“The grass looks greener on the other side of the fence (篱笆).”That’s an old saying in English. It means other places often look better, more interesting than the place where you live. Some people worry that young Chinese are beginning to feel that way. They see young Chinese ignoring (忽视) Chinese culture and instead, buying Japanese cartoon books, watching Korean soap operas and even celebrating Western holidays.
Foreign books and soap operas are good, but Chinese writers and actors are just as good. As for holidays, Christmas is nice, but it can never have the meaning for Chinese that Spring Festival has, and the West has nothing to compare with (与…相比) Mid-Autumn Festival. And let’s not forget the part of Chinese culture I like best: its friendliness. Not all countries are as warm as China.
It’s good to enjoy other cultures and to learn from them, but they cannot replace (取代) your own culture. It’s good to look on the other side of the fence, but make sure you take a good long look. You will find that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side of the fence.

Have you ever heard the phrase “you never get a second chance to make a first impression(印象)”. It may sound like an unusual piece of advice, but it is true—the first impression someone has of you when meeting you for the first time will probably influence how that person treats you or reacts to you in the future.
What is even more interesting is that the brain takes in all the information to create that first impression in about three seconds. When you meet someone for the first time, by the time you have told your name or shaken hands, the other person has already formed an opinion about the kind of person you are.
So how do you make a good first impression? All things grown-ups tell you—such as being polite, and being well-dressed—are very important. However, the most important tool for making a good first impression is your face. Smiling being responsive, and looking like you are happy will almost always leave a positive (积极的) impression on people, especially those who do not know you. Most people, generally speaking, are ready to smile back when they are smiled at.
Furthermore, smiling and being in a positive mood helps you to know and get a better understanding of new things. This means that you can possibly be friendlier to people you do not know and be more creative and able to solve problems more quickly. So if you ever need a reason to be happy, think about the wonderful people you might meet—and impress—with a cheerful smile.

We all have a first name and a last name, or family name. But for many of us, it doesn't stop there. 1. They mostly come from our real names.
Some of them are obvious (明显的): Tom is short for Thomas; Sam is short for Samuel. 2. Take the name William as an example. It can be shortened to Will, and also Bill. 3. During the Middle Ages, people liked to change letters to make names easier to pronounce. For example, a hard consonant (辅音) like Bis clearer than soft ones like W. Bill sounds much clearer than Will. Interestingly, the people of England even called King Wiliam III, who ruled in the 17th century, "King Billy".
Richard has also been a popular name in England for centuries. It was commonly shortened to Richand Rick to save time. 4. So Rick became Dick. This nickname became so popular that it included in an idiom. "Every Tom, Dick and Harry" means everybody!
5. England has had eight king Henrys. Yet most of them preferred to be called Harry. It is a tradition that continues today. The British Prince Harry's real name is Henry. I wonder if Harry Potter's real name is Henry.
A.We also have nicknames.

C.The most popular name for English kings has been Henry.
D.Also, like the name William, people liked to make rhyming names.

Why do we need to throw less away? There are two reasons. One is that some resources(资源) are nonrenewable(不可再生的). That means there is only a certain amount of that resource in the world. One example of this is oil. When we use up all the oil in the world, there will be no more.
There is another reason for throwing less away. All of our trash has to be put somewhere. Often, it is put into garbage dumps(垃圾场). Much of that trash will be there for hundreds of years. The dumps will be filled up with all this trash.
There are three ways to cut down on trash.
One way is to recycle. When you recycle something, it means it is made into another shape and used again. Old newspaper may become paper bags. A glass jar can be melted(熔化) and made into a bottle.
Another way to cut down on trash is to reuse things. You can wash and use again a bottle that can hold mustard(芥末酱) or something else.
The third way to cut down on trash is to reduce the amount of trash you make, stop buying thing that you don’t need in the first place. That reduce the amount of the earth’s resources that you use.
1.How many reasons do we need to throw less away?
______________________________________________
2.Will the dumps be filled up with all this trash?
3.If a broken plastic box is changed into a plastic ruler, what is the way is to cut down on trash?
4.Why do we wash and use again a bottle that can hold mustard(芥末酱) or something else?
