My sister and I have been trying to get people to stop dropping cigarette butts（烟蒂）for seven years．

One day, we were walking in our hometown and saw hundreds of cigarette butts on the ground．1．它们使小镇看上去如此丑陋以致我们决定成立一个阻止人们扔烟蒂的小组。 We called it "No Butts about It"．

At first, we drew pictures with "The Earth is Not Your Ashtray（烟缸）"written on them．We put the pictures around our hometown in parks, by beaches, and along roads．We wanted to make people understand that dropping butts hurts the environment．2．Most smokers don't think that dropping butts hurts the Earth．But it does! And so does all rubbish．

Later, we wrote to companies and asked them for money to help us．We used the money to buy ashtrays to give to smokers．We wanted smokers to carry the ashtrays with them so that they didn't have to drop butts．

At the moment, we are trying to get cigarette companies to put an ashtray in each pack of cigarettes．Some companies want to do it．Many people have started to join our group since it be- gin．Today there 45 other "No Butts about It" groups in America．And there are even groups in England, Australia and India．

Many newspapers have written about my sister and me over the last seven years．And we have won many prizes for our good work．But we are not interested in prizes．We just want to make the earth a better and cleaner place for animals, plants and people．One day it will be．

When I tidied up（整理）some old boxes under my bed, I found an old letter for me from my best friend. Her name was Minnie.
In the letter, Minnie wrote, “I am really sorry about before. Tell me if you will be my best friend again and tell me if you accept（接受）my apology . ”I wrote, “YES. I will be your best friend. ”
The twelve-year-old letter made me remember the time that Minnie and I spent together. We often wrote to each other during that time. One minute, Minnie and I would be playing happily together; the other moment we would get into arguments. But things would always be better again. She gave me a doll（洋娃娃）for my tenth birthday. I still keep it.
Finally things changed. We stopped writing letters to each other after she moved away, and I could no longer ride my bike to her house. Years later, she invited me to her sixteenth birthday party. I don’t see Minnie very often from then on. But I’ll always keep the letter and I’ll never forget the time we spent together.
