Are our televisions and game systems more important to us than where we live? Where shall we continue to live，until the end of time?The earth is our home and cannot be replaced.We must take care of it.We have come up with so much technology that limits us instead of helping us.Take that game system we run to repair.What does it do? It occupies kids time！The earth has already given kids plenty of entertainment in the forms of fields and hills，forests and plains，water and land.However，instead of using what the earth has given us，and helping kids by giving them exercise as they run around，we decide to ruin kids minds with game systems that glue them to the screen for hours，and make them ignore their homework and chores.We have polluted this earth by making these things which do not even help us in any way!We have already messed up this world，we have ruined the air，water，and animals that it has so willingly provided for us.We need to stop this destruction of life and bring back the world we had before.It will not be easy，but everybody can help！What about something as simple as turning the lights off when you leave a room? Recycling what can be recycled? Picking up litter? Donating money to an environmental organization? None of these things are very hard.We cant just always say，“Oh，the earth is a mess.Ah，well，those big companies that are polluting so much can stop and fix it.”Instead，we need to help out.Its not only those big companies；its everyday things that we do too that are ruining the earth.So stop and think about what you can do to make a difference to our world!【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文。地球是人类赖以生存的家园，作者呼吁人们珍惜资源，爱护环境，保护地球。1Why does the author mention televisions and game systems in Paragraph 1?ATo make people better aware of the urgency to the protection of the earth.BTo expose the great harm done to the earth by too much technology waste.CTo show the relationship between overuse of those things with early death.DTo remind people to spend less on them and use the saved money in a wiser way.A解析：推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句“Are our televisions and game systems more important to us than where we live?
