Earth Day is an event most commonly celebrated on the 22nd of April each year. It is a day on which people around the world take part in activities aiming at raising public attention about our mother planet and how to protect it.

1.　　

Below, we have listed 4 things you can do to make this a better place, a better world for the future generations.

Many rules govern (约束) drivers on American streets and highways. The most common one is the speed limit(速度限制). The speed limit regulates how fast a car may go. On streets in the cities, the speed limit is usually 25 or 35 miles an hour. On the highway between cities, the speed limit is usually 55 miles an hour.

When people drive faster than the speed limit, a policeman may stop them. The policeman gives them pieces of paper, which are called traffic tickets.

During the rush hour, (The rush hour is when people are going to work or going home from work.) there are many cars in the streets, and traffic moves very slowly.
