Dubai is a city of big business，expensive hotels，skyscrapers(摩天楼)，and shopping malls．In the early 20th century，Dubai was a successful trading port．People from the world stopped in Dubai to do business．But it was still a small city，and most people lived as fishermen and businessmen．Then in 1966，oil was discovered．This brought a lot of money into the area，and soon Dubai began to change．

Today Dubai is one of the world’s most important business centers．In fact，each year the city gets its money mainly from business，not oil．

Recently Dubai has attracted more and more visitors from abroad．They come to relax on its

beaches，and every year，millions visit just to go shopping！

Dubai is also one of the world’s fastest growing cities．Many tall buildings are built in months．The city also has many man－made islands．One of these，the Palm Jumeirah，is like a palm tree(棕榈树)and is very beautiful．

The city is still an amazing mix(混合体)of people from different countries．The people from 150 countries live and work in Dubai，and foreigners now outnumber Dubai natives(本地人)by eight to one！

Many people welcome the city’s growth．But an increasing number of Dubai natives worry about the speed of change．As a Dubai native says，“We must always remember where we came from．Our kids must know we worked very，very hard to get where we are now，and there’s a lot more work to do．”

What does it mean to be green？“Green”is more than just a color．It also means taking special steps to protect the environment—the water，the land，and the air we breathe．Why green？Plants are green，and without them the earth wouldn’t be such a lovely home for us human beings．

Sometimes people call ours a“throw—away society”．That means we are always throwing away old things and buying new ones．Many times，if you no longer need something，someone else just might need it．For example，if your brother is old enough not to play with his plastic bike，why not give it to another family who has a little kid so that they don’t need to buy one？And one less large plastic toy doesn’t need to be produced．

Recycling(回收利用)has never been easier．Many organizations will pick it up right in front of your house and some towns even require(要求)it．Tell your mom or dad you want to become“Chief of Recycling”for your family．Now that you know what things you can recycle，find a place to keep them．Make sure you encourage everyone in your house to think whether things can be reused or recycled before they’re thrown away．

Almost everyone likes traveling．But next time before you travel around the world，take a look at your own backyard．Is there a place where you could plant a tree or put in a little fruit or vegetable garden？If so，get there and get your hands dirty．Then you can watch with pride as your tree takes root，and your garden plants grow into big plants full of ripe，red tomatoes or tiny，juicy blueberries．Who/span> knew being green would taste so good？
