Dear Alan,

Guess what? I have a chance to choose my new place to live in! I’m excited and a little nervous. Could you please give me some help?

I’m not sure whether I will live in a house or in an apartment. On the one hand, a house will be too big for just one person, so maybe I should rent an apartment. On the other hand, if I rent a house, I could find someone else to share with me. The only problem is that a house full of people might be too noisy for me. I prefer to have my own space. The city has some nice apartments, but they are also too expensive. However, if I could find a two-bedroom apartment and get a roommate, that would make it more affordable. I just need to search for a roommate who is neat and quiet. You know I can’t live with someone who is loud and messy(凌乱的). I don’t have a car, so I also need to think carefully about the location. I probably need to look for somewhere near a bus stop or an underground station. That way I will have more time to study and spend less time travelling.

I’m looking forward to your reply.

Love,

Victor

Where Are We Going, Dad ? is one of the most popular television shows in China now. Fathers now take an active part in their children’s lives.

Five well-known fathers and their children travel around China, riding camels through the western deserts (沙漠), fishing in the east sea, and selling vegetables to get money back home in the southwestern Yunnan Province. One dad doesn’t know how to do his daughter’s hair, but he learns quickly and does it well now. Another one must stay with his son for three days in the desert, because he and his son don’t know how to cook, the two only eat instant (即食) noodles.

This show raises an important question for modern Chinese society(社会) —what is the role(角色)of fathers in today’s China? In the old days, children must obey parents’ wishes and look after them in their old age. But Chinese parents now think that discussing and respecting (尊重) their children’s choices may be a better way to prepare them for modern society. “As they raise their children, parents are growing up at the same time,” said Wang Renping.

We are used to seeing plastic all around us. From bags and bottles to toys and tooth brushes, plastic things fill our homes, schools, and offices. But what happens to these things when we are finished with them?

In the United States, recycling centers receive tons of plastic every day. Experts say that does not stop plastic trash from polluting the sea. Plastic can end up in the ocean if the wind blows it there or if people litter. The ocean is getting worse everywhere ,"says Charles Moore, an expert.

In 1997,Moore traveled from Hawaii to California by sea. On the journey, he discovered a huge “island” in the Pacific Ocean, The “island” was mostly made of plastic trash and it was twice the size of Texas. It became known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Moore has been watching the “island” ever since he found it. “It's 100 times worse now than it was then,” he said.

All this plastic in the ocean puts sea animals at risk. Animals can become tangled(使缠结) in plastic. They can also take pieces of plastic for food by mistake. The plastic makes them feel full,but they’re not getting any good from that,"says Jambeck, another expert. “They usually storve to death(饿死).

The plastic problem doesn’t just appear in the Pacific. Each year, more and more plastic ends up in all of Earth’s oceans. If we continue with business as usual, says Jambeck, the plastic in the sea will double by the year 2025. But there are things we can do to stop it. Jambeck suggests choosing reusable things and picking products with less packaging Moore says ,“It's everybody's problem." But it's one we can all help eliminate.
