                    Say “No” to plastic bags

      In order to stop plastic pollution,China put a ban (禁令) on thin plastic bags (plastic bags thinner than0. 25 mm) . From June 1 ,2008? China stopped the production,sale and use of these plastic bags. It stopped shops from giving out free plastic bags to the public and called on the consumers to adopt healthy shopping habits to protect our

environment.

                    Why are plastic bags so bad?

      China's plastic bag consumption (消費(fèi)量) has rocketed to near three billion bags per day —that's about 2 for every man,woman and child on average (平均) 一causing many tons of plastic to go to landfill sites.

      The bags can take between 400 and 1,000 years to break down,and like all forms of plastic they do not biodegrade. They clog (阻礙) waterways and spoil the landscape. They also pollute the soil and water.

      Plastic bags also present a serious danger to animals. They often mistake them for food. Thousands of them die each year after swallowing or choking with discarded (丟棄的) plastic bags.

     Finally,producing plastic bags requires millions of gallons of petroleum (石油) that could be used for transportation or heating.

                       What can we do?

     Refuse plastic bags in shops,and try to recycle or reuse the ones you do have. Buy a cloth bag/ basket and keep it with you when you need to go to the shops.

1. When did China put a ban on thin plastic bags?

2. Why did China stop from producing the thin plastic bags?

3. What is another saying of “plastic bag consumption”？

4. What can you do if you go shopping in the supermarket?

5. Why does the writer think plastic bags are bad for the animals?

A little girl stood near a small church. She wanted to leave because it “was too crowded”. “I can't go to Sunday School ,” she cried to the pastor (牧師) as he walked by.

The pastor guessed the reason,and,taking her by the hand,took her inside and found a place for her in the Sunday School class. The child was so touched that she went to bed that night thinking of the children who have no place in the school.

     Some years later,this child was dying in one of the poor buildings. And the parents sent for the kindhearted pastor to meet their daughter. As her poor little body was being moved,they found a worn purse. Inside was found 57 cents and a note which read, uThis is to l) elp build the small church bigger so more children can go to Sunday School. ”

     For two years she had saved for this offering of love. Carrying this note,the pastor told people the story of her unselfish (無私的 ) love.

     Church members made a large donation. Checks came from far and wide. Within five years the little girl's gift increased to $ 250,000,a huge sum for that time.

      When you are in the city of Philadelphia,look up Temple Baptist Church,with 3,300 seats in it. Have a look,too,at a Sunday School building. It's so big that no child in the area will ever need to be left outside during Sunday School time.
