A carpenter(木匠) wanted to stop his job. He told his boss((老板) about his plans and his wish to live a happy life with his family. The boss was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house. The carpenter said yes. But it was easy to see that his heart was no longer in his work. He just wanted to finish building the house as soon as possible.
When the carpenter finished his work, his boss came to check the house. Then he handed the front-door key to the carpenter and said, "This is your house.my gift to you.
The carpenter was very surprised! What a pity! If he knew he was building his own house he would do it all so differently.
So it is with us. We build our lives, a day at a time, often putting less than: our, best, into the building. Then, in great surprise, we come to know we have to live in the house we build .If we could do it over, we would do it much more differently.
However, you cannot go back. You are the carpenter, and every day you put something in the house. Someone once said, "Life is a do-it-yourself building. What you think and what you decide today help build the"house"you will live in tomorrow. So, build in a clever way!

阅读下文并回答问题。
Do you often travel? Do you often stay in a hotel? Most Chinese hotels often provide(提供) guests with disposable(一次性的)thing, like toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers(拖鞋). Many guests like the idea because they don't have to bring their own. But if you travel to Beijing remember to bring your own things. Starting from June, some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposables. They want to ask people to use less disposable things.
Many disposable things are made of plastic (塑料). People throw them away after only using them once. It is a waste of natural resources(资源) and is very bad for the environment(环境).Do you know, one Chinese person makes as much as 400 kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things. In Beijing, people throw away about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 2, 320 tons of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down(分解). So the less plastic we throw out, the better. 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 everyday life. Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones. After using a plastic bag, wash it out and let it dry. Then you can use it over and over again. do not use paper cups. At your school dining room, use your own bowl and chopsticks instead of (代替)disposable ones.
To protect our environment and our home, it is very necessary and important for us to save natural resources.
