When throwing away rubbish, do you know which Bin it should go in? Have you ever noticed the differently-colored Bins on the street?

    Some of you might not be able to answer this question. However, it's actually quite important to know how to sort your waste. Not knowing how to sort waste can make it harder to save energy and protect the environment.

    If you don't sort your waste, all of it will go to a landfill and Be Buried(埋) together. These landfills can take up large areas of ground that could have Been used for planting trees or Crops. The electronic waste you throw away, such as Batteries, Can pollute the soil and groundwater. Other pieces of waste, like the metal part of a pen, can be used to make other things if they are properly recycled.

    With this in mind, many Cities in China have Been running waste-sorting Campaigns (活动)in recent years. For example, Shanghai announced in July that within three years, all of its residents(居民)should sort their waste into four groups wet, recyclable, harmful and dry.

   "Wet" waste is also known as household waste." They are things you don't want but that pigs can eat," Guangzhou Daily explained. Paper, metal, glass and other things that Can Be reused are recyclable waste.

    Harmful waste includes things like medicine, Batteries and fluorescent Bulbs. Finally, any waste that's not wet, recyclable or harmful will go in the" dry waste" bin.

    Many other Chinese Cities, including Shenzhen, plan to use this method to sort their garbage. Now that you know this, perhaps you can do your part to protect the environment and encourage others to sort their waste.

    Have you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched? You tum around and, sure enough, someone was looking right at you!

Parapsychologists(R y3)say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them. To research whether such a "six sense" really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist(心理学家) at the University of Kentucky, did two experiments.

    In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjects(受试者)were eating, drinking, reading, studying, watching TV, or working at a computer. Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them during those periods. Later when he questioned the subjects, almost all them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them.

    For the second experiment, Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind in a laboratory setting. The people had to write down when they felt they being stared at and when they weren't. Baker found the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren't.

    Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when they are being stared at. If people doubt the outcome of his two experiments, said Baker," I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves

Today was a clear day and I had a great farm trip with my friends.

We got to the farm at nine o'clock. A nice farmer called Uncle Tom welcomed us. Our first stop was the Chicken House. We helped feed(喂) the chickens. The chickens were quite friendly and it was not difficult to feed them at all.

Then Uncle Tom took us to walk around the farm. It was amazing(令人惊讶的) that there were no people but many robots doing the farm work. That was quite different from the farms that I visited before. Soon it was 11:30 and it was time to cook lunch. We were not good at cooking but we all tried our best. We cooked beef and some vegetables. They were not very delicious', but we ate them up.

After lunch, we had a short break and then we went to the Warm House. We picked and ate many big and red strawberries there. My friends took some home to share with their family, but I didn't. Because only I love strawberries in my family.

What a nice day! I think I will go to the farm again.

The Ling family did not think they were going home with a pet that day. Annie wanted to visit the animal shelter(避难所). She wanted to see the cats and dogs. She had wanted a pet for years. Her parents were waiting for the girls to be old enough. Annie was seven. Her sister Lily was only three. Lily was still learning how to act around animals. She had a lot of energy!

Annie and Lily were excited to see the animals. A shelter volunteer gave the Ling family a tour. The volunteer talked about why animals came to the shelter. Some were found by the road. Others were dropped off by families who could not care for them.

Finally, the Ling family got to see the animals: There was a cat section and a dog section. They were all so cute! Some of the animals looked scared. This made Annie sad. The volunteer explained that animals need time to get used to a new place. She assured(向......保证) Annie that all the people caring for these animals were kind.

The Ling family walked through the dog section. They started talking. A dog just felt like the right choice. Annie's mom could not take her eyes of fan older black dog with kind eyes. Annie's dad was interested in a large, energetic dog. Annie had found her own favorite. He was a young puppy. He was brown with spots. He had been found near the railway with six other puppies(小狗). Annie could not take her eyes off this dog. She thought he had the cutest face in the world.

Annie pleaded(恳求) with her parents. They did not want to make a quick decision. But they could see in Annie's eyes that she had found her companion(伴侣). The volunteer talked about what a good breed the dog was and that he would be kind with children. That was what the family needed to hear. They decided to take the little puppy home.

During a National Day holiday, some movies hit the theatres. 

Many of them tell stories of common people. From steel workers to members of the flight, from doctors and nurses to diplomats(外交官), the movies show ordinary people can be heroes by doing great things. 

Here is a poster of the Movie World.
