　　My brother, Henry, has a very good job at a bank. I couldn't believe him when he told me that he had decided to leave there. I tried to make him change his mind, but I failed.

　　“You should reconsider your decision (决定), ”I said. “You have already spent five years in the bank and you could have a wonderful future (将来). You might become a bank manager (经理) by the time you are thirty-five. ”

　　“I know,” Henry answered. “I have got no complaints (抱怨) with the bank. It is a pleasant job. The bank manager told me that my future was excellent (杰出的). ”

　　“Then why do you want to leave?” I asked.

　　“It's the money,” Henry said.

　　“But you are getting a good salary (工资), ” I answered.

　　“I don't mean that,” Henry said. “ What do I do in the bank? Well ,at the moment all I do is to count money. I find it very depressing (压抑). ”

　　“What is depressing about counting money?” I asked.

　　“You don't understand,” Henry answered. “I enjoy counting my own money, but I hate counting other people's ! ”

　　It's important to learn about protecting our environment. Here is a 5R rule for us:

　　1. Reduce

　　If you want to reduce waste, you should use things wisely（胆智地）. A large number of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses a little paper carelessly and throws it out, soon we would not have any trees left. Other things are also being wasted, and people don't know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to reduce the waste.

　　2. Reuse

　　You should always think of reusing the usable things before throwing them out. Give your clothes you do not use or the ones which are too small to the poor. In a family, you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters.

　　3. Recycle

　　Bottles, cans（罐子）and paper can easily be recycled. By doing so we save lots of time and money. For example, coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed flat（压平）and melted（熔化）and the metal things are made for new coke cans.

　　4. Recover

　　When you buy a box of apples, there may be a few rotten（腐烂的）apples, you have two choices: one is to throw the whole apples away, or you could cut off the rotten parts and use the good parts. In this way, you are recovering the eatable parts of food.

　　5. Repair

　　If one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it. If you want to change for better ones, it is better for you to sell the old things or give them to other people who can use them after doing something. It is true that North America is a “throw-away” society, but the time has come to change our way of life so hat we can protect our environment. Every one of us should try our best.

[　　]

(2)What's the right order（顺序）of recycling coke cans?

[　　]

(3) The “Recover”rule mainly requires us ________.

　　 Here is how one new teacher made friends with the students in her class on the first day of the school. When the bell rang, the teacher smiled at all the students. Then she said, “Good morning. How nice it is to have all of you in my class this year! I want to know each of you very much. I am sure we will enjoy working together.”

    The teacher smiled, used a pleasant voice, and acted in a friendly way. She told the students her name and wrote it on the blackboard. Then she told them something she liked to do and hoped to do with them during the year. The students knew that she liked many of the things they liked. Everyone felt that she meant what she said. Each of them wanted to know her better and be her friend.

　　 Then she let the students tell something about themselves. So they felt that the teacher knew them. Could you make friends as the teacher did?

　　 How do you get to know your classmates? One way is to find out more about them. During the break you can talk to them. You may ask them their names and the names of the schools they went to last year. They want to know about you, too. You may tell them about your interests or your holiday experiences. It is often easy to be friends with whom people have the same interests and play the same games. As you talk, the others may think, “I like to do the same things you do. It would be fun to be friends with you.”

　　 Remember! Just talking together in a friendly way is one good way to make friends.
