Make time for friendships.

Nothing makes closeness fade away(褪色) more than never talking to or seeing each other. If

you cherish a person's friendship, make time for him or her,   1  it's just a phone call, e-mail or a weekly get-together.

Remember: a true friend doesn't flee when changes happen. Nothing is   2  for new parents

than to find that their unmarried friends have left them because of the coming of baby. A good

friend is one who stays true   3  it all in life – marriage, parenthood, new jobs, new homes,

and so on.

Make sure you aren't being a burden to a friend.

Friendships will lose if there isn't a   4  between the give and the take. Be sensitive to how

much your friend can and can't offer you –and don't overstep the mark.

Be a good listener.

It can be the hardest thing in the world to do – simply to listen as he or she   5  it all out or

is seeking your advice or opinion. To be a better listener, follow this advice:

Keep eye contact. Offer nods and murmurs to show that you understand his or her point of view. Don't finish your   6  sentences. While your friend keeps on talking, you should gently   7  yourself to focus.

Be in your friend's corner if he or she's not there to defend him or herself.

If you're at a gathering at   8  someone says something bad about your friend, stop him or

her   9 . Say, "Mary is my friend, and it makes me feel bad to hear you talk this way." Sooner or later, news of your loyalty (忠诚) will   10  back to your pal, and it will deepen your friendship.

The population of the Earth is growing faster. It is important that we look after the Earth. We need it!

The Earth gives us a lot of things. We also give the Earth a lot, but some of the things are not good.

In nature, when something dies, other animals and plants get food from it. Every animal or plant gives food for other animals or plants. However, animals can’t get food from many of the things that we ‘give’ the Earth. Animals and plants can’t eat metal, plastic and glass. These things will stay in the ground for many, many years.

Some rubbish is very dangerous for plants and animals. In some places, many animals live together. One animal makes food for many more animals. If we put rubbish and chemicals in the water, the plankton(浮游生物) can die. If there isn’t any plankton, many animals have nothing to eat.

    So what can we do? Don’t leave any rubbish in the countryside! Don’t make so much rubbish!
