Do you still get free plastic bags from the supermarkets?Things have changed.
China has banned(禁止)free plastic bags at shops and supermarkets, and people have to pay for using plastic bags.The rule started on June 1.It came because our country tried to make litter less.Making super-thin(超薄)plastic bags has also been banned.
The Chinese once used about 3,000,000,000 plastic shopping bags a day, and they have caused pollution of the environment 环境污染).The bags have become a main cause of plastic pollution because they are easy to break and people throw them away here and there.So the Chinese people are encouraged to bring theft own bags for shopping.
What kind of shopping bag is the best to bring?Some students in Chongqing have a good idea.They make their own shopping bags.They use old clothes to make cloth bags(布袋), and send them to their parents as presents.They also ask theft parents and friends to use cloth bags instead of plastic ones.They think it is their duty to protect(保护)the environment.

Entering a university is an important part of a person's life.Today,many people go to study and train for future jobs in subjects like law(法律),medicine or education.But the university is not a modern invention.It has a history that is over a thousand years.
The world's oldest university,AL-Azhar,is in Cairo,Egypt.It was first built as a mosque for religion(宗教寺院)in A.D.972.A few years later,learners and teachers began meeting in the mosque.They read and talked about the subject of law.Around 988,leaders in the city of Cairo decided to open up a school for higher learning and the University of AL-Azhar was founded.
At AL-Azhar,there were many university“firsts”.Different subjects were set up.The earliest ones taught at AL-Azhar were law and religion.In a course, students read and studied with the teacher,but there was also free discussion.Of-ten,students and teachers talked about a topic(题目),and there was no“right”answer.Finally,famous teachers from around the world came to AL-Azhar to teach and do deep studies on the subjects they were interested in.At the university,people studied the past,but it was also a place for exchanging new ideas.
Over a thousand years later,AL-Azhar is still an important university in the world.Its library keeps more than 250 000 of the world's oldest and most valuable (有价值的)books.Today,many of the world's most important universities such as Oxford and Harvard still follow the traditions started at AL-Azhar.
