Understanding cultures：World Environment Day
1 Read the passage and answer the questions.
On June 5 each year，our class celebrates a special event：World Environment Day (WED). For over 50 years，the United Nations has encouraged people from all over the world to take care of the environment.
Each year，WED has a different theme that focuses on some of the most serious environmental problems of our time.

The theme this year in our school was reducing plastic pollution. First， we went outside and collected garbage left on the school grounds. Then，our teacher helped us brainstorm ways to use less plastic in the classroom.
“We could bring our own lunch boxes instead of plastic bags，” said Li Ming.
“We can use colouring pencils instead of plastic highlighters and buy school things that come in cardboard boxes instead of plastic ones，” suggested Wang Mei.

Year Theme
Self-check
I can understand the importance of protecting the environment：
Plastic pollution affects the natural beauty of the environment
Plastic will stay in the ground for years and pollute the soil，water，and plants.
I can talk about the causes of environmental pollution：
That man over there is leaving his garbage on the beach.
People burn things like gas，oil，and coal. They cut down trees and create a lot of waste.
I can write about environmental problems：
Global warming affects everything on the planet.
I can take action to protect the environment：
Bring your own shopping bag instead of using a plastic one.
Turn off devices we aren′t using like TVs and lights.
Improvement needed：
Hand in hand
In nature′s embrace，we find our home，
With forests green and oceans that foam.
Let′s join hands，together we′ll stand，
Protecting the earth，hand in hand.
Planting trees，creating a haven，
For birds to sing and skies to brighten.
Reduce，reuse，recycle our way，
Preserving nature for each new day.
1. “We can use colouring pencils instead of plastic highlighters and buy school things that come in cardboard boxes instead of plastic suggested Wang Mei.“我們可以使用彩色鉛筆代替塑料熒光筆，并且購買用硬紙盒包裝的而不是塑料盒包裝的學校用品。”王梅建議道。(教材第 110 頁，1)
suggest [動詞] 建議，提議
suggest 的常見用法如下：
① suggest sth. (to sb.) 意為“(向某人) 建議/提議某事”。
I′ll suggest a new plan to him. 我將向他建議一個新計劃。
② suggest doing sth. 意為“建議做某事”。
I suggest leaving now. 我建議現在就離開。
③ “suggest＋that 從句”意為“建議······”，從句應用虛擬語氣，即從句謂語用“should＋動詞原形”，should 可以省略。
I suggest that we should recycle these books.
我建議我們循環使用這些書。
[拓展]
① suggest 作動詞，還可意為“暗示，表明”。此時，其后的賓語從句不用虛擬語氣。
Are you suggesting that I′m fat
你言下之意是我胖
② suggestion 作可數名詞，意為“建議”。
— The sun is shining，and you′d better take an umbrella
when you go out.
陽光明媚，你出門時最好帶把傘。
— OK，It′s a useful suggestion.
好的。這是一個有用的建議
2. But if everyone makes at least one small change each day，imagine how the world will be in a year，five years，or twenty years! 但是如果每個人每天至少作出一個小小的改變，想象一下一年、五年或二十年后的世界會是什么樣子! (教材第 111 頁，1)
in＋時間段
“in＋時間段”在此處表示“在(某段時間) 之后”，常與一般將來時連用，對其提問常用 how soon (多久以后)。
— How soon will your mother finish cooking dinner？
你媽媽多久之后會做好晚飯
— In an hour.
一小時之后。
[辨析]
“in＋時間段”與“after＋時間段/時間點”
in＋時間段 ①表示從現在起一段時間之后，通常用于一般將來時
②表示“在一段時間之內”
after＋時間段/時間點 ①“after＋時間段”表示以過去為起點，一段時間之后，常用于過去時態相當于“時間段＋later”
②“after＋時間點”表示在某一時刻后，常用于一般將來時
