Are you a fan of films? As we all know, for some films, you need 3D glasses to see them.I think it is easy to make your own 3D glasses instead of buying them.Let's have a try.

There are two ways to make 3D glasses. You can decide which way would be easier for you. The first way seems like the cheaper way but the things needed to make the glasses this way may not be things laying around the house. First print out a template(模板) for the glasses at http // paper project. org/ PDF files/3 dglasses. pdf. After you cut out the template, cut your cellophane (玻璃纸) to fit the holes in the glasses. Make sure you place the red cellophane on the left eye and the blue on the right. You can either stick or tape the cellophane inplace. You are now ready to use your glasses.

Another way you can make 3D glasses is to find an old pair of sunglasses. Take out the lenses(镜片). Get a piece of clear plastic and place the lenses on it, draw a line around the lens and then cut the new plastic lens out. Place the lens back into the sunglasses frame (框). Color the left lens red with a marker and the right eye blue. You now are ready to watch 3D films.

Jodie’s Daddy Is a Garbageman (垃圾清理工)

Mr. Swales wanted to find out what his students’ parents did. He had just called Jodie when some girls laughed. Shirley shouted, “Jodie’s daddy is a garbageman!”

Everybody in the class laughed out loudly, except Jodie. She felt her face turn red.

“Silence!” Mr. Swales said, “Being a garbageman is a difficult and useful job. We should all be grateful to Jodie’s father.”

Jodie’s father came to walk her home from school as usual, but she didn’t run up to him as she always did. When they got back home, Jodie went to her room and cried for a long time.

Her father came into her room, “What happened, Jodie? Why are you so sad?”

Jodie told her father what had happened and looked at him. He didn’t seem angry or hurt. “Well,” he said, “they are right. Being a garbageman is a dirty job. Tomorrow’s Saturday. Come to work with me, Jodie.”

The place really smelt too bad. Jodie wrinkled her nose. “Don’t worry, kid. In five minutes, you won’t smell a thing.” said her father.

Everybody there was working hard, and they seemed to have a good time. Jodie’s father handed her a pair of gloves and told her to get the little plastic bags and throw them into the truck.

It was fun, but also hard work. Jodie’s arms soon got tired. At last, no more garbage was left and Jodie felt very happy.

“Garbage is dirty, but when we clear it away, everything’s nice and clean. You can make yourself happy only by making others happy. That’s why I like being a garbageman so much.”

Jodie gave her dirty, smelly garbageman daddy a big kiss. She said, “When I grow up, I will be a garbage-girl!”

Now whenever someone asks Jodie what her daddy does, she says, “He’s a garbageman! Everybody makes garbage, but my daddy takes it away!”
