We celebrated Earth Day in my city last week The idea of this special day began in

the 1960s when life was very different Few people talked or even thought about the

environment Most people had no idea how dirty our air and water were This attitude

bothered Gaylord Nelson, who was a senator in the US government, and he had an idea If

people around the world knew that the planet was in danger, they might work harder to save

it, so he just needed to get their attention The first Earth Day was just in the United States

but it led to events every year all around the world on April 22 or the nearest weekend,

depending on where you are

In my town, last Saturday afternoon lots of people rode their bikes from the park,

around the town together and back to the park, taking as much time as they possibly could, so

that the cars had to wait Then we talked to all the drivers in cars which just had one person in

them, to explain how wasteful that is and how much pollution it causes The idea was to

make people think about how much they use their cars In other places, people collected

plastic bags for a week and then made a pile of them in the town square You can do

anything as long as it makes people of all ages come together for a few hours and talk about

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42

Learning means acquiring knowledge or developing the ability to perform new behaviors It is common to think of learning as something that takes place in school, but much

of human learning occurs outside the classroom, and people continue to learn throughout their lives

Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to manipulate toys, food, and other objects They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells in their environments They learn how to interact with

their parents, siblings, friends, and other people important to their world When they enter school, children learn basic academic subjects such as reading, writing, and mathematics They also continue to learn a great deal outside the classroom They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished They learn social skills for interacting with other children After they finish school, people must learn to adapt to the many major changes that affect their lives, such as getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job

Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study of learning is important in many different fields Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other human-service workers need to understand how certain experiences change people’s behaviors Employers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles of learning to influence the behavior of workers, voters, and consumers

Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain Psychologists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this

storage takes place, and how the brain later retrieves knowledge when we need it In contrast,

psychologists who study learning are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes

as a result of a person’s experiences

There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex Simple forms of learning involve a single stimulus A stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a sight, sound, smell, touch, or taste In a form of learning known as classical conditioning, people learn to associate two stimuli that occur in sequence, such as lightning followed by thunder In operant conditioning, people learn by forming an association between a behavior and its consequences (reward or punishment) People and animals can also learn by observation – that is, by watching others perform behaviors More complex forms of learning

in clued learning languages, concepts, and motor skills
