Question

【题目】 Earth Day is an event most commonly celebrated on the 22nd of April each year. It is a day on which people around the world take part in activities aiming at raising public attention about our mother planet and how to protect it.

【1】

Below, we have listed 4 things you can do to make this a better place, a better world for the future generations.

▲ Leave your cars at home

Cars, being the greatest source of air pollution, can be left at home this weekend. Travelling by public transport is the better choice.

【2】

▲ Be a little dirty

【3】

A daily shower isn’t a matter of health; it’s a matter of comfort. Showering every day can wash away the natural oils that our skin and hair need.

▲ Volunteer yourself

This is one of the best things you can do. Why? Because it will do you good too. Join other like-minded persons in a common task.

【4】

▲ Green-up your home

【5】

Save energy by turning off all power whenever they are not in use. Besides, take out all the plugs(插头) from plug points even after turning them off.

Remember that every step counts. The future of our planet is in your hands!

根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。

A.If you have the time, there are lots of opportunities out there to offer help, for example, planting trees, cleaning a park or simply coming up with ways you can protect mother Earth.

B.No, we don’t mean it ‘that’ way. We simply mean to say, don't take a bath. Yes, saving water is super important. A day or two without a bath won’t harm you, but it will certainly do a lot of good for our planet.

C.You can celebrate Earth Day by showing your attention of environmental problems and by letting others know what they can do to make a difference. Even small actions can have great influence!

D.Turn off your room’s lights when you leave. However, this is not something you should do just for a day or for only an hour on Earth Day.
