I love to tell the story about how I met my best friend－Tiger．We met at the school fair(集市)．Each year, all the fourth-grade classes hold a school fair．Everyone in fourth grade works at the fair．Some sell ice cream, drinks and snacks．Others take care of the little children who ride the rides．
I got the second job and I've never regretted it, because that's where I met Tiger．My job was to help little children get on the back of a little horse．I kept telling the children to wait their turn and holding ice cream for them while they rode about．One thing was clear to me．I was growing older and should be more responsible(负责)．
Suddenly, a boy came to the horse．He took the little horse's reins(缰绳)! The horse stopped, and the girl on its back started to fall．I was trying to reach the girl when I saw Tiger go by my legs．It held the horse's reins and pulled the horse away from my legs．I caught the girl just before we both hit the ground．The girl sat on top of me．She was laughing at the ice cream on my face．The horse's reins were in Tiger's mouth!
Thanks to Tiger's fast action, I saved the little girl．We were both heroes．And Tiger, the fastest dog I've ever known became my new best friend．

Many children love to play with snow in winter．But Long Chuan has come to hate it．
This year his hometown suffered from snowstorms for nearly a month．The heavy snow stopped cars and trains．broke the electricity(电)tower and turned tap water to ice．
Every day Long Chuan had to walk several kilometers to carry drinking water．“I couldn’t ride a bike and it took me 3 hours to walk to schoo1．I can’t remember how many times l slipped(滑倒)on the hard ice．” said Long Chuan．
Long is not alone．This year millions of people in central and southern China had a freezing winter without enough water and electricity．The biggest snowstorms in 50 years killed more than 100 people．They also cost the country 111.1 billion yuan．

It's not easy to be an astronaut's son．Everybody expects you to be special or perfect．I often wonder how my father ever had a son like me．I mean he's so special and so good at everything he does．Even in middle school he was class president and captain of the football team．
Well, to be honest, I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something special－like saving a child from a burning building or discovering a new star．I was daydreaming at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Father's Day writing competition for the whole schoo1．“I hope we have a winner right here in my class．”
When I got home, I started to think about what to write．My father is an astronaut．N0, I wouldn't start like that．That was the way others saw him．How did I see my father?Hmm．
I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream．I remembered how he hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car．Yes, these were the things I was going to write．To me, he wasn't just a world－famous astronaut．He was my dad．
My parents and l went to school Thursday night．There were so many people in the big hall!My dad looked at me, and I shrugged(耸肩)．
The third prize was announced and it was not me．I was relieved(释然)and disappointed at the same time．The second prize was announced．It was me．
I went up to the stage and read what I had written,“My father's son”．When I finished, the people stood up and cheered．I saw my father blowing his nose．Tears were running down my mother's face．Dad cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder．“Son, this is the proudest moment of my life．”
It was the proudest moment of my life, too．Maybe I'll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize, but it was enough just to be my father's son．

Most supermarkets in China provided free plastic(塑料)bags．It was convenient(方便)for people to do shopping，but things changed．To protect the environment，supermarkets all over China stopped providing free plastic bags from June 1，2008．If you don’t want to pay money to buy them，you’ll have to bring your own shopping bags．
What can we use to hold things we buy from shops? Students at Qingshan Middle School had some good ideas．One idea was making different kinds of eco-shopping bags．54 students at the school made their own eco-shopping bags．They held an eco-shopping bag show last Friday afternoon．Many students made the bags with used clothes．They painted pictures like the Olympic rings on them．Some bags were made of used materials like used paper，old newspapers．Some were made of eco-materials like bamboo(竹子)．
A boy student，Wang Lin made his bag with several old newspapers．We asked him whether the bag was strong enough．Wang Lin said it was．“No problem．I took six bottles of water in the bag from the shop to my home yesterday evening，”he said，“I think it’s strong enough to hold even ten bottles of water．”
Fang Yuanyuan，a girl student，had a more traditional way to make her bag－a bamboo basket．“It was a hard job．”she said，“With my grandfather’s help，I spent a whole afternoon making it．”
The students also asked their parents and friends to use eco-shopping bags instead of plastic ones．Next Saturday afternoon，the school will hold another eco-shopping bag show to help shops and stores get ideas from the students’ work．
