Going Green
Green is no longer just a color. It is a new way of thinking about the world and a way of living your life. It’s catching on all over the world. More and more people decide to “go green” because they know that we only have one planet to live on. We won’t be able to live on it much longer if we keep wasting energy, and destroying(破坏) our home with air, land, and water pollution.
“Green Living” means:
Understanding that your choices affect(影响) not just you, but everybody everywhere.
Understanding that your choices affect not just today, but the future.
Understanding that when we talk about “saving the planet” or “saving the environment,” we are actually talking about saving ourselves!
You may be thinking: “Hey, I’m just one person, on a planet with billions. I can’t really make a difference.” Well, have you ever seen a group of people do “the wave(波浪)”? It always starts off with one or two people, jumping up and down like crazy. Soon thousands of people are joining in. “Going green” is just like that. It starts with small, simple actions. It can soon build into a wave that will change the whole planet and lead us all to healthier, happier lives.
Many students have already shared with us their efforts to help the environment:
Gabrielle, 12, writes, “I have helped my community plant a garden and I ride my bike or skateboard to school.”
Kaitlyn, 10, says, “Lots of paper towels are thrown away, so I use a reusable cloth towel to dry my hands instead.”
“I always recycle(重复利用)” says Natalie, 13. “You can call me a recycler! I always look at the bottom of things. I want to see whether they have the little sign that tells you it can be recycled. So I almost recycle everything!”
Now it’s your turn to think about how you can “go green”. Make important choices and take actions to improve the environment right around you and the health of the whole world.
1.What does the expression “catch on” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A．Go worse.
B．Come to an end.
C．Get help.
D．Become popular.
2.From the passage we can learn that ______.
A．our choices can’t affect the future
B．one person can’t make a difference
C．our planet is destroyed by pollution
D．going green starts with small actions
3.The writer may agree that ______.
A．going green is hard for students
B．going green means changing others
C．going green is actually a choice
D．going green remains far away from us

阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
Where can you get beauty, knowledge and insight(深刻的见解) all in one? The answer is probably a museum．
There is a long list of benefits someone can get from going to a museum． However, the best part of museum is they encourage people to become lifelong learners．
Socrates once said, “Wisdom begins in wonder．” Each time you visit a museum, it could spark(激起) an interest in a field you might never have heard before． Every time we go through museum exhibits, we see something we didn’t know anything about． It encourages us to go home and look up more information．
To help students better understand what they have learned in schools, many schools use museums as a tool to add to their curriculum(课程)． For example, you may have learned about static(静电) in physics classes． But in a science museum, you can have a more hands-on experience of how amazing static can be． When you touch a big ball full of static electricity, all your hair stands up straight like an angry lion!
In the US, there is the New York Museum Education Act． It says that New York’s museums and schools should become partners to help students prepare for the 21st century． In China, the government asks more schools to organise more museum trips． Earlier this year, the popular travel website Trip Adviser asked its users to rank(评级)theirs favourite museums． They picked the top 25 museums in the world． The first three are: The Metropolitan Museum of Art,New York, US． Musee d’Orsay, Paris, France and the Art Institute of Chicago, US． The Museum of Qin Terracotta Warrior and Horses in Xi’an, Shanxi is the only Chinese museum on the list, which was ranked 23rd．
So come to the museums and there are lots of things to see．
1.Can you get beauty, knowledge and insight in a museum?
2.What’s the best part of museum?
3.Why do many schools use museums as a tool to add to their curriculum?
4.In China, what does the government ask more schools to do?
5.What is the passage mainly about?
