The first Earth Hour was held in 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million individuals(個(gè)體) and more than two thousand businesses turned their lights off for one hour to take a stand against climate change. Only a year later Earth Hour had grown into a global event with more than 50 million people across 35 countries and territories（行政區(qū)）participating(參加). Global landmarks such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge, CN Tower in Toronto, Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and Rome’s Colosseum, all stood in darkness, as symbols of hope for a cause that grows more urgent(緊急) by the hour. In March 2009, millions of people took part in the third Earth Hour. Over 4000 cities in 88 countries and territories have promised their official support for the event. On Saturday 27 March, Earth Hour 2010 became the biggest Earth Hour. A record said 128 countries and territories joined the global display of climate action.
The event is organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature, also known as the WWF. The organizers say climate change is one of the greatest threats(威脅) facing wildlife and nature. They also say when it comes to save energy and money, big changes start with small steps like turning out the lights. Now people are all joining together in a global effort to show that it’s possible to work on global warming. Earth Hour has brought about some new changes to our lives. People join in activities such as candle-lit dinners and star-gazing parties as a response to the call for "going dark".

This year , Earth Hour is asking people to take the next step and go beyond one hour. So if you haven’t done so, next year, late half past eight to half past nine, let us turn off the lights for one hour for the environment!

Earthquakes can be very scary（嚇人的）. But you need to keep your mind stable (堅(jiān)定的) in order to make sure you are safe. Be calm and try not to run here and there.
If you manage to come out of your house, go to an open space like a garden or a park where you will be a lot safer. If you live quite some floors above in your building, try to find a place near a bulky(堅(jiān)固的) object such as a bed. Curl up (蜷縮) and sit on the floor and make sure you are not near a window, fireplace, gas stove and so on. Remember don’t use lifts or escalators.
Some people say you should stand on a doorway. That is not true. If the doorway jambs (側(cè)壁) are weak, they might fall on you. Also if people want to pass through that door, you may stop them. Leave all doorways free.
Another important thing to keep in mind is that you mustn’t climb down the stairs during an Earthquake. If the tremors (震動(dòng)) stop, after a few seconds, just climb down the stairs as quickly as you can and move out of the building, but don’t run.
Earthquakes usually destroy gas pipes and electrical wires. Turn off the main gas. And don’t light candles or lighters and create an even bigger disaster.
If you’re driving and feel a shake, stop your car at the side of the road and get out. Make sure you are not on a bridge. Bridges and overhead roads (高架路) have the biggest danger of falling.
【小題1】 The best title for the passage should be       .

A．Dos and Don’ts Before an Earthquake.
B．What to Do in Case of Earthquake
C．Tips for Earthquake Preventions
D．Tips for Children in Earthquake.
【小題2】When an earthquake suddenly happens, you should       .
a. remain standing near a window             b. turn off the main gas
c. stay in an open space                     d. stand on a doorway
e. keep off  overhead roads
A．a(chǎn), b, cB．c, d, eC．b, c, eD．b, d, e
【小題3】 Which of the following is NOT true, when an earthquake suddenly happens?
A．We can’t use the lift.
B．Curling up may be very dangerous.
C．We must turn off the gas.
D．We must get out of the car when the earthquake comes
