Question

閱讀理解: 閱讀下面短文, 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容, 選擇最佳選項(xiàng).　　The idea of summer time(夏令時(shí))started with an American named Benjamin Franklin (1706～1790). He explained how a lot of the money spent on candles(蠟燭)used for light (this was before electricity) could be saved if everyone woke up earlier and went to bed earlier. Even though Franklin's idea had a clear meaning, most people didn't want to get up earlier than they had to. Who would It was not until 1907 that an Englishman named William Willet came up with a way to make the sun set(落下)late. His idea was to turn clocks forward by 20 minutes on each of the four Sundays in April, for a total of 80 minutes. William's idea was laughed at, at first. But when World War I started in 1914, many countries decided they had to save energy for the war, and they put Willet's idea into use. Summer time has other uses. The more time you spend outside playing, the less time you are spending in front of the computer or the TV. These things also use energy. However, summer time sometimes causes problems. For example, China used it in 1986, but it was stopped in 1991. That was because the temperatures are quite different from North to South and time from East to West. If the people from northwest part of China use summer time, sometimes they have to get up to work when it is not very bright outside. That will cause some trouble for them. Still, most parts of the world do have summer time, and most people look forward to the extra hour of evening light. (1) Franklin gave the idea of summer time in order to ________.
