5．Our environment isn't as green and beautiful as it should be．There are steel（钢铁） monsters blocking out the sun，blowing out dangerous smoke，and letting out poisonous chemicals into rivers，cars producing harmful waste gas，people throwing out waste in a wrong way and all other kinds of sources that ruin the planet．Facing current environmental problems，people need to do their best to save the earth．
You can see many big garbage dustbins in the streets．They're not there for a show，but for you to drop your waste．We should realize that what we do does count．So next time you get that urge to throw gum or a chocolate package out of the car window，or"accidentally"drop as you walk down the street，ask yourself how much waste you've been contributing to the environment with that bad habit going on for years．
At home，the first thing we can do to protect the environment is avoid letting water run continuously and make sure that taps（水龙头）are not leaky（漏的），which would help greatly in scrimping．Another is to use energy-saving lights，and turn them off before you leave the rooms．It is not only energy-saving，but also cuts down electricity costs．
Recycling is a method to make items reusable．Many things you want to throw out can be made into new products through the reproducing process．Use your imagination to come up with ways on things that you can use again．
Pass the message of simple ways to save the environment on to kids．Starting with kids is a good way of teaching the message early in their lives，in the hope that they can carry it forward as they grow older．
With environmental protection awareness in mind，we can do what we can，for the results are to have a big effect on the planet．As long as we do our part，the world is one small step closer to being saved．

4．Life comes in package．This package includes happiness and sorrow，failure and success，hope and despair．Life is a learning process．Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person．With each passing day we learn to handle various situations．
Love
Love plays a pivotal role on out life．Love makes you feel wanted．Without love a person could go hayward and also become cruel and ferocious．In the early stage of our life，our parents are the ones who shower us with unconditional love and care，they teach us about what is right and wrong，good and bad．But we always tend to take this for granted．It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others feelings．Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better．
Happiness and sorrow
Materialistic happiness is short-lived，but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others face gives a certain level of fulfillment．Peace of mind is the main link to happiness．No mind is happy without peace．We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow．Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one，failure and despair．But these things are temporary and pass away．
Failure and success
Failure is the path to success．It helps us to touch the sky，teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way．Success brings in money，fame，pride and self-respect．Here it becomes very important to keep our head on out shoulder．The only way to show our gratitude to god for bestowing success on us is by being humble，modest，courteous and respectful to the less fortunate ones．
Hope and despair
Hope is what keeps life going．Parents always hope their children will do well．Hope makes us dream．Hope builds in patience．Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour，because after every night there is a day．Nothing remains the same we have only one choice keep moving on in life and be hopeful．Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday，for it has passed and is beyond our control．Tomorrow is unknown，for it could either be bright or dull．So the only alternative s work hard today，so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow．

3．Although travelers can try dishes from around China and the globe in well-known food cities like Beijing and Shanghai，it is outside these major metropolises where a world of exciting Chinese cuisine（中国菜） awaits the true foodie（美食家）．With this in mind and after three years of living in China and writing about Chinese food，I started a six-month journey with my husband and two daughters．
Here are four of the eight most amazing Chinese food cities I've come across so far．The list is in no particular order．
1．Chengdu，Sichuan Province
Crowned as Asia's first UNESCO City of Gastronomy（美食学） in 2010，Chengdu is best-known for its fiery hot pot and spicy dishes，which are characterized by the use of Sichuan pepper and are usually layered with salty，sour and sweet flavors．There are also dishes that aren't spicy at all，such as beer-braised duck．
Hot pot is as ubiquitous in the city as the smell of chili．At Zigong Delicious Hotpot，the house specialty（招牌菜） tiaoshui wa is a cauldron（大锅） of fiery chili（辣椒） to which vegetables，noodles or other meats can be added．
For a real taste of Sichuan's signature（招牌）pepper，hua jiao，spend a morning at the Chengdu Spice Market where the locals sell and buy it by the sack．
2．Lanzhou，Gansu Province
Synonymous in the minds of food-lovers with hand-pulled beef noodles，Lanzhou also has one of the liveliest street food night markets in China．
Just west of the city center，the buzzing Zhengning Road bazaar（集市）houses more than 100street food stalls．Available is a broad selection of hot and cold dishes with emphasis on local Hui cuisine．
No trip to Lanzhou is complete without feasting on noodles at Wumule Penhui，the 2012winners of Lanzhou's annual pulled noodle competition．The halal restaurant makes noodles spicy enough to satisfy even the most hardened heat-seekers．
3．Guangzhou，Guangdong Province
The birthplace of Cantonese food，Guangzhou is thought by many as the best place to eat in China．The city of 12million has a passionate food culture，with equal excitement reserved for the opening of a hole-in-the-wall congee joint（粥店）and a high-end restaurant．
The local cuisine is characterized by fresh clean flavors（口味），seafood，barbecued meats and the wonderful tradition of yum cha，which is tea drinking accompanied by dumplings and small dishes．
Congee is the way locals love to start their day，and one of the most popular vendors is Ru Xuan Sha Guo Zhou．Here，one can get a bowl of signature seafood congee any hour of the day．
Roast meats are Bing Sheng's most popular order-their roast goose is marinated（腌制）with five-spice，boiled，air-dried，then roasted by a flame oven to give a crisp skin．
For something more home style and removed from the madness of downtown，head to Ji Cun for steamed chicken and simple farmer-style dishes．
4．Shaoxing，Zhejiang Province
This ancient canal city is home to huangjiu，an amber-colored rice wine that's important in Chinese cooking．
Open since 1894，the dining chain is known by almost every Chinese for its appearance in early 20th century novels by Chinese literati Lu Xun．
Xianheng's delicacies（佳肴）include crispy-skinned chicken，smoked red dates in rice wine，beans flavored with fennel（茴香），and crispy bream in rice wine．
Fried fermented（发酵的）tofu is also a local specialty，which is available all over town at small street stalls including one just outside Xianheng．
