Have you ever stayed in a hotel? Most Chinese hotel often provide guests with things like disposable(一次性的)toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers.Many guests like the idea because they don't have to bring their own.But ,if you travel to Beijing, remember to bring your own things.Starting from June, some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposables.They want to ask people to use fewer disposable things.
Many disposable things are made of plastic.People throw them away after only using them once.It is a waste of natural resources(资源)and is very bad for the environment.Do you know that one Chinese person makes as much as as 400kg of waste a year? Most of that waste comes from disposable things.In Beijing, people throw away about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 1,320 tons of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to bread down.So wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them again and again.
Back at home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place.Try to do these things in your daily life:use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones.After using a plastic bag, wash it out and let it dry.Then you can use it over and over again.Do not use paper cups.At your school canteen(食堂).use your own bowl and chopsticks instead of(代替)disposable ones.

You wouldn't steal a car.You would never rob(抢劫)a bank or pick someone's pocket.But you may be another kind of thief.
If you have ever bought a disc for 15 yuan or less, then you have helped to rob artists or musicians of their intellectual properly rights(知识产权).
Last Thursday was World Intellectual Property Day.Activities to tell people about intellectual property rights were held around the country.
Intellectual property includes inventions, literary(文学的)and artistic works, names, and pictures.They are of little value(价值)if they are not read, seen and used.
While the cost of copying discs is very small, authors, singers and actors have to spend a lot of money and time making a new product.That's why they have the right to make money from their work.
So buying pirated(盗版的)music of Jay Chou and Jolin Tsai is like stealing from them, paying them no respect for their hard work.
If Jay Chou cannot make money from his work, he may not make anything else.But those who make pirated goods are becoming rich without doing any hard work.
The authors should ask for a fair price for their work.Earlier this year there was much talk about how much KTV clubs should pay the music companies for using their songs.
The copyright fee(版权费)also should be fair to the users.That's good for the music's popularity and society as well.
