【推荐1】Want to make a difference in your community? Becoming a zero waste volunteer is the way to go!

Join a community garden

So many people don't know where their food comes from. Growing food by yourselves teaches you the true value of food. What's more, there is no need to pack the food you grow in the garden. Offer your time to help support a garden in your neighborhood. You'll get to meet all kinds of people there, and possibly begin a conversation about zero waste lifestyle.

Lead or join a neighborhood clean-up

Usually, litter left unattended (无人看管的) will pollute our water systems. Even worse, any litter (in the ocean or on the ground) can be eaten by animals. This causes them to die of hunger slowly and painfully. Getting a group together to pick up trash (垃圾) around the neighborhood is a great way to combat this problem.

___________________

Going to a town hall meeting is a great idea. Because you can see and hear the problems in your community. Besides, you may even be able to speak at a town hall meeting as a guest speaker telling other people about zero waste lifestyle.

Organize a zero waste meeting

It's so important to have a support group filled with people who also love zero waste lifestyle. Although online community is great, it cannot compare to real life support groups. If you want to gather people in your neighborhood to talk all things about zero waste, consider organizing a meeting. Just choose a place to meet (a local cafe works well), choose a date and time, and put up a notice on the Internet. You'll get surprises!

1. If a person joins a community garden, he or she can_____________.
①teach himself or herself the true value of food by growing food

【推荐3】Everyone, likes to feel that he or she is special. Unfortunately, many of us grow up believing that we’re not special at all. We wish that we could be better at sports or more attractive. We wish we had nicer clothes or more money. Like the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, or the Cowardly Lion from The Wizard of Oz (《绿野仙踪》), we believe we’re not good enough just as we are. In the movie, the Scarecrow wishes that he had a brain. The Tin Man wishes he had a heart, and the Lion wants courage. In the end, each of them realizes that he already has what he needs.

       Most parents want us to be the best we can be. They sometimes try to encourage us to do better by comparing us to others. They mean well, but the message we often get is that we’re not good enough. We begin to believe that the only way we can be special is by being better than someone else, but we are often disappointed. There will always be someone out there who is better than we are at something. There are plenty of people around who may not be as smart as we are but who are better at sports. Or they may not be as good-looking, but they have more money. It is impossible for us to be better than everyone else all the time.
       Like the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion, we all want what we believe will make us better people. What we don’t realize is that often we already have inside us the very things that we seek. Parents sometimes forget to tell us that we are special, that we are good enough just as we are. Maybe no one told them that when they were growing up, or maybe they just forgot. Either way, it’s up to us to remind them from time to time that each of us, in our own way, is special. What we are ... is enough.
1. Parents often ____________ to encourage us to do better .

A．read us The Wizard of Oz	B．compare us to others
C．buy us plenty of things	D．tell us we are common

2. The writer of this article wants to tell us that _____________.

A．the Cowardly Lion doesn’t have courage

B．smart people are more special than others

C．it is important to be better than everyone else

D．we are all good enough just the way we are

A．patent
