We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it{#blank#}1{#/blank#} our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest {#blank#}2{#/blank#}activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you.
Reduce means "use less". Don't waste things. This {#blank#}3{#/blank#} money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think {#blank#}4{#/blank#}it is really necessary—or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if {#blank#}5{#/blank#} and try not to buy too many things from abroad.
Reuse means "use again". Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they {#blank#}6{#/blank#}a long time. We should look after them{#blank#}7{#/blank#} they will last and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag. It's better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them {#blank#}8{#/blank#}.
Recycle means "change things into something else". Although it takes {#blank#}9{#/blank#} to change something into something else, it's better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your{#blank#}10{#/blank#} and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.

    It's different between western countries and eastern countries about how to keep healthy. Traditional Chinese doctors believe we need a {#blank#}1{#/blank#}of cool yin and hot yang to be healthy. In China, herbs (草药)are the main medicine but in western countries they use pills.

    In China {#blank#}2{#/blank#}you are quiet and always tired, Chinese doctors might think you have too much yin. You should eat more hot yang food. It can give you some {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. But in western countries, doctors will check your body. They might give you some pills to cure(治愈)your disease. People who are easily nervous and{#blank#}4{#/blank#} might have too much yang in their bodies. Chinese doctors believe they should eat more yin food.

    Sports aren't only for men. Amantle Montsao is one of the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} women in the world. Amantle Montsho was lovely {#blank#}2{#/blank#} she was a child. She liked running, but her classmates often {#blank#}3{#/blank#} at her. Because women in her country didn't like to run. But she never cared {#blank#}4{#/blank#} that. She took part in a lot of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} and won. The Botswana National Sports Council(博茨瓦纳国际体育委员会) had a meeting and asked her to join them. At the age of 16. Ms Montsho worked as a shop clerk. She spent her free time {#blank#}6{#/blank#}. And the council asked {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to work on a program for two weeks a month. So she had to travel for 8 to 10 hours for it.

    The short race were not the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} fit(适合) for her. Then she started to run the 400-meter race. She {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the national record many times. She's so{#blank#}10{#/blank#} now. People think she is one of the most talented runners in the world.

As you walk down the street, an object falls from a tall building and {#blank#}1{#/blank#}you. Who should be responsible for this? Or maybe you try to help someone in danger, but you accidentally hurt the person. Will you get in trouble for this? China's Civil Code(《民法典》) will give you the  {#blank#}2{#/blank#}.

On May 28, the National People's Congress (全国人民代表大会) agreed China's first-ever Civil Code. With 1,260 articles, it is a collection of laws that is about personal issues, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}property (物权), marriage, family, personality rights, and inheritances (继承). It's like an encyclopedia (百科全书) for social life.

China does have laws that cover these issues. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} , all kinds of these laws are not unified. The Civil Code gathers them into one unified document and makes improvements. With the Civil Code, China hopes to set up a country under the rule of law with {#blank#}5{#/blank#} protection for civil rights.

One special thing about the code is the part about individual (个人的) rights. It's a major innovation (创新) to form the individual rights into one part alone. This part includes laws{#blank#}6{#/blank#} relate to one's body, health, name, image (肖像), and fame.

Some of the laws in this part deal with how new technology is{#blank#}7{#/blank#}.For example, people who use AI face swap (调换) tools to make videos may go against {#blank#}8{#/blank#} image rights. The laws also provide data protection rights relating to possible data leaks by tech companies.

As we know, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were several attempts to draft (起草) a civil code in 1954, 1962, 1979 and 2001. But the conditions {#blank#}9{#/blank#} not good enough. In 2015, China started to work on the present code and{#blank#}10{#/blank#} it after 5 years. This year, the code took effect on Jan. 1.
