Newspapers are very important in our daily life. Many people begin their day by reading the paper. In this way they learn what is going on in the world. Sometimes, however, they didn’t have the time to read the news carefully and must be pleased with a quick look at the front page. At other times they may be in such a hurry that they have time only to have a quick look at the headlines.

There are newspapers to please every reader. In big cities there are many types with several different editions（版） every day. In some towns there are fewer newspapers and perhaps only one edition each day. In some places the paper is printed（印刷）weekly.

Most papers have several editions, especially on Sundays when the edition is larger than usual. There are besides the front page with the most important news, the sports news, the amusement page, a business page and so on.

In most parts of the world, many students help their schools make less pollution. They join “environment clubs(环境俱乐部)”.In an environment club, people work together to make our environment clean. Here are some things students often do.

No-garbage(垃圾) lunches. How much do you throw away after lunch? Environment clubs ask students to bring their lunches in bags that can be used again. Every week they will choose the classes that make the least garbage and report them to the whole school!

No-car day. On a no-car day, nobody comes to school in a car-not the students and not the teachers! Cars give pollution to our air, so remember: walk, jump, bike or run.

Use your legs! It's lots of fun!

Turn off the water! Did you know that some toilets can waste(浪费) twenty to forty m³ of water an hour? In a year, that would fill a small river! In environment clubs, students mend those broken toilets.

We love our environment. Let's work together to make it clean.
