It’s lunchtime．You’re hungry and want to get your favourite meal in the restaurant，but there are a lot of people waiting at the door．Don’t worry—in cyberworld (网络世界)，you can get your meal just on the Internet.

“Shopping has never been so easy．With just a single click on your mouse，anything that you ordered online can be taken to your door quickly，”said Bian Jing，a twenty-year-old girl．She took part in an online survival(生存)competition held in Shanghai．The competitors were given a little money to use online in 100 hours．

    “I don’t want to spend too much time shopping，so I like doing shopping online better than in a usual store，”said a boy from a middle school． “It’s easy to find the things you want online．”

    If the shoppers buy something online，they can find lower prices and wider choices of things．But many teachers and parents are worried that shopping online is becoming too popular．

    “It’s not a good way for middle school students to spend their money．”said a teacher．“I don’t want them to shop online．”

    “It’s also dangerous to lose money at online stores，because some of them just want to cheat(欺骗)shoppers．”another teacher said．

“Wow!”¨said Susan．“I have finished my homework and I’m going to paint a picture of our stairs(楼梯)．It’s for a competition in school tomorrow．”

    “Do you need any help?”Mr．Cooper asked．“It’s almost time for bed．”

    “I’ll be quick．”said Susan．“I wonder what colour to use．”

    “Well, our stairs are brown,”said her father．“Thanks，Dad．”said Susan.

    When she finished her picture，Susan began playing with her brush which was still wet．Then something happened．She dropped the brush right on the picture! There in the middle of her picture was a blob(污点)of brown paint!

    “Oh，Dad! What will I do?”Susan cried．

    “My picture is ruined(污损)．And it’s too late to paint another．”

    “Let me see．”said her father．“The paint blob looks just like a spot(斑点)on a dog．All you have to do is to draw a dog around the spot!”

    “That’s a wonderful idea!”cried Susan．She drew a dog around the blob of brown paint．“That looks just fine．You know，few things are as bad as they seem at first．With a little  imagination you can turn bad into good，”said Susan’s father．

    The next day Susan went to school early．

    When the competition began，Mr. King said，“I’ve chosen three pictures，and I want you to say which one you like best．That picture wins!”The children did not like the first one．The next picture was on black paper，but the stairs were red．So it was not so good．Then Mr. King showed the third painting．It was Susan’s!

    “The stairs are straight．”said Joe．

    “Yes．and the brown paint shows up well on the white paper，”said Lucy．

    “And look at the little dog．”said Terry．“He seems to belong there．”

    The children voted and Susan’s painting won．Mr. King handed her the prize-some paints．

    “Susan had a good idea．”Mr. King said．”That little dog finished a good painting．It made the stairs seem real．”

    Susan smiled．She would not give away her secret．But she could hardly wait to tell her father the news．He was right．With a little imagination you can turn something bad into something good!

Most supermarkets in China provided free plastic bags．It was convenient for people to do shopping，but things changed．To protect the environment，supermarkets all over China stopped providing free plastic bags from June 1，2008．If you don’t want to pay money to buy them，you’ll have to bring your own shopping bags．

    What can we use to hold things we buy from shops? Students at Qingshan Middle School had some good ideas．One idea was making different kinds of eco-shopping bags．54students at the school made their own eco-shopping bags．They held an eco-shopping bag show last Friday afternoon．Many students made the bags with used clothes．They painted pictures like the Olympic rings on them．Some bags were made of used materials like used paper，old newspapers．Some were made of eco-materials like bamboo．

    A boy student，Wang Lin made his bag with several old newspapers．We asked him whether the bag was strong enough．Wang Lin said it was．“No problem．I took six bottles of water in the bag from the shop to my home yesterday evening，”he said，“I think it’s strong enough to hold even ten bottles of water．”

    Fang Yuanyuan，a girl student，had a more traditional way to make her bag—a bamboo basket．“It was a hard job．”she said，“With my grandfather’s help，I spent a whole afternoon making it．”

The students also asked their parents and friends to use eco-shopping bags instead of plastic ones．Next Saturday afternoon，the school will hold another eco-shopping bag show to help shops and stores get ideas from the students’ work．
