Michelle, a famous lady, has found that more than 25% students are too fat in her country. It is a very serious problem. So she starts a health program to deal with it. The health program is to reduce the amount(数量)of fat students today and in the future.

    The program will get families, schools, newspapers, magazines and TVs to join together and deal with the students' obesity so that students will be at a healthier weight. The program includes: food stores should sell healthier food: schools should serve healthier meals with less fat and should also offer gym classes.

    The lady is trying to fight the students' obesity all over the country because it can cause illnesses and higher health cost. She wants the students to eat right, exercise more and control their weight. She also wants the students to understand it is important to have less sweet food, and drink water, milk and fresh juices, but not to choose cokes. At the same time, she has also set a good example by planting a vegetable garden. She hopes that the garden will encourage more people to plant one, too.

    The health program is really helpful to the students today and in the future. As she says, we cannot always build the future for youth, but we can build our youth for the future.

    Jack is the most special friend to me.

    Different from other7-year-old children, Jack began to go to school at the age of ten. But he got worried about his mother because she had disability. She couldn't do anything but worked in her small garden to get some money.

    Jack's birthday came. He invited his classmates to his party. He was excited although there wasn't enough food in his home. He waited for so long but none of them came. Jack star-ted crying. "They must think we are poor. "Then his mother said, "No, it is because of me. My disability is the reason why they run away from you. ""They can't hate someone because of his disability, "Jack said.

    The next day, one of Jack's classmates asked, "How was your party? Did anyone come?" And then others started laughing. Jack said angrily, "You didn't come, but it doesn't mean it was the worst day of my life. I have someone that is important to me and that person is my mother. You are laughing at me because of her. Although you don't like her, you won't stop me from loving her. You can't hate someone just because he is disabled. It is just the way that he was born with. "All his classmates were ashamed after hearing this.

    From then on, all the students started to appreciate Jack because he spoke for the disabled people.

    My pen pal John is a school boy. He is from the USA and he is 13 years old. This is his room. Let's have a look. His computer is on the desk. And a telephone is on it, too. His books are everywhere. Some are on the shelf（书架）and some are on the ground. Look, what's that under the bed? Oh, it's one of his socks. Where's his schoolbag? It's near the bed. You can find a dictionary, a pencil box and a set of keys in it. Where is his hat? Can you find it?

    Xie Wanying (October 5, 1900-Febrary 28.1999), better known by her pen name Bing Xin, was one of the most well-known Chinese writers of the 20^th century. Many of her works were written for young readers. Her pen name Bing Xin carries the meaning of a pure heart, and is taken from a line in a Tang Dynasty poem by Wang Changling.

    Bing Xin was born in Fuzhou, Fujian, but moved to Shanghai with her family when she was seven months old, and later moved yet again to the coastal port city of Yantai, Shandong, when she was four. Such a move had a key influence on Bing Xin's personality and philosophy (哲学) of love and beauty, as the hugeness and beauty of the sea greatly opened young Bing Xin's mind and heart. It was also in Yantai, Bing Xin first began to read the classics of Chinese literature, such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Water Margin, when she was just seven.

    In 1913, Bing Xin moved to Beijing. She started her writing career as she wrote for a school newspaper at Yanjing University where she was a student and published her first novel. Bing Xin graduated from Yanjing University in 1923 with a bachelor's degree, and went to the United States to study at Wellesley College, earning a master's degree at Wellesley in literature in 1926. She then returned to Yanjing University to teach until 1936.

    In 1929, she married Wu Wenzao, her good friend when they were studying in the United States. In literature, Bing Xin founded the "Bing Xin Style" as a new literary style. She contributed a lot to children's literature in China such as A Myriad of Stars (1923), Spring Water (1923), Six-one sister (1924), To Young Readers (1926), Homeward South (1931), The Collected Works of Bing Xin (1932-1933). Bing Xin's literary career was productive. She wrote a lot of works — prose, poetry, novels, reflections and so on. There is a Bing Xin Literature Museum in Changle in Fujian Province. The Bing Xin Children's Literature Award is named in her honour.

Environmental protection is one of the hottest topics nowadays. It was also something that ancient Chinese paid great attention to. In fact, the world's earliest environmental protection idea, ministry （部门） and law were all born in China. How did the ancient Chinese protect the environment?

The world's earliest idea of "managing state affairs（政事）through environmental protection"

Xunzi, a famous thinker in the Warring States Period, came up with the idea of "managing state affairs through environmental protection". He wrote in his book that vegetation（植被）should be protected well by humans.

Guan Zhong, a government officer 400 years ahead of Xunzi, was also an environmental protection expert. He said "a king who cannot protect his vegetation is not doing a good job".

The world's earliest environmental protection ministry"

Nine ministries set up by Shim, an ancient Chinese emperor, included "Yu"（虞） , an environmental protection ministry. Hie first " Yu'' leader was Boyi, an environmental protection expert. He invented wells so people could drink clean water. He knew a lot about animals and also called for animal protection.

The world's earliest "environmental protection law"

Over 4, 000 years ago, Dayu, an ancient Chinese water-control expert and also an emperor, made a rule, not allowing people to cut down trees in March or catch fish in June, because it was the time when they grew quickly.

Almost 3,000 years ago, Tianlv, the first environmental protection law, appeared in Qin. It recorded many ancient environmental protection rules. Two of them were interesting: firstly, rivers should not be blocked（堵塞）; secondly, grass and trees should not be burned to be fertilizer （肥料）except for summer. The second one is inspiring even for today. It can help to keep air clean and fresh.
