[1] To ensure the protection of our global village from pollution for us and for future generations, it is the duty of everybody to take an active part in environmental protection.

[2] They have often heard that there are dangerous levels of air pollution in big cities of the world. Yet little has been done to solve this problem. Researchers are telling us that it will certainly cost money to make there polluted cities clean. if not, people will suffer from a lot of serious diseases.

[3] As a result of continued pollution, it is sure that people have to pay more money in health care in the future. Then, cleaning up our water and protecting our food supply will cost us too much. Scientists are trying to inform us that in the future, they will save money and our natural resources by ___________________ now.

[4] It seems to me that people should pay more attention to the environment. The potential damage to the environment should be thought first. In particular, it is for those economists in governments to take the costs of harming the environment into consideration. Once they do that, it will be clearer to everyone that it will pay to change the way they currently go about functioning in society.

[5] Thanks to technologies, especially. clean technologies, a lot less pollution could be produced. It is just a matter of cost. And it will be very important that the developed countries not only just give old and useless technologies to the developing ones.

As any housewives who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows, there is far more to a family meal than food. Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more.

       Lewis carried out his study by videotaping the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents’ efforts to control the loud noise they make. That can have an important effect on the children. “In general the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the children’s IQ scores,” Lewis says. “And the more children there are, the less question-asking there is.”

       The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings (兄弟姐妹). Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention. “Middle children are invisible,” says Lewis. “When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are it’s the middle child.” There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention: “When the TV is on,” Lewis says, “dinner is nothing.”

Dear Editor,

     I used to be a doctor in the children’s department of a hospital. Sometimes I treated children who had been poisoned by medicine for older family members. The children didn’t know the medicine was dangerous; they just knew it tasted sweet. Children easily open the bottle that we now use in China.

     Some days ago I talked about medicines with an American. He showed me a sort of plastic bottle. The design was quite simple and I’m sure our Chinese factories could produce these bottles. The top of the bottle licks but can be opened by pressing down on it while turning. This is difficult for most young children to do, though grown-ups can open these bottles very easily.

  I’m certain that the expense of making such tops would be very small. As a doctor, I’d love to see this done. And most parents would be grateful.

yours Sincerely, 

Li Hua

There was once a young man who suffered from cancer. He was 18 years old and he could die anytime. He never went outside; but he was sick of staying home and wanted to go out for once. So he asked his mother and she gave him permission.

　 He walked down his block and found a lot of stores. He passed a CD store and saw a pretty girl about his age and he knew it was love at first sight. He opened the door and walked in.

　 She looked up and asked. "Can I help you?"

　 He said. "Uh…Yeah…Umm...I would like to buy a CD."

　 He picked one out and gave her money for it.

　 "Would you like me to wrap it for you?" she asked，smiling her cute smile.

　 He nodded and she went to the back. She came back with the wrapped CD and gave it to him. He took it and walked out of the store.

　 He went home and from then on，he went to that store every day and bought a CD, and she wrapped it for him. He took the CD home and put it in his closet. He was still too shy to ask her out. His mother found out about this and told him to just ask her. So the next day, he took all his courage and went to the store as usual. He bought a CD like he did every day and once again she went to the back of the store and came back with it wrapped. He took it and when she wasn't looking, he left his phone number on the desk and ran out.

　 One day the phone rang, and the mother picked it up and said, "Hello?"

　 It was the girl. The mother started to cry and said，"You don't know? He passed away Yesterday..."

　 Later in the day, the mother went into the boy's room because she wanted to remember him. She thought she would start by looking at his clothes. So she opened the closet.

　 She was face to face with piles and piles of unopened CDs. She was surprised to find all these CDs and she picked one up and sat down on the bed and she started to open one. Inside, there was a CD and as she took it out of the wrapper, out fell a piece of Paper. The mother picked it up and started to read it. It said：Hi...I think UR really cute. Do U wanna go out with me? Love, Jocelyn.

　 The mother was deeply moved and opened another CD...

　 Again there was a piece of paper. It said：Hi...I think UR really cute. Do U wanna go out with me? Love, Jocelyn.
