　　John was seven．He lived with his grandparents in the countryside before he came to our class because his parents had to work in the city．They also had no time to take care of him．So he was a new student in our class．And he knew nothing about the things that happened in big cities．Now he was standing in the front of the classroom because Mr．Smith, the teacher, was asking John a lot of questions．But John couldn't answer any of them．Mr．Smith then decided to ask him some easier questions so that he could answer a few．

　　“What was Thomas Edison?”he asked．

　　John thought for some time and then answered in a very low voice,“A singer from America．”

　　“No．Thomas Edison was a great American inventor,”Mr．Smith said．He was getting a little angry now because everyone knows the great man, but he was trying not to let his students see that．Then he asked again．“Who was the first president(總統(tǒng))of the United States?”

　　John thought for a long time, but said nothing．Mr．Smith shouted,“George Washington!”John turned back and began to walk to his seat sadly．

　　“Come back!”Mr．Smith shouted．“I didn’t tell you to go back!”

　　“I’m sorry,”John said．“I thought you were calling the next student．”

　　One year ago I joined the environment group at my school in Delaware, US．I felt nervous joining．Everyone else in the group had been helping the environment for years, but I had never done anything to help the environment．

　　The first week I joined, the group decided to go and clean the highway near our school．We filled seven big bags with rubbish that day and we found many interesting things．One of them was an old army box．It had a gun in it!Our teacher told us to give the box to the police．Since then, my new friends and I have done a lot to help the earth．

　　One day, I went with the group to a nearby river．We wanted to check if it was clean．We did many scientific tests to see if the river was healthy．Surprisingly, it was!We still, though, took any rubbish we could find out of the river．We wanted to make sure fish could live there happily．

　　Recently, I helped the group plant flowers at our school．We're hoping the flowers will bloom(開花)this spring and make the school look beautiful．How did we pay for all the plants?We made T-shirts and sold them to our friends!We've still got some money left from selling the T-shirts．We're hoping to use it to buy some recycling bins(箱子)for the school．
