D. Making mistakes is not always bad

E. My childhood dream

1.The world use 1 million plastic bags every minute. They can now be found in all parts of the world. Each plastic bag takes more than 1,000 years to disintegrate (粉碎)and never completely disappears.

2.When I was young, I thought space was wonderful. I spent all day imagining that I had my own spaceship. I would invite my cousins and my friends to join the trip and spend the whole day exploring other planets. That was my earliest dream.

3. In Brazil, people wear white clothes on New Year's Eve (31 December) because it brings good luck. At midnight people go to the sea and jump over the waves seven times. Then they throw flowers into the sea and make wishes for the New Year.

4. Over hundreds of years the Earth gets hotter and then it gets colder again. But scientists are sure that what’ s happening now is different. The world is getting warmer. For example, the way we use energy from coal and oil is making the planet hotter. This is one cause of climate(气候) change— it’s man-made.

5. Sometimes, good things happen because of mistakes. Once I got on the wrong train. That was a big mistake. But I saw a good friend on that train. I was glad I made that mistake ! When a good thing comes out of a mistake, that’s a happy accident.

Train stations and airports are crowded, babies are crying, and passengers are arguing. The same story also happens during rush hours in big cities every day. When there is a crowd, people lose their tempers(脾气)easily. What makes polite travelers suddenly forget their manners?

One of the causes is a crowded cabin(车厢). It makes you feel a distance from your sense of self. In other words, you’re no longer yourself.

Tiredness also makes travelers lose their self-control. Think about all those traffic jams on the way to a train station, the long line waiting to enter the station and the busy phone calls from family, friends and workmates. When travelers finally get on the train, their patience has already run out.

Besides, a lack(缺乏)of sleep gives travelers a temper. If we are forces to get up early, many of us will act much more impatiently.

So, how can we make the world a better place when we’re traveling with a big crowd? Try to improve the atmosphere(气氛). If it’s a flight, the air hostess could stand in front of the cabin, saying things like, “How many of you are going home?” or “Raise your hand if you’ve never been on an airplane before.”

What’s more, everyone can be helpful, such as giving the person next to you a smile, offering the seat to a needy person, and saying “It’s OK”if someone steps on your feet.
