　　In most parts of the world, many students help their schools make less pollution．They join“environment(環(huán)境)club”．In an environment club, people work together to make our environment clean．

　　Here are some things students often do．

　　No-garbage(垃圾)lunches．How much do you throw away after lunch?Environment clubs ask students to bring their lunches in bags that can be used again．Every week they will choose the classes that make the least garbage and report them to the whole school!

　　No-car day．On a no-car day, nobody comes to school in a car-not the students nor the teachers!Cars give pollution to our air, so remember：

　　Walk, jump, bike or run．

　　Use your legs!It’s lots of fun!

　　Turn off the water!Did you know that some toilets can waste twenty to forty m³ of water an hour?In a year, that would fill a small river!In environment clubs, students mend those broken toilets．

　　We love our environment．Let’s work together to make it clean．

　　Leopards(豹)live in many parts of the world, from Siberia to Africa．They have a very beautiful yellow skin with large black spots．They live for about 15 years and eat small mammals(哺乳動物)such as zebras, monkeys, and antelopes(羚羊)．They sleep for about 12 hours a day．Leopards are very solitary(獨居的)animals．They spend most of their time alone in trees, where they wait until a small animal passes．They jump on the animal and then drag it up into the tree, where they eat it．

　　Like many animals, leopards are disappearing because people hunt them．They kill them for their beautiful coats．The Sinai leopard, for example, from Egypt, is now probably extinct(絕種的)

Pyramids

　　If you go to Egypt, you’ll see a lot of pyramids(金字塔)．The biggest of all is the Great Pyramid; it is about 137 meters high and made of 2,300,000 big stones．Each stone weighs about two and a half tons(噸)．The biggest ones even weigh fifteen tons．It took more than 100,000 men twenty years to build it．Nobody can tell just how the men cut, carried and lifted(舉)the huge(巨大)stones without our modern machines．

　　The Egyptian kings(國王)had the pyramids built for them-selves．They thought they had tombs strong enough to keep their bodies well until they came back to life．But they never thought that about 5,000 years later their bodies would be on show in museums．

　　Many teenagers(青少年)feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends．They believe that their family members(家庭成員), and in particular(尤其是)their parents, don’t know them as well as their friends do．In large families, it is quite common(普通的)for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice(意見)．

　　It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a circle of friends．Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone．This communication(交際)is very important in children’s growing up, because friends can discuss(討論)things too difficult to say to their family members．

　　However, parents often try to choose their children’s friends for them．Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends．The question of“choice”is an interesting one．Have you ever thought of the following questions?

　　Who choose your friends?

　　Do you choose your friends or do your friends choose you?

　　Have you got a good friend your parents don’t like?

　　Your answers are welcome．
