籾朕双燕(淫凄基宛才盾裂)

I walked into the grocery store, not really wanting to buy anything. I just wanted to stay there quietly ! the pain of losing my  11 was still too great. And this supermarket held so many sweet  12 . He often came with me, and always bought me yellow roses.

Standing  13 the meat, I searched for the perfect small steak  14 my husband used to love it.  15 a woman came up beside me. I watched as she picked up a large pack of T-bone steaks, dropped them in her basket,  16 , and then put them back. She turned to go and once again  17 for the pack of steaks. She saw me  18 her and she smiled. ^My husband loves T-bone steaks, but they are so expensive. ̄

^My husband  19 away eight days ago, ̄ I told her, and  20 to control the sadness in my voice, ^Buy him the T-bone steaks. And  21 every moment you have together. ̄

22 by my words, she placed the steaks in her basket and walked away  23 . But several minutes later she came towards me again,  24 a package in her arms. She was  25 the brightest smile I had ever seen.

As she  26 , I saw what she held. ^These are for you, ̄ she placed three beautiful yellow roses in my hands. I wanted to tell her what the roses  27 for me, but, unable to speak, only watching her walking away.

Looking down at the roses, I wondered  28 she knew it. Suddenly the answer seemed so  29 . I wasn¨t alone. There were  30 many people caring for me and willing to help me. Just be thankful for what you have and who you are.

In the past, man did not have to think about the protection of his environment(桟廠). There were few people on the earth, and natural resources seemed to be   1    .

Today things are   2    . The world has become too   3    . We are using up our natural resources too quickly, and at the same time we are   4     our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we   5     to do this, human life on the earth will not survive(侑贋).

Everyone   6     today that if too many fishes are taken from the sea, there will soon be none left. Yet with modern fishing   7    , more and more fishes are caught. We know that if too many trees are cut down,   8    will disappear and nothing will grow on the land. Yet, we   9    to use bigger and more powerful machines to   10     more and more trees. We realize that if rivers are polluted with waste products from factories, we will die.   11   , in most countries, waste products are   12     put into rivers or into the sea, and there are   13     laws to stop this.

We know, too, that if the   14     of the world continues to rise at the present rate, in a few years, there will not be enough   15    . What can we do to solve(盾畳) these problems?

If we eat more vegetables and less    16   , there will be more food available(辛誼欺議) for everyone. Land that is used to grow crops   17     five times more people than land where animals are kept.

Our natural resources will   18     longer if we learn to recycle them.

The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods of birth   19    .

Finally, if we educate people to think about the problems, we shall have a better and cleaner   20     in the future.
