Earth Hour is an annual event which asks you to switch off all your lights for one hour. The aim
is to involve as many people as possible in positive change for our planet.
What is Earth Hour?
Earth Hour is organised by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and it's a big event usually
at the end of March every year. On this evening, people 'go dark' - that is, switch off lights in
their homes, schools and businesses all at the same time for one hour. Earth Hour started in
Australia in 2007, when 2.2 million people in Sydney turned off all unnecessary lights for an
hour. Since then, it has grown into an international event, and many countries around the world
have taken part. Famous buildings that have gone dark for Earth Hour include the Sydney Opera
House and Harbour Bridge, the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, the Houses of Parliament and
Buckingham Palace in London, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Forbidden City in Beijing and New
York's Empire State Building.
What’s the idea behind Earth Hour?
The idea is to raise awareness of environmental issues and call for action to protect nature, so that
people enjoy healthy, happy and sustainable lives now and in the future.
It's true that switching off the lights for just one hour saves only a small amount of power. But
this is only the beginning. On one level, participating in Earth Hour makes people think about the
problem of climate change and what we can do in everyday life to protect nature.
What does ‘60+’ mean?
The logo of Earth Hour is '60+'. The number 60 is for the 60 minutes of Earth Hour, and the plus
invites people to keep on taking action even after Earth Hour is finished. In fact, people who join
Earth Hour say that taking part makes them want to do more for the environment. The climate
activist Greta Thunberg says that 'Earth Hour is every hour of everyday.
Question 31. When is Earth Hour?
A. annual event B. at the end of March every year
C. in 2007 D. 60 minutes
Question 32. What do people do for Earth Hour?
A. Switch off non-essential lights.
B. Watch TV to participate in the campaign.
C. Raise awareness of environmental issues
D. Switch on the lights at famous buildings.
Question 33. The word “go dark” in the second paragraph is CLOSEST in meaning to _____ .

Around the world, there are some jobs that may seem quite strange and surprising to you.
A. Train pushers
In Japan, the railway system is huge and everyone there uses trains. This makes
them overcrowded most of the time. During rush hour, railway station attendants called 'pushers'
or 'oshiya' do the strangest job in the world - they push passengers into trains. They have to do
this because of the large number of commuters who wish to arrive at their desired locations on
time. That's why they must endure the pain of squeezing themselves inside the train.
B. Cleaners of the world's highest building
Have you ever wondered how the world's tallest building, Burj Khalifa, in Dubai, is cleaned? It
takes a team of 36 window cleaners a total of three months to clean the s tower's reflective
windows. Working from a height of more than 800 metres, the cleaners face huge challenges
especially during bad weather. They must be the bravest cleaners in the world.
C. Golf balls divers
Every year in the UK, millions of golf balls get lost in the water around golf courses. This gave
rise to the demand for golf ball divers whose job is to dive deep into the lakes ' and ponds around
golf courses to find the lost balls. Most of them are professional scuba divers, but they spend long
hours crawling around in mud and carrying heavy buckets. On average, they find 5,000 balls per
lake. After cleaning them, they resell or recycle the balls. Sounds dangerous, doesn't it?

Spoken by 68 million people in the world, Italian is the only official language of two countries
(Italy and...can you guess the second one? The answer is at the end of this passage!) and one of
the official languages of the European Union, the Vatican, and Switzerland.
As we have mentioned before, from a linguistic perspective Italian is a neo-Latin known as
romance language, and its history is intertwined with poetry and literature. We owe to Dante
Alighieri and his Divina Commedia - written in his native Florentine language - the
standardisation of Italian, which soon became the commonly spoken language among educated
people all over the not-yet-become country.
Despite its celebrity, Italian is not the only language spoken in Italy. The Italian state recognizes
not less than 12 linguistic minorities, even though only three are actually in use in public schools
in the areas of interest: French in the Vailed Aosta, German in the Bolzano province, and
Slovenian in the Trieste province. In addition, Italy is the land of another great
linguistic abundance: dialects. According to the UN, 29 dialects are spoken in the country, with
the National Statistic Institute estimating that 14% of Italians only speak a local dialect, and
another 32,2% alternatively use Italian and a dialect depending on context.
The mix of Italian and dialects is not only part of the daily lives of many Italians, but also
influences a big part of Italian literature both of ancient and modern times. Some examples

Page 71

include Carlo Goldoni, Carlo Emilio Gadda or, more recently, Andrea Camilleri, author of the
