1 . When you go to a fast food restaurant, you may see many fat young people. Today, more and more young people are overweight. Many of them are too fat because of their bad eating habits. Most young people love food with a lot of oil, sugar and fat. We call this kind of food "junk food".
We also find many young people eat unhealthily. Some don’t have breakfast before they go to school. During the day, some don’t have a good meal for lunch.

2 . Zheng Lin is a Junior 3 student in Shijiazhuang, Hebei. Earlier this month, Zheng and his classmates stood on the street with a box asking people for donations（捐款）. Later they gave the money they got to the poor students in their school.
Many Chinese students raise money to help people in need. Most of the time, they hold a box and ask for donations on the street or in the park. Or they sell things like old books and CDs. Those students have done a great job so far. The money helps the students in poor areas like Yunnan and Gansu with new clothes, pens and pencils.
Teenagers in the US make donations, too. But they raise money in a different way—they raise money by doing something for others. For example, they sell homemade food or play musical concerts in their neighbourhood to raise money.
“Chinese students like to wait for people to donate, or sell things that they buy with their parents’ money,” says Ge Daoshun, an expert. "While US kids get donations and give people something useful in return.”
Ge says Chinese teenagers should learn to raise money in the US kids’ways. “That way, they can show their talents and practice communication. More importantly, they can learn every coin counts（有价值）. They have to work hard to get a donation.”

5 . Animals are part of the earth. But many of them are in danger. What should we do to help save them? In fact, it’s not as difficult as we think.
Be a vegan. Going vegan means that you don’t eat, wear or use anything that comes from an animal. Just by going vegan, you’ll save the lives of more than 100 animals every year. Is that great? So do it now!
Don’t watch animals for fun. Animals live for their own reasons (原因), not to bring us fun. Lots of animals are against their natural living places. And people will never allow them to play with their family or do anything they want to do in the wild. To stop these, never go to a zoo, movie or circus that uses animals.
Volunteer(志愿) at your local animal reserve(自然保护区). The animal reserve is always a great help to animals. Whether you walk dogs, clean their houses or put up notices of saving animals, you are helping them. Call your local reserve and ask if it needs any help. You can make a big difference in the life of some animals!
Tell your friend. Share with your friends why you want to help animals and ask them to join you. The more help with animals there is, the better they get!

7 . Imagine possessing something that you loved so much. Imagine what it would feel like if you lost it. While that item may be something as simple as a toy, you would still feel very upset, but you could replace it with a new one. Now imagine losing something that you depend on for survival and cannot be replaced. That is what it would be like if we lost the natural environment around us.
Firstly, I believe the environment should be protected because it supports human life. One of the largest examples is that we get all of our food and drinks from the environment. If the environment were to be destroyed beyond revival, then the human race would be over in months. Scientists have to find another planet with similar conditions to the Earth, and if it's found, we don’t have the technology to get to that planet in time.
Secondly, I believe that the environment serves as an amazing educational tool for students. When I was in second grade, I had an absolute interest in animals. When we had a field trip to the Daggerwing Nature Center, I was very excited. When we got there, I could hardly believe what I was seeing. There was a bridge to get to the main building, and under the bridge was a small swamp (沼泽) with turtles, fish, and my personal favorite, alligators. I was so surprised that I almost ran into the tour guide. We walked into the building and saw various animals in their habitats. I was so inspired by this visit. Six years later, I have taken an animal behavior class for three weeks. Meeting by chance with the environment can inspire people, and if preserved, it will continue to inspire people.
In conclusion, the environment is so valuable because it can't be replaced, keeps us alive, and serves as a great educational tool.

8 . Several years ago, Ed’s teacher asked him to take part in a volunteer activity. It brought normal children and disabled children together. Each week Ed spent an hour in the special school helping the disabled children with their schoolwork, games and eating. Ed’s mother was a teacher, so he often met a lot of children. At first, Ed thought it would be scary to be with children who were so different, but later he found there was something special with those children.
Every Wednesday, Tom, Susan and Anna couldn’t wait to see Ed. Tom had to sit on the wheelchair. He was only able to say some simple words like yes or no. Susan, a deaf girl, always welcomed Ed with a big smile. As for Anna she was born with an illness, and it made her really small for her age. In a normal classroom, it would be common to stop children playing with something, speaking loudly or making noises. However, in that school, the teachers didn’t mind noises. They were signs of the children’s feelings.
Working with those children made Ed learn to notice others’ needs. One of Ed’s teachers said, “We should be part of something bigger than ourselves.” Ed never understood that until he worked with those children.

9 . My grandfather is an eighty-year-old man. He changed, and he often says that life used to be better.
Families aren’t families the way they used to be. A lot of families have broke down. If husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now everyone’s working. No one has time to look after children at home.
And the cars! No one walks any more: everyone drives. We used to walk five miles to school every day, even in winter. But now they don’t. And in schoo1, the children don’t have to think any more. In math class, for example, we used to add, subtract, multiply and divide in our heads. Kids don’t use their heads any more；instead, they use calculators(计算器).
Most families have computers now. In the past we didn’t have computers.We didn’t even have lights. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now nobody eats home-cooked food any more.
And people don’t talk to each other any more. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too, busy to think……
Life used to be simple, but it isn’t any more.

10 . When traditional Chinese food baozi and the pizza meet together, what will probably happen?
These days a kind of new food called “Baozza” is getting popular online. In Beijing, many local people and a number of foreigners are the fans of the food. Why?
The new food has the features (特点) of Chinese baozi and western pizza. It has included the tastes of the two kinds of food. The restaurant, located in Beijing, serves all kinds of tastes of Baozza such as margherita and BBQ chicken.
The inventors of the food are a few American businessmen. They used to travel to southern China for business meetings. After they saw and ate baozi made of pork or vegetables many times, they came up with the great idea of creating Baozza.
Alex Cree, one of the inventors, said, “We were talking about the idea of making a kind of special baozi with more traditional western tastes like that of hamburgers and pizza. And then we called it ‘pizza baozi’.”
“There are a lot of people who only order one or two Baozza for the first time. They worry that the food doesn't taste so good,” Loren Heinold, another inventor, said. However, they will ask immediately for more when they turn around.”
