    As we all know, the environment around us is getting worse and worse. In some places we can't see fish 1 in the river or trees on the hills. Some people even have no clean water to drink.

    Recently, a new lifestyle called low carbon life is 2 every corner of our country. The meaning of low carbon is 3 energy and no waste. It is such an important project that I can't wait 4 my ideas on how to promote it.

    First, we should 5 a no-car day every week in our school. Because cars not only cause serious air pollution but also waste energy. 6 the no-car day, neither students 7 teachers are allowed to drive to school. At the same time, just walk or run. Use our 8 and enjoy the fun.

    Second, we had better not use plastic bags 9. No one can stand the “white pollution”, 10 it is wise to use cloth bags which can 11 again and again.

    12, one thing 13 we should keep in mind is that every big thing comes from the small details. So, as students, we ought to turn 14 the lights the moment we leave, use 15 sides of the paper, and reuse our textbooks and so on.

    All in all, it weighs greatly for all of us to put the low carbon lifestyle into practice. Just set our mind to these: no-car days, no plastic bags, and no waste. Let's do it now.

　　 Jeff Keith has only one leg. When he was 12 years old, Jeff had cancer. Doctors had to cut off most of his right leg.

       Every day Jeff puts on an artificial leg. With the plastic artificial leg, Jeff can ride a bicycle, swim, and play soccer. He can also run.

Jeff made a plan with his friends who had plastic legs, too. They decided to run across America.

      When he was 22 years old, Jeff Keith ran across the United States from the east to the west. He started running in Boston. Seven months later, he stopped running in Los Angeles. He ran 3, 200 miles. Jeff stopped in cities on the way to Los Angeles. In every city people gave Jeff money. The money was not for Jeff, but for the American Cancer Society.

      Your schooldays should be some of the best and happiest days of your life. You shouldn't waste this wonderful opportunity to learn. Here is our advice for you to have a happy school life.

      Advice 1 Be active in school! Don't say things are difficult or boring. Be interested in school life and your school subjects. Join lots of activities. Be quick to put your hand up. Go around the school with a big smile.

     Advice 2 Expect to work. School is not a holiday camp. If you are not working, you are not learning, and you are wasting your time at school. Teachers cannot make everything enjoyable.

     Advice 3 Keep fit. If you do not eat a good breakfast, you will be thinking about food in class. If you go to bed late and do not have enough sleep, you will be sleepy in class. Play some sports to keep your body strong.

      Advice 4 Do today's work today. Do not say you will do things tomorrow. If you get behind the class, it is very difficult to get back in front. You cannot finish a race if you rest all the time.

      Advice 5 Don't be too disappointed if things sometimes go badly. Everyone fails some tests, loses some matches and has bad days. Friends are not always perfect, and they sometimes say and do unpleasant things. Don't let small problems seem very big and important.

       Advice 6 Talk about problems—sometimes they are only the result of misunderstanding. Don't be too embarrassed to ask for help. You are young. No one thinks you can do everything!

       Advice 7 Plan your time. Don't waste life lying in bed on Saturday morning. Go and play a sport, learn the piano, work on a project, read a book, practise English, or help someone with problems. There are always a lot of things to do.

    Almost every child in big cities has the chance to go to school, but not all children in the countries are so lucky.

    There is a girl called Xiao Fang. She is eight years old and lives in a small village in Guangxi. When she was young, she wanted to go to school. But she could not, because her family was too poor to afford the school fees for her, so her parents had to keep her at home. Instead of studying, Xiao Fang worked in the fields with her parents every day. Then Hope Project heard about Xiao Fang. It agreed to help Xiao Fang to go to school. Her wish of study came true, and now she is studying in a school.

    Unluckily there are many thousands of children who can not go to school. You can join in Hope Project and help these children. You know all the good work needs money. Hope Project needs your help.

    If you give Hope Project ￥300 each year, it can pay for one child to go to school for a whole year. With more money, Hope Project can build new schools, buy good desks, chairs, blackboards and books. Let's help the children together and give them a chance to have a good start in life.

They have to get to know themselves, manage stress and develop their powers of concentration（专注）. So they can put all their efforts into their events.

        We may not be sports stars ourselves, 但是我们不得不面对相同的问题. We set goals for ourselves and think about personal development. We have to manage our fears before big exams. We worry about our friendships with both classmates and teachers.

Like sportsmen, we try to be mentally strong and give our best. Only few of us will be competing in the Olympic Games. But, all the same, there is much we share with sports heroes. Just like athletes, how we feel influences our decisions, behavior and achievements.

       Top athletes show us that success isn't simply down to chance. We can control the direction of our life's journey.
