Food waste (浪费) is a serious problem around the world. I remember when I was 1 my grandma and my mom never wasted food. If we didn't 2 something at one meal, we would eat it later on or 3 another use for it.
I remember my grandma once cooked 4 for us. We all ate a lot but there was 5 some left. The next day Grandma took the rice out of the fridge, and 6 it with eggs and milk to make delicious rice cake. I also 7 that my mom cooked beef for us one day. 8 used the bones and some vegetables to make some soup. The soup tasted great, and we all 9 it.
I learned a lot from my grandma and my mom. Now I am a big boy. I 10 to never waste food myself. Before I go to the 11 I always first think about the food I'll 12 and only buy what I need. So nothing will go to waste. 13 I don't eat up the food at lunch, I will eat it at dinner. To me, it's not 14 to put food in the trash (垃圾). Farmers work very hard to 15 food and get food, so we mustn't waste it.
Traditional Chinese clothing has a long history and still influences (影响) our lives today. Here are some of the most well-known kinds of traditional clothing.
| To better spread the traditional clothing culture, a great Hanfu exhibition was held in Guangzhou Baomo Gardern, which is a Lingnan cultural garden. Hanfu is the traditional costume (服装) of the Han people. Its history can be traced back (追溯) to more than 4,000 years ago when Huangdi's wife, Leizu, made cloth with silk. By the Han Dynasty, Hanfu finally became the national costume of the country. |
| The Qipao developed from the traditional dress that was worn by Manchu (满族) women, also known as the Qi people, during the Qing Dynasty, so their dresses were named Qipao. People made Qipao tight (紧的) to show the perfect body shape of women. It made them look beautiful. Now, lots of women still like to wear them. |
| People often wear Tang suits when they have important meetings. Since the Tang Dynasty was famous for being rich and powerful, foreigners often called the Chinese who lived abroad "the Tang people". The clothes they wore were called "Tang suits". Traditional Tang suits usually have Chinese characters on them to express good luck, such as "fu" and "shou". |
| The Zhongshan suit is a type of jacket. It was named after Sun Yat-sen, a famous person in Chinese history. The Zhongshan suit was also called the Mao suite, because Chairman Mao Zedong often wore it in public. Today, Zhongshan suits come in many colors, including black, white, blue and grey. |

Long time ago, there lived a young boy with a family in a small village. Because there was little water in the village, the boy woke up early every morning, carried his pot and headed for the stream with the aim of fetching water. He loved his family and tried to carry out his task.
On his way back from the stream, he always met some old men who begged(乞讨）for water. This happened almost every time. He always gave them water though he would be punished（惩罚）by his stepmother.
One day, he couldn't stand the punishment from his stepmother, so he decided never to give anyone water. But on his way back home, he met a strange-looking man who begged him for water. The strange man lay by the road with an injury（伤）. The boy remembered his vow, but he thought for a moment and then gave the strange man some water.
When he got home, his stepmother noticed the half-filled pot, and again punished him more severely（严厉地）. As she was beating this young boy, there was a knock on the door. It was a mail-deliverer. He came from the town with a letter for the boy. The letter contained a thank-you note with some cash（现金）for the young boy. The writer of the letter said in the letter that he'd have died on the way if not for the boy's kindness.
There is love in sharing and where there is love, there is life. Your everyday good deeds are never in vain（徒劳）for they shall return to you when you are not expecting it.
In the modern society(社会), it is common to see people wearing ties and hats. But at one time, wearing ties and hats was the symbol of social position(社会地位)in England. Not all people wore them.
A farmer or a common worker never wore ties or hats. Only those who used their brains(大脑)to make a living wore ties and hats. Wearing ties and hats showed you were a professional(专业人员)and full of knowledge. At the same time, it showed you had a high social position. If a man wanted to find a job, he had to wear them. It was hard for a man to find a job if he didn't wear a tie or a hat.
Until 1960s, it was common for men across the western world to wear hats and ties as part of their business uniforms. But things changed later. President Kennedy(肯尼迪总统) never wore a hat and he didn't like a tie, either. People seldom saw him wearing them. Seeing that the president didn't have them, millions of other men imitated him. They also took off ties and hats.
Nowadays, people still wear ties and hats. But they are only decorations. Anyone can wear them if he or she likes. What will they be like in the future? No one can guess.

Everyone needs friends. Friends can help you in many ways. But how do you find real friendship and keep it?
The American writer Sally Seamans tells us some smart ways to find friends. In fact, finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant a seed (种子) and look after it to make it grow. So first of all, you should choose friends. You choose them not because they have money or good luck. You choose them just because they can be kind and patient（有耐心的）. When you have a bad time, a good friend can try his or her best to help you.
If you want to make new friends, you shouldn't be shy. You should talk to others actively and warmly. You can say hello to them. You can talk about the weather, the news at home and abroad and your hobbies with them. Keep doing these things, and you can make friends easily.
However, good friends may have different ideas on something. So what should you do when you disagree with your friends? You should talk to them as much as possible. Try to tell them what you think and why you want to do this or that.
Remember that friendship is very important in your life. You must look after it well just like looking after yourself.
