world"s fresh water is here and the forest plants clean the Earth"s air every day.
Chico was born near the Amazon town, Brazil, in 1944 and started working when he was very young.
Like the rest of his family, the boy got the money by taking a little rubber from the trees in the forest. (The
trees are not hurt when the rubber is taken. ) The forest and its people lived together comfortably and
peacefully.
But some people think too much about themselves and never think about the future. In 1980, the forest
was burned to build roads, houses and factories. Chico was angry; he wanted to save the forest! He talked to
the government workers, but they didn"t listen to him. They were still clearing the rainforests to make quick,
easy money. "Many voices are stronger than one," he thought, so Chico held group meetings. He discovered
that hundreds of people agreed with him. His hope grew. More people came together to try to stop the work
of the forest clearers. Large areas of the forest were saved. Later he traveled to many other countries for
international help. People soon became very much interested in this brave Brazilian. In the next few years
Chico" s name became famous all over the world. The government of Brazil started making plans to protect
large areas of the Amazon rainforest.
But as Chico"s dreams started coming true, someone stopped him in the only possible way. The famous
forest fighter was murdered right outside his home on December 22, 1988. Chico"s life was cut short, but his
brave new ideas continued in other people. One man changed the world"s ideas. After his death, people around
the world sent money to help Chico"s work.

to help fight against global climate changes and give the world a brighter future.
For Earth Hour 2010, many best-known buildings went dark from 8:30 to 9: 30 local time, such as the
Eiffel Tower, Big Ben, Sydney"s Opera House and Beijing"s Forbidden City, etc. Millions of businesses and
homes around the world also turned off their lights.
Some 4, 000 cities in more than 120 countries volunteered to turn off Saturday to reduce energy
consumption (能量消耗). "We have everyone from Casablanca to the camps of Namibia and Tanzania taking
part," said Greg Bourne, CEO of WWF (World Wildlife Fund) in Australia, which started Earth Hour.
Earth Hour began in Sydney, Australia, in 2007. In 2008, the event turned into an international one, which
has drawn the participation of hundreds of towns and cities worldwide. Now in its fourth year, more and
more cities from the world took part in Earth Hour as a show of support for action against global warming.
In a WWF survey after Earth Hour 2009, 80 million U.S. citizens said they had participated, according to
Ann. "Earth Hour has always been an event about families and individuals as well," Ann said, "and it"s really
about Americans and people all over the world standing up and saying climate change is real and we need to
do something about it now."
However, Earth Hour"s energy-saving influence is limited. But WWF says that Earth Hour"s real value is
symbolic (象征的).

| If you go to a fast food restaurant, you will probably see a lot of teenagers. Today many teenagers are overweight, and some of this is because of their bad eating habits. Most teenagers love food with a lot of fat, oil, salt and sugar. People often call this kind of food "junk food" (垃圾食品) But bad eating habits go beyond fast food.
