April 22nd every year marks the start of Earth Day, a day that is celebrated every year to raise awareness(意识)about our home planet and how we can save it from being damaged. 1.
1. Green up your home
This is one of the most common things that people do whenever Earth Day rolls around, that is , switch off their lights. 2.Conserve (节约)energy by switching off all power of electricity points whenever they are not on use. In addition, take out all the plugs(插头) from plug points even after switching them off.
2. 3.
Cars, being the greatest source of air pollution, can be left at home this weekend. 4.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.
3. Be a little dirty
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. A daily shower isn’t a matter of health; it’s a matter of comfort. 5.
The future of our planet is in your hands!
A. Traveling by public transport is a better choice.
B. Showering every day can wash away the natural oils that our skin and hair need.
C. Below, we have made a list of things you can do to celebrate Earth Day.
D. Do something every day that will improve your surroundings to make the planet a better place to live.
E. Leave your cars at home.
F. However, this is not something you should do just for a day or for only an hour.
G. Started in the year 1970, Earth Day is now celebrated in more than 190 countries each year.
Ever since Donald Trump was elected the next president of the US, the entire Trump family has been put under a microscope(显微镜).
In China, the spotlight has been mainly focused on Trump and his daughter Ivanka. She is described on WeChat as an extremely influential role model with stunning beauty, a successful career, and a happy family.
She leads a dream life that a million girls would kill for. Yes, she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. But she got where she is by herself.
There’s always going to be articles that say people born into wealthy families are better looking and have a better family background than you, but these people do work harder than you.
Are you a loser if you were raised in an ordinary family? Should you feel guilty that you sleep eight hours a day because Ivanka sleeps five? If you just want to keep a stable（稳定的） nine-to-five job, does it mean you are not ambitious? How about if you don’t work out or eat healthy, does that mean you will not find your Mr. or Miss Right?
There is a tendency in media nowadays to encourage elitism(精英主义).They are trying to brainwash young people into thinking that they should invest（投资）a large amount of time and money in bodybuilding and appearance. They encourage lifestyle makeovers: wine tasting classes and expensive trips overseas. They make you believe that if you do as they say, you can improve the quality of your life and join the elites (社会精英).
But what’s the downside of being ordinary? Do you really need to go to the gym five days a week? Do you need to take hundreds of selfies（自拍） and Photoshop the selected ones to post on WeChat? Do you really need to break your neck and sacrifice to earn your first pot of gold only to worry constantly about how to enter high society later?
Don’t let the idea of elitism get to you. Everybody has a right to the life they want. Human beings should not be judged as a success or failure based on whether they are a part of the elite or not. As long as you lead a happy and comfortable life, why bother to chase after other people’s shadows? Choose your own life path and go for it.
1.Why does Ivanka become a hit online in the writer’s opinion?
A. She lives such a dream life that a million girls would like to kill her.
B. She gets what she has through personal efforts despite rich origin.
C. She has a better family background than ordinary people.
D. She is a role model frequently seen among ordinary people.
2.Which of the following are considered as a life belonging to the elites?
①Polish and post carefully- selected selfies on WeChat.
②Break your neck to earn your first pot of gold.
③Spare no effort to improve physical appearance.
④Sign up for wine tasting classes and oversea trips.
A. ③④
B. ②④
C. ②③
D. ①④
3.It can be inferred from the text that ____________.
A. Ivanka sleeping five hours a day makes the majority of people guilty.
B. Keeping a stable nine-to- five job will be thought of as a loser.
C. Improving the quality of life will help you enter high society.
D. Joining the elites is what more and more people dream of nowadays.
4.Which attitude towards life would the writer probably agree with?
A. Life is like a dogsled team. If you aren’t the lead dog, the scenery never changes.
B. Life is not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.
C. There is only one success — to be able to spend your life in your own way.
D. The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes.
