EARTH DAY, EVERY DAY
Each year, Earth Day is celebrated on April 22. On Earth Day, millions of people around the world raise awareness about the environment and the need to protect it against pollution and deforestation. Earth Day is celebrated differently in different countries around the world, but all these celebrations have the same theme and goal of improving our planet. Let’s take a closer look at how different places celebrate this important day. In New York, there are pop-up shops featuring companies that support sustainability and eco-friendly concepts such as “buy one, get one tree” where for every product you buy, the company will plant a tree! Speaking of sustainability-focused companies, in Japan, they hold a two-day event where around 100,000 visitors support these companies by purchasing from their stores and participating in fun family activities. There are various events in India on Earth Day, and participants are encouraged to wear green. Many of these events are focused on raising funds to protect the Asian elephant, which is an endangered species. Like many governments across the globe, the South African government considers climate change to be one of the biggest challenges that humanity is facing. Earth Day is a day for South Africans to focus on making small, easy adjustments in their everyday life in order to create a more sustainable future. We can all help to create a healthy and happy Earth by treating every day like Earth Day, even if it is in just one small way. After all, the Earth belongs to all of us and we should all look after it to ensure a sustainable home for future generations.

THE GREATEST INVENTORS
When we think of “the greatest inventors” in the world, we almost always think of those like Thomas Edison or Alexander Graham Bell. They had revolutionary ideas and there is no doubt that our lives would be very different (and very boring) without their creations. It almost seems like nobody has invented anything useful in a long time, but this is simply not true! Our technology today is so advanced that new inventions don’t seem to have life-changing results. But this doesn’t mean that they aren’t useful, or that they aren’t amazing, either. It’s just that they are less noticeable than it was in the past when new creations considerably changed our way of life. And so, we should celebrate these incredible people and respect them as much as we respect the inventors that came before them. Modern-day inventor Elon Musk has transformed the world of automobiles with his creation of arguably the first self-driving car that performs as well as regular cars. Before he passed away in 1931, Thomas Edison held the world record for the largest number of inventions – 1093 to be exact. In 2003, a Japanese inventor named Shunpei Yamazaki beat his record. As of today, Yamazaki holds the record of 6074 inventions, and counting! And then there is Mark Zuckerberg whose invention actually did change our lives, especially in terms of social media, marketing, and even job creation. Zuckerberg was only 19 years old when he invented Facebook. In 2007, at age 23, Zuckerberg became the world’s youngest self-made billionaire.
31. What is true about paragraph 1?
A. Everyone knows about Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell.
B. Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell used to be the greatest inventors.
C. Past inventions seem to have a greater influence on our life than modern ones.
D. There haven’t been any great inventions for a long time.
32. Why do we not seem to take much notice of new inventions today?
A. They are bad inventions. B. They make little changes to our lives.
C. There aren’t many new inventions. D. They aren’t useful.
33. What did Elon Musk invent?
A. The first fully self-driving car B. The first social media platform about cars
C. The first electric car D. The first mobile-controlled automobile
34. What is the current world record of inventions?
A. 1931 B. 1093 C. 2003 D. 6074
35. Which is NOT an effect of Mark Zuckerberg’s invention?
A. People can have more jobs. B. People can share things online easily.
C. People can promote and sell things better. D. People lead better lives.

GIVING BACK TO YOUR COMMUNITY
Although you may have busy lives, helping the community is something that you should always make time for. Giving back not only helps you feel good, but it also brings many benefits to those around you. By participating in those meaningful voluntary activities, you can also make new friends, connect with the community, learn new skills, and even develop your career. There are many ways to give back to the community. Cleaning up your neighborhood is helpful to both the community and the environment. By picking up trash and doing some yard work, you can make your area a more pleasant place to live. Neighborhood cleanup is proof that even small acts of kindness can make a huge difference. Another way is to care about your neighbors and the people around you. By taking some time to get to know your neighbors, you can find out more about the challenges they face and develop ways to help them. Whether the solution is planning a budget, doing some grocery shopping, or even having a brief chat, a little effort can make a real change in their lives. If you have some extra money on hand, then consider donating a small amount to a local charity. Before you do, however, make sure that your charity of choice is a real one. Even by donating your unwanted possessions, you can help someone in need. You may also consider donating unwanted items to charity shops, or contributing unused food to a food bank.

A virtual community is one whose members interact with each other mainly via the Internet. These communities get people with similar interests together so that they can share their interests or help each other in different ways.

Similarly, many people join a virtual community for educational purposes. MOOCs, or massive open online courses, are places where people can join an educational course using the Internet.

Many of these communities cross international borders. Book Crossing, a social networking site for book-lovers, has members in 132 different countries. Moreover, some online communities care more about improving the real community that they live in.
