    In most parts of the world．many students help their schools make less pollution(污染)．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 drops of water an hour? In a year，that would fill a small fiver! In environment clubs，students mend those broken toilets．

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

    Have you ever seen blue ice cream topped with black fruits? That sounds foreign and not delicious at all! That’s the power of colors．It could either make your dinner more delicious or spoil(搞糟)the whole table．

    Scientists have found that blue may make people lose appetite．If you don’t want to eat too much at your classmate’s birthday party，put your cake on a blue plate．You’ll stop eating soon．

    Why is it that people don’t feel like eating when they see blue? It’s all in their mind．

    People relate the color of food they see with food in their memory．But where does one find blue food? There are almost no blue leafy vegetables and no blue meat．So people get a “foreign” or “strange” feeling about the food itself．

    Also，people naturally try to avoid being poisoned(中毒)．For thousands of years，blue．purple and black were “color warning signs”．Foods of these colors are most probably poisonous．

    Then what are tasty colors? Scientists say people feel like eating more when they see red and colors close to it．These fire people’s hunger neurons(神经元)and make the blood run faster．

    So what should go into dishes? You need to think it over before helping your mum with dinner．

2．If you put your food on a blue plate，you’ll __________________________．

3．People think that __________________________ are dangerous signs．
