In our daily life, much plastic package is used just once and then thrown away. According to a new study from the University of California, 9% of this is recycled, 12% is burnt and 79% goes to landfill. And because most plastic doesn't biodegrade, once it's in the ground, it stays there. (1)The study also shows that eight million tons of plastic waste are pouring into the sea every year.
Scientists have calculated the total amount of plastic ever made: 8.3 billion tons. That's as heavy as one billion elephants. And almost all of it has been made in the last 65 years.
(2)每个人都应该参与拯救地球. Protecting the environment is protecting ourselves. If the environment is taken good care of, we can have clean water and green mountains. (3)绿水青山或是金山银山.
What can we do as students? Just say no to single﹣use plastics like straws, cups and bags. Many people love to drink from a straw or use plastic to carry things, but they are really bad for the environment.
(4)Bring your own chopsticks if you're planning to eat outside. It can be hard to remember.
Just put a pair of chopsticks in your bag before you leave home.
You know you're going to need some water to get you through your day. So carry a bottle(or a cup) with you. (5)That will help you avoid plastic bottles.

The earth is much worse than before because of serious pollution: air pollution, soil pollution and water pollution. What should humans do to save the earth?
First, we should not produce too much rubbish. Rubbish takes up much space, so there will not be enough space for people to live in. What's worse, it will pollute soil and fewer plants can grow.
Next, we should keep the sea and rivers clean. Fish can't live in polluted water, so it may be impossible for us to enjoy so much seafood in the future.
Third, everyone should help to keep the air clean. Polluted air is harmful to our health.
To make the earth a better place, everyone should learn to love our planet from now on. And everyone should play a part in saving the earth.
How to save the earth
Three kinds of pollution: air pollution, (1) and water pollution |
|
First |
Don't produce (2) . It takes up much space. |

Get up and move around the office once every 60~90 minutes.
When you're busy with work, it's easy to forget the time. Set the alarm to remind(提醒) you to get up and take a walk around the office. You can use this time to fill up your water bottle or go to the bathroom.
Ask questions and discuss questions face to face.
Go to your co﹣worker's office to discuss questions face to face, rather than send an e﹣mail every time you have a question. This gives you a good excuse to move.

A Better Way to Start Your Day
Whether you love mornings or not, they're a fact of life. If you hate them, here are some ways to make them less awful. If you're a morning person, these tips can make mornings even better!
(1) . Be sure to get an adequate (足够的) amount of sleep. Most people need seven or eight hours of sleep to feel their best during the day. If you must get up at 5 or 6 a.m., go to bed early to get your eight hours. Turn off the TV, computer or smart phone and hit the hay. When you get enough sleep, you won't feel sleepy. You can get out of bed on time. That will make your day better, too.
Turn on some music in the morning. Play any tunes you like. It doesn't matter. (2) .You'll feel much happier as you start the day.
(3) . As your mother said, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Your body is out of fuel (燃料) by morning. You need some to help you control your blood﹣sugar. That affects your mood(情绪) and energy for the day.
Don't watch TV or read a newspaper first thing in the morning.Your brain is fresh and ready to work on new things. Don't fill it up with negative (消极的) information about the world and its problems. Instead, read something inspiring(鼓舞人的) or uplifting.(4) .
Avoid answering QQ or WeChat first thing. Use that precious (宝贵的) morning time to get some exercise, eat breakfast and enjoy life. Check QQ or WeChat last before you leave your house. Then you'll only have time to check the most important messages.(5) .
Every day is a new day﹣enjoy it!
A. A good breakfast can make your day. B. Your day will start better if you take time for the important things. C. A good morning starts the night before. D. Just turn on something that makes you feel good. E. This will give you positive thoughts to start your day. |

Chinese customers are generous(慷慨的)and friendly. In restaurants, often too much food is ordered and served. So when eating out,we are supposed to exclude(排除)the food in the menu if we don't plan to eat it. And order smaller servings in restaurants and take home what we cannot finish.

Wake up,boys and girls! Put up your hand if you try to repair your tired body by sleeping in(睡懒觉)on weekends. A new study says the habit might not be a good idea for your health.
The ten﹣day study came out in the magazine "Current Biology". Volunteers were divided into three groups. The first group enjoyed nine hours' sleep each night. The second group was allowed to sleep only five hours each night. The third group was given five hours' sleep Monday through Friday.(1) But they were put back on the short sleep schedule the next Monday.
Both the second and third groups ate more snacks at night and put on weight.They also saw a decrease (减少) in insulin sensitivity (胰岛素敏感性), a warning sign for diabetes (糖尿病).Researchers have long known a lack (缺乏) of sleep can increase health risks.(2)
"Even though people in the third group slept as much as they could on the weekend,it was not enough," said Dr Kenneth Wright, who led the study. "When they went back to the short sleep schedule the next week, their body failed to control blood sugar. (3)
So what should we do if sleeping in over the weekend is not a good choice?(4) Cut nut the "sleep stealers" such as watching television shows or spending time on computers or mobile phones. Always remember:Getting enough sleep is as important as having good caring habits or doing exercise regularly.

But it was surprising that the third group had been worse than the second one. D. Dr Wright gave advice in two words: sleep longer. E.

A lot of people play sports, but very few people become sports professionals(专业人员). If sports aren't going to be your future, then why should you play them? Why should you train every day? Why should you work hard and feel sore(酸痛) the next day? Wouldn't it be better to forget sports and only pay attention to your lessons?
There are actually a lot of good reasons to play sports. First of all, sports are a great way to exercise. Exercising keeps you healthy and strong. It also helps you stay in a good state. When you exercise, your body produces endorphins(内啡肽). Endorphins give you more energy and make you feel happier.
Sports are important for everyone, but they are especially important for young people. They teach young people about winning and losing. Also, they teach young people how to communicate and work as a team. For example, when you play football, you must learn how to communicate with your teammates and work together. Sports teach young people to respect their coaches, teammates, and people they fight against as well.
Many reports say that sports help young people stay out of trouble. If a young person plays sports, he or she is less likely to have problems. This is because sports teach people about rules. They also teach people that if they work hard, they might succeed.
Another good way of sports is that they make people leave their houses. These days, a lot of people spend too much time watching television and playing video games. When you play sports, you go outside and exercise in the sun. You take in fresh air. All of these things are important.
You're probably not going to become a sports professional, but that doesn't matter. Sports will help you become a better and happier person. Sports will help you make friends and stay healthy. Here is another good reason to play sports: Sports are fun.
