People worldwide are doing something to protect the earth. As kids，we can also try our best to help. We can do the following.

    ●Change a light. Change a regular light to a more energy-efficient(节能的)light.

    ●Drive less. Walk, ride or use public transportation. Ask your parents to drive less. By this way, we can make less pollution.

    ●Recycle more. Think before you throw away trash. Throw trash into different trash cans, and this helps recycle.

    ●Use less hot water. It takes a lot of energy to heat water like a bath instead of a shower, and wash clothes in cold or warm water.

    ●Adjust(调节)your air-conditioning. Move it down 2℃ in winter and up 2℃ in summer than you want it to be. This helps save electricity.

    ●Plant a tree. Any tree can take away one ton of CO₂ through its lifetime.

    ●Turn off the electricity. Remember to turn off your TV, and cell phone charger(充电器)when not in use.

    This will help save electricity and reduce CO₂.

    Owls live in almost every country in the world. Most owls don't sleep at night. When they fly, you can't hear them. They are very quiet. Owls are good at hunting（捕猎）. They eat a lot of things such as mice, snakes, small birds and even fish. Owls have very good hearing. That helps them to hunt well in dark places. Their eyes are special. Both of their eyes face front. They can see very far away. There are facial disks(面盘) around their eyes. These facial disks can help with their hearing. Owls can turn their heads 270°. That helps them see what's going on all around them.

    Maybe because owls look a little different and have special life habits. There are a lot of stories about them. Some cultures believe that owls are very clever and some cultures think owls may bring bad luck to people. In fact, owls are really good friends of people. They eat lots of mice every year. That helps save a lot of food for people. But the number of owls in the world is becoming smaller and smaller because of people's activities. Now owls are protected by law(法律) in many places of the world. For example, in some places, people can't keep an owl as a pet at home.

Chinese Teachers' Day is a festival celebrating the over 2,000-year tradition of respecting teachers and education in China.

The history of Teachers' Day dates back to the Han Dynasty. According to record, during the Han and Jin Dynasties, on August 27 of the lunar calendar each year, the birthday of Confucius(孔子), the emperor would go to the Confucius Temple and worship(敬拜) the great teacher, and would also invite royal teachers to dinner. And on that day, teachers enjoyed a day's vacation and were given dried meat as gifts. Besides, best teachers who were chosen from the whole country would be given 500 liang silver coins each as prizes. In the Qing Dynasty, well performing teachers would be given official titles or promoted to higher positions.

Normally, in ancient time, there was no fixed tuition fee(学费); the parents paid with money or food.

In private schools, teachers would receive money or gifts from the host family at certain festivals or at the beginning and end of each term. The festivals in which teachers received gifts were different in different areas, while the most valued ones were the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-autumn Festival and Chinese New Year, as well as Confucius' birthday and the private teacher's birthday.

Among all the gift-giving festivals, the first meeting gift was a must. There was a tradition that when students met their teachers for the first time, they needed to kowtow(磕头) to Confucius' picture and then to their private teachers, before giving their teachers a "gift".

With a habit of drinking coffee on weekends while doing schoolwork, Wu Zibo, a 17-year-old student from Beijing No. 4 High School, wanted to order a cup of Moutai-flavored latte(茅台味拿铁). "I wonder how my father's favorite Chinese liquor(白酒) would taste with my favorite coffee." Wu said.

The collaboration(合作) between Moutai and Luckin Coffee has interested many people. It sold 5.42 million cups and made 100 million yuan just on Sept 4, the first day it came out, China Daily reported.

Moutai has tried many ways in the past few years to be more creative, such as by bringing out Moutai ice cream.

"This creative collaboration lets Moutai make its brand younger." Li Honghui, a marketing director(市场总监) for drinks said. "Through collaborations, brands can share what they need, make the market bigger, and bring more creative things to buyers." added Li.

In 2023 China's collaboration market will grow to over 100 billion(十亿) yuan and may reach 300 billion yuan by 2025. However, wrong collaborations may have undesirable results and even hurt brands.

"The key to making a collaboration work is about how good the products are. The brands should not just pay attention to getting the public excited." said Li.
