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．

Monty Roberts was the son of a poor family．He liked horses．He had a dream to own a horse ranch ever since he was a little child．

    One day when he was at high school, he was asked to write a paper．It was about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up．He worked hard on it，and wrote a seven-page paper．In the paper he described his dream of owning a big horse ranch someday．

    The next day he handed it in to his teacher．Two days later he received his paper back．On the front page was a large red F(fail)with a note that read，“See me after class．”

    He went to see the teacher after class and asked，“Why did I receive an F?”

    The teacher answered．“This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you．You come from a poor family．You have no money．Owning a horse ranch needs a lot of money．You have to buy the land．There’s no way you could ever do it．”Then he added，“Write this paper again．If you write it with a realistic plan，you may receive a better grade．”

    After sitting with it for a week，he turned in the same paper，making no changes at all．He said to the teacher，“You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream．”

    Monty kept his dream and worked very hard．Today he owns a large horse ranch with a big house on it，and he keeps that school paper he wrote on the wall of his sitting room．

    Last summer the same school teacher came to visit him．When the teacher was leaving，he said，“Look，Monty，when I was your teacher，I was something of a dream stealer．During those years I stole a lot of children’s dreams．It was lucky that you hadn’t given up yours．”

Have you ever stayed in a hotel? Most Chinese hotels often provide guests with things like disposable (一次性) toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo(香波) and slippers.

Many guests like the idea because they don't' have to bring their own. However, if you travel to Beijing, remember to bring your own things. Starting from June, some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests these disposables. They want to ask people to use less disposable things.

Many disposable things are made of plastic. People throw them away after only using them once. It is a waste of natural resources and is very bad for the environment. It is said that 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 l9, 000 tons of plastic bags every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down. 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 daily life Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones. After using a cloth 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 disposable ones.

1. Many hotels provide guests with some disposable things because they____.

Do teenagers in small villages do chores at home? How about the teenagers in big cities? Here is a survey．We asked 4,000 teenagers in China several questions．Half of them come from big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou．The others are from small villages．We made a diagram of the result of our survey．Let's have a look at it．

We found out that teenagers from small villages do more chores than those from big cities．Maybe it is because they live a harder life．Our advice to parents in big cities is that parents should give their children some chores to do．Doing chores teaches teenagers to look after themselves．
