In most parts of the world, many students help their schools make less pollution (污染). They join
"environment clubs (環(huán)境俱樂部)". In an environment club, people work together to make our
environment clean.
     Here are some things students often do.
     No-garbage (垃圾) lunches. How much do you throw away after lunch? Environment clubs ask
students to bring their lunches in bags that can be used again. Every week they will choose the classes
that make the least garbage and report them to the whole school!
     No-car 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 the water! Did you know that some toilets can waste(浪費) twenty to forty m3 of water an
hour? In a year, that would fill a small river! In environment clubs, students mend those broken toilets.
     We love our environment. Let's work together to make it clean.

     The weather is getting hotter. You are thirsty playing basketball or riding
home from school. A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful what
you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health. There are plenty of "energy(能量) drinks" on the market. Most of them have
beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great!
     But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine (咖啡因) in them. These drinks are especially(尤其) aimed at(針對) young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes
say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be
careful not to drink too much.
     Caffeine makes your heart beat(跳動) fast. Because of this, the
International Olympic Committee has limited( 限制) its use. Caffeine in
most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea.
Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one
box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can
even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be
discouraged from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.

     When people think of tigers, they think: strong and dangerous. But now, the big animal is calling for
our help.
     There were once eight kinds of tigers in the world, but three died out during last century. In the last 70
years, the number of Siberian tigers (東北虎) has gone from as many as 300 to somewhere between 18
and 22.
     The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) started a program recently. It is about to put an end to tiger
poaching (非法狩獵) and save wild tigers. China, together with 12 other countries, has joined in. The
aim is to double (使…加倍) the number of wild tigers in the next ten years.
     According to research by Chinese officers and the WWF, the Siberian tiger is already one of the
world's most endangered animals. "If the government doesn't take any action, it's quite possible that there will be no more Siberian tigers in China in 10 to 20 years," said Zhu Chunquan, director at the WWF's
Beijing office.
     Wild animals such as the red deer, sika deer (梅花鹿) and wild boar (野豬) are the tigers' main
food. The poaching of these animals is the greatest threat to tigers. Traps (陷阱) are also a threat. In
October, the people of Mishan, Heilongjiang found a dead Siberian tiger with a wire (金屬絲) around
its neck.
     "Volunteers from the WWF remove traps every year, but the fact is that we cannot clear all the traps
ourselves," Zhu said. The most important thing people can do is to save the animals which tigers eat. "To
protect the tigers, we need to call on more people to stop eating wild animals."

     There are many wetlands in China and some of them have become internationally important wetlands.
The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are one example. They are in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. They are
the ideal home for many different  kinds  of   birds  and   animals. The  world's largest  Milu Deer Nature
Reserve is there. More than 700 milu deer live freely there.   There are not many red-crowned cranes in
the world, but every winter you can see some in the Red-Crowned Cranes Nature Reserve in the
Yellow Sea Wetlands.
     The temperature in the wetlands is usually not too high or too low.  There is a lot of rain and sunshine,
too. They are really good places for wildlife. They offer food and home for some special kinds of animals
and birds. It is not the only reason why we need to   protect  wetlands.  Wetlands are important because
they also   prevent   floods. But   some people want to change the wetlands to make space for farms and
buildings. This means there will be less and less space for wildlife.
     Luckily, more and more people are beginning  to   realize  the  importance of wetlands  and  wildlife.
Every year on February 2nd, the World Wetlands  Day,  many  activities are  held  to  tell  people  more
about wetlands.
