We all know that recycling rubbish is very important. But sometimes it is not so convenient when we can't find a recycling bin anywhere.
A team of middle school students from the US noticed this problem, so they designed their Recycling Bin App (应用程序). This App provides users with a map of local recycling centers. And it allows them to save places as favorites on it. This App also reminds users to recycle.
The team, of nine students in Grade Six, is from STEM Center Middle School. They came up with the idea as part of a school project for the Verizon Innovative App Challenge. The competition was designed by the Verizon Foundation to increase students' interest in science, technology, engineering and math, or STEM. It asks students to think of an App that could solve a problem in their school or city. The nine students came up with the idea for Recycling Bin when they saw a need for more recycling.
“We thought that this would really help a lot of people,” said Jaden Hilkemann, 12.
“We worked together and it was great,” Jacob Pfeifer, 12, added that they learned a lot by working together. “At first, we all didn't agree on what we wanted it exactly to do, but in the end we all came to an agreement,” he said.
They kept their design easy so that anyone could use it. Now the free Recycling Bin App has been put into use in the Google Play App store for Android phones. A lot of people downloaded (下载) the App. It was pretty cool.

Did you sleep the day away on March 21 Well, you should have done that because it was World Sleeping Day. This is the one day of the year when people around the world care about their sleep and ask themselves a lot of questions about sleep.
Why do we need sleep Nobody as yet can give a correct answer to this question. However, tests have shown that lack of sleep over about four weeks leads to a strong drop in body temperature, great weight loss and finally sickness.

Some people seem to get along just fine with very little sleep at night. The American scientist Thomas Edison said that sleep was a waste of time. He did, however, he used to take naps during the day. On the other hand, Albert Einstein, another great scientist, said he needed at least ten hours' sleep a night.

She talked about the “givers” of this world. She said, “You will be a success if you make another person smile. If you are a friend to someone who needs a little help, you will get an ‘A’!”
After the ceremony, when all of the students were outside the hall trying to find their parents and friends, a man and his wife came to me and asked if I was Becky's mom.

Ana was born in Peru, but she was adopted (领养) by an American family and grew up in the United States.
While in Peru, Ana wanted to know what her life could have been like if she had not been adopted. She visited several orphanages (孤儿院), including one in the hills of Cuzco, near her birthplace.
“The orphanage was really cold and dry,” Ana said. “The paint was falling off... The girls were in poor health.”
When Ana returned home, she kept thinking of the orphanage in Cuzco. “I really couldn't get the girls out of my mind, and I really wanted to do something...Because I could have been one of those girls in that orphanage.”
Ana decided to start a group called Peruvian Hearts to help. Her goal was to provide orphans in Peru with education, clothing and food. In the first two years, Peruvian Hearts raised about $18,000 for the orphanage. The group also bought a chicken coop (鸡舍) so the girls can eat fresh eggs.

Today we talk about Louisa May Alcott — a famous American writer.
Alcott was born in 1832. The family was poor, so Alcott tried to help her parents teach and take care of children by herself. At the age of 16, she wrote her first book, Flower Fables. Her stories in the book were exciting, but unreal. She sold it to newspapers and magazines for money.
In 1868, an American publisher asked Louisa May Alcott to write a book for girls. In the book, she told about her experiences of her childhood in the northeast of the United States. The book was quite interesting. Little Women became one of the most popular children's books in America.Nowadays, you can read it in more than 50 languages. Little Women made Alcott famous and rich. Later, Alcott kept writing other popular books about love for children. But she was single all her life and helped her family during the last few years of her life.

My life in junior middle school
I have studied in my junior middle school for three years. My life in junior middle school was rich and I have learnt a lot. My school is very beautiful. I have made a lot of friends in my school. They often helped me when I was in trouble. Our teachers were friendly and patient, especially my English teacher. She often helped me with my English. So my favourite subject was English. I liked sports. In my free time, I often played basketball or football with friends. It is good for health and it is a good way to relax myself from the busy study.
In a word, my life in junior middle school was colourful and unforgettable.
