Don’t waste things. This saves money and reduces waste 【3】 (go) into the environment. Before we buy something new, think 【4】 it is really necessary---or maybe the old one will be just as good!

Use things 【5】 as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should repair them if things no longer function well instead of throwing them away and buying new 【6】. Don’t use a paper cup or a paper bag. 【7】 is better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again. We’d better buy products 【8】(make ) from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.

It is high time we 【9】（ take） action now ! If everyone makes a contribution to protecting the environment, there will be 【10】(little) pollution and the world will become cleaner and more beautiful.

As part of its risk assessment on animal cloning, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concluded that milk and meat from cloned animals and their offspring (后代)are as safe to eat as products from conventional animals. The FDA further announced that it would not require food products from cloned animals or their offspring to be labeled as such.

Consumer watchdog groups pointed out that the FDA’s analysis was based on limited data supplied mainly from the cloning companies themselves. In addition, while food safety is an obvious concern of consumers, it is not the only issue that makes people uncomfortable with animal cloning. For example, surveys indicate that 63 percent of consumers would not buy food from cloned animals even if it were labeled as “safe”. Concerns about the morality of cloning, as well as concerns for animal welfare, lead a big majority of people to oppose cloning animals for food. However, these issues were not considered by the FDA. Without labels to identify cloned foods, consumers who oppose animal cloning would be forced to make purchases against their principles without knowing. Consumers have a right to know how their food is produced so they can make informed decisions about what they buy and what they feed their families.

What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, red? 【1】 . Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist.

【1】 I thought I might be the only person left in the world who hadn't done an eBay deal. So, I decided to try my hand at online auction(拍賣).

Buying for beginners: Sign up on www. ebay. co. uk. Most items (e. g. tables, computers, and books)ready for auction will come with a picture and a short description; others may be marked with "Buy It Now" and have a fixed price. 【2】

If the item is being auctioned, you offer the highest price you are prepared to pay and eBay bids(出價)for you. The bid will be increased little by little until it goes beyond your highest bid, then you are emailed and asked if you would like to bid again. Auctions last up to 10-days and when they finish you get an email

telling you whether you have won the item.

【3】_: Sellers decide how they would like to be paid and you need to check this before placing a bid as you might not want to post a cheque or postal orders. The easiest way is through PayPal, an online payment system that takes the money away from your credit card.

Selling made simple: If you plan to sell on eBay, it helps to include a picture of the item. 1 followed my friends' advice and put up the items I wanted to sell for a 10-day auction, starting on a Thursday. 【4】

In recent years, scientists who have done DNA studies have offered a better way to understand cats. Unlike other animals that people feed, cats domesticated themselves, and, in a way, trained humans. Cats decided to live close to humans because doing so benefited the casts themselves.

Studies show that cats have lived with humans for about 12,000 years, since people first settled down and started farming. When people started storing grain, mice arrived and started eating the grain. Clever cats figured out that mice settlements where people stored grain were easy for hunting, so they started hanging around. Cats did what they needed to do to get the people to let them stay, but they kept up their independence. Over time, cats allowed humans to get a bit closer to them. Later, the farmers did befriend the cats. Certainly, it didn’t do them any harm because they could see the cats were really helping them out by eating mice.

Today, about a third of American families have cats. In most of those homes, the cats are still more interested in pleasing themselves than in pleasing their human families. A dog may do anything it can to make you happy, but kitty will teach you to make kitty happy.

On Mike Dunn’s farm, school children are laughing and playing. They come to have a hands-on experience of what it’s like to be on a farm. In a corn field maze, the corn is cut into tricky passageways that make it hard to find a way out. Their teacher says they come around once a year.

Learning another language isn't easy, but most people can learn a second language well if they’re willing to put in the necessary time. Here are some practical suggestions for studying effectively, overcoming anxiety, and learning the grammar and skills necessary for success in foreign language classes.

【1】Language learning is cumulative(積累): you cannot put it off until the weekend._【2】

Distribute(分配) your study time in 15 to 30 minutes period throughout the day
