Being on the road at 3:15 am to drive 450 kilometers wasn't in my plans for the weekend. I had been looking forward to a few      days to prepare myself for the following busy      .

    My son, Simon, and his good friends were heading for the snowfield. I      my car to make sure that everyone could get to the drop-off point so that they could get together and enjoy their week's      by snowboarding and skiing.

    The only thing that l was thinking of on my journey was that as soon as I      and said goodbye,1 would make the trip       ,in total, a round trip of 900 kilometers in just 10 hours. Such a long drive in one day was frightening, particularly as I was looking forward to relaxation.

    Simon and I talked, on our way, a little about his break and a whole lot of his school subjects. It was great to have this time with him as we       spent five continuous hours together.

    On my return trip, I      a strange sense of loneliness in some heavy morning fog. Within an hour it cleared. I spent the next four hours listening to some CDs and enjoying the scenery. Surprisingly, after my long trip home l was      refreshed（恢复精神）and energized even though 1 was physically tired. And I knew that l would have a good sleep that evening.

    A change in your environment, no matter how great, can provide you with the chance to look at something from different ways, as well as to be refreshed and energized. Now I'm looking forward to my next        event and many more chances to spend quality time with those who are important to me and make my life more rewarding.

How to be a Green One
What does it mean to be green? “Green is more than just a c 76  .It also means taking special steps to protect the e77  --the water, the land , and the air we breathe. Why is green? Plants are green, and w78  them the earth wouldn’t be such a lovely home for human beings(人类). Here’s a four-step guide to be green:
R79  It!
When you use less of something, you do a good thing for the earth. For example, a shorter shower means you use less water and less fuel(燃料) because your house uses fuel to run the water heater（加热器）that warms up the water.
Reuse It !
Sometimes we’re a little too willing to throw away the w80 and buy new things. Many times, you no l 81  need something, someone else just might need it. For example, if your baby brother grows out of toys, why not give them to a82  family who has a little kid?
Recycle(回收) It!
Recycling has n83 been easier. Many people will pick it up right in front of your house and they will need it. Tell your mum or dad become “Head of Recycling” for your house.
Enjoy It!
It’s true that p84  is a problem, but the earth is still a large and beautiful place for you to go and study. You can start by v85  the beautiful places in you home town. Go for a hike, visit local nature centres and gardens, climb up mountains and so on.
