[1] While the Amazon may seem far away, we are all closely connected to it through our actions. Now there are largely the results of great demand for forest products and agriculture land, which makes its plant and animal species in danger. Fortunately, we can help save the Amazon rainforest by making the right choices in our daily lives. By being smart consumers, we can make a difference and help reduce human pressures on the forests and rivers.

[2] Look for forestt products that you don ’ t need to destroy forests to get. We can choose many rainforest products like Brazil nuts and coffee, which can be got without destroying forests. And at the same time the money you provide can help local people to _______________.

The other day I heard a few local musicians talking：

“I hate all the pianos in this town and I hate that rubbish they play on the radio．They cannot

even understand rhythm(韵律)”

“'Nobody wants to pay musicians anything．I’m sick of all the people who want you to play

without paying you .”

One younger musician said．“There are several clubs who want me to play．for a few nights a month．and I’m trying to find other places to play．

I’m also planning to join in several summer festivals this year．”Ｉreally liked what the younger musician said so I made friends with him．

Attitude is important．Whether they’re positive ole negative，they're all rubbing off on you．If

you’re around people who are always complaining or blaming(责备)others，it is possible that

you will start doing the same as well．If you spend lots of time with people who don’t support

your dreams，it is time to take a look at the people you call“friends”．

There is an easy exercise you can try．Make a list of the people who you often stay with ,and

simply stop spending time with the negative ones on your list．Set a new standard for yourself and

don’t become friends with people who fall below that standard．

Of course．this exercise is entirely different from making friends only for the good of oneself．We really should try to help and spend time with those who are working towards a goalor dream．

     If you like to break things when you are unhappy, the Nanjing Zhonghua Middle School is the school for you. This term, Nanjing Honghua Midlde School will build a "stress wall" to help students who feel unhappy because of schoolwork or for other reasons.

   Tao Dehua, a leader at the school said the idea of a stress wall started when

footprints were found on some newly painted walls and some school windows were

broken.

    "These things happen because some students feel lots of pressure from their

studies or because they don't get along well with other students. When under stress,

the body get ready to either run or fight and becomes very nervous. Hitting the wall

can help relax the body and take away stress," Tao said.

   "Tests and homework make me Sad," said Lu Yan, a junior girl. "I can't wait to

hit the wall. It will help me a lot with my problems."     

Another girl student who wouldn't give her name said that the wall won't help. "Mainly because it can't talk," she said. "I need to talk to someone when I'm sad."
