         One cool April 22 morning, people started the day as usual. Yet it was not a normal day. What's so
    special about April 22? The answer is simple. It is Earth Day. People all over the world celebrated this
    important day. The idea of having a special day to celebrate Earth began in the 1960s. Life was very
    different then. Few people talked or even thought about the environment. Most people had no idea how
    dirty our air and water were.
         On ApriI22, 1970, twenty million Americans joined the first Earth Day activities. They showed that
    people really did want to do something about the environment. Since then laws have been passed to
    protect the air, water, land, and animals.
         The vehicles such as cars and buses you ride in must pass tests to make sure they don't cause too
    much pollution. Thanks to this law, cars today release ( 排放 ) about half as many bad chemicals as
    cars did back in 1970. As a result, the air we breathe is cleaner than it once was.
    Rivers and lakes are cleaner today than they were in the 1970s. It's a good thing because they needed
    a lot of help. The Cuyahoga River in Ohio was so polluted that rubbish and oil the river even caught fire!
    Today, the river is cleaner. It no longer burns. It's healthy enough for birds, fish, and other animals.
    Now the celebration has spread (  传播 ) to other countries. More than 175 countries take part each
    year.
         In 2007 ,  People in China paid much attention to a big problem.  People were throwing away 27
    million plastic bags a day! People had "Bye-Bye Throwaway Culture Week." They wanted everyone to
    see how polluted it was to throw away so many plastic bags. In 2008, China passed new laws against
    them.
         Every April22, millions get together to clean and protect Earth. They also celebrate how far we have
    come. Our job is to put this knowledge to work. You can help keep our planet healthy too!

         On a very hot day, it is hard to know what to do to feel good. If you run around, you may feel sick in
    your stomach. However, if you just sit quietly and do nothing, you may feel bored. Are there things you
    can do to feel good and have fun when you're hot?
         Perhaps playing in water is a good choice to make you cool down. Taking a cool bath or shower, or
    even washing toys in a pan of cool water can also make you feel good on a hot day. Besides, you can read
    stories or paint in front of a fan. You don't need to move your body very much. These are just some of the
    cool things to do on a hot day.
         In addition, it's important for you to drink water. On hot days, you can lose about 16 glasses of water
    in one day. If you feel thirsty, you are already short of water. So don't wait for thirst before you start to
    drink. You should try to drink as much water as you lose every day. Mixing a little fruit juice into your
    water is a fun way to help you drink plenty of water.
         The food you eat also makes a difference in how you feel in the heat. Cold foods such as ice cream and
    drinks with some ice can cool down your bodies. Fruits and vegetables are also helpful to stay cool in hot
    weather. So plan a healthy menu for a hot day---one that doesn't need any cooking.
    1. Is it easy to know what to do to feel good on a hot day?
        _________________________________________________ 
    2. Is playing in water a good choice or a bad one? 
        _________________________________________________ 
    3. How much water do we lose one day in hot weather? 
        _________________________________________________ 
    4. What is a healthy menu for a hot day?
        _________________________________________________ 
    5. What is the writer's purpose of writing this passage?
