A Student's Card

    At East China University of Science and Technology, students who finish their food in the campus canteen get a coupon (优惠券) when they return their trays(托盘). Students can collect coupons and exchange them for small gifts, such as books, magazines and mobile phone covers.

    “It has been such a surprise,” said Liang Zhaoyun, 19, a student in this university. “It has given us one more motivation (动机)to finish our food.”

    “The aim of the activity is not only to encourage students to finish their food. We hope it can also motivate students to choose a more environment-friendly and healthier lifestyle,” said Tao Siliang, a teacher of this university.

    But some canteen food is poorly prepared, meaning that students are not willing to finish it all.

    “Generally speaking, the dishes in our canteen are all right,  ①  .Most students are the only child in their family and aren't used to some of the dishes,” said Wang Guangji, a leader of this university. 

    What if you really can't finish all your food? The canteen provides a take-away service. “If you can't finish all your food,  ②  .Even if you feed the cat, it's not wasted,” said Zhou Zeyong, another student of this university.

    “I'm glad that we've reduced waste since starting the campus ‘eat-up' activity. But if we  ③  students not to waste food, we should also improve the meals in campus canteens,” said Wang.

    The four seasons in Beijing are different. It is dry, windy and sandy in spring and hot and rainy in summer. Autumn is the best season in a year when the sky is blue; the air is fresh, mild(温和的) and humid(潮湿的). However, winter is cold and dry with a little snow. The average temperature throughout a year is 11.7℃. The average temperatures of the hottest month July and the coldest month January change from 27℃ to -4.6℃. (A)Spring and autumn are better seasons for tourists to visit Beijing when it is sunny and warm.

    If you come to Beijing In spring, you could wear a thin sweater, a pair of pants, and a coat. (B)       In summer the temperature could reach as high as 30℃. (C)       Autumn is the most beautiful season, but after October the weather changes, so it is better to bring some heavy clothes with you.(D)       In winter, you need a heavy woolen sweater, and a long wind coat or a down jacket. Generally there will be two or three heavy snowfalls each winter, so it is always wise for you to have anti-skidding shoes with you when you come. Lastly, don't wear light-colour clothes in winter.

    I always knew that I depended way too much on my phone, but I didn't know how much. So I decided to do this challenge(挑战) to find out.

     Every morning since I got a smartphone, I've used The Weather Channel App to find out what to wear. On the first morning I had to dress without guidance, but thankfully I was able to guess that the day would be cold and foggy by looking out of my window.

    I couldn't tell what time it was. I haven't worn a watch for more than a year, because my phone showed the time. So I was late for picking up friends who had been on the bus for two hours from Santa Monica to Palos Verdes. I was also late for my part-time job. And even worse, I couldn't call people to tell them that I was running late.

    Getting to places was harder, too. I got lost because I couldn't use the GPS(导航系统) on my phone. My driving, though, got a lot safer because I no longer had my phone in one hand checking directions while driving with the other.

    But the number one trouble was not having my contact list (联络簿). I forgot to write down my friends' and family members' phone numbers before I started the challenge. It was sad to realize that I couldn't remember my brother's and my mom's cellphone numbers. Oh, how I wished to turn on the phone for just a second to look up phone numbers!

    Even with all the problems, however, I found peace not worrying about missing a text message or an email.

    This challenge was a great learning experience. It surprised me how I'd taken no notice of even the simplest things like remembering phone numbers. We all should take some time to think about how we can depend less on our cellphon
