听力原文: Earth Hour is a global event organized by World Wide Fund for Nature. (29) It is held on the last Saturday of March annually, asking households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights and other electrical appliances for one hour to raise awareness towards the need to take action on climate change.
"Earth Hour" began in Sydney in 2007. On March 31st, 2007, 2.2 million residents of Sydney participated by turning off all non-essential lights. As an added bonus, Sydney residents joining the movement said they could see more stars than ever during that night. After that, "Earth Hour" spread around the world at an amazing speed. In 3 years, it has grown into one of the world's largest joint actions dealing with climate change.
Earth Hour 2009 was from 8: 30 p. m. to 9: 30 p. m. local time, March 28, 2009. (30) 88 countries and more than 4,000 cities joined Earth Hour 2009, ten times more cities than Earth Hour 2008 had. Among the participants in 2009 was, for the first time, the United Nations headquarters in New York City. The U. N. conservatively estimates that its participation will save $102 in energy.
Reports show that (31) the Philippines topped the Earth Hour participation as 647 cities and towns or over 15 million Filipinos were estimated to have joined in the hour-long lights-off at 8:30 - 9:30 PM local time. (31) This was followed by Greece with 484 cities and towns participating, and Australia with 309.

I was a bit 【34】______ so I called Spot and we both hid 【35】______ a bush where we could see but not be 【36】______ . After a few moments, a straw hat came drifting down the river, followed by an oar, a picnic basket and 【37】______ oar. Then came the rowing boat itself, but it was 【38】______ upside down! A few seconds later my dad and Auntie June came running 【39】______ the river bank, both wet 【40】______ . Spot started barking so I came out of hiding and said hello. My dad got really angry 【41】______ me for not trying to catch the boat as it went past. Luckily, 【42】______ , the boat and both the oars had been caught by an overhanging tree a little further downstream, but not the hat or picnic basket. So I had to let them 【43】______ my sandwiches.

Among the devastating consequences of AIDS has 【21】______ its epidemic spread in the developing world. The disease has caused 【22】______ suffering, debilitation, loss of life and disruption of family, social and economic 【23】______ Because of the considerable expense and logistical difficulty in providing antiviral drugs to populations 【24】______ with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus 【25】______ the world, the biomedical community is looking towards vaccines to help solve this compelling problem.
The search for an AIDS vaccine began more than 15 years ago with great 【26】______ and high expectations. With the 【27】______ of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) as the cause of AIDS, it seemed that a 【28】______ would follow closely behind. But despite a large concerted effort, the problem has proven more difficult than 【29】______ , and progress has not 【30】______ the 【31】______ hopes. Here I review the 【32】______ scientific obstacles confronting the development of an effective HIV vaccine, and I consider 【33】______ strategies to overcome these obstacles.
It is instructive to consider the circumstances that have 【34】______ to past successes in vaccine development. The smallpox vaccine is 【35】______ the most successful inventions in the history of 【36】______ Why, 200 years ago, without the benefit of modern biotechnology, did the smallpox vaccine succeed so readily while an AIDS vaccine 【37】______ elusive? The answer lies in an experiment of nature that provided, to an astute observer, a clear direction for smallpox vaccine development. In this classic story of 【38】______ discovery, Edward Jennet noticed that milk maids who had previously contracted cowpox were 【39】______ to smallpox infection. This observation was the critical event leading to the finding that the cowpox virus cross-reacted immunologically with the smallpox virus and could 【40】______ be used to protect against smallpox.
