Until the 1960s, people in the United States did not particularly pay attention to the natural
environment. Rather, Americans were more focused on the economy. However, with an increase
in oil spills, polluting factories and power plants, and the loss of wilderness, suddenly people
realizes they shared common values. They called for a national organization to protect the
environment. Accordingly, on April 22, 1970, the first Earth DAY, 20 MILLION Americans took to
the streets, parks and auditoriums to demonstrate for a healthy, sustainable environment.
Thousands of colleges and universities organized protests against the deterioration of the
environment.
The first Earth Day led to the creation of the United States Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) and the passage of the Clean Air, Clean Water, and Endangered Species Acts. President
Richard Nixon and Congress worked together to established the EPA in response to the
growing public demand for cleaner water, air and land. Prior to the establishment of the EPA,
the national government was not structured to make coordinated attack on the pollutants,
which harm human health and degrade the environment. The EPA was assigned the
daunting task of repairing the damage already done to the natural environment.

Our criminal justice system today is a disgrace. Modern day criminals have more rights than an
honest citizen ever imagined were written into our U.S. Constitution. Murderers and rapists are
typically set free on legal technicalities and seldom face any jail time. While that scum is back to
work finding new victims, the pleas of those they have killed, maimed, or violated go unheard.
Until we begin giving some real consideration to people who obey the law, instead of those who
break it, things are going to continue getting worse.

a. paragraph
MAIN IDEA
If ' miso' means to hate, then misoneism mean _____________ of new things.
Select one:
a. hatred
1) In starting our study of the English language, we must know something about its beginnings or
origins. The English language has its beginnings in many other languages that go far back into
ancient times.
2) We must start our study as far back as the invasion of two German tribes, the Angles and the
Saxons, into Great Britain. This invasion occurred about four hundred years after the birth of
Christ. These barbaric tribes overran the island of Great Britain and introduced a new way of life.
They also introduced new words into the language that later became the English we speak and
write today. From their Germanic gods, for example, come the days of the week: Tui, the god of
war (Tuesday); Woden, father of the gods (Wednesday); Thor, god of Thunder (Thursday).
3) Then we must comprehend or understand how the invasion of the Normans into Great
Britain- known as the land of the Angles, or England – also changed our mother tongue. The
Normans were from France. In 1066 they conquered the Angles and the Saxons and made them
slaves. The old English spoken by the Angles and Saxons survived; however, some French words
were added. These new words helped to make our language richer. From these early
Frenchmen, for example, the word porc means “pig”. Today, we use the word pork, however,
only when we speak of the flesh of a pig. This is because the early French Normans, as the
masters of England, saw the animal only when it was cooked and served to them on the dinner
table. The Angle and Saxon slaves, however, who tended the animal while it was alive, called it
pig. So even now the flesh of this particular animal when eaten is pork, but the animal itself is
known as a pig.
4) And, in turn, we must understand or comprehend how the French language brought to
England by the Norman conquerors had its roots in the ancient languages of Greece and Rome.
Many of the words borrowed from the Normans at this time, for example showed the
relationship of a ruling class to its subjects. Most of these words can be traced all the way back
to Latin. The word conqueror itself comes from the old French word conquerre which, in turn,
comes from the Latin word conquarere, which simply means “to win”.
5) Only by a brief study of these chronological events and their influences can we comprehend
why the English language we speak today is so rich in meaning.
