1.Holly: How I miss the clear water and fresh air in my childhood! But everything has changed, that is, the clear water and fresh air are nowhere to be found again as they were. Above all, a great deal of waste hardly rots(腐烂) away.

2.Jimmy: More and more people are beginning to have a good knowledge of the

importance of a safer and cleaner environment, which in turn forces the business to be cleaned up.

3.Samantha: Organic products(有机产品) are getting more and more popular among people, but we should know the fact that organic products might also do harm to our health in some way.

4.Patria: I’m very much fond of growing some vegetables of my own in my small garden, for many vegetables on sale in markets are actually becoming more and more dangerous as a result of widespread pesticides(农药).

5.Derrick: Nowadays it is very convenient for consumers to find and buy green food in supermarkets as they are clearly marked.

A．"Organic produce is always better, "Gold said．"The food is free of pesticides, and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms．And it is tastier."

B．Market research shows that small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products．And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported(进口) to meet the need.

C．Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Careless ways of production and lack of consumer demand for environment-friendly(环保) products have made pollution problem more serious. Millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of.

D．However, today, more and more consumers are choosing "green" and care about the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: "Will this shampoo be bad for the environment?" "Can this be reused or can it only be used once?"

E．Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds．Some supermarket products carry labels(标签) to show that the product is green．Some companies have emphasized it in their advertising that their products are clean and safe enough for people.

F．The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business．No longer will the public accept the old attitude of "Buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it." The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.

 

The bullet (子弹头) train D106 from Changsha to Shanghai has a short stop in Quzhou for only one minute.
Named  21  the letter D, the new trains run at speeds of 200 to 250 kilometers one hour. This is much 22  than Z-type and T-type trains. For example, it  23  take people 12 hours to travel from Shanghai to Beijing. But now it only  24  10. The most interesting part of the bullet trains is the revolving (旋转的) seats. People can adjust (调整) their seats as they like, so that  it  is   25  for you to talk with others around you face to face. The new trains run   26  big cities. They   27 the long trips much faster and more comfortable.
However, many passengers still won’t choose the bullet trains   28  some reasons. The ticket
 29  of the bullet trains are much higher. For example, a hard seat ticket from Beijing to Jinan is only 90 yuan for T-type trains. But on the bullet trains all the seats are   30 . And they cost 153 to 184 yuan. On the other hand, the bullet trains don’t stop at small stations.

When I was nine years old, I used to go to the post office with my mother, sending greeting cards to my aunt in Singapore. To me, these trips were really    memories. And receiving mail through a mailbox outside our gate was just as exciting.

     My small hands could    get the mail without using a key! I always could never    to see how much I was getting. Oh, a letter! From Singapore! I would run back home and show it to my      . When there was a letter for me, I wouldn’t run—I would open it right there.

   After my family moved back to Singapore, I      going to the post office. Years later, my company sent me to Shanghai, and the post office found me again. Two years ago I celebrated my     with five friends on top of the mountain in Longsheng, China. At sunrise we    up to a beautiful view from the mountain top. Later in the afternoon, as we were going     the mountain and returning from the sunrise viewing place, a small   caught our attention. It only sold noodles, coffee and had a China       sign.

   We asked the owner if she could really send mail. She happily said yes. It seemed hard to believe,     we were at the highest top of the mountain. I picked one postcard out and asked my friends to write     a birthday note. We bought a stamp, wrote some notes and gave the shop owner the postcard.

   Three weeks later, I arrived home and      my mailbox: Hello, postcard! I broke into a big smile.

    That birthday postcard attracted me again to the post office and all its delights. I had    the post office all these years. Today I     send postcards to friends. And every time I am at the post office buying stamps, I cannot help but smile—how one postcard will make its way across the world and brighten up someone’s day.

Every day when I enter the classroom, I will take a look at the wall beside my seat. You will find nothing special about this old wall if you just look at it. But for the students in my class, it is a special wall. Take a good look at it, and you will get to know the real feelings and thoughts of us, the 9th graders.

In the middle of the wall, there is a big “VICTORY”. It was written in pencil. I guess it must have been written by someone who got a good mark in an exam.

A little higher above the formulas, there is a poem. It only has two sentences. It reads: All those sweet memories have disappeared. Like tears dropping in the heavy rain.

Oh! It must have been written at the end of the last semester in middle school. Classmates had to leave school and good friends had to part. What a sad poem!

If you look at the wall more carefully, you will find many other interesting things, like a crying face, or a happy face, and other patterns(图案). There are still some patterns and letters that I can’t understand, but they all show the feeling of the students who drew them.

For years, the wall has witnessed(目睹) all the things that have happened in the classroom. I don’t know how it will be next year, two years from now, or even ten years from now. But I hope more smiling faces will be drawn on it.
