Many of us were raised with the saying "Waste not, want not.” None of us,{#blank#}1{#/blank#}, can completely avoid waste in our lives.

    Any kind of waste is thoughtless. Whether we waste our potential talents, our own time, our limited natural{#blank#}2{#/blank#}（资源）,our money, or other people's time, each of us can become more aware and careful. The smallest good habits can make a big {#blank#}3{#/blank#}.  It's a good feeling to know in our hearts we are doing our{#blank#}4{#/blank#}in a world that is in serious trouble.  By focusing on {#blank#}5{#/blank#}（节省）oil, water, paper, food, and clothing, we are playing a part{#blank#}6{#/blank#} cutting down on waste.

    We must keep reminding {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（自己）that it is easier to get into something {#blank#}8{#/blank#}it is to get out of it. Actually, severe damaged {#blank#}9{#/blank#}to our land is fairly recent in the history of our evolution.  It's time for us to{#blank#}10{#/blank#}no to waste so that our grandchildren's children will be able to develop well.  We can't solve all the problems of waste, but we can encourage mindfulness.

    Waste not！

Over the past years Starbucks coffee{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(become) a coffee chain store. The cafes don't sell coffee; they sell{#blank#}2{#/blank#}very atmosphere. They offer customers the perfect atmosphere{#blank#}3{#/blank#} which to take time out and relax. Every single store throughout the world is furnished in a romantic style and {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(special) meant to be cozy, private and quiet: earth-toned (褐色调) space, fancy wall paper, lovely paintings,{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (amaze) background and irresistible coffee smell……The most fantastic decoration style about Starbucks {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(design) with oversized chairs and tables outside the store. When{#blank#}7{#/blank#}comes to a sunny afternoon, I love to take a seat outside,{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (bath) in the afternoon sunshine, and listening to the lovely music{#blank#}9{#/blank#}tasting the most terrific Cappuccino. This is exactly what I love in here —-the Starbucks ! This is the café I love not merely because of the café itself, but also because of the {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(feel) it brings me.

    China is a big old country，{#blank#}1{#/blank#} has a history of more than five thousand years. We are proud of {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(it) culture and part of the culture even influences the world {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (great), for example, the thought of Confucius(孔子). As Chinese economy develops very fast and plays {#blank#}4{#/blank#} important role in the world, more and more {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (foreign) learn Mandarin (普通话) in Confucius institutions. The Chinese traditional culture can be tested by the time. It unites the whole nation and no matter {#blank#}6{#/blank#} kind of disaster comes, we will fight together for the country's future. Today, many young people lose faith in traditional culture and they are crazy {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the western culture. They follow the western fashion, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (think) we are the old style. But some day, they {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(realize) they are wrong {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(ignore) traditional culture.
