How did we help to save our earth this week? Let me tell you. First, my family tried to save{#blank#}1{#/blank#} . We never left the lights on when leaving the rooms. We turned off the TV when {#blank#}2{#/blank#} was watching it. Mum only used cold water in the washing machine. Second, we started {#blank#}3{#/blank#} this week. We tried to write on both sides of our paper, not just on one side. We also {#blank#}4{#/blank#} our rubbish into different bags. Mum kept the plastic shopping bags from the supermarket to use them {#blank#}5{#/blank#} rubbish bags. Third, my family started to save water. We stopped {#blank#}6{#/blank#} long baths and had short showers{#blank#}7{#/blank#}We washed the toilet with used water. Mum and dad used less water to do the washing. My sister and I didn't leave the tap running when we{#blank#}8{#/blank#} our teeth. At last, mum and dad began to save gas. Mum used to drive us to school, but now my sister and I started riding our bikes to school. It is{#blank#}9{#/blank#} work but good exercise. This week dad and a few of the people in his company also started to go to work in one car and share the costs.
These are great ways {#blank#}10{#/blank#} protect our environment.

    Once there was a very rich man. He had a lot of money, but he wasn't happy at all. He didn't know the purpose (目标) of his life. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(连词) the rich man asked a clever old man for help.

    The old man {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (take) him to a window and asked him, " What can you see {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (介词) the glass (玻璃)?"

    The man said, "I can see people coming and going along the street And there is a poor man {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (ask) for food."

    Then the old man took him to a large mirror (镜子) and said, "Now look in {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(冠词) mirror and tell me what you see."

After {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (look) at the mirror for some time, the man said, "I can only see myself."

    The old man looked at the rich man {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (smile) and said, "Did you find that both the glass of the window and the mirror are made of the same thing? The only difference (差别) {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (be) that there is a silver coating (银色涂层) on the mirror. So all you can See is {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (you) in the mirror. It is the same with people. You will be able to see the others when you take away that silver coating. It covers (遮住) your {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (eye). When you can see the others and feel compassion (同情) and 10ve for them, you'll find the purpose of your life and feel happy."
