What does it mean to be green “Green”is more than just a color. It also means taking special steps to protect the environment-the water, the land, and the air we breathe. Why green Plants are green, and without them the earth wouldn’t be such a lovely home for us human beings.
Sometimes people can call ours a “throwaway society”. That means we are always throwing away old things and buying new ones. Many times, if you no longer need something, someone else just might need it.

Superman was the first comic book hero who had super powers. He can fly. He has powerful vision and hearing. He is called the “man of steel” because he is very strong. Superman protects innocent (无辜的) people from harm, fights evil and carries out justice.

When Superman landed on Earth, an old couple made him a home on their farm. As he grew, he learned that he had super powers. During the day he works as a quiet newspaper reporter named Clark Kent. He tries to keep his identity (身份)as a secret.
Superman was really born in Cleveland, Ohio in the early nineteen thirties. Two young men named Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster created the Superman character as a comic strip (连环画材料). Jerry and Joe both liked science novels. Joe drew the pictures and Jerry wrote the story. In 1938, “Superman” was published in a comic book called Action Comics Number One.
