22、Have you ever heard of Earth Day? On Earth Day, we think about life on our beautiful planet. Earth Day began on April 22, 1970 and people celebrate it in the third week of April every year.

The purpose of Earth Day is to bring different groups of people to care for environmental problems. Gaylord Nelson, an American had the idea of an Earth Day. He hopes the day would   make governments and people pay attention to the different environmental problems on our planet. He found that everyone would have to work together to help the environment. And the first Earth Day also helped pass the Clean Air, Clean Water and Endangered Species Acts (法令).

Earth Day is usually celebrated with outdoor activities. Some people plant new trees. Some pick up roadside rubbish. Others ask governments for stronger action(行动) to stop environmental pollution. Programs about environmental problems are often on TV on Earth Day.

To describe Earth Day, people use these symbols such as a drawing of the planet earth, a tree, a flower or leaves meaning growth. Colours used for Earth Day include(包括) natural colors such as green, brown or blue.

23、Would you like to have a brother or a sister? Years ago this might have sounded impossible to many. But since several years ago, with the end of China’s “one-child policy(政策)”, this could actually happen now. All Chinese couples are allowed to have two children. It means that many Chinese children may have siblings(兄弟姐妹) in the future.

What would it be like growing up with a brother or a sister? Having a sibling can stop children from bad feelings, according to Laura Padilla-Walker, a teacher from Brigham Young University, US. “Siblings give children something that parents can’t,” she said. You may not feel lonely at home any more because there is someone to play with you. You can also share secrets with him or her.

“But children with siblings also have to learn to control(控制) their feelings,” said Padilla-Walker. You need to share things with them, such as attention from parents, toys, the bathroom and the TV. There are also unpleasant situations such as competition, name-calling and even hair-pulling.

Even the birth order of siblings could matter too. US psychologist Kevin Leman said that birth order decides the way parents treat their children, thus causing different personalities between siblings.

Leman explained that parents are usually more strict with their first child. So firstborns may be perfect because parents set high goals(目标) for them. They usually act well and hope to succeed. When the couple has a second child, they have fewer rules. So late-born children are usually more creative. They also love attention. It is said that many of them also have a good sense of humor.

【1】The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refers to(指) ______.

A．one-child policy

B．having a brother or a sister

A．the advantages of having a sibling

A．late-born children are usually successful at school

B．having a sibling can stop children from bad feelings

C．parents are usually more strict with their first-born child

D．children with siblings have to learn to control their feelings
