Half a century has passed, but Shao Guohua never forgot the film ticket his teacher gave him that warmed his heart when he was a boy. Shao entered primary school in Zigong, Sichuan Province, in 1960. Back then, sports and watching movies were the students' favorite times.
Once, the school organized a trip to the movies for the students, and many of Shao's classmates signed up for it. But the boy had no money to buy the 0.05-yuan ticket. When his classmates lined up to enter the movie theater, the boy stood alone outside. Then Shao's Chinese teacher Mo Xunru saw him and bought a ticket for him.
He can't remember what movie it was, but Shao never stopped being thankful to his teacher. "Ms. Mo made forty or fifty yuan a month back then, so a 0.05-yuan ticket may not be a big deal for her. But for me, it moved me deeply," said 63-year-old Shao.
After graduating from primary school, Shao left his hometown along with his parents. In the following years, he tried to find his former teachers and classmates, but failed. It wasn't until the year that Shao visited his teacher Mo Xunru after 50 years.
"The reunion（重聚）was emotional, "said Shao， who is over sixty himself now. "The 89-year-old Mo did not hear well anymore and she couldn't recognize me at first sight, but she was still as kind as she used to be." Shao left 1,000 yuan to his teacher as well as a card which reads, "Dear Ms. Mo, wish you good health. Your student, Shao Guohua."
When you feel a sneeze（喷嚏）or cough coming on, covering your mouth prevents the spread of germs（细菌）. You probably knew that.
But how to cover your mouth is very important. You might use tissues（纸巾）, and put your used tissues into the bin. "If you don't have tissues, you should sneeze into your elbow, not your hand, even if you are used to doing that." The doctors advised.
"If somebody sneezes into his hands, those germs will be passed on to other people, or other objects that people touch." said Dr. Hill.
Germs are most commonly spread by sneezing and coughing. When they land on your hands, they are passed from hands to things like bills, door knobs（扶手）, lift buttons and other surfaces. At the same time, the people around you can touch them.
"The suggestion was taken seriously about 10 years ago. However, most people didn't pay much attention to it. That means the adults may have missed the advice. But children are often taught in school the right way to cough or sneeze." Dr. Benjamin said.
To be clear, people can't keep away from all the risks in this way, but it's the best choice. At the same time, we'd better wear masks （口罩）and often wash our hands. "Hand washing is one of the most important things people can do to keep healthy." Dr. Hill said.

Today, we still have some environmental problems. As a middle school student, we should do something to improve more environmental .
On the one hand, we ourselvesdestroy the environment, such as throwing the rubbish about. We canpart in some commonweal（公益）activities to plant more trees, for the trees are good to our environment. On the other hand, if someone does harm to the environment, like spitting on the ground or stepping on the grass, we can stop them from so, If there's a factory which destroys the environment, we can tell the relative（相关）department or the police about it.
All in all, we are students, we can still do a lot to protect our environment, and we should take action from now on.
