Water Pollution
A lot of people, birds and fish die each day because of water pollution. Factories have polluted the land and the water. As a result, many rivers and lakes are now dead.

Red Nose Day is an event to raise money in the UK. People celebrate Red Nose Day in spring every two years. It is called Red Nose Day because on this day many people buy a plastic（塑料的）red nose to wear! And the money from selling red noses goes to the charity（慈善）.
On this day, thousands of people put on red noses and colorful clothes at home, at work, in schools and almost everywhere. It calls for people in the UK to try to help poor people across the UK and Africa（非洲）. Students don’t need to wear uniforms（制服）. They wear all kinds of clothes and red noses at school. They have many ways to raise money, such as making and selling red noses at school, putting on a show and so on. Everyone raises money and donates（捐赠） it to the poor. They learn how to do their best to help others on this day.

5 . Recently, the term “carbon neutral(碳中和)” has been used frequently at some important meetings in many countries. Many countries have put forward the goal of striving( 奋斗目标 )to be carbon neutral. China is expected to be carbon neutral by 2060. So, as middle school students, what can we do to protect the environment and live a low carbon life? Here are some suggestions for you.
Travel in a green way. Now more Chinese people have cars of their own. It has brought us a lot of benefits but has created some serious problems as well. So we had better do more walking, cycling, taking a bus and less driving. By doing so, we can save energy and reduce pollution.
Cut down white pollution. We should reduce the pollution of plastic bags. When you go to the supermarket, bring your own shopping bags.
Save water. Lack(缺乏)of water resources will affect the ecological environment(生态环境). So please turn off the tap after using it.
Sort(分类)the rubbish. Doing garbage classification(垃圾分类)in a right way can turn waste into wealth.
Plant more trees. Planting more trees means cutting down and reducing the carbon footprint(足迹)and spreading of greenhouse gases.
Use both sides of the paper. The paper production process uses a lot of trees.
Now is the time that we should take up our responsibility to protect our environment from being polluted. Let’s join our hands and take actions immediately.

10 . Chinese scientist Yuan Longping, known as “Father of Hybrid Rice”(杂交水稻之父), passed away in Changsha on May 22, 2021. Chinese people expressed their sadness at the death of the great man.
Although he was one of China’s most famous scientists, Yuan Longping considered himself as a farmer. Yuan’s lifelong dedication(贡献) to solving the problem of hunger made him a national hero in China. Born in Beijing in 1930, Yuan graduated(毕业) from Southwest Agricultural College in 1953. Since then, finding ways to grow more rice had been his life goals. As a young man, he saw the great need for increasing the rice output(产量). At that time, hunger was a big problem in many parts of the country. Yuan searched for a way to increase rice output without expanding(扩大) the area of the fields.
Having spent over fifty years on hybrid rice research, Yuan had helped China work a great wonder—feeding nearly one fifth of the world’s population with less than nine percent of the world’s total land. More than 820 million people were hungry in 2018, according to a UN report. Since the 1980s, Yuan’s team has offered training courses to many countries in Africa.
Yuan said he had two dreams—to “enjoy the cool under the rice crops taller than men” and that hybrid rice could be grown all over the world to help solve the global food scarcity(全球粮食短缺). Thanks to Yuan Longping, China was able to stop hunger. We can't imagine what our life would be like without his efforts.
