Arctic fox(北极狐)is a kind of small fox that lives in the Arctic．It grows about 50 centimeters long, not including its tail, 30 centimeters tall and weighs from 3 to 7 kilos．
The Arctic foxes are white or blue in color．The white ones are white in winter, but grey-brown in summer．The blue ones are blue-grey all year round．The Arctic foxes have long, thick hair that is called fur．And the long fur covers their whole bodies, including both their cat eyes and rabbit feet, to keep them warm in the low temperature in the Arctic．
The Arctic foxes feed mainly on birds, birds' eggs and other small animals．Teamwork is the way they look for food, and they don't like to do that alone．
Baby Arctic foxes are very lovely．They don't open their eyes until a week after their birth．For the first half of the year, their parents offer them food．They begin to look for food on their own when they are about six months old．The next year they can live alone．
Today, the number of the Arctic foxes is becoming smaller and smaller, because people kill them for their fur to make beautiful coats for money．Something must be done to protect the Arctic foxes．

Sometimes people call ours a “throwaway society”．That means that we're always throwing away old things and buying new ones．Many times, you no longer need something, but someone else may just need to buy one．For example, if your baby doesn't like his toy car any longer, why not give it to a nearly family who has a little kid?That's one less plastic toy car that they need to buy．It's also one less plastic toy that needs to be produced, packaged and shipped to the toy store．
Here arc some other ways to help save resources(资源)for the society：
★Use the other side of the paper．
★Use rechargeable(可再充电的)batteries for yourelectric toys, MP3 players, cell phones, and cameras．
★Choose reusable travel cups instead of disposable(一次性的)paper or plastic cups．
★Take your own cloth shopping bags when you go shopping．
★Drink tap water instead of buying bottled water．
And there are some things you can exchange with your friends, for example, books, toys, even clothes．It's a way for everyone to get something new without spending any money and without throwing many things away．

Children arc children after all, and most of them speak their mind．When they are just toddlers(幼儿), they are all lovely and lively．And it's so interesting to watch them speak like a grown-up．But as they grow, these same kids seem annoying and ill-mannered if they try to be a grown-up．
Conflicts(矛盾)go between parents and children．It's hard to tell who are right and who are wrong．A child of 7-8 always finds some reasons to have a conflict with it's parents．Whether it is about some toy, studies, a party or a company, there is always a difference between them．And it becomes worse when they answer you back．Scientists tell us that children should be treated with care．Yes, sure they should respect their elders．
We are partly responsible(有责任的)for this．At an early age we encourage children to behave like adults, just because we find it funny．The kids on the other hand consider this same behavior as normal and get used to it．And when it is not funny for us any more, we expect them to stop it, but by then it is already too late．Only when they reach a certain maturity will the children realize that answering back and being rude are not acceptable(可接受的)．Until then, most of the time their behavior is difficult to change, unless by force(暴力)．And use of force is against the every good idea, as it weakens the child's confidence．
So it is one thing to bring a child into this world but quite another to make them into well mannered citizens．The best way is to be a good example ourselves, as our children are the mirrors of us adults．

Long, long ago, a donkey(驴) fell in a dry well(井). The animal cried for hours as the farmer tried to think out what to do. Finally, the farmer thought the animal was too old and the well needed to be covered up anyway, so he decided not to try to save the donkey.
The farmer invited his neighbours(邻居) to help him. They began to shovel(铲) dirt into the well.The donkey cried harder.
Then a few shovelfuls later, he became quiet. The farmer looked into the well, and was surprised by what he saw.
While every shovelful of dirt hit his back,the donkey would shake(抖) it off and take a step(步) on the new layer(层) of dirt. As the farmer's neighbours continued(继续) to shovel dirt on top of the animal, the donkey would shake it off and take another step up.
Soon the donkey stepped up out of the well and ran away, to the surprise of all the neighbours.
The lesson we get from this story is that if life shovels some dirt on us. We must get out of the well and not let it cover us. We must learn to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a stepping stone(踏脚石). We can get out of the deepest well by never giving up!
