A篇
About 130 years ago, Thomas Edison of the US invented the light bulb. Edison's bulb has turned night into day ever since. But today, many want to turn the light off.
The European Union （欧盟） recently decided that by 2009, people should stop using the Edison-style light bulb. Instead, they should use Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) (节能 灯). “CFLs save energy and last longer. They can save money in the long run.” said a British official. CFLs use 67% less electricity than the older bulbs. They last up to 10 times longer. Scientists say that if everyone used CFLs， electricity use would be cut by 18%. There would also be much smaller amounts of greenhouse gases given off.
But it's difficult to make people change their lighting habits. First, the CFLs are more expensive. They cost eight times the price of the older bulbs. Many people don't like the CFL bulb. They find it too bright. You cannot change the light of a CFL, either.
CFLs have been around for several years. However, the older lights still make up about two-thirds of total light bulb sales.
True or False. (5分)

( ) 3. Using CFLs helps protect the environment.
( ) 4. If you get an older bulb for 1 Euro(欧元), the CFL bulb will cost you 8 Euros.
( ) 5. CFLs have been widely used instead of the older bulbs for several years.

Every year thousands of young people in England finish school and then take a year off before they start work or go to university. Some young people go to other countries and work as volunteers. Volunteers give their time to help people. For example, they work in schools or hospitals, or they do something helpful for the environment.
Pauline Jones, 18, lives in Cardiff, Wales. Next year she wants to go to university to study Chinese, but now she's living in Belize. Pauline says, “I'm working with other people here to save the coral reefs（珊瑚礁） in the sea near Belize. The reefs here are beautiful, but if the sea water is very polluted, the coral will die. I'm helping to do research on the coral and the fish that live around the reefs. All over the world, coral reefs are dying. We need to do something about solving the problem before it's too late.”
“I'm staying with a family here and I help do some housework. I don't get any money, but that's OK. I love my work here, and I'm learning a lot about the people of Belize—and myself! When I finish my work, I want to stay here for another three months. I want to travel around Belize and Central America.”

While you are much safer inside than out, lightning can strike you even at home. Here's how to protect you indoors:
1. Stay away from windows.
Get out of the shower or bath. Don't touch things such as fireplaces and metal pipes.
Cherry, was struck by lightning last year while washing her clothes. Lightning entered a window next to the washing machine, struck her right hand, travelled through her body and finally out of her left arm. “It was as though I was holding a bolt (电光 ) in my hands,” remembers Cherry, who was thrown across the room.
2. Stay off the telephone.
It isn't a story—many people have been hurt through the telephone lines. It was raining outside while Peter Anderson was on the phone at his house in Florida, “Bang!A bolt hit the building,” he says. “I felt the hair on my arms stand on end, and a lightning hit me through telephone.
3. Unplug (拔去……插头 ) televisions, computers, etc.
Don't just turn off electrical appliances. If the house is struck, they could be damaged if you keep them plugged in.

Save energy
As we know, energy is very important to man. We can't live without energy. The faster the development becomes, the less energy there is. But some people don't care about it. They waste a lot of water in their daily life. They leave the lights on when they leave the rooms. They always drive their private cars even if their destinations are within a stone's throw. Something must be done to save energy. We should repair the dripping taps. We can use solar power or wind to make electricity. There are many other ways. Let's take action to save energy.
