A big project to fight plastic pollution in the UK began on 15 May. In the first Million Mile Beach Clean, around 50, 000 volunteers cleaned up beaches across the UK 1.
The Million Mile Beach Clean will go on all year round. The aim (目标) is for 100, 000 volunteers each to walk 10 miles and clean places they love along the way. At least eight 2 pieces of plastic go into oceans each day. They can take hundreds of years to break down. The project wants more people to play a role 3 protecting the environment. Besides beaches, people can pick up plastic on streets, in 4 and along local waterways. There are nearly 600 clean-ups taking place and anyone can join in with them. People can even start 5 own "mini clean" with fewer than 10 people. The project's website has a list of all the clean-ups around the country. It also explains 6 you can start one in your own community.
George, 7 11-year-old volunteer from Bristol, said that he's been helping to clean up his local river. "It 8 me sad to see rubbish polluting the river. That's why I'm looking forward to 9 part in the clean-up," he said. "I also like to compete with my sister to see who can pick up the most rubbish and fill the 10bags!"

There are many reasons to enjoy drinking tea. However, you should let the hot tea cool down a little before you drink it. Why? A new study published in the International Journal of Cancer gives the answer.
"Many people enjoy drinking tea, coffee or other hot drinks. However, according to our report, drinking very hot tea can increase the risk of esophageal cancer (食道癌), so you'd better wait until hot drinks cool down before drinking," the lead writer of the study, Dr. Farhad Islami of the American Cancer Society, said.
For the study, Islami and his team followed more than 50, 000 people aged between 40 and 75 years old. They found 0.7 percent of those people had esophageal cancer.
The National Cancer Institute reported that about 17, 290 Americans had esophageal cancer in a year, and that only 19 percent of sick people survived. However, five years later, they died.
The scientists found that drinking 700 ml drinks (about three cups) every day or more at a higher temperature (60℃ or hotter) would have a 90 percent higher risk of esophageal cancer, compared with people drinking the same amount at a temperature below 60℃.

When I was still studying in China, my school held a singing competition. I entered it because I really loved singing. I sang with a girl named Jenny. She's one of my best friends.
Unluckily, I was nervous and I forgot the lyrics for a moment when we were singing. I was standing on the stage, looking pale on the face. We lost the competition. I felt terribly sorry, but Jenny tried to comfort me by saying "There will be another chance".
After about a week, our school's art festival began. I decided to take part in it. The first person I thought of to join me was Jenny, although I wasn't sure if she would like to. But while I was asking other people to join me, she said she would join as well. We decided to sing the song See You Again at the festival because I would leave for the UK after I finished the performance. We prepared for it for a long time.
Finally, the day of the festival arrived. As I walked into the classroom, the class started clapping (鼓掌) for me. Someone had written "Sally, Come On!" on the blackboard. My classmates gave cards to me. After I completed my performance, everyone cheered for me.
It was a really unforgettable and touching afternoon. I wanted to thank Jenny, who didn't give up on me when I felt down. I wanted to thank my friends for helping me, and I really wanted to thank all of my classmates who were with me in my two middle school years as well.

Zhang Lei, 27, bought his grandfather a new smart phone as a gift. But his grandfather still uses the phone just for calling. "He said other functions (功能) are strange to him," said Zhang.
Although China has already had more than 900 million Internet users, among them, those aged 60 and above make up just less than 7 percent. Most of the old people mainly use the smart phones just for making calls. Other services are still difficult to them.
