Tomorrow is April 22. It is Earth Day. Our reporter Nick Ford interviews（采访）several people in the street. This is what they tell him：
9：24，Miss Mayfield
I try to tell my students that wild animals are important to us. I take them to zoos and forests，and I never use things that come from wild animals，for example（象牙），because they come from elephants.
10：03，Mr Perdue
I don't use my car for short journeys. I usually ride my bike. It's good for my health，and it doesn't pollute the air.
10：30，Tom Pitt
I'm a 14﹣year﹣old boy. My parents always ask me not to waste things in my daily life so I often write on both sides of paper and after I wash my face and hands，I often use the water to water flowers or clean the floor. And I often ask my classmates to do these like me.
11：01，Mr White
I'm an artist and I enjoy recycling art. Look at this model plane. I use some waste paper and boxes to make it. And I often keep my old clothes and use them for cleaning. I really hate wasting.

Children's games in ancient China | |
Flying kites | Kites have quite a long history. The earliest kites were made of wood. Now in China, the three most famous kites are the Beijing kite, Tianjin kite and Weifang kite, each of which has its own characteristic (特征). |
Playing diabolo | Diabolo is always made of wood or bamboo and is hollow (空心的) in the center. When juggled (抛接) on ropes, the high-speed rotating (旋转的) diabolo will make a sound. Playing diabolo is a very interesting game. |
Watching shadow plays | The closest thing to watch a film or television during ancient times was watching a shadow play. People control puppets (木偶) behind the screen while singing with music to tell a story. Shadow play was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in 2006. |
Setting off firecracker | Firecrackers have a history of more than 2,000 years. It is said that people burnt bamboo joints (节) to make it blast (爆炸) to drive away the beast named Nian in ancient China. Firecrackers are still set off during Spring Festival to symbolize hope and luck. |
From small ants to big whales, almost all animals need to sleep. Some sleep a little. Some sleep a lot. And some have special ways to get their sleep.
| Some seabirds spend most of their lives over the ocean. And they can sleep while they are flying. They can fly for many hours without moving their wings. |
| A flamingo can sleep while standing on one leg. The standing leg always stays straight. The other leg stays close to its body. Its head rests on its back. |
| Horses often sleep standing up. If a horse lies down, it needs a long time to get up. A horse can run from danger more quickly if it is already standing. And horses only need about three hours of sleep a day! |
| Giraffes win the prize(奖) for sleeping the least. They sleep about 30 minutes a day, and 5 minutes at a time. They lie down when they sleep. They rest their heads on their bodies or on the ground. What a strange way of sleeping! |
| A dolphin sleeps with just half its head at a time. The other half must stay awake(醒着的) to take in air and to watch for danger. Dolphin mothers and babies can go without sleep for as long as two months to stay safe. |
Want to be a football coach, a policeman or a model? If you could do any job for a day, what would it be? Takeover Day offers young people this chance.
Takeover Day is for young people to "take over" the day from adults (成年人). It gives young people experience in different kinds of jobs. Adults can also learn from young people's fresh ideas.
Here's what the students say about their Takeover Day.
Simon, 13, went to Coventry Football Club. He became a football coach for a day, "Having a try at training players was an unforgettable experience," said Simon. "If I have the chance, I will do this job every day." |
Sally, 15, became the head teacher of her school. "So many meetings! We even had no time for lunch." she said. But Sally thinks she learned a lot. "My favourite part of the day was meeting the school cook and improving the school menus (菜单) for the week. It was a great chance to tell her what we really like eating!" |
Paul, 14, spent the day with a doctor. Paul thought, " If everyone has the chance to follow a model for a day, they will be surprised." "They nearly worked for 20 hours a day," he said. |
