Since the first Earth Day in 1970, Americans have gotten a lot “greener” toward the environment. “We didn’t know at that time that there even was an environment, especially we didn’t know that there was a problem with it,” says Bruce Anderson, president of Earth Day USA.

But what began as nothing important in public affairs (公共事件) has grown into a social movement. Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots (草根) Americans are taking part in the movement. “The understanding has increased many, many times,” says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first Earth Day.

According to US government reports, emissions from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 million tons. The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced (减少) from 40 to 9. Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with, the world is a safer and healthier place. A kind of “green thinking” has become part of practices.

Great improvement has been achieved. In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs; today in 1995 there are about 6,600. Advanced lights, motors, and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.

Twenty-five years ago, there were hardly any education programs for environment. Today, it’s hard to find a public school, university, or law school that does not have such a kind of program. “Until we do that, nothing else will change!” says Bruce Anderson.

1.According to Anderson, before 1970. Americans had little idea about ________.

A.the social movement B.recycling techniques

C.environmental problems D.the importance of Earth Day

2.Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?

A.The business men. B.Common people.

C.Government officials. D.University professors.

3.What have Americans achieved in environmental protection?

A.They have cut car emissions to the lowest.

B.They have solved their environmental problems.

C.They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.

D.They have reduced pollution by taking active actions.

4.What does the underlined word “emissions” mean in the passage?

A.热量 B.尾气 C.燃油 D.污染

5.What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph?

A.Education. B.Planning. C.Green living. D.Green thinking.

The first Earth Day was in 1970. People were beginning to worry about what we were doing to our environment. So they set up Earth Day to tell everyone about their worries.

In 2007 organizers in over 150 countries planned over 4,000 big events. But Earth Day is not just about marches(游行) and big events. In the week around Earth Day (22 April) there were many thousands of smaller, local events. These events dealt with environmental problems in the neighborhood.

The world Wide Fund for Nature made a list of 5 things that each person could do to save the environment.

Don’t leave the tap(水龙头) running.

Turn off lights when you leave a room.

Turn off your computer every night.

NEW word in 2020

Coronavirus is this year’s Children’s Word of the Year. This is very interesting given that the 500 Words competition closed on 27 February 2020, the day before the first case was documented in the UK. This shows the influence of important events around the world on children’s creativity.

Highlights

The word coronavirus appeared for the first time in the 500 Words stories in 2020. It is not a word that has been used before.

The word has been used 459 times in the stories in 2020, with 287 of them as coronavirus, 168 as corona virus, and 4 as corona-virus.

It is amazing that many of the themes young writers explored in fiction soon became a reality with the world in lockdown.

Examples

The nurses came running over. I felt a pain in my neck, I started to gasp for air. My body started shaking I couldn’t control myself. My eyes rolled to the back of my head, a mask covered my mouth, my temperature raised and I have the coronavirus.

(The Ex, girl 13)

A few years later he finally landed on earth ... but when he landed he found out a deadly virus had struck earth, the corona virus ...

(Bob’s Trip Around the Universe, boy 10)
