Every year,Julia's grandfather gives her and her cousins some money. One day,he thought the children needed to learn how to1 their money well. So he gave them a test. After he gave them the money,he said," There are seven2 before the New Year. Who will buy the best gift with the money at the end of the year?I want to find out the answer. "
The New Year came. Each child showed their gifts. There were nice cards,flowers and other little things. But Julia arrived with two violins!That3 everyone. They knew that Julia always wanted to get a violin,but the family was too poor to buy one. Her grandfather asked her,"4 did you get enough(足够的) money to buy two violins?"
Julia said,"I saw a poor(穷的) violinist. I gave him all my5 and asked him to teach me how to play the violin. He was6 to teach me. So every day after school,I learned to play the violin from him. After three months,he lent(借)a violin to me and we played the violin in the7 because there were always many people. Most of them liked our music and gave us money. Then I bought two new violins8 the money,one for me,and the other for you9 I know you like it,too. "
When Julia finished,everyone in the10 said Julia's gift was the best and that Julia was a smart girl.
David Katz was worried about all the plastic(塑料) going into the sea. To help stop the problem, he had a special idea —the "Plastic Bank".
Mr. Katz thinks that the main reason(理由) for the plastic problem is worthless. People don't know how to put plastic into use in their life. In poor countries, people are working so hard just to get enough food to eat, to find a place to live, and to keep themselves healthy. They don't have time for recycling(回收利用).
The "Plastic Bank" helps the poor people with food and houses. When people recycle plastic, "Plastic Bank" pays them for recycling it.
The program began in 2015 in Haiti, a poor country with big problems with plastic. Haiti doesn't have good programs for recycling. People just put plastic here and there. It runs into seas.
"Plastic Bank" opened about 30 "markets" in Haiti. At "Plastic Bank markets", people can exchange(交换) the plastic for money or other things they need.
The "Plastic Bank" has programs in Haiti, Philippines and Brazil. In Philippines, it works to make "Plastic Bank markets" at 1,000 gas stations around the country.
Now, the "Plastic Bank" keeps about 7 million pounds of plastic out of seas.

—Yes, it was really .
It is very important to stay healthy. I have a neighbor. I often see her exercise in the morning. She looks young and beautiful, (虽然)she is over seventy years old,
Last week a reporter from a (杂志)interviewed her and asked how to keep in good (健康).She said it was quite easy. Keep (你自己)active and find a hobby. Besides, it's (必需的,必要的)to learn at least one new thing every day.
(然而),according to the (结果)of a study, twenty (百分之……)of the students don't exercise at all! They eat junk food (几乎)every day and sleep less than six hours every night.They have to learn more about healthy habits. I (真正,确实)hope all people will stay young and healthy.
Before ( make) friends, you have to decide who you want to be your friends. Most people like to have friends who like to do same kinds of things they do. That doesn't mean you have to be like each other. If you're really into sports, you probably will want friends who enjoy (play) many similar games you do.
The quickest way to make a friend is to smile. When you smile, people think you are (friend) and easier to talk to. may not be easy to smile at first,but remember most people will stay away from a scared-looking angry-looking face.
One easy way to talk to someone is saying something nice about him. (think) about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn't it make you want to keep (talk) to that person?
Ask your new friends questions themselves. Who's their favorite singer, where do they live, what do they do after school are all good questions. Make sure you have something to add to the conversations,too.
Remember,everyone wants to be around people who like to do similar things and people who are friendly them
