Tony: Hello, everyone. I am Tony, the group leader. These are my group members, Betty, Daming and Lingling. As we know, Jinhua is a beautiful city with a long history. But you may not know the two longest corridor bridges(廊桥) in China are here. They are Xijin Bridge and Shuxi Bridge. So we chose these two bridges as our project target(项目任务). Here is our presentation.

Betty: I’ll introduce the process. First we made a plan about the time we would need and how to do the project. It took us three weekends to do online searching, visit the bridges, interview the local people and make the leaflet.

Daming: After collecting all the information and doing the necessary study, we have made them into a leaflet as our product. Let’s take a look.

The two bridges are made of wood. They are called “sister bridges” because they look really similar. Xijin Bridge, the longest bridge, is in Yongkang and the second longest is in Wuyi called Shuxi Bridge.

Lingling: What we’d like to share with you most is our gains and feelings. We are all amazed by the wisdom(智慧) of the ancient bridge builders and feel so proud of our hometown.

Tony: Now, what do you think of our project? Your comments and suggestions are always welcome. Thank you.

One evening，Grandad said，"I once had a friend called Day.His first name was Henry，but everyone called him Happy.Happy Day made a very good living.He had been to many places and when he came to a place that he liked，he opened a pet shop and began selling African Ghost Fish.

"According to Happy，these are the world's only invisible fish，and they're especially good pets because they don't need any food.Once a year，the female Ghost Fish lays eggs.Immediately after that，and if everything is completely quiet，she becomes visible.But in a blink（眨眼）of an eye，she's gone again.If you see her，you're extremely lucky for she's the most beautiful creature alive.

"When Happy told his customers this story，his tanks of fish sold very quickly.When they were completely sold out，Happy usually left for another town. "

"Was that because his customers were not satisfied？" We asked.

"Not at all， "Grandad said. "His customers were completely satisfied.Many people told him that they got great pleasure from their invisible fish.It was so relaxing.A few even claimed that they had seen a female Ghost Fish，and it was truly unforgettable.Yes，Happy was a clever man."

"Can you tell us some more about him？" We said.

"Not now， "said Grandad. "I'm tired，and I want a nap（打盹）.Why don't you children go and watch the tank of Ghost Fish in my room？Remember，if you sit quietly and watch really closely，you might even see a female. "

As we rushed excitedly from the room，I heard Grandad whisper， "Thank you，Happy. "

I wonder what he meant.

Reading Expression

In China, more and more people have realized the seriousness of climate（气候） change. Many young people have been living a low-carbon（低碳） life.

Zheng Xiyu is one of them. She has been trying to reduce her carbon footprint. Every morning, she takes a bus to her office and it takes her about 40 minutes. But Zheng has been thinking of changing this. She wants to try a different means（方式） of transport—cycling. Riding a bicycle to work, the lady says, takes about the same amount of time as taking a bus. “However, it’s better for the environment and my health.” she says.

Professor Li Lin has also been leading a low-carbon lifestyle. Her office uses energy-saving lights. These lights go off themselves when they are not needed. This has saved a large amount of electricity. Another way to save energy is to double-print the paper. Professor Li says small actions like these are important for protecting the environment. “Let’s say you have saved one ton of paper. That’s about two and a half tons of CO2.” Professor Li says.

Lin Hui always chooses products with a longer life when he shops. He says this helps to reduce waste. Two years ago, Lin and his friends set up an environment website, where he wanted to give some advice on saving energy and protecting the environment.

It’s easy to change to a low-carbon lifestyle. Everybody can do this and make a difference.
