We should turn off the tap if we don’t use it. Deep-thinking P54-3 35 We can’t say protecting the Earth is none of my business. We have the only and the same Earth. Without other livings, we cannot live. 36 Unit 4 The Earth Reading 2 37 Unit 4 The Earth 主题范畴 主题群 子主题 人与自然 自然生态;环境保护 热爱与敬畏自然,与自然和谐共生;环境污染及原因,环保意识和行为 Why should we learn about the Earth?
