The pollution of the environment has become an important problem that the world has to face. Luckily, humans have realized it and we have been taking steps to deal with this problem. And many days have been appointed(指定).
On March 12 every year, many Chinese people plant trees because it is China’s Tree Planting Day. It first began in 1979. Different countries made different days as Tree Planting Day. Some countries’ Tree Planting Day is the same day as World Forest Day, such as France.
World Forest Day comes on March 21 every year. It was started by Spain in 1971. And the first World Forest Day was held on March 21, 1972. The purpose of World Forest Day is to encourage everyone to protect(保护) the trees because they are very important to our life.
Earth Day comes on April 22 every year. The purpose of Earth Day is to encourage people all around the world to protect the environment. It was created in America in 1970. But it wasn’t until 2009, April 22 that was named Earth Day by the UN.
Smoking is bad for our health. In order to stop people from smoking, April 7 was made as World No-Tobacco Day(世界无烟日) in 1987. The first World No-Tobacco Day began in 1988. But in 1989, it was made another day, on May 31 every year.

All living things on the earth need other living th ings to live on. Nothing lives alone. Most animalsmust live in a group, and even a plant grows close together with others of the same kind.

But all food chains begin with the sun, ② and all food chains become broken up if one of the links(接) disappears.
All life needs sunlight to live on. But only plants can use sunlight directly. Plants are “factories”.
They make food from sunlight, water and things in the soil and air. Plants feed all other living things. Animals can only use the suns energy after it has been changed into food by plants. Some animals feed directly on plants, others eat smaller animals. Meat-eating animals are only eating plants indirectly.
What about human beings? We are members of many food chains. We eat wheat, rice, vegetables, fruits and so on. We also eat meat and drink milk. ③But men often break up the food chains. They kill wild animals and make the rivers, lakes, and seas dirty. When these rivers, lakes and seas are polluted, the fish in them cannot be eaten. If men eat the fish, they will get strange diseases(疾病).
Each form of life is linked to all the others. Breaking the links puts all life in danger.根据（1）处的句子完成下面的句子。

Within IOC, Samaranch was a man much admired and sometimes loved, the Spanish who made the organization into one that is rich and so powerful.
No one doubted Samaranch’s ability to make something impossible come true. In 1981 he ensured(确保) that Seoul was elected to be the host of the 1988 Olympics. Remember, that was a time when the two Koreas were at war with each other. And because Samaranch helped swing(使改变) Spanish votes(投票) across to London, rather than to Paris, London was made host for the 2012. To China and the Chinese people, Samaranch was considered a great friend. Thanks to his efforts(努力) during his last term as IOC president, Beijing and China won the Olympics for the first time.

Very early on in that 2001 Moscow session he wanted the Belgian surgeon, Jacques Rogge, a newcomer to the Olympic Movement, to replace him as president, for China to host the 2008 Olympic Games and for his son, Juan Antonio Samaranch junior, to become an IOC member.
