1 . Garbage sorting (分类) has become a hot topic around China, especially after Shanghai began carrying out a regulation (规章) on July 1.
Beijing has been expected to do the same. At present the regulation gives garbage sorting responsibilities to government departments, property management groups and other organizations. It also gives rules for companies, explaining how they’re responsible for waste collection, transportation and treatment. Citizens are free of responsibilities for the moment.
The long-awaited revision will soon change the situation. “Taking out the trash without sorting it properly will be illegal,” said Sun Xinjun, director of the Beijing Commission of Urban Management. In Shanghai, violators (违背者) are now fined up to 200 yuan for trash-sorting violations. “The maximum fine in Beijing will not be less than that,” he said.
The Beijing city government first promoted garbage sorting in 2009. Authorities have since called on citizens to sort their household waste into four types—recyclable waste, kitchen trash, dangerous waste and others , and leave it in a colored dustbin or trash can. Blue-colored dustbins are for recyclable items, green for kitchen trash, red for dangerous materials and grey for other waste.
To promote the awareness of garbage sorting and expand the base of participants, authorities have employed workers to help citizens. With intelligent devices, those who throw in recyclable waste at given places will be rewarded with bonus points, which can be used to buy daily goods. At some communities, there are no color-coded dustbins. Instead, a scheduled garbage collection service is offered to help improve the environment. In other communities, workers offer a door-to-door service to collect recyclable or kitchen waste.
Beijing Environmental Sanitation Engineering Group has been promoting new garbage sorting facilities such as recycling cabinets and smart kitchen waste trash cans since 2016, Xinhua News Agency reported.

My neighbor is a generously lady in her early sixty. After she retired as English teacher, and she has been delivering meals to senior citizens in town. During the COVID-19 outbreak, she isn't able to actually go into their homes. She began to attach lovely cards in warm messages to those meals. It really brightened up the lives of not only those I delivered the meals to, but also those notice the meals. Inspire by her, people in my neighborhood are willing to helping each other and more and more people, including me, have started to do voluntary work.

9 . Hang a Gallery Wall
Creating a gallery wall is a simple way to bring style and personality to any room — no painting or wallpapering required. Group together your favourite print, paintings and photographs to create a stylish look for any room. Here’s how.
Begin by choosing the artwork and frames (框) to use on your gallery wall. You may prefer matching styles for a contemporary look, or mix and match for a more comprehensive finish.
Secondly, use regular paper, newspaper or plain wrapping paper to create templates (模板) for each of your frames. Simply draw around the frame onto the paper and mark with an X exactly where the nail will need to be positioned.
Then carefully cut out the templates and position them on the wall by using a small piece of masking tape at the top and bottom.
A.Play around with different layouts |
B.You’re now ready to hang your frames |
C.If your gallery wall will hang above a piece of furniture |
D.Wait until you’ve hung all the frames in your arrangement |
E.Double check the templates and nail markings are accurate |
F.Once you’ve decided on the final layout for your gallery wall |
G.Remember that gallery walls don’t have to be limited to framed prints |
10 . "Liking" healthy foods on social media platforms like Facebook may encourage others to eat a balanced diet, new research has found.
For the study, the research team asked 369 university students to estimate the amount of fruit, vegetables, and sugary drinks their Facebook friends consumed on daily basis. They then cross-referenced this information with the participants’ own actual eating habits and showed that those who felt their online social circles"approved" of eating junk food (垃圾食品) consumed significantly more themselves,in fact, an extra portion (一份) of unhealthy snack foods and sugary drinks for every three portions they believed their online social circles did.
Conversely, those who thought their friends ate a healthy diet had more portions of fruit and vegetables. These habits could have developed from seeing friends' posts about the food and drinks they consumed, or simply a general impression of their overall health.
There was no significant link between the participants’ eating habits and their body mass index (体重指数), an indicator of weight. The researchers said the next stage of their work would track a participant group over time to see whether the influence of social media on eating habits had a longer-term impact on weight and overall health.
The researchers said the findings to date provide the first evidence to suggest our online social circles could be silently influencing our eating habits, with important implications for using social media to encourage healthy eating.
"With children and young people spending a huge amount of time interacting with influencers via social media, the important new findings from this study could help shape how we deliver interventions that help them adopt healthy eating habits from a young age, and stick with them for life," added Claire Farrow, director of Aston University' s Applied Health Research Group
