One day, my sister Alice and I were walking in our hometown and saw hundred of rubbish on the ground. They made the town look such ugly that we decided to do something. At first, we draw pictures with words in parks, in beaches to let people know the damage to the environment. Late, we raised money to buy dustbins for our town. Many newspapers have been written about my sister and me over the past five years. As the result, we have won many prizes for that we have done. But we are not interesting in prizes. We just want make our hometown a better and cleaner place.

5 . My best friend travelled to stay with my family last weekend. When she arrived, she went straight to the kitchen and, without asking, ate some dried fruit. I knew she would do this. We’ve known each other for almost 20 years. She can eat anything she wants from my kitchen.

Our long weekend together was simple. I was recovering from surgery and couldn’t go to shopping malls. We passed the time running errands (差事), but there was never a quiet moment. We’ve lived in different cities for almost a decade. Reunions (相聚) need conversation.

Our personalities are matched and a shared history is extremely valuable. We were competitors at high school before bonding. Then we discovered the many interests that we had in common. Our friendship developed itself quickly. What I like most about our friendship is that we don’t have to “do”, but we simply have to “be”. We drop the act, the performance, the public version (版本) of ourselves.

There is something special about friends who know everything about you. They are rare. They have seen your bright lights of achievements and the depths of desperation. I’m lucky to have found this friend, and to see a future where her companionship remains. Being together is perfection.

6 . It’s Earth’s birthday! The Earth is about 4.5 billion years old! In honour of our planet, former U. S. Senator Gaylord Nelson decided we needed a special day to celebrate and learn how to care for our environment. He wrote letters to many schools about the day he planned because he knew kids like you would help.

On April 22, 1970, the first Earth Day was held. Many environmental laws were passed, and people all over the country made promises to protect the environment.

Since then, Earth Day has spread around the world and people are working together to create cleaner air and energy to take care of Mother Nature. Learn how you, your family and friends can start making a difference too!

Earth Day is now celebrated by millions of people in more than 180 countries. Here are some ways that you can help re-energize the Earth and celebrate too!

• Visit a nature conservancy (保护协会). Nature conservancies teach us how to preserve our natural history.

• Have an Earth Day block party! Invite neighbourhood kids to plant gardens or trees or pick up trash. Then celebrate your achievements with some Earth Day’ treats and nature music.

• Challenge your family to “go green”. Walk, bicycle, carpool or take the bus to reduce greenhouse gases and get outdoors!

• Wear green, a nature, or Earth Day T-shirt to help spread the word about caring for our environment.

• Make a “planet promise” to reduce your energy use and recycle.

We hope you’ll use some of these ideas during the week of April 22 to celebrate and give back to the Earth that gives so much to us.

9 . The third-generation hybrid rice which was developed by Yuan Longping, the “father of hybrid rice”, and his team went through its first public yield (产量) and achieved high output. The final yield of the tested variety, G3-1S/ P19, came to 1046.3 kg per mu (about 667 square meters), based on two lands in Qingzhu Village in central China’s Hunan Province.

“Some previous (先前的) high-yielding hybrid rice in China took 160 to even 180 days from sowing to harvesting, while the period was shortened to around 125 days for the new type. This is one of the most important characteristics (特征) of the third-generation hybrid rice that can reduce the use of pesticides and fertilizers, thus reducing cost and improving production efficiency (效率).’’ said Qian Qian, the deputy director of the China National Rice Research Institute.

Unlike the previous two generations that required a large amount of water and fertilizers as well as demanding growing conditions and technological support, the third-generation hybrid rice is easier to be cultivated (种植) by ordinary farmers. So the soil, altitude and climate of the test site were not “ideal conditions” carefully selected beforehand.

At present, Yuan’s team has nine third-generation hybrid rice under trial, which are expected to achieve commercial (商业性的) seed production in the following three to four years and hope to apply the technology into the research of sea rice.
