The Earth Day comes from the idea of a former US politician Gaylord Nelson. He was worried about the world pollution, and the health of plants and animals. In 1969, he decided that the world should have a special day to teach people about how to make environment better. His idea became popular and on 22 April 1970 the first Earth Day was celebrated.

waste.
Experimental work is being done to derive synthetic fuels from coal, oil shale and coal tars.
But to date, that process has proven expensive. Other experiments are underway to
harness - power with giant windmills. Geothermal power, heat from the earth, is also being
tested.
Some experts expect utility companies to revive hydroelectric power derived from streams
and rivers. Fifty years ago hydroelectric power provided one third of the electricity used in
the United States, but today it supplies only four percent. The oceans are another potential
source of energy. Scientists are studying ways to convert the energy of ocean currents,
tides, and waves to electricity. Experiments are also underway to make use of the
temperature differences in ocean water to produce energy.

You cook your meals and it is energy that gives you heat to boil rice.
The problem is that the demand for energy is rising and that the price of energy is getting higher and higher. The supply of energy on earth is limited. It cannot provide us all forever. The shortage of energy in the future is inevitable. Therefor, saving energy is a must if we want to contine to live in a cafe and sound world.

III, Read the passage carefully then answer the questions below it:
EARTHQUAKES
One of the worst things can happen on our earth is an earthquake. When earthquakes happen near large cities, man people may be killed and many buildings are knocked down. Fires may start and do more damage than the quake itself.
Earthquakes come from a shaking of the rocks under the surface of the earth. Forces within the push against the rocks until they break. Sometimes, the earth above the break will split open.
We cannot tell when an earthquake is coming. But we do know the places on the earth where they happen most often. Much damage is stopped by building stronger buildings in these places.
As many as a million earthquakes may happen in a year. But most of them do no damage, for they happen under the sea.
❔Questions:
1. Where do earthquakes come from?
2. How can we minimize the damage done by earthquakes?
3. How many earthquakes may happen a year?
4. What makes the rocks break?
5. Why are most earthquakes harmless?
Unlike buried treasure and some minerals, fossils are usually not valuable in themselves. However, most of the fossils you find will be of greatest value to you. They will help you learn much about the geologic history of the earth and its inhabitants.
If it were not for fossils, we would have no way of knowing about the animals that once roamed the earth or that once crawled on the bottom of the ancient seas. In fact, we would not even know for sure that there were once seas in some regions i...

Unlike buried treasure and some minerals, fossils are usually not valuable in themselves. However, most of the fossils you find will be of greatest value to you. They will help you learn much about the geologic history of the earth and its inhabitants.
If it were not for fossils, we would have no way of knowing about the animals that once roamed the earth or that once crawled on the bottom of the ancient seas. In fact, we would not even know for sure that there were once seas in some regions if it were not for the many fossils of sea animals that we find there.
You can look at some fossils and see for yourself the shape of the ancient animals. Even if you collect only bits of one kind of fossil, you may still be able to tell what it looked like. Making sense out of fossil bits is a little like working a jigsaw puzzle. Sometimes you will lose pieces, but you can still recognize the picture and even use your imagination to fill in missing details. The habits of ancient sea animals are not so easy to determine. Therefore, scientists study the structure and the habits of similar living animals to learn what the ancient ones must have been like. There are some things, however, that neither the study of fossils nor the study of living animals can tell us. For example, no one knows what colour most ancient sea animals were. Also, since the soft parts disappeared soon after death, many details of their internal structure are unknown. So the pictures of ancient sea creatures (as well as dinosaurs!) are what scientists think the animals looked like. Reconstructing the life of an ancient sea animal on the basis of fossil evidence and the characteristics of similar living animals is a little like relying on circumstantial evidence in court.

A. have very tough hides

B. predict the future
C. explain the changes of the seasons
D. save some species of animals from extinction
3. Many details of ancient animals are lacking because __________.
A. many species have not been found
B. volcanic disasters have permanently buried many fossils
C.many fossils lie in deep water and cannot be recovered
D. soon after death the soft parts of the body decay
49. To “determine" in the passage is closest in meaning to __________.
A. come across
B. study
C. find out
D. imitate
50. This passage implies that a scientist's evaluation of the past is based on __________.
A. laboratory experiments with live animals
B. a few facts mixed with a lot of opinions
C. predictions made in the past and present
D. field studies of our society
