　　Our surroundings(环境)are being polluted faster than nature and man's present efforts cannot prevent it．Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry, more cars, larger cities, and the growing use of man-made materials．

　　What can explain and solve this problem? The fact is that pollution is caused by man, by his desire for a modern way of life．We make“increasing industrialization”(工业化)our chief aim．So we are often ready to offer everything：clean air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children．There is a constant flow of people from the countryside into the cities, eager for the benefits of our modem society．But as our technological achievements have grown in the last twenty years, pollution has become a serious problem．

　　Isn't it time we stopped to ask ourselves where we are going and why? It makes one think of the story about the airline pilot(飞行员)who told his passengers over the loudspeaker, “I’ve some good news and some bad news．The good news is that we’re making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour．The bad news is that we’re lost and don't know where we’re going．” The sad fact is that this becomes a true story when spoken of our modern society．

　　Many students ask for advice about improving their English．There are three basic questions．

　　The first question is about real English．Li Hao from Hubei wrote, “I enjoy watching English films and listening to real English songs．But it takes a long time．What do you think? ”

　　This is a great way to learn English! Talk about the film or song with your friends, and guess the meaning of the new words．Just enjoy yourself!

　　The second question is about speaking．Sam, from Suzhou wrote, “Our school has a foreign teacher．But I'm shy and can't speak to her．What should I do? ”

　　When I visit China, lots of people in the street say, “Hello! How are you? Where are you from? Do you like China? ” These are good questions to start a conversation．Many people are shy when they speak English, so before you begin, take a deep breath and smile! Smiling always helps．

　　The third question is about vocabulary．Olive, from Anhui wrote, “I want to remember all the new words．I wrote them down, but I forget them quickly．What should I do? ”

　　Try to remember eight or nine words a day．Write them on pieces of paper and place them in your bedroom．Say the words when you see them, and change them every day．And when you’re shopping, how about counting the English words, or saying the English names for everything you see?

　　As young students，you have many dreams．These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize．They can also be small．You may just want to become one of the best students in your class．

　　Once you find a dream，what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?

　　“Follow Your Heart” by Australian writer Andrew Marthews tells us that making our dreams real is 1ife's biggest challenge．

　　You may think you're not very good at some school subjects or that it is impossible for you to become a writer．These kinds of ideas stop you from getting your dream, the book says．

　　In fact，everyone can make his dream come true．The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is．

　　Don't let it leave your heart．Keep telling yourself what you want every day and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is，in fact，many small dreams．

　　You must also never give up your dream．

　　There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams．But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself．You need to decide what is the most important．Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better exam results，while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book．

　　As you get closer to your dream，it may change a little．This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies．

　　People believed for a long time that the heart was the center of a person's emotions．That is why the word heart is used in so many expressions．

　　One such expression is to "lose your heart" to someone．When that happens, you have fallen in love．But if the person who "won your heart" does not love you, then you are sure to have a "broken heart．" You may think that the person you loved is "hard-hearted, " and in fact, has a "heart of stone．"

　　You may decide to "pour out your heart" to a friend．Telling someone about your personal problems can often make you feel better．

　　If your friend does not seem to understand how painful your broken heart is, you may ask her to "have a heart．" Your friend "has her heart in the right place" if she says she is sorry, and shows great concern(关心)for how you feel．

　　When you are worried, your "heart is in your mouth．" You might say, for example, that your heart was in your mouth when you asked a bank to lend you some money to pay for a new house．

　　If that bank says no to you, do not "lose heart．" Be "strong-hearted．" Sit down with the banker and have a "heart to heart" talk．The bank may have a "change of heart．" It may agree to lend you the money．Then you could stop worrying and "put your heart at rest．"

　　The story told to all American children about honesty is about the cherry tree that President George Washington cut down when he was a boy．In China, every child knows the story of Lei Feng, the young soldier who helped others and was very honest．The stories of George Washington and Lei Feng help us understand the important of being honest．

　　Every teacher wants his or her students to be honest．If every student can be honest in their childhood, they will be honest when they become adults．Then the country will be known as an honest country and will be respected by everyone．

　　Usually, it is the father and the mother who give the first lesson of honesty to the children．George Washington learned honesty from his father．

　　A famous Chinese story was about a young man who went to the market to buy food for his mother．There was a very young girl there who was selling flowers．The young man stole one flower when the girl served her customers．When he went home, he began to think what he had done．He went back to the market to find the girl．He told her that he was sorry and that he wanted to pay her for the flower．The little girl refused and said, “You do not need to pay for the flower, elder brother．Since you took it, I thought you had a reason to take it so I did not worry about receiving money for it．” The young man was ashamed that he stole the flower．He could never forget about the importance of being honest．

　　Have you ever complained why life is so tiring? Does the sky sometimes seem dark to you? Are your studies sometimes not successful? Well, friends, cheer up and smile all the time．If you see the world with your warm heart, you'll find that whole world smiles to you．

　　While in school, sometimes you are tired of your lessons, but have you ever noticed the happy smile on your teacher's face when you did a good job?

　　One day it is fine．Just before you want to go out, it suddenly starts to rain．Maybe you would feel very sad and start complaining about the weather．But dear friends, why don't you sit down and listen to the free concert that the nature offers you? And with the timely(及时的)rain, crops in the fields will grow better and better and farmers will have a good harvest．

　　Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries to do, sometimes failure(失败)can't be avoided(避免)．I think failure is not terrible, and the terrible thing is that we are afraid of it and give up hope．

　　When we face failure, we must be confident in ourselves, draw a useful lesson from it and try our best to finish what we have to do．As a popular saying goes, “Failure is mother of success．”

　　Attitude decides everything．With an optimistic(乐观)attitude, life is easy and pleasant．Let's smile to whatever we meet and the whole world will smile to us．

　　It's important to learn about protecting our environment．Here is a 5R rule for us：

1．Reduce

　　If you want to reduce waste, you should use things wisely．Millions of trees are being cut down to make paper．If everyone uses a little paper carelessly and throw it out, soon we would not have any trees left．Other things are also being wasted, and people don't know what to do with the waste in big cities．So it is necessary to reduce the waste

2．Reuse

　　You should always think of reusing the usable things before throwing them out．Give your clothes you do not use or the ones which are too small to the poor．With a family, you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters．

3．Recycle

　　Bottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled．By doing so, we save lots of time and money．For example, coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed flat(压平)and melted(融化)and the melted things are made for new coke cans．

4．Recover

　　When you buy a box of apples, there may be a few rotten(腐烂的)apples．You have two choices：one is to throw the whole apple away, or you could cut off the rotten parts and eat the good parts．In this way, you are recovering the eatable parts of food．

5．Repair

　　If one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it instead of throwing it away．If you want to change for better ones, It is better for you to sell the old things or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair．It is true that North America is a “throw-away” society(社会)．But the time has come to change our way of life so that we can protect our environment．Every one of us should try our best．

For most people, the word “fashion” means “clothes”．But people may ask the question “What clothes are in fashion?” And they use the adjective “fashion” in the same way：“She was wearing a fashionable coat．” “His shirt was really a fashionable colour．”

But of course there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes．There are fashions in holidays, in restaurants, in films and books．There are even fashions in school subjects, jobs … and in languages．

Fashions change very quickly as time goes．This is natural．We hear about things much more quickly than in the past．Newspapers, radios, telephones, televisions and computers send information from one place to another in a few minutes．

New fashions mean that people will buy new things, so you see there is money in fashion．
