With all the recent concern about the environment, people want to see their money used to better the planet. Here are four wellknown environmental organizations.
World Wildlife Fund (WWF)
The World Wildlife Fund is perhaps one of the bestknown organizations for the protection of endangered species and their habitats around the world. They've been around for over 45 years. You can donate through their website worldwildlife.org, join their organization as a member, or adopt an animal through their online adoption center.
National Geographic Society (NGS)
National Geographic Society is wellknown for their magazine and their specials on TV. The organization itself is one of the longestrunning in the world—they've been around since 1888 focusing on exploration and conservation of forests, oceans, habitats, species and societies. You choose to donate through the website nationalgeographic.com, buy something at their online store, or order a magazine subscription.
National Wildlife Federation (NWF)
Founded officially in 1937, the National Wildlife Federation tries to protect wildlife at all costs. In fact, they believe that having the public educated is the best way to help the environment—the more you know, the more you can protect the world we live in. Donations to the NWF can be made through their website nwf.org or through other options, like matching gifts, workplace giving, or memorial donations.
EcologyFund. com
Set up in 1976, EcologyFund.com is run on user clicks. Advertisers buy ad space on the site every time someone clicks. The money goes to buy endangered wilderness land to protect it from companies that would destroy it. So far, EcologyFund.com has bought land in many areas. The best thing about this site is that you needn't donate any money—all you have to do is click.

In beautiful rural Montana lies the town of Livingston. Around half the students in the Livingston School District qualify for free or reducedprice lunches, according to local educator Rachael Jones, known as “Farmer Jones”. She is the director of the Livingston Farm to School program, which uses the district's two greenhouses and four gardens to grow food that supplements (补充) school meals while offering kids handson lessons. Jones said, “In many places around the country, if you can't pay for your school meal, you don't eat. Well, here, we don't turn anyone away.”
The town's school district and community members started the program eight years ago. It was part of the National Farm to School Network, which aims to increase access to local food and nutrition education across the country. Jones, who attended public school in Livingston as a kid, has headed up the local program since 2014. Farm to School enriches curriculums in all of the schools through garden lessons, cafeteria and kitchen lessons, and classroom lessons.
Research has shown that healthy school meals can better academic performance, including improved test scores. Though the Farm to School program is not aimed only at lowerincome students, Jones said, “Such kids are more likely to eat lunch provided by the school.” Eventually she wants to get healthy, affordable meals on the plate of every child in Livingston.
It is important for kids to understand where their food comes from. That's a lifechanging experience for them. Jones said, “When I grew up a big force in my life was my grandma Ethel. She taught me from a really early age the value of growing my own food. I worked in her gardens with her and somehow, through all of those experiences—eating her tomatoes and canning pickles (泡菜) with her—it really built up my trust and knowledge in food systems. I'm so thankful to her!”

Nowadays green living is becoming more and more popular. Going green means protecting ourselves.
Everyone can play an active part in the campaign. First of all, in order to reduce pollution, we can try to use public transportation or travel on foot or by bike. Besides, we should cherish what we have and make good use of water, electricity, paper and so on so that we can save energy. We can start by exchanging our secondhand books with others. Finally, if possible, classify our garbage and recycle it, so in this way, we can gradually improve the environment.
Start now and we will make a difference. That's all. Thank you.

Eating a vegetarian diet reduces the risk of heart failure by almost half, scientists have discovered. Those who change processed (加工过的) meats and fatty foods for a mostly vegetarian diet are 42 percent less likely to develop heart failure.
A diet which includes whole grains, fish, beans, and dark green leafy (多叶的) plants lead to a hearthealthy lifestyle, scientists from Icahn School of Medicine in New York said.
In a study conducted by Dr Kyla Lara, experts examined five diets which ranged from red meats, to plantbased food, sweets and alcohol over four years. Foods such as eggs, fried food, offal (内脏), alcohol and salads were not connected with a decreased risk for heart failure.
A total of 15,559 participants reported their diets using a food frequency questionnaire that kept track of what they ate from five dietary (饮食的) patterns.
These five patterns were convenience that includes red meats, pastas (面食), fried potatoes and fast foods; plantbased that includes dark green leafy vegetables, fruits, beans and fish; sweets that include desserts, bread, sweet breakfast foods, chocolate and candy; southern that includes eggs, fried food, organ meats, processed meats, sugarsweetened beverages and alcohol/salads that include salad dressings, green leafy vegetables, tomatoes, wine, butter and liquor.
Of the five dietary patterns, long time relying on the plantbased diet had the strongest association with a decreased risk of incident heart failure when adjusted for age, sex and race of the participants and for other risk factors.
No associations for the other four dietary patterns were found.
Dr Lara said, “Eating a diet mostly of dark green leafy plants, fruits, beans, whole grains and fish, while limiting processed meats, saturated fats (饱和脂肪), trans (反式) fats, refined carbohydrates (精制的碳水化合物) and foods high in added sugars is a hearthealthy lifestyle and may specifically help prevent heart failure if you don't already have it.”

篇章导读:本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了中国在绿化沙漠方面付出的努力终于有了好的结果。
1.a 考查冠词。此处泛指“一种游戏”,应用不定冠词,且game的发音以辅音音素开头,因此用不定冠词a。故填a。
2.reaches 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。在when引导的时间状语从句中,主句是一般将来时will plant,从句应用一般现在时;主语the “energy”是不可数名词,应用第三人称单数。故填reaches。
3.organizations 考查名词。and连接并列成分,因此所填词应该是名词,与companies并列;前面有some修饰,此处应该用复数。故填organizations。
