I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Cities and towns in 35 countries took part. The year 2012 saw 6,950 towns and cities in more than 152 countries took part in Earth Hour movement. Last year 7,000 towns and cities in more than 154 countries took part in Earth Hour. This year, WWF is calling for people across the world to take part in Earth Hour 2014 - the biggest switch-off in history. For the eighth year, people are being asked to turn off their lights for one hour to call attention to the issue of climate change. The WWF's organizers say climate change is one of the greatest threats facing wildlife and nature. They also say when it comes to save energy and money, big changes start with small steps like turning out the lights. Earth Hour supporter Jamie Oliver has some great ideas of his own for helping the environment: "We can all make simple changes to help, like always choosinghigher-welfare meat, and even trying to have a couple of meat-free days a week. More little steps, such as taking a shower instead of a bath, leaving the car behind and walking to work, not leaving electrical appliances on standby and so on are the beginning of a low carbon lifestyle and a healthier world. This year, Earth Hour is asking people to take the movement "beyond the hour". Earth Hour is a call to stand up and get involved. We hope everyone will join us in turning off for a brighter future. Question: The best title of the passage is _ . Options: A: Climate Change: the greatest threat B: WWF: a global charity C: Earth Hour: small steps big difference. D: Climate Action: a global call

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce( )back. But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How? Don't look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special. Don't let other people set goals for you. Only you know what is best to yourself. Don't give up when you still have something to give. _ Don't be afraid of difficulties. Be brave! Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you have been, but also where you are going. Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure you can always carry easily.
