The earth is about 4,600 million years old. Modern man has lived on the earth for only 35,000 years, but during that time, we have changed our planet in many ways. Many of the things that we have done are good, but more are not good for the earth.
Water pollution
A lot of people, birds and fish die each day because of water pollution. Factories have polluted the land and the water. As a result, many rivers and lakes are now dead.
Air pollution
In big cities, factories, as well as cars, trucks and buses are the main cause of air pollution. Many people in cities now have serious health problems. For example, Mexico city used to be a beautiful sunny capital, but today it is always covered by thick brown clouds.

Do you live in a city? Do you know how cities began? Long long ago, the world had only a few thousand people. These people moved from one place to another. They moved over the land, hunting animals for food.
No one knows how or when these people learned about growing food. But when they did, their life changed. They did not have to look for food any longer. They could stay in one place and grow it.
People began to live near one another, so the first village was established (建立). Many people came to live in the villages, and these villages became even larger.
When machines appeared, life in the villages changed again. People built factories. More and more people lived near the factories. The cities began.
Today, it’s strange that some people are moving back to small villages. Can you tell me why?

Many students are under great pressure this term. There is some advice on studying and preparing for exams.
Sciences
Ask students what is the most difficult course, and most of them will give you the same answer: mathematics. This is also true for Dai Shuang, a 14-year-old student at No.1 Middle School. He says, “It’s so difficult that I get a headache whenever I think about the math exam.”
According to Dai, studying this course is not easy. He usually studies math by himself and spends most of his free time reading math books and doing exercises.
Solution
Qin Xia, a math teacher, offers some advice. “Most students fear mathematics because they think the class is too difficult or boring.” he says, “These students don’t listen carefully in classes or even sleep.” In Qin’s opinion, they can try to take notes. And they’d better ask teachers for help. It’s difficult for students to teach themselves math, which will waste a lot of time. Besides, doing a lot of exercises is also important.
Arts
Zhu Tianjiao, a 13-year-old student at Megan Middle School, is very nervous because she doesn’t know how to improve her English.

Xia Bingcong, a top student at Tsinghua University shares(分享) some of her learning experiences. According to Xia, memorizing, listening and reading are important in language learning. “Studying on a daily basis(基础) is the best choice.” Xia says.

Ann was my best friend. She had come to play half an hour ago, and I didn’t want her to go. “Your mother said you could stay an hour.” I said.
Ann pointed at the Teddy Bear on my desk. “I’ll stay if you give me your Teddy Bear.” she said.
I couldn’t imagine giving it to her. It was a special gift from Aunt Reba on my tenth birthday. My aunt was a beautiful and kind woman who was never too busy to spend time with me. The day she died, I cried for hours, unable to believe that I would never see her again. Now, when I saw the Teddy Bear, I was filled with memories(回忆) of Aunt Reba.
“Come on,” Ann shouted, “I’m your best friend.”
