We are lucky to live in a rich country where we have many things. However, some of us sometimes 1 some things.
Electricity is one thing that we waste most. Lights, TVs, radios and other things are often kept on. We should turn them off when no one is using them. It 2 less than a second to do it. Anyhow, not wasting electricity 3 money, because we do not have to pay for the electricity we do not use.
The second thing that we often waste is water. 4 water is precious (珍贵的) and important, so it shouldn't be wasted. It is only a(n) 5 matter of turning off a tap. I am sure everybody can do it 6 if he wants to.
Another big waste is 7. My mother used to cook so much food that much of it was thrown away. I told her we had wasted so much food. She thought l was 8. And now she cooks only what we can 9 up.
It is not right to be wasteful. I find there is a simple way of not wasting things. That is to use only what we need and not to 10 what we do not need. In this way, we can stop being wasteful.
My name is Nick. I was born in 1970. I like collecting things. My favourite hobby is collecting coins because it has brought me a lot of fun. I started collecting coins when I was eight years old. Nowadays, I share this hobby with my children. It is not easy to get the children interested in coin collecting. However. I have my own ways to get my children to start collecting coins. Here are some ways I have used to get them to start.
Start small.
Many people, such as coin collectors, buy coins of great value. But children needn't consider the value. Let your children start with a set, such as five cents. This set is the easiest to collect and almost all of them can be found in coin shops.
_________________________
OK, you know the coin they are looking at is useless and common. But you should be excited at what they are looking at and encourage them to collect more.
Buy them a nice box.
Go shopping and choose a nice box for your children to keep their coins in. It will help them to keep their collections organized. Also, having a nice box will keep their excitement high. Every time they show their collections to their friends, they will feel great.
Give them one of yours.
Find a great coin in your collections and hand it down to your children. This coin needs to be special, or your children may have no interest in it.
Be patient.
It is impossible that all the children become interested in collecting coins in a short time. So, you should be patient and wait. Don't be so nervous! The most important thing you have to do is waiting, leading and helping.

Mr Brown is a famous doctor. He lives in Sydney with his wife and three children. His wife's father, Mr Black, lives with them too.
Mr Black is too old to work and he always sits in his chair near the bed all day; but in spring, if the weather is nice, he will sit outside. Sometimes, he even takes his chair into the garden if it is warm enough.
Recently, Mr Brown found that spending more than three hours playing outside every day can reduce a child's risk of becoming short-sighted. It challenges the people's belief that short-sightedness is caused by using electronic products or reading in weak light. Many people come to see Mr Brown and ask him why Mr Brown shows his research and believes that natural light has a special chemical which stops the eyeball from growing out of shape and prevents people from becoming short-sighted.
Mr Brown's oldest son, Andersen Brown, is twenty-seven. He is also a doctor like his father. He agrees with his father's idea and he suggests that everyone should spend some time outside. It doesn't matter that time is spent in travelling, playing sports outside or just sitting outside like his grandfather.
Mr Brown's oldest daughter, Wendy Brown, is twenty-four. She is a music teacher. She teaches students in a junior high school. She likes teaching very much. She thinks those teenagers are very lovely.
Mr Brown's youngest son, Mike Brown, is not old enough to go to work. He still goes to school. He is a very clever and hard-working boy. He is good at studying. He wants to be a scientist when he grows up.

Just move on! Never give up and you will see your wonderful future.
One day, a young lady was driving along the long straight road with her father. Unluckily, they came upon a storm. The young lady was very nervous, and she asked her father, "What should I do?" Her father answered, "Keep driving! Go, go, go." At the same time, the young lady saw some other cars and buses begin to pull over to the side because the storm was getting worse.
The young lady asked her father the same question again and her father told her to keep driving. But the daughter said. "Dad, I must pull over. Everyone is pulling over. I am afraid of the storm. It is terrible out there." Her father still told her not to give up and asked her not to look back. The young lady had no choice but driving.
After a few miles, they were on a dry land and the Sun was shining. The father said, "Now, pull over and get out of the car."
"But why now?" the daughter was confused and asked. The father said. "Look back at all the people that gave up. They are still in the storm. You didn't give up, so now your storm is over." The young lady stopped the car and got out of it. Thinking back what had happened, she felt relaxed and pleased.
It is true that sometimes, in our real life, if we keep going on, our "storm" will soon be over and the "Sun" will shine upon our face again. When you meet some troublesome things, you should try your best to keep going on. Just go on and never give up. What's more, pay more attention to yourself and do not stare at others too much. Sooner or later, you will get your own goals.
a. She stopped the car.
b. She saw some other cars and buses begin to pull over.
c. She wanted to pull over.
d. She felt relaxed and pleased.
e. She and her father came upon a storm.
I am a professor of sports and exercise, so I often deal with nervousness in my research with sports people. Actually, most people experience nervousness at some time or another.
If you are feeling anxious (焦虑的), my advice is to find the causes first. Make a list of those things that are making you nervous and work out which ones you can do something about. Focus all of your efforts on managing the causes that you can control.
Most people cannot tell the difference between controllable and uncontrollable causes, so things they can't control become a big reason for nervousness. Dealing with this is very important if people want to keep a healthy mind.
Simply try to accept the uncontrollable causes of nervousness. You might be worried about the weather on a big day, an accident or an attack on the train, or perhaps just things that other people are doing at work. The results may be very important but there is still no use worrying because you can't control any of these things. Accept that you can't control everything. Once you understand this, it becomes easier not to worry.
If a situation, such as swimming, is causing you to be anxious, try to face it as often as possible so that you can get used to it. It can often help to think about yourself doing the thing that makes you nervous—then close your eyes and imagine it going well. Imagine how the flight or job interview is going to happen so that you can get used to it. This will help you understand that the thing you fear most is probably not going to happen.
Most Australians live near the beach. In summer, going to the beach (be) their favourite activity. The beach is a place for family trips, for enjoying the water, taking photos or playing on the sand.
Many families that live near the beach join surf clubs. And surf clubs have activities for adults and also for children. The children's group (call) the "Nippers" that has running races on the sand, walking races in the shallow water as well as boarding and swimming races. The members get points for every event they go in, and at the end of the summer, everyone wins and gets awards. The best part of the events is that the members make friends have a lot of fun.
Australia has so many beaches and people go to the beach that it is necessary for them to have Life Savers on the beach. These people are good swimmers and are well trained to rush into the water to help anyone trouble. The Life Savers check the beach every day and mark a safe area with red and yellow coloured nags. People must swim between these flags, where the water is not moving (strong). The Life Savers are easy (see) because they wear special red and yellow coloured outfits.
Unluckily, Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world. To avoid (get) sunburnt (晒黑), you should keep me following in mind:
First, wear UV protective sunglasses and a hat whenever you go out.
Second, avoid the sun between 10 a. m. and 3 p. m. when it is at (it) strongest and always use sunblock (防晒霜).
