When I was small, my mom used to give the family a funny special treat from time to time- she would make breakfast food for dinner.

I remember she did so one night. She had been at work all day but wanted to do something special for us all. On that evening, my mom put a plate of eggs and very burnt toast （面包）in front of my dad. I waited to see if anyone notice. But my dad just took his toast, smiled at my mom and asked me how my day at school had been. I don`t remember what I told him that night. But I remember watching him put butter on that toast. He ate it up as usual.

After dinner, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for burning the toast. I will never forget what he said, “Honey, I love burnt toast.” Later that night, I went to kiss daddy good night. I asked him if he really like his toast burnt. He wrapped （抱緊）me in his arms and said: “Your mommy worked very hard today. She is really tired. And a bit of burnt toast never hurt anyone!”

Life is full of imperfect things. Nobody is perfect, either. I am not the best at anything. I forget birthdays and other important events just like everyone else does.

Work is helpful to health. Scientists find that the hard-working people live longer than those who have no jobs. Studies show that the jobless are in poorer health than job-holders. Career（ 職業(yè)的） women are healthier than housewives.

Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy, away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest people are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel them happiest when they are working hard. They work as a bridge between dream and reality, so they have energy every day. By work, people get to know each other. By taking part in all kinds of activities, they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss（喪失）of work means the loss of everything. It affects man's spirit and it will cause more illnesses.

Besides, work gives one a sense of hope and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status（形象） in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond（ 超越） words.

How do you deal with plastic bags from the supermarket? Throw them away or recycle them? How about eating them?

The bags are no harmful to the environment. Humans and animals can safely eat them. Indian company EnviGreen has made a bag with natural material. It looks and feels just like plastic, but can break down （分解）easily.

Ashwath Hedge who set up the EnviGreen company spent four years doing experiments with 12 natural material. They include potato, corn, vegetable oil and banana. He made the material into liquid and used the liquid to make the bag.

Although the EnviGreen bag is more expensive than a common plastic bag, but it has many advantages. According to the Wall Street Journal, it takes 1, 000 years for common plastic bags to break down. But an EnviGreen bag can naturally break down in less than 180 days. It also breaks down in less than a day in water, and in less than a minute in boiling water. Hedge was happy to show it in his interview with The Better India. In the interview, he put an EnviGreen bag in water and ate it with a smile.

There are more than 15, 000 tons of plastic waste every day. But only 9, 000 tons are processed. In China, 3 billion plastic bags are used every day. Maybe the EnviGreen hag could be a solution to the world problem of plastic pollution.
