Sometimes people call ours a "throw-away society". That means that we're always throwing away old things and buying new ones. Many times, you no longer need something, but someone else may just need to buy one. For example, if your baby doesn't like his toy car any longer, why not give it to a family who has a little kid
Here are some other ways to help the society save resources (资源):
★ Use the other side of the paper so that fewer trees will be cut down.
★ Use rechargeable (可再充电的) batteries for your electric toys, MP3 players, cellphones, and cameras.
★ Choose reusable travel cups instead of disposable (一次性的) paper or plastic cups.
★ Take your own cloth shopping bags instead of using the plastic bags that are offered when you go shopping.
★ Drink tap water instead of buying bottled water.
And there are some things you can exchange with your friends, for example, books, toys, even clothes. It's a way for everyone to get something new without spending any money and without throwing many things away.

What is happiness What makes you happy That can mean different things to different people.
You might think that happy people have lots of money, great power (权力), great jobs, luxurious (豪华) houses and cars. But as a matter of fact, when you are poor, you can also feel happy because you have something else that can't be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy because you have more chances to challenge yourself. That's to say, attitude is everything — you may have a different way of thinking about things and treating things. And you can go about your lives in a different way.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you feel it with your heart. When you are in trouble, your parents will help you; when you succeed, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong; people around you will help you to correct it. All these are your happiness. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy person.

Hundreds of years ago, a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland. The Scots, a brave people, loved their country very much. They fought it hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland, but there were too many of the Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.

I remember... Sometimes when walking or driving behind an older person, I've gotten impatient and upset.
"I'm sorry. Please forgive me!" said the old man, "I don't mean to hold you up." He then tried his best to get off the escalator.
I suddenly saw this in a whole new light. I felt sick to my stomach. The old man was apologizing to everyone, when we should have helped him to calm his fears.
One by one, people went around him quickly. By the time I got to him, I asked, "Sir, can I help you "
The man thought for a while, then said, "Well, yes, thank you!"
I placed my hand under his left arm and walked away from the rush of people quickly.
"So what are you shopping for, sir "
"Oh, today is Mother's Day. I want to buy something for my neighbor. She's a single mother and she is always so nice to me." he said, stopping suddenly as he searched his pocket.

"John Smith.

A "Gap Year" is a period of time when a student takes a break before going to university. It is often spent in travelling or working. It can give young people useful learning experiences and new skills.
Gap years are popular with European and Australian students, but less popular in America. However, in recent years, more and more American students are preparing for college by taking a gap year. The advantages of taking a gap year are as follows:
Learn about the World and Yourself
Although you don't have to go abroad to experience a gap year, most gap year students take the chance to travel abroad. You are able to work out who you are and what you are for. Experiencing different cultures offers you interesting lessons. You can learn more about the world and get to know yourself better.
Face Challenges and Have Fun
A gap year is not only a time to take a vacation, but also a time to face challenges. Gap year students usually work, volunteer or take service projects. You have to learn how to get along in the real world. This process isn't always easy, but it is an important part of growing up. Only in this way can you enjoy life and have fun.
Save Money and Improve Your College Admission Chances
There's a common thought that gap years are only for rich students, but it's not true. Actually, taking a gap year can save your money. Gap year students often take a part-time job. Besides, at the end of a gap year, students are much more likely to know what to study in college. Clear learning goals can keep the students working hard instead of wasting time and money playing.
