LIGHT POLLUTION: ONE CITY TURNS OFF ITS LIGHTS
On the evening of 26 September 2019, the streets of Geneva in Switzerland went dark. This
usually happens when there is a problem with the electricity, but this time the lights were turned off
to allow people to go outside and look at the stars. This is often impossible in a city because of
light pollution.
Light pollution is when light from streetlamps or buildings makes the night not as dark as it is.
There are many reasons why this is a problem. Animals sleep less because they think it is still
daytime. Birds that fly to warmer countries in the autumn need to see the moon and stars to find
their way, but light pollution makes this difficult. Insects and birds in cities often fly towards lights at
night, crash into buildings and die.

Light pollution is also bad for us. It can stop us sleeping and give us headaches. Also, we don’t
see the same sky that people in the past did. This means we almost never see one of the greatest
sights in the world: the millions of stars in our galaxy, the Milky Way. Hundreds of thousands of
people have never seen it in their lives.
However, it is not difficult to do a few things to reduce light pollution: we can all turn lights off when
we don’t need them and we can cover our windows with curtains. If there is less light pollution, we
will once again be able to enjoy the beauty of the night sky.
1. The lights were switched off in Geneva on 26 September ________.
A. because there was no electricity in the city B. so that people could go out of their houses
C. to make it easier for people to see the stars D. because people wanted to save electricity
2. Light pollution is a problem ________.
A. when the night is too dark B. when it isn’t light enough at night
C. when there is too much light at night D. when the night is made dark by natural light
3. The word “crash” in paragraph is CLOSEST in meaning to _______.
A. hit hard B. cause damage C. lose value D. stop working
4. The word "them" in paragraph 4 refers to _______.
A. light pollution B. we C. lights D. all
5. The writer says that ________.
A. there aren’t many things we can do to stop light pollution
B. it is easy to do something to improve the situation
C. we can enjoy looking at the stars if we cover our windows
D. nothing can be done to improve the situation
