Have you ever stayed in a hotel? Most Chinese hotels often provide guests with things like disposable（一次性的）toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers. Many guests like the idea because they don't have to bring their own. But if you travel to Beijing, remember to bring these things of your own. That's because some hotels in Beijing have no longer provided guests with these disposables. Many disposable things are made of plastic. People throw them away after only using them once. It's a waste of natural resources（资源）and is very bad for the environment.

In Beijing, people throw away about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and l,320 tons of lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take 100 to 400 years to break down. So the less plastic we throw away, the better environment we will have.

So, wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them again and again. Back at home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to do these things in your daily life:

Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones.

After using a plastic bag, wash it out and let it dry. Then use it over and over again.

Do not use paper cups.

At your school canteen（餐厅）,use your own bowls and chopsticks instead of disposable ones.

【1】Many guests like to use disposable things because they are very convenient.

【2】Some Beijing hotels have no longer provided guests with free disposable things.

【3】Plastic breaks down easily

【4】After using a plastic bowl or a bag, we'd better throw it away, because it's too dirty to use again.

【5】We should use less plastic things and protect our environment.

Some leaves from a tea plant fell into the water and remained there for some time. It produced a nice smell so he tasted the brown water. It was quite delicious, and so, one of the world's favorite 【4】(drink) was invented. A few【5】 (thousand) years later, Lu Yu, "the saint of tea", mentioned Shen Nong in his book Cha Jing. The book describes how tea plants were grown and used to make tea. It also 【6】 (discuss) where the finest tea leaves were produced and what kinds of water were used. It is believed that tea 【7】 (bring) to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. In England, tea 【8】(appear) until around 1660, but in less than 100 years, it had become the national drink.
