Every year on April 22, Earth Day marks the anniversary of the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970.It gives a voice to emerging public consciousness about the state of our planet.The founder is Gaylord Nelson.
What moved Gaylord Nelson to action was the 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill(溢出) in Southern California, the largest oil spill in the United States at that time.The spill proved to be an environmental nightmare as it had a strong impact on marine life, killing an estimated 3,500 seabirds, as well as marine animals such as dolphins, elephant seals and sea lions.Inspired by the student antiwar movement at that period of time, Nelson found it was the right time to channel the energy of the students towards a fight for environmental protection.He decided that it was time to educate the Americans on the need to protect the environment.Thus, Earth Day was born in 1970, and public environmental consciousness took centre stage.
On 22nd April 1970, millions of Americans took to the streets to demonstrate for a healthy, sustainable environment and thousands of students marched in protest at the terrible situation of the environment.Businesses were forced to follow environmental standards if they wanted to continue their operations.The year 1990 saw Earth Day reach out to many more countries around the world.It helped pave the way for the 1992 United Nations Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, bringing together many nations, for a joint effort towards protecting the environment.In 2009, the United Nations decided to officially set April 22 as Earth Day.For his role as the founder of Earth Day, Gaylord Nelson was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom(1995), the highest honour given to civilians in the United States.We honour the man, as the fight for a cleaner environment continues.

I faced a tight budget when I was nine.On November 1st, I used up most of the money I saved.With a small amount of pocket money left before Christmas, I didn't have enough to buy presents for the family.
I was seriously considering going to my dad and asking for an advance on the next year's pocket money, so I could at least buy gifts for my family members.But then, one evening, I was sitting in my room reading advertisements in the back of a magazine.Several greeting card companies were telling us how people could make money by selling their cards and stationery (文具)．Normally, I would have passed right over the ads, but this time my situation was so difficult that I felt I had nothing to lose.
The ad that attracted me most was one by a well-known greeting card company in my hometown, whose products were of high quality.With my parents' help, I contacted the company.Although they preferred adults or older kids to advertise their products, after my sincere request, they agreed to give me, a nine-year-old boy, a chance.
My sales materials arrived within the week.I had expected something small and neat, but the package looked like a dinosaur's shoebox；it was close to three feet long and nearly a foot wide, full of stuff.There was a thick binder (活页夹) containing a complete selection of the cards and some writing paper, which I would be selling for around $3 per box.
Although my parents supported my attempt to make money by myself, they had little confidence in my success；after all, instead of an outgoing kid, I was somewhat shy.However, I was determined to have a try at challenging myself.
注意：1.续写词数应为 150左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应的位置作答。
Wasting no time, I set off and knocked on doors in my neighborhood.
Eventually, I earned over $20, a large sum of money for a 9-year-old kid in 1954.
【写作提示】
故事人物 作者、父母、邻居
故事梗概 圣诞节前作者没有足够的钱给家人买礼物，本打算向父亲请求帮助，但是突然看到杂志上贺卡公司的广告，让作者萌生出售卡片和文具挣钱的想法。在父母的帮助下，作者争取到了一个代理的机会。虽然父母对此不抱希望，但是作者决心挑战自己！
续写要点 第一段：1.作者是如何推销的？ 2.邻居们的反应如何？ 3.过程中作者的心态发生了什么转变？第二段：1.作者是否如愿挣到了钱？2．这件事带给作者什么样的感悟？
参考范文：
Wasting no time, I set off and knocked on doors in my neighborhood.Gathering my courage, I introduced myself as the young representative of the well-known greeting card company.The initial responses were mixed—some were hesitant, while others were fascinated by the idea of a child engaged in such a venture.As I showcased the high-quality cards and shared the story behind each design, the doubt began to fade away, replaced by genuine interest.Surprisingly, my shy character transformed into enthusiasm, and I found myself engaging in conversations that extended beyond the purpose of sales.
Eventually, I earned over $20, a large sum of money for a 9-year-old kid in 1954.The community's response exceeded my expectations, and the support I received went beyond mere financial transactions.Neighbors were not just buying cards；they were encouraging a young entrepreneur.This unexpected journey into sales not only alleviated my financial concerns for Christmas but also instilled a sense of accomplishment and self-confidence.It broadened my horizons and laid the foundation for a new-found belief in the possibilities that determination and courage could unfold, regardless of age.

The ad that attracted me most was one by a well-known greeting card company in my hometown, whose products were of high quality.With my parents' help, I contacted the company.Although they preferred adults or older kids to advertise their products, after my sincere request, they agreed to give me, a nine-year-old boy, a chance.
My sales materials arrived within the week.I had expected something small and neat, but the package looked like a dinosaur's shoebox；it was close to three feet long and nearly a foot wide, full of stuff.There was a thick binder (活页夹) containing a complete selection of the cards and some writing paper, which I would be selling for around $3 per box.
Although my parents supported my attempt to make money by myself, they had little confidence in my success；after all, instead of an outgoing kid, I was somewhat shy.However, I was determined to have a try at challenging myself.
