21、The world celebrates Earth Day every year on April 22. But one school in Potomac, Maryland tries to honour Earth Day every day. Very young children are learning about the environment and taking action to show their love for the Earth.
A child’s world is the world of playing. They love being outside in the open air, playing hide-and-seek, sliding and swinging on playground equipment. But children at St. James Children’s School also add to that fun by picking up rubbish in the school yard. Inside, they learn to save water and electricity. They also recycle and reuse the waste. And every spring they get the soil ready to plant flowers and vegetables in the school garden.
The children at St. James range from six weeks to six years old. The environmental study begins at age two. Rebecca Boker teaches the children the importance of taking care of the Earth. Boker says every day at St. James is Earth Day. She mentioned some books, which contain materials that ask children to do something to help the environment and protect the Earth.
At St. James, children observe the growth of plants from seeds to sprouts (新芽) in cups kept in the classroom. Then they watch the plants continue to grow after placing them in the garden.The students also observe the life cycle of insects. After that, they know it is their job to respect the Earth just like they want others to respect their home.
But do these young children really get the message that their teachers try to communicate? Ms. Boker says yes. A few days later, the kids at St. James will go out to the school garden for the yearly clean-up. But for them, Earth Day will continue for the schooldays ahead as well.

22、 Finland is about to start an extremely ambitious journey to test one of the most controversial economic theories of our time. The country’s social security institution known as Kela will be handing free money to thousands of jobless citizens on a monthly basis for the next two years. It’s a test of an economic strategy known as Basic Income, which at its core is essentially free money for every person once they reach a certain age, without any prerequisites.
The idea behind Basic Income is that by giving every individual a certain amount of money with which to keep themselves out of poverty, they are better off regardless of all other factors. If a person has a well-paying job, they still get Basic Income, just like everyone else, thereby creating a society in which every adult is above poverty and also continually contributing to the economy by spending money.
That sounds like a utopia, right? But there are other factors that create a lot of uncertainty, like whether or not free money will impact a society’s motivation to actually work. In the case of Finland’s experiment, individuals will be given a monthly payment of around $590, which is enough to prevent those individuals from becoming homeless, but obviously not enough to go clubbing on weekends or live extravagantly.
This is far from the first test of Basic Income and in recent years many programs have sought to put the theory to the test, even in the United States, Y Combinator, a venture fund which focuses on seed investments to startup companies, launched a small pilot program in Oakland, offering 100 citizens up to $2,000 per month just for existing. The program was small in scale and timeline, and many questioned whether or not it could possibly prove the theory one way or the other. At its heart, that’s the problem with all tests of Basic Income. When individuals know that it’s only a test and that the benefits aren’t permanent, they aren’t likely to change their behavior. If the test subjects in Finland find jobs and become rich, that doesn’t necessarily prove that they wouldn’t prefer to remain jobless if their Basic Income was promised for life. Whatever the case, it’ll be interesting to see how the large-scale test turns out to be the next 24 months.
【1】The purpose of Basic Income is to _____.
A.help all citizens to live a rich life
B.test a controversial economic theory
C.help citizens get out of poverty and promote the economy
D.offer money to the unemployed and help them pull through
【2】What does the underlined word “extravagantly” mean?
A.Honorably. B.Wastefully. C.Happily. D.Freely.
【3】Many people doubt Basic Income because _____.
A.the program is not fair for rich people
B.it can’t really help people break away from poverty
C.its test can’t reflect people’s real thought in the short term
D.its test failed to see how people behaved when they received free money
【4】What can we infer from the passage?
A.The author expects the result of the test.
B.Basic Income hasn’t been tested before.
C.Y Combinator’s program is part of Basic Income.
D.Basic Income is not well-accepted by Finnish citizens.
【5】In which column of a magazine will you most probably read the passage?
A.Travel and Fashion. B.Finance and Economy.
C.Business and Culture. D.Sports and Entertainment.
