As a young child, I was quiet and shy. I was also sick for a long time. My parents worked, and I spent a lot of time at my grandparent’s home. While my grandmother cleaned the house and cooked, my grandfather played with me.

    I was six when my grandfather died. A few months before he died, he gave me a beautiful blue and white blanket (毯子). I loved the blanket very much because it made me think of my grandfather. But after a few years, the blanket didn’t look very good. It had holes and was dirty. I didn’t want to throw the blanket away, so my mother made the blanket into a book bag. I was proud of the book bag, and I used it to carry my books to school every day for a few years. Then the book bag was broken. I begged my mother to make something out of it. She made it into a pencil-box. After a few months, the pencil-box was broken, too. By then I could sew (縫), and I made the pencil-box into a small wallet.

    I used it for three years, but one day I lost it. I felt sad. My friends and family said, “Forget about it, Paul. You can’t make something out of nothing.”

    I thought about it for a while. I decided my friends and family were wrong. There was a way to make something out of nothing. I wrote down the story of my grandfather’s blanket.

We know good manners are important. Today I am going to tell you something about manners in different countries. I think you already know that people in different countries usually have different ways of doing things. Something that is rude in one country may be quite polite in another. For example, in Britain you mustn’t lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having liquid food. That is considered bad manners in Britain. But in Japan you needn’t worry about making a noise when you drink something. It shows that you are enjoying it. In Britain we try not to put our hands on the table at all during a meal. In Mexico, however, guests are expected to keep their hands on the table throughout a meal. In Arabic countries we must be careful with our hands. You see, in Arabic countries you mustn’t eat with your left hand. This is considered to be very impolite. So, what should you do if you visit a foreign country? Well, you needn’t worry. You can ask the native people there to help you and you can just watch carefully and try to do what they do.

As we all know, the environment around us is getting worse and worse. In some places we can’t see fish 　 46 in the river or trees on the hills. Some people even have no clean waster to drink.

　　 Recently, a new lifestyle called low-carbon life(低碳生活) is 　 47　 every corner of our country. The meanings of low-carbon are 　 48　 energy and no waste. It is such an important project that I can’t wait 　 49　 my ideas on how to promote( 促進(jìn)、發(fā)揚(yáng)) it.

　　 First, we should 　 50　 a no-car day every week in our school. Because cars not only cause serious air pollution but also waste energy. 　 51　 the no-car day, neither students 　 52　 teachers are allowed to drive to school. At the same time, just walk or run. Use our 　 53　 and enjoy the fun.

　　 Second, we had better not use plastic bags 　 54　 . No one can stand the “white pollution”, 　 55　 it is wise to use cloth bags which can 　 56　 again and again.

　 　 57　 , one thing 　 58　 we should keep in mind is that every big thing comes from the small details(細(xì)目、細(xì)節(jié)). So, as students, we ought to turn 　 59　 the lights the moment we leave, use 　 60　 sides of the paper, and reuse our textbooks and so on.

　　 All in all, it weights greatly for all of us to put the low-carbon lifestyle into practice. Just set our mind to these: no-car days, no plastic bags, and no waste. Let’s do it now.
