Business people，political leaders，university professors，and especially millions of grassroots Americans are taking part in the movement.“The understanding has increased many，many times，”says Gaylord Nelson，the former governor from Wisconsin，who thought up the first Earth Day.According to US government reports，emissions（排放）from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 million tons. The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9. Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with，the world is a safer and healthier place. A kind of “green thinking ” has become part of practices.Great improvement has been achieved. In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs；today there are about 6,600. Advanced lights，motors，and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.Fortyfive years ago，there were hardly any education programs for environment. Today，its hard to find a public school，university，or law school that does not have such a kind of program.“Until we do that，nothing else will change！”says Bruce Anderson.28According to Anderson，before 1970，Americans had little idea about _.Athe social movementBrecycling techniquesCenvironmental problemsDthe importance of Earth Day29Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?AThe grassroots level.

Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive(再体验) these experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase（抹去）,the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing(释放) chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.“Some memories can ruin peoples lives. They come back to you when you dont want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions,”said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.“This could relieve a lot of that suffering.”But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity（特质）. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of past.“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. Im not sure we want to wipe（擦拭） those memories out,”said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.32. The passage is mainly about .A. a new medical inventionB. a new research on the pillC. a way of erasing painful memoriesD. an argument about the research on the pill33. The drug tested on people can .A. cause the brain to fix memoriesB. stop people remembering bad experiencesC. prevent body producing certain chemicalsD. wipe out the emotional effects of memories34. We can infer from the passage that .A. people doubt the effects of the pillsB. the pill will stop peoples bad experiencesC. taking the pill will do harm to peoples healthD. the pill has probably been produced in America35. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with?A. Some memories can ruin peoples lives.B. People want to get rid of bad memories.C. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.D. The pill will reduce peoples sufferings from bad memories.第二节（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。When youve decided to make changes in your body, the most important thing to do is to start with an effective diet plan.
