These days our government is aiming to build an "economized(节省) society".{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(作为) students, you can do something that you can.

 First, save things. You'd better walk to school or {#blank#}2{#/blank#} a bike instead of taking a car. Turn off the{#blank#}3{#/blank#}as soon as you leave the classroom. Remember to turn off the tap right after washing your hands. When you go out to eat in a {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (餐馆), ask for smaller dishes and take leftovers（剩菜）h{#blank#}5{#/blank#}_.Before you buy something new, think {#blank#}6{#/blank#}  it is necessary or not.

 Second, use things for as long as p{#blank#}7{#/blank#} .When you buy things, make sure that they can {#blank#}8{#/blank#} a long time. Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag. It's better to use a china cup because you can use it again.

  Finally, collect what can be{#blank#}9{#/blank#} （回收利用) in your classroom, such as waste paper and soft drink cans. It can save money and protect the environment.

  In general, I think one thing we should keep in mind is that {#blank#}10{#/blank#} matter what a small effort we make, it will make a difference.

 It's a common school day at Southern Cross School near the famous Kruger National Park in South Africa. Teachers and pupils don't sit in a classroom. I {#blank#}1{#/blank#}   , they go through the forest or sit under the trees.

The school teaches students all the same s  {#blank#}2{#/blank#}  as the rest of the country's schools, but the teaching methods are completely different. Southern Cross uses nature as a teaching tool. The teachers and their pupils go out into nature and work with animals and plants. These can be used to study a  {#blank#}3{#/blank#} from maths and social sciences to languages. The school is in an area where animals live wild and can be hunted. To get to class, students travel a road through the forest that wild animals use as well.

 The classroom for small preschoolers is a little different from the rest of the school. For example, the first lesson of the day is maths, but the teaching method is very s  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}  .In this school you won't hear a teacher saying “Count how many apples Jane has in her basket.”Actually, the children visit a nearby river to count the number of marks left by animals. This way they can see how many different animals come to d   {#blank#}5{#/blank#}   during the night.

 The students are encouraged to take care of the injured and small animals. If they find a dead animal in the area, they study where the animal fits in the foot chain and how and why it d  {#blank#}6{#/blank#}   .

The headmaster says, “We must make people understand what we are doing to do for the e {#blank#}7{#/blank#}  . We need to care for our planet.”

There is a zoo near my house. I like {#blank#}1{#/blank#} there. There are many {#blank#}2{#/blank#} in it.
Look! There is a koala {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the tree. Isn't he {#blank#}4{#/blank#} ? Under the tree, there is a {#blank#}5{#/blank#} . Her neck(脖子) is so long. She is a lovely girl. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} is the panada? She is eating the bamboo(竹子). She's {#blank#}7{#/blank#} shy. But the elephant is interesting. He is playing with kids with his{#blank#}8{#/blank#} nose. They are very funny. Look! In the pool, there are two dolphins. They are playing with {#blank#}9{#/blank#} balls. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} happy they are !

    Have you ever heard of it? Does shopping with cash(现金)really help you lose weight? Some scientists have studied for years. The US scientists have{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(发现) that customers who take debit cards(借记卡)to the shops and{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(忘)their cash at home are more likely to take junk food from the{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(架子). That is to say, they are easy to get fat.

    There are two reasons leading to this {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(结果). First, people only think some kinds of food is delicious, but they don't consider whether it's healthy or not. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(第二), cash payments are more painful than card payments for the customers, so this painful payment can stop them from buying{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(无论什么)they want.

    American scientists even think that one of the{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(恰当的)reasons why westerners are generally getting fat is that they are paying{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(用)debit cards most of time. In this case, it is easy for people to {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(变得)fat. You can find that cash is commonly used by the thin men, and debit cards are used by the fat men.

    Maybe those fat men would say {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(自豪地)that they are rich and they can buy anything they need.

Dear Liz,

    Thank you very much for your letter and the photos of your {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (朋友) and family. They look really nice {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (在……里) the photo. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (现在) I can tell you something about me and my family here in New York.

    I have two brothers. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (他们) names are Lukas and Andreas and they are 16 and 19. My {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (妈妈) is French and her name is Christine. Dad is American and his name's Dieter. Our house has four bedrooms and a small garden. My room is {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (整洁的), but my {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (哥哥) is not. He puts his things {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (到处). We have a dog, Zak, and we {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (认为) he's cute. It {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (帮助) us a lot.

    Please tell me all about your friends and school in your next letter. I'd like to know about English schools.

Love,

Laura

    Last Thursday was {#blank#}1{#/blank#}Day. Students {#blank#}2{#/blank#}the festival in many ways for their teachers. Some of them bought flowers and small gifts {#blank#}3{#/blank#}teachers, while others gave teachers some cards with their best wishes. Some students even gave performances, like singing and dancing. But no matter {#blank#}4{#/blank#}they did it was their love for their teachers. All the teachers felt {#blank#}5{#/blank#}on that day.
