    A new rubbish sorting system (垃圾分类系统) has been put into use in Fangchengyuan Community in Beijing. Local people not only sort their rubbish, but also put QR codes (二维码) on it.

    "When the rubbish is collected and the codes are seen, I will get reward points to exchange for small gifts and even some money," one of the local people told reporters. "It's really creative and encouraging."

    This smart system has been carried out in 350 communities in Beijing. The capital of China has joined a list of cities in the country that take action to support rubbish sorting. For example, Shenzhen and Shanghai have made laws to punish people and organizations for not sorting rubbish correctly.

    China produces quite a lot of rubbish every year. Much of the rubbish is buried (填埋) in soil or burned without being sorted. Landfills (填埋场) take up a lot of land and have a risk of polluting the soil and water nearby. And burning rubbish can produce harmful gases. Through rubbish sorting, we can reduce the use of landfills and air pollution.

    What's more, rubbish sorting saves resources, which could bring economic benefits (经济利益). For example, a ton of waste paper can be reused to make about 850 kg of paper, saving 17 trees and 50 percent of water. Because of the benefits, some countries have developed successful sorting systems.

    Japan has a strict and detailed system. When people throw away a water bottle, the cap, the wrapper (包装纸) and the bottle itself have to go into three different bins. Every year, families receive special rubbish sorting timetables and directions from their local governments. They are advised to follow the timetables and directions when they throw away rubbish.

    In Australia, every family is provided with three rubbish bins—the red lid (盖子) bin for "general waste" like food and plastic bags, the yellow lid bin for "recycling" like steel and glass, and the green lid bin for "green waste" such as grass and leaves. On the streets, the bins are printed with pictures of the things that are allowed inside. It makes recycling quite easy.

Shenzhen rescued and captured nearly 10,000 dogs last year. 1,119 of them have been adopted (收养) by people after receiving treatment at the city's dog rescue centres, according to a report. 

Shenzhen has a total of four dog rescue centres, one of which is the Longgang Dog Rescue Centre in Honghualing Ecological Park. As the newest one, the centre was put into use in July 2020. It covers nearly 800 square metres and can accommodate (容纳) more than 4,000 dogs a year. 

According to the director of the centre, Liu Xiongguang, the centre is divided into eight areas — the office, reception, isolation (隔离), living, adoption, storehouse, activity and science popularization areas. 

The centre aims to accommodate, treat, help with the adoption of, and inform the public about the homeless or captured dogs in Longgang. If the dog owners are found within seven days, the centre will tell him or her to get back the pet, or the centre will adopt it. 

The first place the dogs set foot in is the reception area, where workers at the centre will take photos of them and record them on the list. The dogs with diseases will be isolated and other dogs will remain in the room to wait for the next step. After careful watching, the dogs are moved to the living area. Every dog enjoys a single room there. The workers will feed them and play with them in the activity area. 

People can go to the WeChat mini-program — Dog Raising Service of Shenzhen — to get information on the dogs at each dog rescue centre in the city. Dog lovers can choose their favourite dogs and then make a request for their adoption online.

The only thing better than reading a good book is reading it with others. In a book club, a group of people will find a book. Then everyone will read it by themselves first and then talk about the book with others. Reading is not just something you love doing by yourself. It's also fun to talk about what you' re reading with friends.

There are no rules(规则) of starting a book club. But it's better to have a plan for it. Here it is.

First, before you start a book club, you should think about" What will my book club be like?"" When and where will we meet?"

Then, ask your friends to come to your club. Think of eight to twelve people around your age. You may ask your friends for help, and they can ask their friends to come. These people may be your new club members. And you can make friends with them.

Next, having a topic can also help. The topic may interest members to look up more information about it. You might want to read stories about history. The topic" history" makes it easier to know which books to read. If every time every member helps find a book to read, you might know more great new books and writers.

Finally, make sure to read the book before the meeting. And then come to the meeting with questions to talk about.

In a word, it's better to do than to say. △

What is your favorite colour? Does it make you feel happy or relaxed? Some people think colours have a connection with(与…有联系) their feelings(情感). This may be true. Scientists ask 26,596 people from 100 countries about their favorite colours and why they like them. 

Many people think blue is a cool colour. Blue clothes can help you feel relaxed. And the colour blue can make people not eat too much. If you don't want to be fat, you may try to eat at a blue table. Blue can also mean sadness. When you are unhappy, you may say "I'm feeling blue". 

Yellow is the colour of the sun. It's a warm colour. When you walk in a yellow room, you may feel warm and comfortable. Many people like orange because it is also a warm colour. In factories(工厂), orange is the colour of workers' clothes. It can help them work better. 

How about green? When you do your homework for a long time, just stand up and look at the trees outside. You may feel better. 

Purple usually makes people think of beautiful things. On your mother's birthday, you can buy her a purple sweater as a gift.
