    Earth Day is on April 22nd. It was startedby an American Nelson. In 1970, about 20 million(百万) Americanscelebrated the first Earth Day. Every day, we take important things from theearth, like trees, water, and oil. Our factories, cars, and garbage(垃圾) make the air, water, and land dirty. If we are not careful, wewill have no trees, no clean water and air, and no food. Earth Day tells us tobe kind to the earth. Use less water, plant more trees... The earth is ours, sowe should help the earth every day, not just on Earth Day!

    My name is Sally White. I am a school girl. My school is far from my home. Every day it takes long time to get there. The road is not flat. So I cannot go to school by bike. I often go there by bus or on foot. It takes me thirty minutes to get there by bus and an hour on foot. I must get up very early every morning. I have no time for breakfast at home. I often eat something for breakfast on the way. I don't want to be late for school.

    It is a cold day in winter. A farmer finds a snake on the ground. It is nearly dying. The farmer is a kind person. He brings it home and puts it near the fire. Soon the snake begins to move, but it raises its head and tries to bite the farmer. "Oh," says the farmer, "I save your life, but you pay me back in this way. You must die." Then he kills the snake with a stick.
