①American teenager Rain Price was waved off (挥手) to school from the bus stop outside his house, by his dad, every day for a whole school year. OK, so that doesn't sound too bad, but this was no ordinary goodbye, because each day Rain's dad did it while wearing a different fancy-dress costume.
②It all started on Rain's first day of high school. Like many proud parents, Rochelle and Dale, Rain's parents, sent him off to school with a big wave. Feeling himself no longer a little kid, Rain found it quite embarrassing. That evening he said how unhappy he was when they waved him off. Then Dale had a great idea.
③The next morning, as Rain stepped on the school bus, he could hear his school friends laughing. He was shocked to find that his dad was waving him off, dressed as an American football player, complete with a ball and helmet. For the rest of the school year, Dale waved goodbye dressed in different costumes. One day he was a king, the next a cook, the following Wonder Woman.
④Amazingly, Dale only spent $50 on all of the costumes. He got most of them from the family fancy-dress collection and then several friends and neighbors were happy to help.
⑤Most of Rain's classmates looked forward to seeing what Dale would be wearing every day. Even Rain finally realized how cool his dad was.
⑥On the last day of school, Dale dressed up as a pirate (海盗) and stood next to a sign which said, "It's been fun waving at the bus. Have a great summer."

It takes lots of people working together to make changes happen. So share, share, share. ◇ Volunteer with more friends.

Reduce, reuse, and recycle! ◇ Before you throw something away, stop and think about what else it could be used for. ◇ If you don't want to keep some things, try to find out who else needs them. Our goal is to keep usable things out of landfills (堆填区). | Be friendly to wildlife! ◇ Make your garden wildlife-friendly. You could build a bee hotel, provide some food, or even create a pool. ◇ If you own a cat that goes outdoors, put a bell around its neck so that little wildlife can hear it coming and run away quickly. |
