Christmas is coming.1 you are thinking what gifts you need to buy, the Alice Ferguson Foundation is busy 2 the environment by building relationships between people and nature.
At the 3 of the year, it designs events to help children celebrate Christmas without increasing the amount of 4 they create.
Hanna Seligmann who works for the foundation, said they 5 that from Thanksgiving Day to New Year's day, the household trash increases by 25 percent. Many young people do not know the6 they throw away do not decompose (分解), or break down, at the same rate. For example, paper dissolves（溶解） in about four weeks. A metal can take up to 100 years. A plastic bag will not decompose for 450 years. Glass takes 1,000 years.
Hanna Seligmann shows adults and children 7to reduce waste during the holiday gift-giving season.
She encourages using things that are 8 in our houses like newspaper or old magazines. With imagination，children can wrap gifts in a 9 napkin or even a beautiful scarf. In fact，there's no better way to celebrate the holiday by giving10to the planet.
In many places, if you do not take your wallet with you, you'll be in trouble. This is especially true in overseas airports when you want to pay for food or gifts. Luckily you can now pay without your wallet in some overseas airports.
It's announced on Sept 26 that Chinese tourists can use the third party payment Alipay at ten airports across the world. The 10 airports are in Germany, Singapore, South Korea, New Zealand, Thailand and China's Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macao.
Digital wallets like Alipay, WeChat and Apple Pay have brought big changes to our lives.
In April, CNN reporter Will Ripley spent a day in Beijing without his wallet. "In China's largest cities, you can definitely (肯定地) survive without carrying a pocket full of money and credit cards — as long as you've got your smart-phone," he wrote. "From small shops to large stores, a huge number of businesses in Beijing accept mobile payments."
He paid for breakfast by scanning (扫描) a QR code on the window of a restaurant. All he had to do was enter a password.
Then he also used his phone to pay for movie tickets, buy takeout food, order goods for delivery and hail a taxi.
But, there is also concern about the safety of the digital wallets. "Don't think the largest payment technology has solved all of its security problems." commented Fox News.

People usually think volunteering is just for adults and it seems hard for students like us. But it is totally different in Canada. The government encourages people of any age to volunteer in public and make contributions to the whole society. Therefore, if students want to graduate from high school, 30 hours of volunteering is required. If students want to get into a good university, it helps if they contribute a lot to society. Volunteering is an important factor that universities will take into consideration.
Furthermore, there are volunteer opportunities everywhere. People can find information about how to volunteer posted in the library or on the Internet. It includes many different jobs, such as wrapping gifts in a shopping mall, taking care of small kids or cleaning up a church. Students can choose what they want to do and register(注册) on line.
I got my first volunteering job in New Westminster Museum every Sunday from 9:30am to 11:30 am. My job is to proofread the documents on a laptop and correct mistakes. The museum is about the history of the Irving Family, a historically important family in New Westminster. At first, I was nervous to communicate with others. But as time passed I became more open. During volunteering, I not only learned how to work with other volunteers, but also learned a lot of history about New Westminster.
As a volunteer, I am proud of myself. I enjoy doing my job and helping others.
Whether you're crossing one of the 342 bridges in the city, or just watching them being raised over the Neva River at night to allow ships to pass, you are never far from water in ST Petersburg. The Russian city has often been compared with Venice in Italy.
Last month ST Petersburg was voted Europe's best destination in this year's World Travel Awards.
Apart from its water, the city is also sure to wow visitors with its buildings. The huge Winter Palace, where the Russian Tsars (沙皇) used to live, is perhaps the city's most famous building. It can be seen all over Palace Square and the south bank of the Neva River, and has played "a central role in the political and cultural role in the 300-year history of the city", according to Saint-Petersburg.com. Kazan Cathedral (大教堂) is another well-known attraction, with its amazing painting of Our Lady of Kazan, an important religious figure in Russian, which believers line up to kiss.
ST Petersburg also stands out as "a museum city", as Russians call it. The Hermitage Museum, done of the largest and oldest museums in the world, is where visitors can see everything from Egyptian mummies (木乃伊) to Spanish artist Pablo Picasso's works. The State Russian Museum has the world's largest collection of Russian art.
As US travel website TripAdisor put it, the city of ST Petersburg offers "enough art and culture for many visits". Perhaps it will soon be time to make your first trip.
Are you still doing the V for victory? It's out. The latest popular hand gesture is to curl (卷曲)of your hands together to make a heart-shape. It's called "hand heart".
Many young stars in the US including Justin Bieber, Blake Lively and Taylor Swift have done the move in [ˈrisənt] photos."The hand-heart gesture shows something between ‘I love you' and ‘thank you', "said the country (sing) Taylor Swift, 21."It's a sweet, simple message which you can send saying a word. "Taylor Swift often does it at her concerts. And she is (believe) to be the first to make the gesture popular.
Last month during a charity show, Justin Bieber and his superstar friends did it to out three kids whose parents were killed in a car accident. After that, the gesture became(real) hot .
It used to take much (long) for nonverbal（非语言的）culture to spread. But now ,with smart phones and the Internet, it's faster.
In the Republic of Korea, the hand heart has been popular for a long time,in a different way. People put their hands [əˈbʌv] their heads and make a heart shape with their arms. It means "I love you."
Have you ever thrown an old mobile phone? And do you know that there's a mobile phone throwing competition in Finland every year?This sport has been around since 2000 though the first national championships took place in Norway in 2004.
In order to recycle old mobile phones, the town of Savonlinna in southeast Finland holds a Mobile Phone Throwing Competition every year.
While competitors cannot throw their own phones, the competition organizers provide hundreds of mobiles to choose from. Last year's winner Ere Karjalainen set a world record with his 101.46m throw. As a prize, he got a chance of drinking and practiced again as his preferred training methods.
Those without a strong throwing arm can enter the freestyle competition.A three-person jury (评委) gives scores from one to six, and the thrower with the highest number of points wins.
Once all the day's phones have been thrown, they are taken to a recycling center. They will not be wasted as rubbish. Anyone who offers his phone will have a free chance to take part in the competition while those who don't need to pay eleven dollars per person or five dollars for children of 12 and under.
A. So the organizers encourage people to give away their phones that can't work at all.
B. Then people throw as far as possible from the throwing area.
C. During the competition, the style of the throw are judged (判断) rather than the distance.
D. It may sound crazy to you, but it's actually been developed into a sport.
E. And people can have a little fun from the games.
