Earth Day is celebrated every year on April 22.Take some time to find out about how one
man,who was determined to change the way we treated our planet,didn’t stop until he had made a difference.
In 1963,Senator Gaylord Nelson wasn’t happy with the Earth’s condition.He wanted to clean up the planet,and solve pollution and environmental problems.A senator(参议员)is someone US citizens choose to help make laws,so Gaylord had a lot of power.He went to John F.Kennedy,the President at the time,with his ideas.The President agreed that the planet’s environment was a serious issue,so President Kennedy went around the country on a five-day tour to promote the idea of cleaning up the planet.People began making small changes but it wasn’t enough.
A few years later,Senator Nelson decided to put one day aside every year for the cause of saving the planet.On April 22,1970,the first Earth Day was celebrated.More than 20 million
people took part in Earth Day activities in 1970.Since then,Earth Day has become an international holiday.People all over the world are doing something to make the Earth a cleaner,better place.
A rock band named Dramarama wrote a song about Earth Day in 1993 called What Are We Gonna Do. Encouraging your family to recycle on a regular basis is a good way to help the Earth. 1.What did President Kennedy do to promote the idea of cleaning up the Earth? A.He named Gaylord Nelson senator.

Food festivals around the world
Stilton Cheese Rolling
May Day is a traditional day for celebrations,but the 2,000 English villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who include cheese rolling in their annual plans.Teams of four,dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes,roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course.On the way,they must not kick or throw their cheese,or go into their competitors’ lane(赛道).Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos (disappointingly,but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones).All the competitors are served with beer or port wine,the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese. Fiery Foods Festival—The Hottest Festival on Earth
Every year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque,New Mexico.They come from as far away as Australia,the Caribbean and China,but they all share a common
addiction—food that is not just spicy(辛辣),but hot enough to make your mouth burn,your head spin and your eyes water.Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three days every March.You might like to try a chocolate-covered habanero
pepper—officially the hottest pepper in the world—or any one of the thousands of products that
are on show.But one thing’s for sure—if you don’t like the feeling of a burning tongue,this festival isn’t for you!
La Tomatina—The World’s Biggest Food Fight
On the last Wednesday of every August,the Spanish town of Bunol hosts La Tomatina—the world’s largest food fight.A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week’s events.The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes—official fight-starters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowd.
The battle lasts little more than half an hour,in which time around 50,000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves,runs,or fights back.Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again—and for a much-needed wash! 5.In the Stilton cheese rolling competition,competitors on each team must .
A.wear various formal clothes

It’s time to do something for your father—the man who for many people has been an encouragement and support since birth.
The third Sunday of June is Father’s Day.The holiday honors not only fathers,but also all men who act as father figures,such as stepfathers,uncles and grandfathers.
The idea of Father’s Day came from the love and appreciation of an American lady called Sonore Smart Dodd in 1909.
Dodd wanted a special day to honor her father,William Smart.He raised six children by himself on a countryside farm in Washington after his wife died during the birth of their sixth child.
When Dodd became an adult,she realized the selflessness her father has shown in raising his children as a single parent.
It was her father who did all for his children.In the eyes of his daughter,William Smart was a courageous,selfless and loving man.
Dodd’s father was born in June,so she chose to hold the first Father’s Day celebration in Washington on June 19th,1910.
In 1924,US President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a national Father’s Day.Finally,in 1966,President Lyndon Johnson declared the third Sunday of June as Father’s Day.
So this is a perfect chance to let your father know what he means to you.To show your love and respect,you need not buy an expensive gift.You can send him a home-made card;you can call him every day;even you can give him a sweet smile when he comes back from work.All these little things are easy for us to do,but they can show your care and love to your father. 9.Father’s Day always falls on .
A.the same day every year B.the third Sunday of June C.the last day of June D.June 16th each year 解析细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知答案为B项。 答案B 10.Which of the following was NOT used to describe Dodd’s father?
