The word “low-carbon” sounds familiar to most of us. But do you know “low-carbon community”? What is the community like? What benefits (好处) will it bring to our environment? Let’s have a look at Hanbei Road Community of Ya’an, Sichuan Province.

Walking into the community, people can see the hanging environmental slogans (环保标语) at first sight. And the most eye-catching items are idle bins (闲置物品投放箱) around. Many people in the community would give their idle things into the bins. Xu Juan, a mother of two, once put a pair of gloves there. “I think it’s meaningful to help others.”

In order to encourage more people to join in the “low-carbon” activity, the community introduced a reward program. Anyone can get some points if he/she gives idle things or takes part in volunteer activities. With certain points, people can exchange things in the “low-carbon supermarket” in the community.

There is also an “exchange corner” in the community. People can exchange their idle things with others. If he/she is not interested in any idle things in the corner, he/she can donate his/her things to poor families in the community.

“We are trying to make the best use of idle things by free exchange and donation. We hope all the people in our community can live low-carbon life,” said Wang Lu, leader of Hanbei Road Community.

Tammy’s body was shaking! Today was her first trip to the dentist. She didn’t know what to expect.

What would happen? Would it hurt? Would she shout?

Mom said it wasn’t scary at all, but Tammy didn’t know. How bad would it be? The dentist would clean her teeth. Then he would take pictures of her teeth to see if they were rotten (腐烂的).

That didn’t sound too bad. She cleaned her teeth at home already. She liked to smile. She wanted clean teeth and didn’t want rotten teeth. Pictures and cleaning sounded OK with her.

At the office, many people were waiting. There was a fish tank (鱼缸) to look at and magazines to read. She chose a magazine and found it interesting. She didn’t have to wait long, though. Soon it was her turn.

The dentist was a kind, old man. He smiled and Tammy sat in a special chair. There were lots of lights and tools (工具). It didn’t make her comfortable when she opened her mouth. He looked really closely. He cleaned her teeth carefully and then took pictures of her teeth. Then she was done.

That was it? That wasn’t that scary. The dentist told her that she needed to come back again in six months.

The Merchant of Venice is a play written by British author William Shakespeare. In the play a young man named Bassanio falls in love with a girl named Portia. He needs some money. So he turns to his friend Antonio for help. But Antonio doesn’t have enough money, either. He plans to borrow some money from a moneylender named Shylock. Shylock, who is heartless and greedy, agrees to lend the money, but only on one condition. What condition is it? Let’s read the following story together.

“Shylock!” yelled Antonio. “Are you going to lend us the money or not? Answer me!”

Shylock answered him slowly. “Do you remember all of those times that you insulted(侮辱) me in a loud voice that everyone could hear? You once spat on me and called me a dog. And now you want to borrow money from me, a dog!”

“Look! I’m not asking you a favor. You can charge me any interest(利息) you want. I don’t mind. My ships will arrive any day now.”

“All right, Antonio. I’m willing to lend you the money. I won’t even charge you any interest. Just pay me back on time.”

Antonio couldn’t believe his ears. “What did you say?”

“I said you didn’t know me. You always call me a cheapskate(守财奴), but I am not. I will help you. I won’t even charge you a single ducat. However, there’s something I’m worried about. What if you don’t pay me back?”

“Don’t worry, Shylock. I’ll pay you back.”

“Well, I need some kind of a promise, don’t I? Three thousand ducats is a lot of money. If you don’t pay me back on time, I want a pound of flesh. I’ll take a pound of flesh from any part of your body.”

Antonio didn’t like what Shylock said. “No. I’d rather pay some interest if I’m late on the payment.”

“I’m afraid that’s no good,” said Shylock as he laughed. “Do you think I’d take money from another moneylender? Besides, this agreement is only a joke! Do you think that any lawyer or judge (法官) would believe me? Would they really believe that I want a pound of your flesh? You don’t have to worry about anything!”

Antonio agreed to the condition. The three men went to a lawyer and signed an agreement.
