1 . In most parts of the world, many students help their schools make less pollution. They join “Environment Clubs”. In an environment club, people work together to protect the environment.
No-rubbish lunches. How much do you throw after lunch? Environment clubs ask students to bring their lunches in bags that can be recycled. The students try their best to make less rubbish.
No-car day. No-car day was first started by 34 cities in France on September 22nd, 1995. It was started to protect the environment. By now, more than 1,000 cities around the world have had a no-car day. In China, more and more people are taking part in the activity. The slogan for no-car day is, “If we drive for one less day, we can have one more nice day.” On a no-car day, nobody comes to school in a car—not the students and not the teachers! Cars give pollution to our air, so remember: Walk, jump, bike or run! Use your legs! It’s lots of fun!
Turn off water! Do you know that some toilets could waste twenty to forty m3 of water an hour? In a year, that will fill a small river! In the environment club, the members mend those broken toilets.
We have only one earth. Let’s work hard together to make our world cleaner and more beautiful.

But the Science Museum is different, because it’s noisy! People talk about what they can see and do there, and some of the machines are noisy as well. Visiting the Science Museum is fun and it’s a great way to learn about science because you can work things out and try out ideas.
There are rooms on different themes there. You can go to the Launch Pad (发射台), the Human and Nature room. There are also rooms on transport, the environment and space technology, as well as maths, physics and chemistry.
You can do a lot of things in this museum, but you have to obey some rules as well. For example, you mustn’t take photos of the exhibits in the museum. But you can buy postcards of them in the museum shops.

Use high- quality (质量) toothbrushes. Good toothbrushes can help you protect your teeth. At the same time, you need to keep your toothbrush clean and dry. Change your toothbrush at least every three months.

6 . Students are constantly (不断地) learning how to make a difference to the world. Here are several ways that can help you protect the earth and make the world better.
Use Reusable Bags
When you are shopping for food, clothes or books, use a reusable bag. There are even some stores that offer discounts (折扣) for using reusable bags. These bags are not only useful for shopping, but can also be used when you move to a new house!
Recycle
Recycling is really a simple thing to do, but many people don’t do it. A good way to recycle is to find recycling bins. Instead of throwing recyclables (可回收利用物) into the rubbish bins, try to find recycling bins around your school.
Save Electricity
Use energy-efficient bulbs (节能灯泡) instead of common ones. The energy-efficient bulbs last longer, and will also help you save money. What’s more, you should turn the lights, TV and air conditioner when you don’t use them.
Save Water
Turn off the tap as you are brushing your teeth. Don’t turn your shower on until you are ready to take a shower or wash your hair. Changing bad habits will be good for both the environment and your wallet!
Avoid Driving Cars
Avoid driving cars if possible. Taking public transportation, walking and riding a bike to class are better choices that can help protect the environment. You can also get some exercise.
In a word, if everyone pays more attention to our environment, there will be less pollution and our life will be better. Let’s start from ourselves, and start from now on.

First, try not to touch things that many people touch, such as handholds of buses or subways, or the virus will jump into your hands.

8 . Make a goal to develop new classroom habits. The new habits you develop are helpful to the environment.
Recycling-Cut back on the waste paper you throw away. Get a large box. Place the box next to the garbage can. Throw the paper into the box instead of throwing it here and there. Take the box to a recycling center once the box is full of paper. Many schools can even make money for the waste paper they are able to collect and recycle. Help your school by recycling paper.
Reducing-Reduce the paper you use. Make it a habit to write on both sides of your notebook paper. Also try writing your words smaller so you can fit (放置) more on a piece of paper. The more words you can fit on both sides of your paper, the fewer pieces of paper you will need. But you shouldn’t write too small. Others need to be able to read your handwriting.
Saving-Turn off the lights when you are not in the classroom. Also, turn off computers when they are not being used. Closing the windows will also help save energy in winter.
Your new habits will soon become the old hat. This means that by doing them over and over again the habits will become part of what you do without even thinking about doing them. Our environment needs your effort (努力).

9 . April 22nd is World Earth Day—a day to remind (提醒) people to protect the earth. So on that day, our family held an activity “bottle of trash (垃圾) challenge (挑战)”. That means the trash needs to be put in a 600ml bottle. We decided to challenge ourselves and produce as little trash as possible.
My father worked online all day, so he didn’t produce any paper waste except paper napkins. He made the least trash in our family.
My mother cooked and produced plenty of kitchen waste, such as vegetable leaves, eggshells and food bags. It was not easy for Mom to deal with all the trash, but she found a way to put all into the bottle. How amazing!
My sister, a 16-year-old student, was busy preparing for her exams. She had to use paper to work out math or physics problems. She used only one side of the paper in the past. But that day, she tried to use both sides of the paper because she realized(意识到) we were challenging ourselves. She did a good job!
I was different from my sister. I love snacks and drinks. So my trash was almost from them. I was highly alert (警觉的) that I must produce less waste. I hardly ever had snacks or drinks. It was too difficult, but I did it!
I’ve learnt a lot from this activity. I realize that everyone can produce less trash. We should start with small actions to protect the earth!

You may think that drinking fruit juice is healthy. But that’s not quite true (真的). A study shows that drinking too much juice will cause many health problems. This is because these drinks have a lot of sugar. If a person takes in too much sugar every day, he or she is likely (可能) to have heart disease.
So some cities in the US make the price of sugary drinks much higher. They want to discourage people from buying them. Some scientists said that kids between 1 and 6 years old should not drink more than 170 ml of fruit juice each day. Kids over 6 years old should not drink more than 230 ml of fruit juice each day. It is important for us to control (控制) the sugar we take in every day.
Does this mean that eating fruit is also unhealthy? Don’t worry! Fruit is different from fruit juice. When you drink 100 ml of fruit juice, you’re eating more sugar than when you eat 100g of fruit. So, in order to keep healthy, you’d better eat fruit instead of drinking fruit juice.
1. The study shows drinking too much juice is bad for health.2. According to the passage, people may have a headache if they take in too much sugar.
3. A seven-year-old kid shouldn’t drink over 230 ml of fruit juice each day.
4. People should eat fruit instead of drinking fruit juice to keep healthy.
5. This passage mainly tells us that we shouldn’t eat too much fruit.
