What better way to welcome spring than by helping to clean up the town we all live in! Here in Rockland we have a Spring Clean-up Day every year in April. The Clean-up Day 2014 will be April 20th.

You will also get free lunches and T-shirts when the clean-up ends at noon. We are going to have a friendly competition to see which team can pick up the most rubbish.
Bring your kids with you. It is a great chance to teach them to care for the environment around us. We have free drinks and chocolate candies for the children at the park.

This week, our topic is pollution. What are the answers to all of our pollution problems? We asked two experts to give their views.
◇Forest Smith is a member of Green First, an environmental group.
Our future on the Earth looks very bad. We are dumping waste on our land. We can’t breathe（呼吸） the fresh air. The sea is polluted too. I visited some relatives recently in a small village. They grow their own food and cycle everywhere. They are not wealthy, but they are happy and healthy.We must close the factories producing useless products. That will reduce rubbish and air pollution. We must recycle more, give up all cars, and improve public transport. A big problem is over population（人口） in big cities. We must give up big cities and factories, and go back to a simple way of life.
◇John Green is a scientist at a university.
Things are not as bad as Forest says. We’ll have a bright future. We don’t need to give up cars but we need to invent better, cleaner engines.This won’t stop the problem of traffic jams. So we need better public transport. We should also recycle more.But some things are getting better. My sister returned last month after living abroad for five years. She said, “Our old neighbourhood doesn’t look the same as before－it is cleaner and greener now.” In a word, science has brought many improvements to our life.
Forest Smith: A member of an 1 group Our future on the Earth looks bad. ◇We’re 2 waste on our land ◇The air can’t be 3 in. ◇People have polluted the sea. ◇The population is very big and we hope to 4_ to a simple way of life
What we can do ◇ 5 some factories will reduce rubbish and air pollution. ◇We must recycle more and 6 the public transport better.
Conclusion: We must go back to a simple way of life
John Green: A 7 at a university. We still have a 8 future. ◇Better and cleaner engines are 9 because we can’t give up cars. ◇We also need better transport and to recycle more.
Conclusion: Life has been 10 a lot because of science.

At the age of four, Allman fell off a train and his eyes were badly hurt. Since then, he couldn’t see anything. It would be wonderful to see again, but bad luck may not be always bad. In fact, although Allman became blind, he learnt to love his life more. But he had a hard time before he was successful.
The hardest lesson was to believe in himself and it had to start with the simplest thing.
One day a girl gave Allman a baseball. He thought she was laughing at him and he was hurt. “I can’t use this,” he said. “Take it with you and roll (滚动) it around,” the girl smiled and said. Her words got into his head. “Roll it around!” By rolling the ball Allman could hear where it went. This gave him an idea to do something he never thought of: playing baseball. Years after that, he invented a successful game of baseball for the blind. They called it ground ball.
From then on, Allman began to smile at life and achieved more dreams.
