However, fast food restaurants are still attractive. The most important reason is that their service is fast. Their staff (员工) are friendly and very smart-looking in their tidy and bright uniforms. Moreover, most fast food restaurants are near places that people often pass by. It is so easy to just grab a burger and eat on the way to work.

Fast food is often so conveniently packed that it will not cause a mess even if you stand and eat it. Fast food restaurants are also clean. A lot of clever ads have made them the coolest places, but none of them has ever told and will never tell you that too much fast food is not good for your health.

Such attractive places are selling junk food! Isn’t it a pity? Is there a way to change the fast-food restaurants into special places where you get the best possible, healthy and fresh food? As people realize the health problems that fast food causes, it is quite likely that fast food restaurants may go out of date sooner or later.

Therefore, instead of saying no to fast food restaurants, a better idea may be to persuade (说服) them to change their menu! Fast food restaurants can be places to go to when you want to eat something that will be good for your body. If they could join healthy food together with their speed of service and delicious tastes, that will be the next best thing on Earth for people!

【推荐1】When studying a map of China, have you ever noticed the Mu Us Desert (毛乌素沙地) in the northwest? If you haven’t, then you probably never will. That’s because the desert is disappearing.

You might wonder: Why is this happening? Who is the “killer”? Well, this is not a murder story. It is, the result of years of afforestation (无林地造林) efforts.

The Mu Us Desert used to be one of the largest deserts in China. Sandstorms were common in northern Shanxi. As a result, lots of people had to leave their homes.

The fight against desertification (沙漠化) began in the 1970s. The work was more than tiring. He Li led an afforestation team in Bulanghe, a town in Yulin, however, a strong wind blew away all the young trees. It was no use to cry. The next day, the team replanted all the trees.

In Yulin, there are many other sandstorm fighters. One of them is Guo Chengwang. In 1985, the government encouraged local people to plant trees. So he started to plant trees in his village. Guo is now over ninety years old. His children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren are still going on doing the job. The family has turned 30 km² of desert into woods.

These trees have make a difference. In Yulin, the number of sandy days has dropped from 100 in 2000 to 10 now. With the sandstorm fighters’ continuing efforts, the Mu Us Desert will be gone. Our country is becoming greener and lovelier.
