Soon，the towns of（4） 　    　（东部的）China were rushing by.I saw my wife smiling and（5） 　     　（指向）to a coin she had balanced on the table.She took another coin and balanced it next to the first，and then another，until she had a（6） 　     　（行）of coins.They stood there on the table for more than 20 minutes before one finally fell over.

In the summer between my first year and second year in college，I was invited to be an instructor （辅导员）at a high school camp．On the first day，when we were dancing and playing games，I noticed a boy under the tree who was small and thin．His shyness made him appear weak．I walked towards him，introduced myself and invited him to join in the activities and meet some new people．He quietly replied，"No，I really don't want to do this．"I could understand that he was in a new world but I knew it wouldn't be right to force him，either．Actually，the boy didn't need a close talk but a friend．

At lunch the next day，I was leading camp songs when 1saw the boy under the tree sitting alone．I tried again with the same invitation，but he refused once again．That evening I was told the boy's name was Tommy．Then I asked the campers to pay special attention to the boy and spend time with him when they could．

The days went by and the time came when we had to leave．We held a big，warm party to celebrate the closing of the camp．All the campers shared their wonderful moments．To my surprise.1found the boy from under the tree dancing joyfully with two girls．I couldn't believe it was the same person．

In October of my second year，I received a phone call from Tommy's mother．She told me that Tommy was hit by a car and killed．I offered my deep sadness．The mother said："'Tommy mentioned you so many times．I want you to know that he went back to school and made new friends with confidence．You made a difference for Tommy during his last months．"

At that moment，I realized how easy it was to give a bit of yourself every day．You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else．I hope that everyone can pay attention to their own"boy under the tree"．

    Recently， the result of the national reading survey has been announced and it paints a brighter future for reading habits in the Internet times． Last year，21，270 men from 55 cities answered the survey． It showed that the Chinese people's reading rate increased slightly over the year before． Reading rate means the percentage of citizens regularly reading books， newspapers and digital （数字）reading materials．

    The survey shows that the daily reading time and yearly reading number of paper books，printed newspapers and magazines have dropped， while digital reading has continuously increased．Every day Chinese people use different digital devices like mobile phones， personal computers or iPads for 100.41 minutes on average （平均），15.5 percent higher than the year before．

    According to the survey， Chinese people's reading habits have changed because mobile phones provide more chances to get different kinds of reading materials on digital platforms． More than 50 percent of the Chinese people who were interviewed prefer digital reading， mostly on mobile phones．

    Another interesting result is that an increasing number of people like to listen to audiobooks（有声读物）．More than 30 percent of the people who answered the survey listen to audiobooks，higher than the year before． It may have something to do with the way people go to and from work﹣many people in the countryside drive or take public transport for long hours， which leads to the greater need for audiobooks．

    People's reading habits are changing with social changes． In my opinion， the relevant authorities （相关机构） should pay attention to it and shouldn't fall behind．

Environmental protection is one of the hottest topics nowadays. It was also something that ancient Chinese paid great attention to. In fact, the world’s earliest environmental protection idea, ministry（部门）and law were all born in China. How did the ancient Chinese protect the environment?

The world’s earliest idea of “managing state affairs（政事）through environmental protection”

Xunzi, a famous thinker in the Warring States Period, came up with the idea of “managing state affairs through environmental protection”. He wrote in his book that vegetation（植被）should be protected well by humans.

Guan Zhong, a government officer 400 years ahead of Xunzi, was also an environmental protection expert. He said “a king who cannot protect his vegetation is not doing a good job”.

The world’s earliest “environmental protection ministry”

Nine ministries set up by Shun, an ancient Chinese emperor, included “Yu”（虞）, an environmental protection ministry. The first “Yu” leader was Boyi, an environmental protection expert. He invented wells so people could drink clean water. He knew a lot about animals and also called for animal protection.

The world’s earliest “environmental protection law”

Over 4,000 years ago, Dayu, an ancient Chinese water-control expert and also an emperor, made a rule, not allowing people to cut down trees in March or catch fish in June, because it was the time when they grew quickly.

Almost 3,000 years ago, Tianlü, the first environmental protection law, appeared in Qin. It recorded many ancient environmental protection rules. Two of them were interesting: firstly, rivers should not be blocked （堵塞）; secondly, grass and trees should not be burned to be fertilizer（肥料） except for summer. The second one is inspiring even for today. It can help to keep air clean and fresh.
