1 . We’ve heard about several “poor students” in the past year. Cui Qingtao, a student from Yunnan, working with his parents on a building site when he got an admission letter (录取通知书) from Peking University.     1     She is a student from Hebei. She was doing her part-time job in a different city when her family got her admission letter from Peking University.

    2     For example, they are all strong and optimistic (乐观的). Li hui said in an interview, " As long as we are alive, there are no problems that cannot be solved, and many people don’t have my experiences.     3     ”   Such an idea makes many adults feel embarrassed. He refused to accept donation money and decided to make money by himself. This is also the common thing that “ poor students “ have.

Whatever kind of values you hold, such personalities are necessary for growth.     4     Not everything goes well all the time. Only being strong and optimistic can one go through difficulties. In fact, living in poor families doesn’t promise such good personalities, and living in happiness doesn’t promise optimistic attitudes (态度). We like such “poor students ”because they are strong and optimistic.

For them, few can choose their lifestyles.     5     That’s why they are highly praised. Every one of us should learn from them.

A．Life is full of ups and downs.

B．A girl named Wang Xinyi is another example.

C．“Poor students” are usually hard-working and caring.

D．And these experiences make me grow and become better.

E．Born in poor families, these students have a lot in common.

F．However, all of them can choose their attitudes towards life .

G．We can learn a lot from these “poor students”.

2 . Now too much CO₂ makes the Earth warmer and warmer, and brings bad effect to people. To save our Earth, a new lifestyle called low-carbon life becomes popular. Low carbon means low energy and no waste. It is necessary for everybody to learn to live a low-carbon life.

To live a low-carbon life, we’d better save as much energy as we can. For example, turn off the lights and TV when you don’t use them, use cold water to wash clothes or dishes; take a short shower and try to take a cold one when the weather gets warm; don’t do the cooking with electricity.

To live a low-carbon life, we should eat less meat. Being a vegetarian can help reduce (减少) one and a half ton of carbon dioxide a year, but keeping animals for food produces even more carbon dioxide than all the cars do in the world.

To live a low-carbon life, we should plant more trees. Trees are very important for us. They can not only produce oxygen for us to breathe and keep the air clean, but also take in the harmful gases from the air. To protect trees we should stop people from cutting down trees and plant as many trees as we can.

If we can keep them a habit in our daily life, the earth will become a safer planet for us to live on.
