　　Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city．The building next door was only a few feet away from mine．There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading．

　　After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty．Everything was unclear through the dirty window．I would say to myself, "I wonder why that woman doesn't wash her window．It really looks terrible．"

　　One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside．

　　Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest．What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible．Her window was clean!

　　Then it dawned on me．I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window．

　　That was quite an important lesson for me．How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings?

　　Since then, whenever I wanted to judge (评判) someone, I asked myself first, "Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?"

　　Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly．

　　You may have known several kinds of police, traffic police, and street police．But have you ever heard of energy－saving(节能) policemen?

　　A group of 22 of these new policemen went to work last week in Beijing．They go around the city to see the use of energy in hotels, office buildings, shopping centers and onther public places．One of their aims is to make sure that these sites have set their air conditioning(空调) no cooler than 26℃．

　　They also set up a special phone line so that people can tell them which buildings fail to follow the rule．

　　“If everyone sets their air conditioning at 26℃, Beijing will save 400 million kilowatt－hours of electricity in one summer．That’s one－third of all the usage of the city in the season, ” said a TV advertisement．

　　Other Chinese cities, like Wuhan in Hubei Province and Yangzhou in Jiangsu Province, are going to follow Beijing’s steps in setting up a similar police team．

　　As one of the fastest developing countries, China is using a lot of energy．This has a great effect on the country’s environment and limited energy．

　　From 1986 to 2005, the country experienced 20 warm winters continuously．Numbers show that Chinese cities have to spend billion of yuan solving(解决) environmental problems every year．

　　At the beginning of this month, China made its first action plan to fight pollution．It aims to reduce energy usage by 20％ and increase renewable energy up to 10％ from 7％ by 2010．

　　To introduce the public to a green life, last week Beijing held a show on energy－saving technology and productions．Environment－friendly machines, such as a vending machine that helps colllect used bottles, have attracted lots of attention．

　　“We want to tell people that there are certain ways to protect the environment．Each of us can find effective ways to do it in our daily lives, ” said Liu Qianguang, an environmental engineer in Beijing．

　　You want to know about my staying in America, right?Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an eye－opening experience to study here．

　　In China, I had English classes five times a week since fifth grade．However, I didn’t know how different textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Connecticut．

　　When I first studied English, I was told to say, ”I am fine” when people say “How are you?” But in the US, I found that people say, “I am good” or “I’m tired”．

　　One day, someone greeted me with “What’s up?” It made me confused．I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn’t know what to say．

　　Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and US cultures．

　　To my surprise, US girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan(晒黑)．However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or “whiter”．

　　I was also surprised by how hardworking US students are．

　　In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard and that’s it．But here, a “good” student gets good grades, does a lot of for the public and plays sports or music．

　　The kids here are so talented, I am starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports．
