Learning about the environment is very important. There are many good books that will help you learn. To get started, ask your teacher or a librarian for some suggestions. You can also look at some good websites with information about the environment and climate change. Climate change may be a big problem, but there are many little things we can do to make a difference.

Driving a car or using electricity is not wrong. We just have to be smart about it. Some people use less energy by carpooling. For example, four people can ride together in one car instead of driving four cars to work. Whenever we use electricity, we put greenhouse gases(气体) into the air. By turning off lights, the television and the computer when they aren’t needed, you can help a lot.

Don’t buy products that use too much energy. Some products, like certain cars, are made specially to save energy. These don’t pollute as much, either. Products like computers, TVs, and VCRs with the ENERGY STAR label(标签)R are made to save energy. Buying products with these labels will help protect the environment.

Buy recyclable products instead of (代替) non-recyclable ones. Recyclable products are usually made out of things that have already been used. It usually takes less energy to make recyclable products than to make new ones. So when you go shopping, look for the recycle mark on the package—three arrows that make a circle.The less energy we use, the better.

Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England on 8th January, 1942. He went to school in St Albans—a small city near London. Although he did well, he was never top of his class.

After leaving school, Hawking went first to Oxford University where he studied physics, then he went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology. As he himself admits (承认), he didn't work hard. He was a very lazy student, and did very little work. However, he still got good marks.

It was at the age of 20 that Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him. He started to bump into things. When he visited his family at Christmas time, his mother was so worried that she made him see a doctor. Hawking was sent to hospital for tests. Finally, the result came back. Hawking had motor neurone disease, an incurable illness which would make him unable to speak, breathe（呼吸）or move without the help of a machine. Doctors said they had no way to help him. He would die before he was 23.

At first, Hawking became very depressed (抑郁). After a while, though, he began to see his life in a different way. As he later wrote, "Before my illness was diagnosed (诊断), I had been very bored with life. There had not seemed to be anything worth doing. But shortly after I came out of hospital, I suddenly realized that there were a lot of worthwhile things I could do." Hawking married, found a job at Cambridge University, and had three children. He also went on to do some of the most important scientific research.

Today, Hawking still works at Cambridge University as a professor. He strongly believes that his story shows that nobody should lose hope. "Life is not fair," he once said. "You just have to do the best you can in your own situation."

The world has many beautiful sounds. We can hear the songs of birds and the laugh of people. We can listen to cool music and news reports. And it is all because of ours ears! They bring us a world of sounds.

But some people can’t hear any sound at all. Some are born deaf. Others can hear well in their childhood, but too many loud sounds hurt their ears later on.

Many people in China can’t hear ordinary sounds clearly. A large number of them are children. Most of them are born with good hearing. But six children out of every 1,000 have hearing problems when they are born. And if a child has hearing problems, he or she usually will also have learning problems at school.

Hearing is important for all of us. So we should do our best to give our ears special care. Don’t forget to do the following:

● When swimming , remember to put earplugs into your ears to stop water from getting in.

● Never put anything sharp into your ears. If you think you have too much earwax, ask your mum or dad to help you clean it out. CDACB

If you go to a fast food restaurant, you will probably see a lot of teenagers (). Today, many teenagers are overweight, and some of this is because of their bad eating habits. Most teenagers love food with a lot of fat,oil , salt and sugar. People often call this kind of food “junk food”.

But bad eating habits go beyond fast food. We find many teenagers eat unhealthily. Some don’t have breakfast before they go to school. During the day, some don’t have a proper meal for lunch.

● Teenagers shouldn’t eat too much junk food.

● Teenagers shouldn’t eat food with too much salt. Salt can cause high blood pressure(高血压) in th future.

● Teenagers should eat food with less fat,oil and sugar.
