In most situations, light helps us see. But nowadays humans are using so much that it is in fact a kind of pollution.

When it comes to looking at the night sky, too much light makes it d  1.  for us to watch some of life’s most wonderful views: stars, p  2.  and even galaxies(星系).

According to scientific research, about 2, 500 stars can be seen by the human eye without u  3.  any special equipment(设备). But because of light pollution, you can only see 200 to 300 stars from today’s countryside, and no more than ten stars from a city. In most big c  4., people cannot see the sky filled with stars like they did in their childhood.

Light pollution affects more than just our view of sky. Research s  5.  that lots of nighttime light can harm wildlife, too.

When birds fly to a  6.  place over cities, they sometimes get lost by the brightness and fly in circles(圈) u  7. they drop from tiredness. Sea turtles need dark beaches for laying eggs, but they can’t find their ideal places because of those bright lights.

Too much light at night m  8.  even affect human health, but scientists are not sure of that. They are still learning more.

In order to prevent things from going w  9., governments and some organizations are working to reduce light pollution. Many cities and towns have taken action to reduce the use of lights at night. Lights are used only when and where they are r  10.  needed.

Hopefully, in the near future, humans can enjoy the clear and beautiful sky again and all the wildlife will live a peaceful and undisturbed life, too.

Flying foxes have b    7    once a year, giving birth to only one at a time. At first the mother has to c    8    the baby on her chest wherever she goes. Later she l    9    it hanging up, and brings back food for it to eat. Sometimes a baby bat falls down to the g    10

Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that thankfulness is indeed a virtue (美德).

— William Bennett

Thanksgiving Day was coming. The first grade teacher gave her class a fun assignment (作业) — to draw a picture of   1  for which they were thankful.

Most of the class might be considered poor, but still many would   2  the holiday with turkey and other traditional food of the season. These, the teacher thought, would be the subject of most of her students’ art. And they were.

But Douglas made a   3  kind of picture. Douglas was a different kind of boy. He was the teacher’s true child of weak and unhappy. As other children played at   4 , Douglas used to stand close by her side. One could only guess at the pain that Douglas felt behind those sad   5 .

Yes, his picture was different. When he was asked to draw a picture of something for which he was thankful, he drew a   6 . Nothing else. Just an empty hand.

His abstract (抽象的) picture caught the   7  of his classmates. Whose hand could it be? One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers   8  turkeys. Another suggested a police officer, because the police protect and   9  people. Still others guessed it was the hand of God, for God feeds us. And so the discussion went on — until the teacher almost forgot the young artist   10 .

When the children had gone on to other assignments, she stopped at Douglas’ desk, bent down, and   11  him whose hand it was. The little boy looked away and murmured, “It’s yours, teacher.”

She recalled the   12  when she had taken his hand and walked with him here or there, as she had the other students. How   13  she had said, “Take my hand, Douglas, we’ll go outside.” Or, “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.” Or, “Let’s do this together.” Douglas was very   14   for his teacher’s hand. Brushing aside a tear, she went on with her work.

The story speaks of more than thankfulness. It says something about teachers teaching and parents parenting and friends showing friendship, and how much it means to the Douglases of the world. They might not always say thanks, but they’ll remember the hand that   15  out.

We all need a healthy environment, but we p 1.waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the s 2.everyday activities can make a real d 3.to the environment. Here are some ideas for you to live a green life.

Remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.

Reduce means “don't waste things” .This s 4. money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think if it is really n 5. or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from a 6..

Reuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should take care of them so that they will last, and we should r 7. them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box b 8.you can use them again.

Recycle means “change things into something else”. A 9. it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or b 10.them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.
