not everyone has much money to spend. Here are some free or cheap ways to enjoy yourself.
Go outside
Going outside in good weather can be a lot of fun if you don't want to stay at home. If you live in a city, you can go window-shopping. Or you can explore an old part of town and admire the buildings.
Try a hobby
While you're out, take pictures of things you find. Planning and taking pictures can make you aware of the beauty all around you. Photographic equipment can be expensive, but it doesn't have to be. You probably already own a camera or a cell phone that can take pictures. Other creative hobbies can also be done with basic materials.
Find an event
Libraries often hold free public events. And while you're there, borrow a book or movie for free. Museums and universities also hold free events.
If you can't find a free event, you can volunteer at an event that requires tickets. People who organize concerts and plays need help. Sometimes they reward volunteers with free tickets.
Meet a friend
Relationships are often the best things in life. For example, invite a friend for a walk, an event or a time working on your hobby. Hosting doesn't have to be difficult. If your friend comes in the afternoon, you don't have to serve a meal. You can sit and talk, play board games or card games or watch a movie together.
A. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
B. Stop by one to find out what's going on.
C. Hike or bicycle with a friend on a nearby path or in a park.
D. Whatever you do, find a friend to share it with.
E. It's a good idea to stay at home to watch a movie.
F. You can set up or take down chairs or greet visitors.
G. Drawing and writing require nothing more than a pencil and paper.

【题目】阅读理解
Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants.
Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet ripe or finished. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. In the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns(角) had not yet developed. A century later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle. By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.
Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression comes from early nineteen hundreds. A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.
The Green Revolution is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. The new plants produced much larger crops. The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs.
Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling, jealousy(嫉妒). The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space. It is an expression used about four hundred years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play “Othello”. It describes the unpleasant feeling a person has when someone has something he wants. A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else. Or, that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay rise and he does not.
(1)A greenhorn now refers to ____.
A.a cow without horns
B.a new solider
C.a young horse
D.a person who is new in a job
(2)A person who has a green thumb is a person ____.
A.whose garden is greener than others'
B.whose thumbs are of green color
C.who is good at growing plants
D.who is younger than his neighbors
(3)The author is actually talking about ____.
A.language
B.colors
C.politics
D.agriculture
(4)Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A.In about the 16th century, a greenhorn meant an experienced soldier.
B.The Green Revolution may have some connection with green thumbs.
C.The green-eyed monster was probably created by William Shakespeare.
D.The green-eyed monster can be used to describe a person who is jealous.

【题目】In agrarian(农业的), pre-industrial Europe, youd want to wake up early, start working with the sunrise, have a break to have the largest meal, and then youd go back to work,says Ken Albala, a professor of history at the University of the Pacific. Later, at 5 or 6, youd have a smaller supper.

This comfortable cycle, in which the rhythms of the day helped shape the rhythms of the meals, gave rise to the custom of the large midday meal, eaten with the extended family. Meals are the foundation of the family,says Carole Couniban, a professor at Millersville University in Pennsylvania, so there was a very important interconnection between eating together and strengthening family ties.”

Since industrialization, maintaining such a slow cultural metabolism has been much harder, with the long midday meal shrinking to whatever could be stuffed into a lunch bucket or bought at a food stand. Certainly, there were benefits. Modern techniques for producing and shipping food led to greater variety and quantity, including a tremendous increase in the amount of animal protein and dairy products available, making us more energetic than our ancestors.

Yet plenty has been lost too, even in cultures that still live to eat. Take Italy. Its no secret that the Mediterranean diet is healthy, but it was also a joy to prepare and eat. Italians, says Counihan, traditionally began the day with a small meal. The big meal came at around 1 p.m. In between the midday meal and a late, smaller dinner came a small snack. Today, when time zones have less and less meaning, there is little tolerance for offices closing for lunch, and worsening traffic in cities means workers cant make it home and back fast enough anyway. So the formerly small supper after sundown becomes the big meal of the day, the only one at which the family has a chance to get together. The evening meal carries the full burden that used to be spread over two meals,” says Counihan.

A. It was helpful to maintaining a nations tradition.

B. It brought family members closer to each other.

C. It was characteristic of the agrarian culture.

D. It enabled families to save a lot of money.

2What does cultural metabolism”(Line 1, Para. 3) refer to

A. Evolutionary adaptation. B. Changes in lifestyle.

C. Social progress. D. Pace of life.

3What does the author think of the food people eat today?

A. Its quality is usually guaranteed.

B. It is varied, abundant and nutritious.

C. It is more costly than what our ancestors ate.

D. Its production depends too much on technology.

4What does the author say about Italians of the old days?

A. They enjoyed cooking as well as eating.

B. They ate a big dinner late in the evening.

C. They ate three meals regularly every day.

D. They were expert at cooking meals.
