How green are you? Do you know how to be green?

    We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you.

    Reduce

    Reduce means "use less". Don't waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary—or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.

    Reuse

    Reuse means "use again". Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should look after them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag. It's better to use a china (瓷器) cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.

    Recycle

    Recycle means "change things into something else". Though it takes energy to change something into something else, it's better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.

    So please remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.

There are many new ways of shopping and online shopping is one of them. You can buy almost everything on the Internet and it's very easy. First, you choose {#blank#}1{#/blank#}clothes, tickets, a mobile phone, even a new computer--and pay for it. Then you will receive it a few days {#blank#}2{#/blank#}by post. 

Online shopping has several {#blank#}3{#/blank#}First, you can shop at any time. The shops are always open. Second, shopping usually {#blank#}4{#/blank#}a lot of time. But to shop on the Internet you only need a computer and a mouse! 

However, many people like going out and shopping with friends. They don't like shopping on the Internet because they can't see the product or try the clothes on. Also paying {#blank#}5{#/blank#}the Internet isn't always safe. 

By drawing pictures on a cup of tea, chabaixi, an ancient Chinese tea art, has become popular recently. Chang Zhifeng, an inheritor（传承人） of chabaixi, noticed from a TV show that many people showed great interest in this art. 

Chabaixi can create different pictures such as bum boos and mountains. There are many steps, from grinding（磨碎） tea, pouring boil cd water, stirring（搅拌） the mixture, to finally drawing the pictures. After seven times of pouring water and stirring, there will be enough dark foam（泡沫）. Then we can draw pictures on it with clear water and a stick. The process of drawing, or dlancha, must be finished in 20 minutes before the foam disappears. 

"Chabaixi is one of the many forms of tea art in China. It becomes popular not only because it is a special Chinese tradition, but also because it gives us a window to see people's lifestyle in the Song Dynasty." Zhang said. 

Years ago, this special art was close to disappearing completely. Zhang Zhifeng started researching the origins（起源） of chabaixi in the 1980 s and brought the art back in 2009 after scars of sting and practicing. Chang thought it was really meaningful. In 2017, this art was listed as part of China's Intangible Cultural Heritage （非物质文化遗产）. 

"This art is key to the tea culture of the Song Dynasty, and it would be a shame to let it disappear. It is our duty to pass it on," Zhang said.

Good morning! My name is Cindy Smith. Look! This is my schoolbag. You can see two black pencils, a black pen and a brown pen are in it. A dictionary is in it, too. It's not mine. It's my friend Jane's. Is the baseball mine? No, it isn't. It's my brother David's. What's that? It's my sister Anna's CD. Oh, where is my ID card? It's not in my schoolbag. I lost it. If（如果） you find it, please call me at 328-3601.
