Passage 2
“When it comes to the Earth,there is no time to waste.” says the Earth Day Network.And that is right.Protecting our environment is very important,and World Earth Day was created in 1970 to ask more people to protect our environment.On April 22,people around the world celebrate Earth Day.
Every year there is a special topic,and this year it is “Trees for the Earth”,so Earth Day this year will be all about planting trees.They are planning to plant 7.8 billion trees within the next five years.
That's a big goal,and you might wonder why trees are so important.Because they can take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and protect the air quality(质量).CO2 is a chemical in our atmosphere,but humans make too much of it.Each person makes about 2.3 tons a year,which is bad for the environment.
Well guess what! Planting new trees is important because people cut down a huge number of trees.Last year,there were 3 trillion trees in the world,about 139 billion in China.But according to China Daily,the world's total number has been almost cut in half since human civilization(文明) began.That's because 15 billion trees are cut down every year.
So we need to plant more to make up for(弥补) the ones we lost.One tree can take in 21.8 kilograms of CO2 per year.And it's_still_one_of_the_cheapest_and_best_ways_to_get_rid_of_CO2.
But don't forget that we can also help the environment by cutting down on how much energy(能源) or water we use every day.Every little thing helps.
1.When do people around the world celebrate World Earth Day?
On_April_22.
2.What is the topic of this year's Earth Day?
The_topic/It_is_“Trees_for_the_Earth”.
3.Why are trees so important to the earth?
Because_they_can_take_in_carbon_dioxide/CO2_and_protect_the_air_quality.
4.How much CO2 can two trees take in each year?
They_can_take_in_43.6_kilograms_of_CO2_per_year.
5.Put the sentence “It's still one of the cheapest and best ways to get rid of CO2.” into Chinese.
它仍然是最便宜、最有效的减少CO2的方法之一。
Passage 3
A little girl lived in a small and poor house on a hill.As she grew up,she often played in the small garden.She was finally able to see a wonderful house over the garden fence.The house was high on the other side of the hill.It had golden windows.It was so beautiful that the little girl dreamed of living there.
When she was old enough to go outside the garden fence,she asked her mother if she could visit her dream house by herself.Her mother agreed.The day was beautiful.The little girl rode her bike and started.At last,she got to the gate of the house with golden windows.
As she got off her bike,she found that all the windows were a little old and dirty.She was very disappointed,and so she turned back.As she looked up,she saw a sight(景象) that amazed her.On the other side of the hill was a small house.Its windows glistened(闪耀) golden as the sun shone on it.She suddenly realized that she had been living in her own golden house.

Passage 4
“I sometimes get up at three or four in the morning to surf the Internet.”
“I often check my email almost forty times a day.”
“I seldom spend less than three hours each time on the net.”
“I spend more time in chat rooms than with my ‘reallife’ friends.”
Do you know any people like these?They are part of a new addiction (瘾) called Internet addiction.According to experts,Internet addicts (迷) spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week.They lose control of the time they spend on the Internet.
For example,one college student was missing for several days.His friends were worried and looked for him everywhere but couldn't find him.They called the police.The police found the student in the computer lab:he was surfing the Internet—for seven days straight.
A study shows that about six to ten percent of Internet users become addicted.The teenagers spend more time on the Internet than with friends and family.That's why some experts mostly worry about young people.
Is “surfing the Internet” a hobby or an addiction for you?You may have a problem if you always do the following:
★You go out with your friends less and less.
★You can't wait to get online again.
★You plan to spend a short time online,but then you spend several hours.
★You do not go to important family events or you do not do school projects because you like to spend hours on the Internet.
What is the situation?Some experts suggest that people set strict limits on their time for Internet use.You have to learn to control it,or the Internet would control you.

At_least_30_to_40_hours.
