Marie：Roy and Carla, what are your ideas for solving these pollution problems？

Roy：To cut down air pollution，we should take the bus or subway instead of   {#blank#}1{#/blank#} 

Carla：Yeah, or ride a bike. There are other advantages of bike riding. It's good for health and it doesn't{#blank#}2{#/blank#}   much！

Marie：Great ideas！What about waste pollution?

Carla：Mmm, I thank simple things like bringing a bag to go shopping can help. I started doing that a year ago.

Roy：Me，too. Also I never take wooden chopsticks or plastic{#blank#}3{#/blank#} when I buy takeaway food. I use the ones at home．

Carla：And remember to throw rubbish in the bins and keep{#blank#}4{#/blank#} places clean and beautiful for everyone·

Marie：So together, our actions can make a{#blank#}5{#/blank#} and lead to a better future！

    Sarah Hutchins is a young girl．She has won a prize from Amazon．com in a competition{#blank#}1{#/blank#}young inventors． Sarah invented “ camoculars ”by putting binoculars(双筒望远镜) and a camera together．She was one of thousands of young  people who {#blank#}2{#/blank#}their ideas to Amazon．com the company mat organized the competition．

    Sarah was at a concert when she thought of {#blank#}3{#/blank#}invention．“I was sitting a long way from the stage and I was watching the band through my binoculars．While I was{#blank#}4{#/blank#}，I thought，'I'd love to be able to take a picture of this !”Then I got a(n){#blank#}5{#/blank#}．Why not have binoculars with a camera inside them?”

    When she got home，she {#blank#}6{#/blank#} a pair of binoculars and a  cheap camera  and put them together．Her sister was watching her and told her about the {#blank#}7{#/blank#}．So Sarah sent her idea to Amazon．com and two months later, she got a surprise．

    Amazon．com honed to say that she was a(n){#blank#}8{#/blank#}．They didn't give her the top prize，but she won $1，000 and a trip to New York．

“What are you going to invent{#blank#}9{#/blank#}?”asked some people． “I don't know，” said Sarah．“{#blank#}10{#/blank#}you just sit there and think，you won't invent anything because you get ideas at strange moments．The only thing I can do is keep my eyes and ears open!”

    But if you talk with someone like your mom or dad, you will always start to feel better. Now you're not all {#blank#}1{#/blank#} with your problems or worries. Your mom and dad want to know if you have problems because they love you. What if a kid doesn't want to talk with mom or dad? They find {#blank#}2{#/blank#} trustworthy(值得信赖的)adult, like a relative or a counselor(顾问)at school.

    lf you think you'll have {#blank#}3{#/blank#} saying what's on your mind, write it down on a piece of paper. A kid doesn't have to share every feeling he has, but it is important to share feelings when he needs help. You don't have to solve every problem {#blank#}4{#/blank#} .

    Sometimes you need help. Talking with someone about your feelings can be the first step.
