Do you still carry things with plastic bags when you go shopping If your answer is yes,you’d better change plastic bags into cloth bags or paper bags.
Many serious environ. nental problems have been caused by plastic bags. It's reported that more than 50 0 billion plastic shopping bags are used every year around the world, most of them are thrown away as litter after being used and only 5% of them are recycled.
It is very difficult to deal with plastic bags.Scientists have found that if we bury(埋)plastic bags in land, it will take the land nearly200 years to break down the plastic bags. The land in which we bury plastic bags will be destroyed. Plastic bags are also very dangerous to animals. Some animals, such as sheep,birds, and even whales may eat the plastic bags by mistake. The poor animals which can't get treatment in time will die soon.
Some countries have taken measures to deal with the problems. For example, inIreland, the government passed a new law.Shoppers who use plastic bags need to pay 15%for each plastic bag as tax(税). In Japan,some stores will offer a lower price to shoppers who bring their own reusable bags for carrying things.

Mars is the fourth planet from the sun. It is141 million miles away from the sun. A year onMars is 687 earth-day long. One day is about the same as on the earth: 24 hours long.
Mars is about half the size of the earth.Because Mars is smaller than the earth, and its
gravity is also less. If you weigh 100 pounds on the earth, you'd weigh about 38 pounds onMars.
Mars’ surface looks like a red desert. There are mountains, canyons(峡谷), volcanoes(火山) and so on. It is a dry planet without any liquid water (液态水). It does have ice caps at its north and south. Some of this ice is frozen(冻结的) carbon dioxide.
Evidence shows that Mars once had rivers, streams, lakes, and maybe even an ocean. Scientists guess that there once was water on the surface of Mars that created these.Today the only water on Mars is either frozen in the ice caps or underground.
Mars has mountains that are much higher than the mountains on the earth. OlympusMons, the biggest volcano in the whole solar system, stands 17 miles tall! Mars also has bigger and deeper canyons than the earth's.Some of these are sixty miles long and five or six miles deep. How amazing!
