How often do you use your car? Can you use your car less often? Do you know the following facts in the UK?
·About 50% of all car journeys are just for fun.
·Over 80% people go to work by car.
·25% car journeys are under two miles.
·70% car journeys are under five miles.
WALKING & CYCLING

Instead of using the car for short journeys, why not walk or ride a bicycle? Walking is the most popular form of exercise—it's healthy and it can save money. If you work nearby, try walking or cycling instead of driving. Walking your children to school gives them valuable road experience.
BUSES

Bus companies are using new buses: some run on new fuelswhich produce less pollution; some have easier access(通路)for disabled and old people. There are special traffic lanes (行车道)to make bus journeys easier. So do something to help solve the pollution problem—-let the bus take you to work and your children to school.
TRAINS

All car journeys, long or short, can be hard work. For some trips, it is wiser to take the train. Leave your car at home and walk, cycle or take a bus to and from the station. Train travel is fast, safe and comfortable. Train tickets are not always expensive.

    When someone says, "Well, I guess I'll have to face the music", it doesn't mean that he is planning to go to hear a singer or attend a concert. It is something far sadder than you are called in by your leader to explain why you did this and that or why you did not do this or that.

    At some time or another, every one of us has to "face the music", especially as children. We can all remember Father's angry words "I want to talk to you". And only because we did not listen to him. What a bad thing it was!

    In the middle or at the end of every term, we students have to "face the music". The result of the exam will decide whether we will face the music or not. If.…that means parents' cold faces and contempt (轻蔑) of the teachers and classmates.

    The American novelist James Fennimore Cooper said in 1851 that the expression "face the music" was first used by actors while waiting aside to go on stage. When it was their turn to go on the stage, they often said, "It's time to face the music." An actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved onto the stage in front of the audience because they might be friendly, or perhaps they are hostile, especially if he forgot what he would say. But he had to go out. If he did not, there would be no play. He would lose his job.

    "To face the music" is well known to every American, young or old. It is at least 100 years old. It really means that you have to do something, no matter how terrible the whole thing might be, because you know you have no choice.

Even though African elephants are protected, many of them are still being killed for their ivory.

At the end of the 1970s, over 1.3 million elephants walked around Africa, but today, their numbers have fallen to around 450,000. This is mainly caused by illegal(非法的) hunting for ivory. Need for ivory in markets, especially in Asia and Africa, continues to push the illegal trade. This has resulted in the deaths of at least 20,000 African elephants each year.

Ivory, also known as "white gold", has long been considered valuable. Its unusual look has led to its use in lots of expensive things, including jewellery, musical instruments and art. And the ivory material itself can stand the test of time. So many people are willing to pay a high price for ivory products.

However, no matter how much real ivory is sold for, it's certainly not worth the harm to elephants. That's why some scientists are working to achieve the same beauty of ivory without killing any animals.

Thaddaa Rath and her team at the University of Vienna have created the ivory called "Digory". The high-tech ivory is made from synthetic resin(合成树脂) and calcium phosphate particles(磷酸钙颗粒). It's first formed into the shape by a 3D printer. And then it is color-matched and colored. Next, it is polished(抛光) to make it look like real natural ivory.

Although Digory looks so real that it is hard to tell it from real ivory, its chemical structure is completely different from that of the real one. Fritz Vollrath, a biologist who is against killing elephants for ivory, felt excited about the invention and spoke highly of it for the fact that Digory could save many elephants from risks. Scientists have made some achievements, but we still need to do more research to make sure that it is widely used. It's still hopeful that scientists can be able to protect African elephants by making high-tech materials to take the place of the real ivory.

Everyone wants to know what is out there in space. And almost everyone  {#blank#}1{#/blank#} of going to space one day. Since humans started sending spaceships to space, we've left space junk(太空垃圾) behind. Space junk is the name for any machine or pieces of spaceship left in space by humans. The junk mainly comes from spaceships we send into space, and it stays in space till it falls back to the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} . 

Right now, there are around 2, 000 working satellites (卫星 ) in space and we are {#blank#}3{#/blank#} of it. But scientists also feel nervous about the other 3, 000 old and broken ones. That's because the space junk can be very dangerous if they hit the spaceships or  {#blank#}4{#/blank#} in space. They have to  {#blank#}5{#/blank#} away from the space junk to stay safe. 

This  {#blank#}6{#/blank#} very terrible. To solve this problem, some companies have thought of new  {#blank#}7{#/blank#} for many years. One idea is to take away space junk from space and bring it back to the earth. And then, the junk will burn up(燃烧) in the air. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} this way, we can make sure there is less junk in space in the future. 

However, it is very hard  {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the secrets to make it come true. At first, it needs high technology(科技). Also, many countries can't afford it. Someone thinks it is  {#blank#}10{#/blank#} for scientists to solve the problem because it is really difficult. But we believe in them and look forward to the day when this problem is solved.
