Engaging in sustainable household practices is simple and saves a great deal of money over time; families that work together to go green are able to help the environment and spend time with one another. There are many easy ways to go green as a family.Environmentally Friendly Tips for KidsHelping kids go green is as simple as taking a trip to the library arriving in an energy efficient car, using public transportation, biking or walking are all great ways to save energy on the way, too. Going to a park instead of watching television is a way for kids to get exercise and entertainment for free. This also reduces energy use on televisions and video games.How to Use Green Cleaning ProductsCleaning products are expensive and many of them contain chemicals that are environmentally hazardous, leading to polluted water sources and other damage. Using vinegar and water to clean saves money and reduces the environmental impact of cleaning. Although cleaning using homemade cleaners requires some extra elbow grease, the financial savings and environmental sustainability make green cleaning worth the time and effort.Environmentally Sustainable GardeningGrowing a vegetable garden is one of the easiest ways to save money on food. Food often travels hundreds of miles before consumption, and agricultural practices are some of the biggest consumers of oil and producers of greenhouse gases. Use a rain barrel to collect water for the garden. Collecting rain water saves on energy and water costs in addition to providing a source of water for a vegetable garden.Green Household TipsIn addition to saving energy, there are ways for making a house more energy efficient. A simple way to help maintain a cooler temperature in the summer is to leave windows and curtains open during the day and close them at night.Buy an energy efficient washer and dryer. These are designed to use smaller amounts of water and heat while still cleaning clothes. Wash clothes in cold water to reduce energy use; heating water requires a great deal of energy, and cold water is equally effective at cleaning. Green Tips for ElectronicsElectronics are a major drain on energy use and electric bills. Shut computers and electronics down at night; unless they are in use, the power they draw is wasted.Going green is as simple as changing everyday practices to be more sustainable.

While the place of their wedding, Westminster Abbey, has been the place of every coronation（加冕典礼）since the Norman conquest in 1066, only 15 royal couples have been married there since it was founded in 960.The first wedding to take place at the abbey was that of King Henry I of England and Princess Matilda of Scotland in 1100. The bride wore a deep red robe, a fashion choice Miss Middleton will likely not follow. While the great and good looked on and those less connected cheered outside, the archbishop(大主教) of Canterbury married the bride and groom. Many traditions for the groom to wear a military uniform, for the brides flowers to include a sprig of myrtle（爱神木小树枝）standing for love and for the couple to sign the wedding register(登记册) have been added in the years since.After King Richard IIs marriage to Anne of Bohemia in 1382, the abbey fell out of favor as the site of royal weddings for more than 500 years. That serial husband King Henry VIII had no fewer than six weddings, but none at the abbey, preferring Greenwich and Whitehall Palace. King George V encouraged a return to the national church. The king, who changed the royal familys name from the Germanic Saxe-Coburg to Windsor in 1917, thought using Westminster Abbey would show the royals “Britishness” better in the eyes of the people.In choosing the abbey rather than, say, St. Pauls Cathedral, where Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer married in 1981 to better receive their 3,500 guests Prince William and Kate Middleton are following the example of his great-grandparents King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, and his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II, who married the Duke of Edinburgh at the church, after World War II, on Nov. 20, 1947. 31.

King Henry I encouraged the royal to hold their wedding in the national church33. Where did Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer marry?A. Westminster Abbey. B. Greenwich. C. St. Pauls Cathedral. D.

The latest statistics show that the higher education level one gets the higher salary one will get. Those with less than a high school diploma can expect to face twice the average unemployment rate (16.4%) and earned about half of the average salary ($454). Some obstacles can prevent high school students from graduating on time. Students who do not attend school on a regular basis will not graduate on time. Some schools have a structured attendance policy which points out the number of school days a student can miss. Once a student miss more than this specific number, the school can deny the student credit(学分) towards graduation. Students, who have a great number of days absent from school, will fail to graduate on time.Every high school in the United States has graduation requirements. Students need to pass the courses in order to graduate, which usually include English, social, math, science, physical education, art, and elective classes. Students need to establish effective study skills to pass their classes. If a student does not pass a course, he will fail to graduate on time. He usually has to make up the credit the next term, in night school, online, or in summer school. Just as every high school in the United States has outlined graduation requirements, every school has expectations of student behavior. In order for a school to provide education to students, specific rules for behavior need to be carried out. Behavior policies can include tardiness(迟到), rudeness, disorderly conduct, disobey, stealing, and threatening behavior. High school students who choose to join in misbehavior during school will be punished or even be removed from the classroom. According to that schools policy, which again leads to not graduating.Todays high school students are exposed to a multitude of drugs. Drugs are common terms in the teen world. Stress, family issues, and depression often lead students to use drugs to mask real issues within their lives, which will lead to not graduating. All of the above elements can influence a students completion high school. However, students need to graduate from high school to be in a position to be employable and earn a competitive wage. So how to help them is of great importance.36. How many obstacles are mentioned to make students fail high school?A. Two B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.37.

Companies allowed workers to stay home. Long queues formed at airports.As Japanese authorities struggled to avoid disaster at an earthquake - battered nuclear plant 240 km to the north, parts of Tokyo resembled a ghost town. Many people stocked up on food and stayed indoors or simply left, transforming one of the worlds biggest and most populated cities into a shell of its usual self.Look, its like Sunday no cars in town, said Kazushi Arisawa, a 62-year-old taxi driver, as he waited for more than an hour outside an office tower where he usually finds customers within minutes. I cant make money today.Radiation in Tokyo has been negligible, briefly touching three times the normal rate on Tuesday, smaller than a dental X ray. On Wednesday, winds over the Fukushima（福岛）nuclear-power plant blew out to sea, keeping levels close to normalBut that does little to relieve public anxiety about a 40-year-old nuclear plant with three reactors in partial meltdown（熔毁）and a fourth with spent atomic fuel exposed to the atmosphere after last Fridays earthquake and tsunami.Radiation moves faster than we do, said Steven Swanson, a 43-year-old American who moved to Tokyo in last December with his Japanese wife to help with her family business.
