 Earth Day
 We celebrated Earth Day in my city last week. The idea of this special day began 
in the 1960s when life was very different. Few people talked, or even though, about the 
environment. Most people had no idea how dirty our air and water were. This attitude 
bothered Gaylord Nelson, who was a senator in the US government, and he had an idea. 
If people around the world knew the planet was in danger, they might work harder to 
save it, so he just needed to get their attention. The first Earth Day was just in the United 
States but it led to events every year all around the world on April 22 or the nearest 
weekend, depending on where you are.
 In my town, last Sunday afternoon lots of people rode their bikes from the park, 
around the town together and back to the park, talking as much time as the possibly 
could, so that the cars had to wait. Then we talked to all the drivers in cars which just had 
one person in them, to explain how wasteful that is and how much pollution it causes. 
The idea was to make people think about how much they use their cars. In other places, 
people collected plastic bags for a week and then made a pile of them in the town square. 
You can do anything as long as it makes people of all ages come together for a few hours 
and talk about the environment. Last year we had a big music event for young people. 
Some people said it was a a waste of time, but there was information for people to read 
and announcements between the bands about how to help protect the environment. 
1. What’s the writer trying to do?
A. encourage people to take part in this year’s Earth Day.
B. explain why Earth Day happens every year. 
C. compare the success of different events on Earth Day.
D. offer advice to people arranging an Earth Day event.
2.Earth Day began because
A. people had started to worry about damage to the environment.
B. different government decided it was a good idea.
C. one man wanted people to know about the planet’s environment.
D. people were working hard to make the air and water clean.
3. What happened on Earth Day this year in the writer’s city?
A. Cars were not allowed in the city center.
B. People cycled slowly through the street.
C. There was a talk about the pollution made by cars.
D. Cars had to have more than one person in them.
4. What does the writer think is the most important thing about the Earth Day 
event?
A. that people should become involved in them.
B. that they should attract young people.
C. that there should be some music.
D. that they should last all day.
5. Which of the following sentences appeared in a newspaper article about Earth 
Day?
A. Gaylord Nelson travelled around the world to persuade people to arrange events on the 
first Earth Day.
B. Earth Day events are on the same day in countries around the world.
C. Many more countries take part in Earth Day now than when it first began.
D. The first Earth Day was a disappointment to the organizers.
