The Earth Day was set up in 1970. Now, it is a worldwide event because the Earth is facing a lot of problems. Do you know why? Let’s listen to what the Earth says.
Earth says
I am the mother Earth. Filled with water, air, and life
Humans, trees, birds, water, animals, and wildlife. I spin and turn all year round the orbit. To give you all the seasons and climate.
You people use my land, air, water, and soil,
But keep on filling it with litter and allowing it to spoil. I provide you with air, food, and home to live, With greedy lust, you destroy the nature I give, And plot your own nature’s death.
The air you fill with smoke, makes by breath choke;
You make my heart fill with strife By cutting down the green forests, And pushing up the green-house gases. What was once a clean sea and pure soil Is now all barren; clogged with waste and oil.
How long can I stand the trouble? I start to scream and tremble. I give you all I have, unto my end;
But it’s now all in your hands to defend and mend.
44. What is the mother Earth like according to Stanza(诗节)1?

One Saturday Maria and I had a 30-mile bike ride. It seemed perfect. We started at 7:00 a.m. in beautiful spring weather. At 10:30 a.m., when we stopped for a rest, we both felt wonderful. And then a brisk wind came. That was when our perfect day began to change. By noon, we knew a serious thunderstorm was blowing our way. Dark clouds rolled up our of the southwest. A stinging wind burned our faces. There was no way to stay out of the storm. We would have to wait it out, but where?
Then things went from bad to worse. The temperature dropped suddenly. I looked up and saw the sky now turned dark green. Trees and crops were bent over by the wind. No animals were in sight.
Then a blue car stopped beside our bikes. The driver shouted, “Get in!” She looked
frightened, and so did we. We did as she said. That was when the hail(冰雹)started. Ice, the size of golf balls, hit the windows of the car.
She drove fast to the north. Maria and I looked back at the black sky. Maria screamed, “Tornado(龙卷风)!” It was so close that I could see trees, doors, and all kinds of other things that this monster swallowed(吞).
My heart moved up to my throat and was beating so hard, I thought it would jump out of my body. I had never been so frightened. We would never run faster than the tornado! The driver turned to us and said calmly, “There’s an overpass(立交桥)ahead. We’ll stay under it for protection.”
When we parked, we jumped out of the car and ran to the wall of the overpass. Before I could count to 20, there came a loud noise. It sounded like a train passing overhead. Then, suddenly, it was over. We had made it.
Soon we were all laughing with relief(轻松). We were shaken but excited. What a story I would have to tell at school.
47. What was the writer doing on the day of the tornado?
A. Resting at home. B. Playing outside. C. Riding a bike. D. Driving a car. 48. What happened first when the tornado began?

No matter(无论)where you are, you can see birds. Here are some birdwatching tips that make it possible to find and get a good look at more birds.
Keep ______________
Birds are easily startled(受惊)by loud noises and will fly to cover. It is almost impossible to get close to a bird, because birds hear much better than human beings do. By making less noise, you can get much closer to a bird. A new bird watcher, when seeing an especially beautiful bird, will shout:”WOW! LOOK AT THAT! IT’S RIGHT OVER THERE!” However, the same message can be whispered. The result is that the bird is more likely to stay there for everyone to see, for a long look.
Avoid sudden movements
Just as loud noises startle birds, so does a sudden movement. Getting close to a bird means following it, moving slowly. A sudden movement, even when swinging your binoculars up to your eyes, can make a bird nervous enough to fly away.
Be ______________
Some birds are always flying here and there, some are jumping up and down. It takes long time to wait for the birds to show themselves. A sparrow jumping around in a bush will finally move into a place where you can get a good look.
Try pishing
Sometimes, no matter how slowly and quietly you move, you just cannot get a good look at the bird. When this happens, bird watchers try a skill called pishing. A low whistled pish by blowing air through your closed teeth can attract(吸引)small birds to the watching place. Here’s how to pish: Clench(咬紧)your teeth, open your lips and whisper the word pish.
Just go outside and look around. Use these tips to see more birds and have fun!
Tips for birdwatching If you want to have a close look at birds, you should ____71____ these tips. Keep ____72____ Avoid sudden movements ➢ Birds will fly away to ____73____ from loud noise. ➢ It is better to speak in a low ____74____ when seeing beautiful birds. ➢ Moving ____75____ will make birds startled. ➢ Birds will feel ____76____ about a small movement like swinging binoculars. ➢ It takes time to watch the birds. Be ____77____ ➢ Keep ____78____, and a sparrow will jump into the place for you to watch. ➢ Sometimes you move slowly and quietly, ____79____ you still can’t watch the birds carefully. ➢ Pishing is a ____80____ to help attract birds.
