People spent much money on these products, but at last, many of them were not like what the stars said.

What are the public’s ideas about the famous people making ads on TV? Do you agree that the famous people should take responsibility (负责任) if the products have any problems? A research shows that about 36% think it wasn’t the famous stars’fault(过错)，but they all think famous stars should give out the money they got from the ads or the charity(慈善机构).More than34%think the famous stars must take responsibility.They are dishonest and lose themselves in the public.

Ted, my little brother, is in Grade One. Last Friday he came back from school with a letter. The letter was from his teacher. "I got a red flower today. Could you please sign签字 this note?" he said to Mum. The note showed that he had been talking in class.

Ted hardly gets top scores in his school work. The best he gets is "OK", but often he gets "You can do better than this." Mum knows what it means. She tells me "You can do better than this" means "Extremely bad" in China.

In the USA, teachers never say anything too bad about their students, even if the students are making trouble in class or not working hard enough. The worst they might say is "Please be nicer tomorrow". Many parents are satisfied with对---满意 a B-grade for each subject.

But things in Chinese schools are quite different. Parents have________for their children. I sometimes felt that my second-grade cousin spent more time on homework than I did when I was a 6thgrader in the USA! Yet his parents and teachers didn't think he worked hard enough.

Is it too strict in China? Or is it not strict enough in the USA? Maybe both are true.

Today, too many trees are still being cut down in many countries and floods all over the world are getting more and more serious. A lot of land has gone with them. This is a lesson from the nature.

When people move into a new place, they often cut down trees or pull out many wild plants to make farmland. Maybe they don’t think they can eat trees or grass. They don’t know that the floods and the wind can’t wash or blow the earth away easily because of the trees, and that many of these wild plants are food for some wild animals, if the animals can’t find enough plants to eat, they will die or have to leave the place.

The number of trees, deer, tigers, wild flowers and plants has changed much –less and less. We need to do more to keep the balance of the nature.

Now more “Great Green Walls” are needed to save a lot of land and wild animals all over the world. People try to plant many more trees and grass to protect wild plants and all kinds of wild animals, even tigers. People came to understand : to protect all living things on the earth means to protect people themselves

Black Friday

Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday. The day after it has been known as Black Friday. It is the start of the holiday shopping season, and it has been the busiest shopping day of the year in the US since 2005.

Most stores offer big sales on Black Friday. They open their doors quite early in the morning. They try to attract shoppers with big discounts (打折). Some items (商品)like TVs and cloths are much cheaper than usual. Stores may even lose money on these items. They hope that shoppers will buy gifts for other people while they are in the store.

Black Friday is a great time to go shopping. However, there are problem. The biggest one is that there are not enough low-priced items. Each store may only have a few. These items are in great need, so people stand in long lines to get them. They may wait three to four hours before a store opens. They may be hoping to get a low price on a TV or computer, but not everybody can get one. Some people leave, disappointed.

The situation makes people worried. Some Black Friday events have been crazy. There have been fights over toys among shoppers. Some workers have even been hurt by large crowds. But most Black Friday events are safe and fun. Still, if you plan to go, you will expect large crowds and a bit of pushing.

So where does the name “Black Friday” come from? It was first used in Philadelphia in the 1950s. The police called this day Black Friday because of the heavy traffic it caused. In the 1960s, stores tried to rename the day “Big Friday”. It did not stick. The name “Black Friday” continued to spread across the country. It seems that it is here to stay.

Now people all over the country take part in Black Friday events. It is even spreading to other parts of the world. Stores have held Black Friday events in the UK, Australia, and Brazil since 2012. In Mexico, stores offer a weekend of discounts every year. They call it “El Buen Fin”, which means “the good weekend” in Spanish. I guess people everywhere like to buy things on sale.
