Do you think you're green? You're a totally modern citizen, aren't you? You keep your bottles and take them to the bottle bank. You have a black bin and a green bin, one for general waste and one for recyclable waste. Your car uses lead—free petrol. You use the same plastic bag every time you go to the supermarket. Maybe you even cycle to work from time to time. You are playing your part; you are green and environment-friendly. Well, I've got news for you:

YOU ARE NOT DOING ENOUGH!

If you don't believe me, look at these facts. Trust me, they're from a BBC website.

• On average every person in the UK throws away their own body weight in rubbish every seven weeks.

• Every year, the average dustbin contains enough unused energy for 500 hot baths, 3,500 hot showers or 5,000 hours of television.

• Every UK household produces over one tonne of rubbish every year.

• If all the aluminium drink cans sold in the UK were recycled, there would be 14 million fewer full dustbins per year.

• Just one recycled aluminium can saves enough energy to run a television for three hours!

• At Christmas over 83 square kilometres of wrapping paper is thrown in the bin.

• Almost three billion nappies (used for baby) are thrown away in the UK every year. 90% of these are buried and take hundreds of years to disappear.

Have I made you believe that you need to do more? No? OK, here are one or two more facts.

•Recycling just one plastic bottle saves enough energy to power a light bulb for six hours.

•Collecting dustbins and cleaning streets costs ￡1. 6 billion per year.

Surely you must believe me now. You need to do more. The good news is that there is some- thing else you can do.

One morning, Donnie copied the math problem clearly and ______, but he missed the fourth problem and began to cry with his head in his arms.

I didn’t know what to do. Suddenly, a smile __on Mary’s face. From the desk she got a box that _____ pencils. “Look, Donnie,” she said gently, kneeling (蹲在) beside him. “I’ve got something to ______ you.” She took out the pencils, one at a time, and placed them on his desk.

“See these pencils, Donnie,” she continued. “They ____ Mrs. Landon and me. See how the erasers are worn (磨损)? That’s because we make mistakes, too. But we erase the mistakes and try again. That’s what you ___ learn to do, too.”

She kissed him and stood up, “here,” she said, “I’ll leave one of these pencils on ______ desk, so you’ll remember that everybody makes mistakes, even teachers.” Donnie looked up with _______ in his eyes and a smile.
