On this evening, people go dark——that is, turn off lights in their homes, schools and businesses all at the same time for one hour.Earth Hour started in Australia in 2007, when 2.2 million people in Sydney turned off all unnecessary lights for an hour. Since then it has grown into an international event, and many countries around the world have taken part. Famous buildings that have gone dark for Earth Hour include Buckingham Palace in London, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Forbidden City in Beijing and New York’s Empire State Building. Even astronauts on the Space Station have taken part by reducing their power use on the station, and Google has also shown its support by making a dark homepage for the event.What’s the idea behind Earth Hour? It is to raise awareness of environmental protection and call for action to protect nature. It’s true that turning off the lights for just one hour saves only a small amount of power. But this is only the beginning.On one level, joining in Earth Hour makes people think about the environmental problems and what we can do in everyday life to protect nature. For example, eating less meat, using low-energy electrical objects instead of high-energy ones and using green forms of transport all help the planet.But on another level, a large number of people all acting together sends a powerful message to governments and companies. It pushes them to take action by considering green issues when making big decisions.26.When is Earth Hour event in 2022?A.On March 3rd.B. On March 15th.C.

A report from the Jin dynasty(朝代) described “red fish”swimming in the Red River. Goldfish were widely mentioned in Tang dynasty poems. They were collected in the pond(池塘) by rich people at that time.During the Song dynasty, a ruler built a pond in Hangzhou to raise goldfish. It marked the time when people began to raise them. However, owning yellow goldfish was not allowed because the color yellow was thought to be a sign of the king. Common people were forced(强迫) to raise orange ones, which is probably why orange goldfish are more common today.Until the invention of the goldfish bowl in the Ming dynasty, goldfish were always seen outdoors in ponds. The goldfish bowl allowed more people to keep goldfish and interested people in raising more beautiful kinds such as the “lion head”that could not live outdoors. Goldfish traveled to Japan in 1502, Europe in 1611, and the United States in the early 1,800s.The Chinese have expressed good wishes through images(形象) of animals, plants and other objects. The Chinese language has many homophones, they sound the same but have different meanings. For example, the Chinese word for “fish”is a homophone of the word for “more”, so fish express wishes for “owning more”.Goldfish competitions, which began in Beijing during the Ming dynasty, continue in China. Even in Hong Kong, there is a busy goldfish market to meet the modern requirement of the fish of wealth and good wishes.31. People widely recorded goldfish in the _______ dynasty.A. JinB. TangC.
