Even if you shop with plastic bags，always remember to recycle them. Most families don't realize the importance of eco－friendly living—especially children. So how can you help children start seeing green？Well，here are a few suggestions.

1). Don't buy toys—borrow instead. If kids are concerned，most toys start to lose their shine (光彩).Don't let the unloved toys gather dust around the house—instead，join a local toy library，give them to the library. And if you do buy new toys，try to buy toys made from wood and other eco－friendly materials.

2). Spend time outside. Make sure your child spends time learning to be outside. Let him / her get involved in nature by planting a tree，building a birdhouse，or taking a bike ride in a nearby park.

3). Teach green. Even if your child doesn't receive an environmental education in the classroom，there's no reason that you can't spread the word at home. Let your kid help out with separating your recyclables.

4). Stick with eco－friendly entertainment. Most kids may not seem like interested in the subject on the environment，but put it in a TV show and they'll change their minds. Give them a taste of the online cartoon show，and you'll finally find the children learn it happily and relaxingly.

When he was small, Hill was a famous bad boy.

At the age of 9, his father married his stepmother. At that time they lived poor in the countryside while his stepmother was from a wealthy family.

His father introduced Hill to his stepmother as he said, “Dear, I hope you notice in the entire shire this is the worst boy, who has made me have no other way. Maybe before tomorrow morning he will throw a stone at you, or do a bad thing you will never imagine.”

To Hill's surprise, his stepmother went up to him with a smile, held up his head and looked at him carefully. She then turned around to tell her husband, “You’re wrong. He is not the worst boy in the entire shire, but the cleverest and creative boy. Only he doesn’t find a place to show himself. ”

His stepmother’s words warmed his heart, his eyes full of tears. With this, he started building friendship with his stepmother. And this became the drive of his life, making him create 28 successful golden rules, which helped tens of thousands of ordinary people walk on the road to success.

Before his stepmother came, no one praised him smart, and his father and neighbors considered him as a bad boy. However, his stepmother’s words changed his life.

When Hill was 14 years old, his stepmother bought him a used typewriter and said to him, “I believe you will become a writer.” Hill accepted his stepmother’s gift and expectation, and started writing things to a local newspaper. He understood his stepmother’s strong feeling of interest in his family while he saw with his own eyes she had changed his family. Therefore, he would do as well as she expected him to.

The strength from his stepmother made him a rich man and famous writer in the United States and one of the most important persons in the 20th century.

I will say “No, thanks.” If everyone around me is drinking something, I would ask for something else, “No, thanks. But I’ll take a bit of tea if you have some.” If I really want wine, I just say, “Yes, thank you.” Unless they happen to know the Chinese customs, westerners will not ask you again and again after you have said you don’t want it.
