When you go to the United States and many west European countries like France and Germany you see that secondary-school students are wearing jeans,T-shirts,1schools in these countries don't have uniforms.Of course,the schools have2about make-up and fashion clothes.There are,3,a few private schools that have uniforms.

    It is4when you go to the United Kingdom and Australia.The girls and boys here are wearing uniforms.In the United Kingdom,some schools have the same uniforms for boys and girls5schools have separate(单独的)uniforms for boys and girls.

    Have you e  {#blank#}1{#/blank#}  planted a few trees on Tree Planting Day?
    Each year, many of people, both old a {#blank#}2{#/blank#}  young, plant a lot of trees. But this may not be the best w{#blank#}3{#/blank#} to make your home a greener place. Last week, we v {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a park in Hebei. We were s {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to find most of the trees had been burnt. The workers told us that the trees d {#blank#}6{#/blank#} soon after they were planted because they were not watered well enough. So the workers burnt them and changed the trees for new trees to be planted this year. On a card found in one of the trees, a student w {#blank#}7{#/blank#}  . “I hope this tree will g {#blank#}8{#/blank#} up with me to become the backbone(栋梁) of our country.” The workers said that the survival of the trees was really more important t {#blank#}9{#/blank#}  how many trees were planted.
    Some people in Beijing now have a new idea that they can donate some m {#blank#}10{#/blank#}   and let professionals plant and take care of trees.

Like two different worlds

    I come from London, a very big city! Over 81people live there, and it's always busy with tourists. So moving to a little town2only 15, 000 people is a big change for me! I am living in a little town in the countryside in Germany now.

    In the countryside, the towns are 3so everyone knows each other. At home in London, I don't even know my neighbours! Another nice thing about the countryside is that it's very green and there's lots of fresh air. I like nature, and it's nice to see4the seasons change the trees. My favourite thing about living in the countryside is that I can see thousands of 5 at night. At home I can hardly see any! That's because there's 6light in the city, but here everything is dark and the stars twinkle in the sky.

    One thing I do like about living in a city is that it's7to travel. We have the subways, buses and trains, and we even have buses that run all night. Here, the last train is before 9 pm, and there's only one an hour!  Another good thing about cities is that there are lots of 8, so you can usually find what you need. In my town here there aren't many shops, 9I have to go to the nearest city!

    I always thought I was a city girl, but now I like the countryside too. They are like two different worlds, but10feel like home!
