People from all over the world visit Disneyland to have fun, not to get sick. But last week, an outbreak of measles(麻疹)spread from the Southern California theme park. As of Monday, January 19, at least 52 people have got the easily spread illness.

The majority of the reported cases of measles are from people who visited the park before. According to the California Department of Public Health, these people were exposed to the illness at Disneyland from December 17-20.

Officials believe the cause is likely someone who caught measles abroad and visited Disneyland, but this has yet to be proved. However, in 2014, California had its highest measles infection rate in nearly twenty years. There were 66 cases of measles reported in the state―23 of them in Orange County, where Disneyland is located.

Measles spreads very easily. It can be caught from coughing and sneezing. Crowded areas like theme parks are especially suitable for its spread.

The illness starts with a fever and develops into symptoms including a cough, runny nose, red eyes and so on. About three out of ten people infected with measles will develop another health problem, including an ear infection or pneumonia(肺炎).

The best way to guard against measles is to get vaccinated(打疫苗). An unvaccinated person is 35 times more likely to catch measles than someone who received a vaccination.

Since the first Earth Day in 1970,Americans have gotten a lot “greener” toward the environment.“We didn’t know at that time that there even was an environment,let alone that there was a problem with it,”says Bruce Anderson,president of Earth Day USA.

But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement.Business people,political leaders,university professors,and especially millions of grass-roots 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 in 1995 there are about 6,600.Advanced lights,motors,and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.

Twenty-five years ago,there were hardly any education programs for environment.Today,it’s 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.

1.According to Anderson,before 1970,Americans had little idea about .

A.the social movement

B.recycling techniques

C.environmental problems

D.the importance of Earth Day

2.Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?

A.The grass-roots level.

B.The business circle.

C.Government officials.

B.They have settled their environmental problems.

C.They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.

We all knew we can’t live on our own. A lot of things are very important in our lives, such as animals which are usual considered as one of the most essential part. They help us in many ways except providing their meat for us and making our diet variously. Moreover, people get much fun and pleasure when lived with them. In my opinion, how the animals give us may be more than the things we do for them, but they are our great and honest friends. So in the return, we should do our best protect them because we can not live without them.
