It was a lovely Spring morning here in the mountains of my home. The sky was blue, the sun was out, and the air was warm. As I drove along the roads I could see thousands of wild flowers in bloom. When I rounded curve (转弯) I slowed. I saw some volunteers picking up rubbish along the side of the road. I smiled as I saw them doing some “Spring Cleaning” for Mother Earth. And my mind floated (飘荡) back in time to another Spring day long ago.

When my children were younger, we used to walk around the lake near our home. One Spring day my daughter and I noticed just how much rubbish was lying along the path. The next day then we brought a big rubbish bag with us and started to slowly, step by step, pick up the rubbish along our way. There were plastic water bottles, wrappers (包装袋) for candy bars, empty chip bags, pieces of broken fishing line, and even an old thrown-away shoe. We stopped and picked up each one and even fished a few pieces of garbage out of the edge of the water. By the time we had circled the lake the bag was nearly full.

After the whole day’s work, we feel tired but happy, we put the bag in an empty dustbin. We stopped before we headed home and took one last look at the lake as the sun set. It looked more beautiful than ever and I felt like the angels were looking down upon it with us and sharing our smiles.

I know that at times you wonder what you can do to make a difference. But the truth is EVERYTHING you do makes a difference! Every time you pick up a single piece of rubbish you make a difference. Every kind word you say makes a difference. Every loving thought you think, every flower you plant, every animal you save, everything you do, no matter how small, makes a difference in this world. Make your difference today! Share your love. Shine your light.

【推荐3】Let’s Plog!

We all know that running is good for our health. Have you ever thought that running is also good for the planet? Sometimes a creative mind can bring us a win-win situation.

Plogging is becoming increasingly popular after it started as an organizational（组织的）activity in Sweden（瑞典）. What is plogging? It is a term（词语）referring to the act of picking up litter while jogging. The term “plogging” is created by combining（合并）the English words “jogging” and “plocka upp”, a Swedish term that means “picking up”.

A Swedish man called Eric Ahlstrom started the movement. Eric noticed a lot of litter when he rode to work each day. So, he decided to do something about it. In 2016, Eric began organizing groups to pick up rubbish while jogging, and thus “plogging” was born. It spread to other countries in 2018, following increased concern about plastic pollution. Plogging is considered a perfect activity, as it is good both for the body, and for the environment.

Plogging is a movement that anyone can join. To get started, choose plogging route that you know is heavily littered but still considered safe. Do not forget to bring your recyclable rubbish bags and gloves, as well as some hand sanitizer（消毒纸巾）if necessary. You can jog alone or in groups. You can do it early in the morning, or a bit before going to work, or even in the late afternoon. If you’re not much of a jogger, that’s okay! You can take a walk. Anything that suits you! It really does not matter whether you take a 2-mile jog or a 5-mile marathon, or just a 15-minute morning walk. The idea with plogging is that you do some physical exercise while helping to pick up litter!

Every day, about 2 million people plog in over 100 countries. If you have a pair of gloves, a rubbish bag, and enjoy being outside, plogging may be right for you!

【推荐2】Have you ever counted the number of digits（数字） in your mobile phone number? Your number has 11 digits. You may sometimes find it hard to remember your number. That’s because China has the longest mobile phone numbers in the world. Why is that?

The 11 digits can be divided into three parts. Each part has a different meaning. The first three numbers tell you which mobile phone service provider（提供者） you are using. For example, 135 is for China Mobile Communications Corporation and 130 is for China Unicom. The fourth to the seventh digits tell you where the number is registered （注册）. And the last four digits are random（随机的）.

The main reason for using 11 digits is that we have the largest population in the world. We once had 10 numbers. But as our population grew, there were not enough numbers for us to use. So we began to use 11 digits starting from 1999. Eleven digits can be used to make tens of billions of mobile phone numbers. That’s enough for each person to have seven or eight phone numbers to use in China.

And mobile phone numbers can be recycled. Usually, the service provider will reuse a canceled number after three to six months. If you call a number that you haven’t contacted （联系） for a long time, you may find that its owner has changed.

Besides China, Britain and Japan also use 11-digit mobile phone numbers. But their numbers always start with 0. So they cannot create as many numbers as we can. Countries like the United States, Australia and India use phone numbers with 10 digits. Canada’s mobile phone numbers are perhaps the shortest in the world: they use seven digits.

In English classes, we spend a large amount of time studying grammar and learning new words. We work hard to improve our reading and listening skills. Few of us, however, pay enough attention to body language. So body language is not important, is it?

The answer is “Yes!” As the old saying goes, “________” Sometimes, we can communicate things even without a single word. For example, shrug our shoulders, and, without a word, we’ve just said, “don’t know.”

Body language can help us stress what we are saying. It can help us express our true feelings. What’s more, body language can help us find out if someone is lying. Often, people who are lying do not make eye contact. They may turn away or raise their shoulders because they are uncomfortable with the conversation.

In job interviews, the interviewers can sometimes judge the interviewee before he or she speaks. ________ It can show if you really care about your friends. Leaning forward into the conversation, for example, means you are interested in what is being said. Listening without making eye contact means you are not paying attention but are waiting for your turn to speak.

________ They say more than 70% of our messages are delivered through body language. Sometimes, body language is more accurate than the words we use.

So it is very important for us to learn body language. By understanding body language, we are more likely to be understood. We will find it easier to get a job. We will also have lasting friendships.

A. Let’s improve our body language.
B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. Body language is important in our personal lives, too.
D. Scientists have been studying body language for long time.
