Spiff was an elf(精灵)living at the North Pole. He worked hard all year to make toys. When autumn arrived, Spiff got very busy in Santa's workshop. He had to work very late into the night to make sure the toys would be ready for Christmas Eve.

One day, Spiff looked at pictures of Florida on the Internet after lunch. "I really need a vacation," Spiff said. Sif's friend Blip looked at the computer screen. "Why would you want to go to Florida?" he asked. "I would like to see what Christmas is like in a place where it doesn't snow. "It snows everywhere on Christmas," said Blip, "I don't think that's true," said Spiff. "They have palm trees in Florida, and palm trees(棕榈树)only grow in warm places. " I don't believe you. Prove(证明)it! "said Blip." "I will! "

On Christmas Eve, Spiff climbed into a bag full of toys and took a ride on Santa's sleigh(雪橇). Spiff looked out of the bag as Santa's sleigh flew high. Soon they arrived in Florida. Spiff was very excited. The air around him felt warm. Santa guided his sleigh toward a small, blue house. There was no snow, but there were beautiful lights in the Christmas tree. "I knew it! " Spiff said. He quickly took a photo to prove that it was possible to have a wonderful Christmas anywhere in the world, even if there was no snow.

When he was nine years old, an American boy named Milo Cress had a question—How many plastic straws(吸管) do Americans use every day?

He quickly learned there wasn’t a simple answer. The boy tried to find out the answer to his question himself. Through lots of research, Cress calculated (计算)that Americans use about 500 million straws every day. In hope of reducing plastic waste, he set up the Be Straw Free Project in the year of 2011.

Cress started the project in his hometown---Burlington, Vermont. He asked a local restaurant to stop offering straws to every drink order. It was a simple change. However, it would save money. And by doing that, the restaurant would cut down on its straw use by 50 percent.

After his project became popular, Cress took his findings on the road. He has spoken to tens of thousands of students around the world. He wants to encourage more people to say no to plastic straws.
