In most parts of the world, many students help their schools make less pollution. They join environment clubs (环境俱乐部). In an environment club, people work together to make our environment clean.

    Here are some things students often do.

    No garbage (垃圾) lunches. How much do you throw away after lunch？Environment clubs ask students to bring their lunches in bags that can be used again. Every week they will choose the classes that make the least garbage and report them to the whole school.

    No car day. On a no car day, nobody comes to school in a car-not only the students but also the teachers！Cars give pollution to our air, so remember:

    Walk, jump, bike or run.

    Use your legs! It's lots of fun.

    Turn off the taps! Do you know that some toilets can waste twenty to forty cubic (立方的) meters of water an hour？In a year, that would fill a small river！In environment clubs, students mend those broken toilets.

    We should love our environment. Let's work together to make it better.

    What is life's greatest gift? It is choice. Choice is the ability to choose some actions from a set of things to achieve a goal{#blank#}1{#/blank#}The reason is that it turns us from dumb animals into artists. Choice becomes the tool we use to sculpt（雕刻）our life. The tool doesn't come free, however, for the price of choice is responsibility.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}It is enjoyment.

    Choice is power. Choice is at the heart of life. It's the creative power of life. Life is always changing and we have to make lots of choices{#blank#}3{#/blank#} We often need to check where we are on our journey. We need to ask questions: Am I moving closer to my goals? If not, what action will I take now to make myself realize my goals?

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#}And our life becomes more convenient or comfortable because of them. For example, you decide which stores to shop at and which bus station to go to. But the decisions that we make to sculpt our lives are much more important than deciding where to shop. The more we understand the difference between small and big decisions, the more pleasure we will get.

    Life is like a chess game.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}All chess lovers realize that it isn't necessary to win to enjoy the game. Make the best moves you can under the conditions. Then you can enjoy your life.

A. Why is choice so great?

B. The pleasure is in the playing.

C. In fact, we have to make choices every day.

D. But when we accept and carry it out, we get a great return.

E. Every choice we make leads us closer to or farther from our goals.

    Ms Lin, an expert on psychology, is giving a speech about how to stay relaxed.

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

    Whenever you need help, turn to your parents and friends for help.  It's better to speak the worries out and get some advice from others.  Sometimes you will feel relaxed when you find that someone else has the same problems as you do. 

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

    If you find yourself stressed out, try to find a way to let the feelings out. Doing breathing exercises, listening to music, doing some sports and taking a walk may help. Or just shout it out if the other things don't help you feel better.

    When you calm down, it's time to deal with your problem. You should find out what the problem is and figure out a way to solve it. If you can't solve all of it at once, you may begin by solving part of it. When you don't know what to do with your problem, you may become stressed.  But when you've found out what the problem is and have started solving it, you will find your stress gone.

    Every coin has two sides. Looking at the dark side can make you stressed and it won't help solve your problem. So why not look at the bright side? You may find your problem not too hard to deal with when you are less stressed out. And more ideas will come up to you when you are relaxed.

    After you have solved the problem or part of the problem, buy yourself a gift, go and see a movie or just hang out with your friends. You will enjoy the feeling of being relaxed.
