　　Taiwan lies in the southeast of China．It's the largest island in China．It has an area of about 36, 000 square kilometers and it has a population of over 20, 000, 000．It is rich in natural resources．Bananas, rice, tea and so on are famous at home and abroad．Clothes, food and so on are also well-known all over the world．Its beautiful scenery, such as Sun-Moon Lake and Mount Ali, and its wonderful climate make more and more travelers come to Taiwan．

　　Taiwan has been part of China since ancient times．Most people of the island came from Fujian and Guangdong provinces．All the people on both sides of the strait(海峡)have a strong wish to unite our motherland(祖国统一)．

　　You used to get free(免费)plastic bags when you shopped at the supermarkets, didn't you?But things have changed now．

　　From June 1^st this year, China has stopped its shops and supermarkets providing free plastic bags．Shoppers have to pay for bags if they need them．

　　“We hope this ban(禁令)will encourage people to return to using cloth bags, or using baskets for their vegetables,”said a notice from the Chinese government．“Plastic bags have led to a big waste of energy and do harm(伤害)to our environment．”

　　The Chinese use about 3 billion plastic bags a day．Each year we use 5 million tons of oil to make the bags．The bags end up in landfills(垃圾)or we have to burn them．Either way, they pollute the air, rivers and soil．It takes around 1, 000 years for the bags to break down．They are also dangerous to wildlife, which eats them without knowing．

　　Now a large number of Chinese people have begun to make their own cloth bags, and use them when they go shopping．

　　Do you have one?

　　Are you aged between 14 and 19 years old?Do you care about your local environment?Would you like to help make your area cleaner, safer and more friendly?If your answers are“yes”, here are a few easy things you could do to get started：

　　Knock on your neighbors' doors and find out what they would like to improve in your area．Set a date for a meeting and then make some plans together．

　　If you go away on holiday and leave your house, it's very nice to know that a neighbor is keeping an eye on it．It's a good way to make your living area safer．You could set up a neighborhood watch easily and quickly．

　　There are often old people living in the neighborhood．Often it's thankful to do their shopping once a week, look after their garden or walk their dog for them．

　　Some areas already provide places for people to recycle bottles, plastic and paper．Find out if this is done in your neighborhood．If it's not, do something about it．

　　So, go on．Just tell us what kind of plan you want to take part in．Then we'll send you more information．Take helpful action and help make your neighborhood a better place to live in!

　　A．The shorter boy replied,“When someone hurts you, you should write it in the sand from which the wind can erase it easily．However, when someone does something good for you, you should carve it on a stone from which the wind can never erase it．”

　　B．The taller boy asked him,“After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand, but now you carve on the stone．Why?”

　　C．Two friends were walking through the desert．During the journey they had an argument, and the taller boy slapped the shorter one in the face．The shorter boy was hurt．

　　A good student always has high scores．Our duty is to study well．However, some top students are not polite, and I don't consider them good students．

　　As for movie characters, I think Hermione in Harry Potter is a standard good student．She is top at school, and is clever, kind and brave．

　　A good student has a clear goal to achieve and never gives up．For example, our monitor is always concentrating(专心)in class．He doesn't care that we laugh at his silly gestures while he is trying to learn something by heart．In the latest exam he did best in our grade!

　　In my opinion, he or she who likes studying is a good student．They may not do well in exams, but they are always working hard and trying to improve．

　　I think Thomas Edison was a good student．He must have been bad in his teachers' eyes because he didn't get good school reports．But he became a great inventor at last．

　　High scores do not mean anything．There is a student in our school who always scores high in exams．Maybe he is a good student in his teachers' eyes．But I dislike him because he doesn't know how to care for others．I think a good student is always ready to help, and he should be one whom your classmates feel comfortable to be with．
