Earth Hour is a worldwide movement organized by the WWF(世界自然基金会).To celebrate its 10th anniversary(周年纪念), the Earth Hour party turned off all lights from 8:30 p.m.to 9:30 p.m.on Saturday, March 25,2017.This small action encourages us to protect our only planet.
Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia where 2.2 million people turned off their lights for an hour to take a stand against climate change.Only a year later, Earth Hour became a global movement.
While turning off lights can save some energy, it is not the only motive of Earth Hour.We should pay more attention to our growing environmental problems.
In 2017, the WWF picked out some “superheroes” to protect the planet to the next level.Among them was Alan Bessen, who successfully helped to set up a “National Day of Forest Planting” in his home country of Kazakhstan.Eddy, a 21 year old, who has been observing (观察)Earth Hour since 2010, organized thousands of locals to take action on climate change by making more helpful decisions.These include small actions like turning off unnecessary lights, using recyclable bags, or even choosing wood pencils over plastic ones.
Earth Hour is held every year all over the world.The WWF suggests a candlelight dinner or a picnic under the stars with your family.If that doesn’t interest you, then how about a late night hike or bike ride You can even go camping and turn the event into an Earth “Night”.Do you really want to help fight climate change Please go to www.earthhour.org for more ideas.

IV.回答问题。(建议用时:6分钟)
The Sunday Mail magazine interviewed some parents about whether children should do chores(杂活)at home.Different people have different opinions.
Ms. Miller thinks that kids these days already have enough stress from school.They do not have time to study and do housework, either.Housework is a waste of their time.They should spend their time on schoolwork in order to get good grades and get into a good university.When kids get older, they will have to do housework.So there is no need for them to do it now.She thinks that doing chores is not so difficult.
However, Mr.Smith disagrees with her.He thinks it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework.It’s not enough to just get good grades at school.Children these days depend on their parents too much.Doing chores helps to develop children’s independence(独立)and teaches them how to look after themselves.It also helps them understand the idea of fairness.Everyone should do their part in keeping the house clean and tidy.The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future.
