Building Our Community
“Mom, I hope Steve can take me to the park next weekend,” I said.
“Sorry, Lucy,” Mom said, “your brother is volunteering next weekend to help 1 a house for a family.”
I remembered Steve’s eyes had lit up when he first told me about the community home-building project. He was good at building and fixing things, so he was 2 to do something. Now that he was seventeen, he was finally old enough to take part in it.
“It’s not 3 ,” I complained. “Steve can change a family’s life, but what can I do? I’m only ten.”
Mom put on her serious look. “Don’t think about it like that, Lucy,” she said, “people make a 4 by thinking about what they can do, rather than what they can’t do.”
Mom’s words echoed in my head later that day. Maybe she was right. I might not be able to physically build a house, but I could 5 money to help.
The next day before class, I talked to my teacher, Mr. Brown, about my idea.“Well, we can brainstorm about it,” he said, “I bet your classmates will have some good ideas. 6 will be the best way to make this happen.”
After I explained my idea in class, Brason raised his hand. “My uncle owns a T-shirt shop. Maybe he can print some T-shirts that we can 7 .”
“Great idea!” Mr. Brown said. Then, after a lively discussion, we decided on “Building Our Community” as our slogan(口号) to print. Marla, our class artist, agreed to draw the design.
By Friday, the T-shirts had been printed, and I had posted details about the sale on our class Web page. Our Saturday sale was a success. We earned$125. After the sale, we went to the community center. I 8 handed over the money.
Mom and Mr. Brown had both been right. Everyone can do something, and together we can achieve something great.

Many Different Kinds of Trash
Garbage sorting is a big issue worldwide. In recent years, some Chinese cities have been working hard on it.
Shanghai has worked with Alipay to create a “green account (账户)” service for its residents (居民). Account holders get points by correctly sorting their garbage. Through the Alipay app, they can exchange the points for milk, phone cards and other products. The city is asking all of its residents to sort their garbage into four groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry.
·Wet waste is also known as household waste. “They are things you don’t want but that pigs can eat,” Guangzhou Daily explained.
·Paper, metal, glass and other things that can be reused are recyclable waste.
·Harmful waste includes things like medicine, batteries and fluorescent bulbs(荧光灯泡).
·Any waste that’s not wet, recyclable or harmful will go in the “dry waste” dustbin.
China is improving its waste-sorting efforts. There is still a long way to go. But it’s never too late to learn how to sort your trash properly and protect the environment.
Also, different countries are using different methods to sort their trash.
·UK: smart bin
