An hour for our Earth
Get ready for a candlelight hour from 8：30 pm to 9：30 pm tonight. Spend the hour in the moon light and the stars or at a torchlit party， or walk into one of the many restaurants that offer special candlelit dinners. Or use the hour to do a bit of soulsearching.
Just one hour of darkness for us could make a world of difference to the environment. We have learned to take energy for granted without realizing how it benefits us every minute of the day， and of course night. We sit in welllit airconditioned homes and offices， using computers and countless laborsaving appliances. We enjoy the comforts of modern society without thinking about the consequences of our actions on the environment.
The Earth Hour， initiated by World Wide Fund for Nature （WWF） in 2007， unites the whole world on the last Saturday of March to save energy and reduce carbon emission. People across the world volunteer to turn off nonessential lights—unnecessary neon signs and decorative lights， TV sets and other electronic devices—for one hour. WWFs goal is to help shift the world to a lowcarbon economy to reduce global warming. As WWF says， Earth Hour is a reminder to us that planet Earth is our home and we should reduce the impact of our energy system on that planet. Billions of people in more than 130 countries are expected to turn off their lights on Saturday evening to signify their fight against climate change， which is happening faster than predicted. People in China， too， observe Earth Hour. People in 33 Chinese cities turned off their lights for an hour in 2017. This year， millions of Chinese are expected to turn off their lights and electronic devices for an hour on Saturday.
We hope the Earth Hour is not a onetime event but will open the door to sustainable energy programs. With that hope in mind， lets enjoy 60 minutes in the dark！

A. we know the benefit of energy

Happiness can be described as a positive mood and a pleasant state of mind. According to recent polls （民意調查）， sixty to seventy percent of Americans consider themselves to be moderately happy and one in twenty persons feels very unhappy. Psychologists have been studying the factors that contribute to happiness. It is not predictable， nor is a person in an apparently ideal situation necessarily happy. The ideal situation may have little to do with his actual feelings.
A good education and income are usually considered necessary for happiness. Though both may contribute， they are only chief factors if the person is seriously undereducated or actually suffering from lack of physical needs.
The rich are not likely to be happier than the middleincome group or even those with very low incomes. People with college educations are somewhat happier than those who did not graduate from high school， and it is believed that this is mainly because they have more opportunities to control their lives. Yet people with a high income and a college education may be less happy than those with the same income and no college education. “Shes fond of giving orders，” Lucy complained. “Shes turning everyone against me，” Lucy muttered. “Shes mean， shes bad at math， shes terrible at kickball. And... shes fat.”
“Excuse me，” I said， struggling for calm. “What did you just say？”
“She is fat，” Lucy mumbled into her bowl.
“We are going upstairs，” I said， my voice cold， “We are going to discuss this.” And up we went.
Id spent the nine years since her birth getting ready for this day， the day wed have to have the conversation about this horrible word. I knew exactly what to say to the girl on the receiving end of the teasing （嘲笑）， but in all of my imaginings， it never once occurred to me that my daughter would be the one who used the F word—Fat.
My daughter sat on her bed， and I sat beside her. “How would you feel if someone made fun of you for something that wasnt your fault？” I began. “She could stop eating so much，” Lucy mumbled， mouthing the simple advice a thousand doctors and well-meaning friends and relatives have given overweight women for years.
“Its not always that easy，” I said. “Everyones different in terms of how they treat food”. Lucy looked at me， waiting for me to go on. I opened my mouth， then closed it. Should I tell her that， in teasing a womans weight， shes joined the long， proud tradition of critics who go after any woman with whom they disagree by starting with “youre ugly” and ending with “no man would want you and there must be something wrong with any man who does”？ Should I tell her I didnt cry when someone posted my picture and commented， “Im sorry， but arent authors who write books marketed to young women supposed to be pretty？”
Does she need to know， now， that life isnt fair？ I feel her eyes on me， waiting for an answer I dont have. Words are my tools. Stories are my job. Its possible shell remember what I say forever， and I have no idea what to say.
So I tell her the only thing I can come up with that is absolutely true. I say to my daughter， “I love you， and there is nothing you could ever do to make me not love you， But Im disappointed in you right now. There are plenty of reasons for not liking someone. What she looks like isnt one of them.”
Lucy nods， tears on her cheeks. “I wont say that again，” she tells me， and I pull her close， pressing my nose against her hair. We are both quiet， and I dont know if I have said the right thing. So as we sit there together， shoulder to shoulder， I pray for her to be smart. I pray for her to be strong. I pray for her to find friends， work she loves， a partner who loves her， and for the world not to deprive （剝夺） her of the things that make her who she is， for her life to be easy， and for her to have the strength to handle it when its not. And still， always， I pray that she will never struggle as Ive struggled， that weight will never be her cross to bear. She may not be able to use the word in our home， but I can use it in my head. I pray that she will never get fat.
