2 . People read books less often in these days. With the invention of radio, television and most recently, the Internet and computer games, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity. However, I believe that books are an important part of our lives.
Books offer an outstanding wealth of learning and at a cheaper price than taking a course. Books can make people cleverer, because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people are.
Everything in today’s society requires reading. Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the directions on a medicine bottle without good reading skills. Someone can not understand them and become very sick or even die.
Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city can become very dangerous without enough reading. Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of them.
Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with our time. Even if we don’t read books, we still read every day, and reading books can strengthen (加强) our abilities. Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our spare time.
With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want. Reading is very important in our lives, no matter the age. So I think people should read books.

5 . You may have heard the saying “The Yangtze River is China’s mother river”. The main route of the Yangtze River is almost 6,400km long. As the world’s third-longest river, its valley（流域）covers one-fifth of China’s land area. The Yangtze River Economic Zone（长江经济带）covers 11 provinces and cities, making up about 40 percent of China’s total population and GDP.
On Dec, 26, 2020, China’s top legislature（立法机关）passed the Yangtze River Protection Law, which took effect on March 1, 2021. It is the first law to protect a waterway in China.
The “mother river” is in great need of protection because something is wrong with it. For example, because of overfishing and water pollution, the river’s Chinese paddlefish（白鲟）has died out after surviving for 150 million years. There’re also desertified（荒漠化的）land and soil pollution near the upstream part of the river in Qinghai Province.
The Yangtze River Protection Law includes bans（禁止）on activities that could damage（破坏）the river. It also includes heavier punishments for those who don’t follow the law. According to the law, fishing will be banned in all of the Yangtze River’s natural waterways, including its major tributaries（支流）and lakes. Those who are caught fishing will be fined（罚款）50,000 to 500,000 yuan. Sand mining（采沙）will be strictly limited in the river valley. Many companies are mining sand along the river, as sand is a rare resource（稀有资源）. However, this has led to lower water levels on the river, which has caused the river’s water quality to decline（下降）.
Companies operating along the river will turn to green development. Companies that produce dangerous chemicals will be relocated（搬迁）, the law says.

6 . It is human nature to love celebrations. Some festivals have been celebrated tor centuries or thousands of years. So, what are the reasons behind all these celebrations?
Some festivals are celebrated in memory of (纪念) an important person or an important event, such as the Dragon Boat Festival in China and the Independence Day in the U.S. Some festivals are celebrated to welcome new life, such as the Spring Festival in China and Easter in Western countries. All these festivals are of great importance and have become necessary parts of the country’s culture.
People also celebrate festivals for social and economic (经济) reasons. Festivals can bring freshness to life and make it more colorful. The celebrations of a national festival are also good chances to make people feel closer and become more united (团结的).

And these feelings can work as medicine and the patient may get well without any treatment. Sometimes a person gets well from a serious illness just by thinking he should remain alive so that be could celebrate festivals with his family members. So festivals can sometimes work as a reason for living.
When we celebrate festivals, we also remember the historical events related to them.

Do you like to study in the living room? This is not a good place because it is usually too noisy.

Before you begin to study, do not forget to clean your desk. A good desk light is important, too. You’ll feel tired easily if there is not enough light (光线). So you should have a clean and bright lamp. To tell you the truth, the most important is that you should put your heart into your study.
