   Last year,four children waited for their school bus every day for ten minutes,on the same dirty street corner. There were old bottles,parts of old bikes,and 1 soda cans (苏打罐) everywhere around the bus stop. The trees were brown and had no leaves,and there wasn^ any flower at all. It was ugly.

   One Friday,one of the children looked at the corner and decided to do 2 about it. The next Monday,she brought a bag and 3 some of the old bottles to recycle. On Tuesday,she spent another ten minutes picking up old bottles,while her best friend picked up soda cans and put them in a different 4 for recycling. On Wednesday,all the children joined together. The corner became 5 !

   The corner looked better but it was 6 ugly. So the next day the girl brought some flower seeds (种子) . She planted the seeds and watered them,and watered the 7 , too. She only had ten minutes a day but that was enough.

   A few months later,this corner had become a beautiful 8 with pretty flowers and healthy trees. It only took ten minutes a day. Do you have ten minutes a day to help your city?
