Numbers in different countries may have different meanings. In China, some people think that some numbers bring them1 . Take "8" for example, the Chinese pronunciation of the number "8" has almost the 2 sound as that of the Chinese character "发[fɑː]", which means making a fortune. So, many Chinese people spend a lot of 3 to get their telephone numbers or car numbers to include this number "8". They believe without any doubt(疑问)that the number will 4 them money.
5 , others don't believe that numbers have anything to do with good luck. They think such an idea is only a superstitious (迷信的) belief. A number is one thing, and good luck is6 . They will ask, "7 can you ever have any good luck simply because of some lucky numbers, even if you don't work hard, don't have good opportunities and don't get along well with the people around you?"
As for me, I8 with the latter (后者) . Clearly, lucky numbers are only a kind of superstition. Perhaps it holds true for some cases(情况), but often it does not. Numbers can 9 bring good luck to a person at all and our fortune is in our own hands. So, everyone can have a good fortune only if he tries his best. Let's always remember "Opportunities are only for the 10 mind" and "No pains, no gains. "

Many Chinese students think American students enjoy more freedom than them at school. But American schools also have their rules. If the students break the rules, they will be punished, too.
On the first day of a new term, 128 students of Morton High School were sent home for wearing the wrong clothes. There are about 1200 students in the school. Usually only 20 students break the school dress rule every day. So the headmaster said it was the worst new term she had ever seen.
At Morton High School, students' favorite clothing such as baggy (宽大的) trousers, low-necked shirts and tank tops (紧身短背心) are not allowed in classrooms. Some students think they have the right to choose what to wear, but the headmaster doesn't think so. "I'd be supportive if half the students were sent home, because 99% will get the message that our school is for education. " "Freedom" does not mean "free of restrictions (约束)". That is to say there is no total freedom in the world, no matter in the US or in China.
Almost every Chinese person can recite the two lines of the famous poem, "Every grain on the plate comes from hard work(谁知盘中餐,粒粒皆辛苦). " But sadly, many of us don't actually get the real meaning of these lines: Don't waste food.
A CCTV program, News One Plus One, reported that the food Chinese people throw away every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year.
Do we have too much food? Of course not. According to the UN World Food Program, there were 925 million hungry people around the world in 2010, especially in developing countries. Six million children die of hunger every year.
Chinese people are well known for being hospitable(好客的) and generous(大方的). Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food on the table.
Luckily, a number of people have realized the importance of saving food. Last November, Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant in Nanjing, got fired because she took some leftover food home for her son. Many people stood by her side and criticized(批评) the waste of food.
What should we do in our daily lives to waste less food? Here are some tips:
⑴Do not order too much in a restaurant. Only order as much as you need. If you cannot eat all the food you ordered, take the rest of it home.
⑵Don't be too picky(挑剔的) about food. Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it.
⑶Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don't buy too much, especially for vegetables and fruit.
Do you want to know how and why a fall leaf changes color? We first have to understand what leaves are and what they do.
Leaves are the world's food factories. Plants take water from the ground and take CO from the air. Plants use sunlight to change water and CO into glucose(葡萄糖), a kind of sugar. Plants use it as food for energy and growing.
A chemical called "chlorophyll" in the leaves gives plants their green color. As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter, and trees "know" to begin getting ready for winter.
During winter, there is not enough sunlight or water. We begin to see yellow and orange leaves. Trees rest during this time and live on the food they store during the summer. They begin to shut down their food-making factories.
The bright reds and purples we see in leaves are made mostly in autumn. In some trees, like maples(枫树), sunlight and the cool nights of autumn turn the glucose(葡萄糖) in the leaves into a red color. And we can enjoy the beautiful red leaves during autumn.
My sister Alli and I have been trying to get people to stop dropping cigarette butts(烟蒂) for seven years.
One day, we were walking in our hometown and saw hundreds of cigarette butts on the ground.
They made the town look so ugly that we decided to start a group to make people stop dropping butts. We called it "No Butts About It!"
At first, we drew pictures with "The Earth Is Not Your Ashtray(烟灰缸)" written on them. We put the pictures around our hometown—in parks, by beaches, and along roads.
We wanted to make people understand that dropping butts does harm to the environment. Most smokers don't think that dropping butts harms the earth. 67
Later, we wrote to companies and asked them for money to help us. We used the money to buy ashtrays to give smokers.
We wanted smokers to carry the ashtrays(烟灰缸) with them so they didn't have to drop butts.
At the moment, we are trying to get cigarette companies(公司) to put an ashtray in each pack of cigarettes.
Many people have started to join our group since it began. And there are even groups in England, Australia and India!
Many newspapers have written about my sister and I over the last seven years. And we have won many prizes for our good work. We just want to make the earth a better and cleaner place for animals, plants and people.
One day it will be.
A. But it does! All rubbish does. B. They made the ground dirty. C. But we are not interested in prizes. D. Today there are 45 other "No Butts About It" groups in America. E. Some companies would like to do it. |

I arrived in the UK last weekend to learn English. So , I have already made a few friends and had some English food there. But after (have) three days of potato, sandwiches and (hamburger), I thought none could be delicious than Chinese food, [ɪˈspeʃəlɪ] my favorite—huo guo, When I knew there was going to a free meal of hotpot to welcome the new students, I was so excited I went to the canteen quickly. To surprise, when I stepped into the room, I didn't see any [saɪn] of huo guo. After I talked with an English girl, I got to know that Chinese huo guo is completely different from hotpot. Chinese huo guo is (write) in two words—hot pot;and hotpot, one word, is a traditional English dish.
