Dear David£¬

Yours,

¡¾´ð°¸¡¿Dear David,

It has been half a year since you left China. How¡¯s everything going?

Recently, an activity themed ¡°Foreigners Tell Chinese Stories¡± will be held in our school. Any foreign student who is enthusiastic about China can take part in it. I think you are suitable for the activity, for you used to live here and learned so much about the country. You can write about your understanding of Chinese culture as well as your personal experiences in China. You are expected to write a 500-word article in English. I¡¯d appreciate it if you could mail your article to chinesestory2017@126.com before February 1st, 2017.

I¡¯m looking forward to your participation.

Yours,

Li Hua

¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.

The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical household¡¯s waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.

Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.

But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.

There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize just how much unnecessary material we are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.

¡¾1¡¿What does the underlined phrase ¡°over-consumption¡± refer to?

A. Using too much packaging. B. Recycling too many wastes.

C. Making more products than necessary. D. Having more material than is needed.

¡¾2¡¿The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show _______.

A. the tendency of cutting household waste B. the increase of packaging recycling

C. the rapid growth of supermarkets D. the fact of packaging overuse

¡¾3¡¿What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?

A. Unpackaged products are of bad quality.

B. Supermarkets care more about packaging.

¡¾4¡¿What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. Fighting wastefulness is difficult.

B. Needless material is mostly recycled.

C. People like collecting recyclable waste.

D. The author is proud of their consumer culture.

¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿Smart Cameras to Help You Take Better Photos

Google Clips

One of the latest to launch (·¢²¼) is Google Clips. It is designed to be put somewhere in a room to take pictures by itself. It can also be attached to an object or a person¡¯s clothing.

¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿We¡¯ve all heard about the power of our attitude, and it¡¯s our attitude that determines how much we succeed in life.

All the things that you have been through, all the people you have met and interacted with can have an impact on your attitude. If you think that all these factors have molded you into a person with a poor attitude towards life, there is no need to worry. ¡¾1¡¿

Identify and understand what you want to change.

The first step towards change is clearly understanding what needs to be changed. ¡¾2¡¿ When it comes to changing your attitude, you need to do an honest and in-depth self-evaluation so you could point out exactly which of your traits need to be improved or totally changed.

¡¾3¡¿

Find someone who has the kind of attitude that you want to have, and let his or her life give you inspiration and encouragement to move beyond your temporary failures in your journey towards becoming a better person.

Choose the right company.

As they say, ¡°Bad company corrupts good character.¡± You don't expect yourself to be able to change if you go on surrounding yourself with people who possess all the negative traits that you want to change. Consider befriending new people, especially those who are optimistic and have a healthy attitude towards life. ¡¾4¡¿

Believe that you are able to change.

¡¾5¡¿If you don¡¯t believe in yourself or believe that you or your life can change, it just won't happen¡ªyou will either never start, or give up quickly that you won't have even given yourself the opportunity to succeed.

A. Look for a role model.

B. There is always an opportunity for change.

C. Setting clear goals is the key to success in any endeavor.

D. Think about how your attitude change will affect your life.

E. The greatest obstacle is our inability to trust in what we can do.

F. Your effort to change will be easier with these people as friends.

G. Fix your mind on the things that would come as a result of your attitude change.
