Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taki ng part in the movement. “The understanding has increased many, many times，” says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first Earth Day.According to US government reports, emissions(排放) from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 million tons. The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9.Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with, the world is a safer and healthier place. A kind of “green thinking” has become part of practices.Great improvement has been achieved. In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programmes; today in 1995 there are about 6，600.Advanced lights, motors, and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.Twenty-five years ago, there were hardly any education programmes for environment. Today, it's hard to find a public school, university, or law school that does not have such a kind of programme. “Until we do that, nothing else will change！” says Bruce Anderson.25. According to Anderson, before 1970, Americans had little idea about ________．A. the social movementB. recycling techniquesC. environmental problemsD. the importance of Earth Day26. Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?A. The grass-roots level.B. The business circle.C. Government officials.D. University professors.27. What have Americans achieved in environmental protection?A. They have cut car emissions to the lowest.B. They have settled their environmental problems.C. They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.D. They have reduced pollution through effective measures.28. What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph?A. Education.B. Planning.C. Green living.D. CO reduction.COne of the latest trends(趋势) in American childcare is Chinese au pairs. Au Pair in Stamford, Conn, for example, has got increasing numbers of requests for Chinese au pairs from zero to around 4，000 since 2004. And that's true all across the country.“I thought it would be useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age，” Joseph Stocke, the managing director of a company, says of his 2-year-old son. “I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future.” After only six months of being cared for by a 25-year-old woman from China, the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions, his dad says.Li Drake, a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband, had another reason for looking for an au pair from China: she didn't want her children to miss out on their roots. “Becaus e I am Chinese, my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to(接触) the language and culture，” she says.“Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom，” says Suzanne Flynn, a professor in language education of children. “But parents must understand that just one year with an au pair i s unlikely to produce wonders. Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12.”The popularity of au pairs from China has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children to learn Chinese. It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years.29. What does the term “au pair” in the text mean?A. A mother raising her children on her own.B. A child learning a foreign language at home.C. A professor in language education of children.D. A young foreign women taking care of children.30. Li Drake has her children study Chinese because she wants them ________．A. to live in China some dayB. to speak the language at homeC. to catch up with other childrenD. to learn about the Chinese culture31. What can we infer from the text?A. Learning Chinese is becoming popular in America.B. Educated women do better in looking after children.C. Chinese au pairs need to improve their English skills.D. Children can learn a foreign language well in six months.DA schoolgirl saved her father's life by kicking him in the chest after he suffered a serious allergic(过敏的) reaction which stopped his heart.Izzy, nine, restarted father Colm's heart by stamping (踩) on his chest after he fell down at home and stopped breathing.Izzy's mother, Debbie, immediately called 999 but Izzy knew doctors would never arrive in time to save her father, so decided to use CPR.However, she quickly discovered her arms weren't strong enough, so she stamped on her father's chest instead.Debbie then took over with some more conventional chest compressions(按压) until the ambulance arrived.Izzy, who has been given a bravery award by her school, said, “I just kicked him really hard.
