Energy is everywhere in the world．We use energy every day．There are all kinds of energies in the world，such as hydropower resources，sun's energy，wind power．
Liangshan is called"kingdom of hydropower resources"．Jinsha River，Yalong River and Dadu River are just like three great dragons carrying hydropower resources to Liangshan from the
Qinghai﹣Tibet Plateau．The government has planned to build 11large and super hydropower stations on Jinsha River，Yalong River and Dadu River within Liangshan．On the other hand，there is rich wind power in Liangshan．The government is building a large wind power station between Huili and Ningnan．
Electricity is a form of energy，and this is what powers the TV，mobile phone，fridge and more．Our growing need for energy is one of the problems in the world today，because producing electricity also produces pollution．Although energy in Liangshan is very rich，we must do something to protect the environment and save lots of energy．

On or off？Leaving TV and computers on with the little red light showing still uses electricity，even though they might look like they're turned of．To stop this，you can turn them off．
Light out!Turning light off when you're not in the room can save a lot of energy．
Fridge door closed．Try not to leave the fridge door open or put hot things inside when you used the fridge．Because it takes a lot of energy to keep cool．
Use the sun's energy．An increasing number of people are fitting solar panel to their houses．They create electricity from sunlight．which can then be used to make hot water or do the cooking and so on．

Perhaps many people don't think it's easy to find a hero in our common life．In my mind，hero is a person who is admired by many people for doing something brave．A hero had never appeared before I met Joanna，﹣I didn't really understand the meaning of the word"hero"until my third year in the college．
If you saw her，you wouldn't think she really looks like a hero，but she is stronger than superman could ever be．Her name is Joanna Edward．I first met her at volleyball tryouts，which was trying to choose someone better at volleyball to join the team．I didn't notice anything special at first．She was neither the tallest nor the fastest．A few weeks later，however，she showed she had more strength than anyone．She stood out because she never gave up，no matter what．
In fact，this was her first time playing volleyball．She was always the first to arrive and the last to leave．By the end of the volleyball tryouts，she had been remembered by many people．In everyone's heart，she was a hero．When the name list for new members was put up，we all waited nervously as she checked．When she stood at the door and smiled happily，all we could do was cheer．We were very glad to know Joanna made the volleyball team．
After that she worked even harder to improve her game．When she asked for help，we taught he﹣happily．She also became our fan，attending almost every school game and even joining us in the city games．We all like her，because she never thinks about doing things in an easy way or loses her smile．Because of her great efforts，she makes herself a true hero﹣and my hero，too．

When you were in the village，the air in the country was clean and you watched the beautiful stars at night．However，it has been raining since you left the village．"You are a lucky dog!"If you heard of that，don't be angry．It doesn't mean"You are a dog．"Your friend just wants to tell you，"You are so lucky!"
Americans use many expressions with the word"dog"．People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well．They take their dogs for walks，let their dogs play outside with them and give their dogs good food and medical care．However，dogs without owners'care lead a different kind of life．The expression，to lead a dog's life，describes a person who has an unhappy life．
Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather．The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year．A rainstorm may cool the weather．But they do not want it to rain too hard．They want it to rain cats and dogs．
If many people are competing for the same things，like good jobs．They will say，"We live in a dog﹣eat﹣dog world，"If they say a person has to work like a dog，it means he has to work very，very hard．Such hard work can make people dog tired．And，the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog．
However，not all dogs are compared to people in good ways．Some people are compared to dogs in bad ways．People who are not kind can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog．Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want．Mean dogs are often used to guard this property．They bark or attack people who try to enter the property．However，sometimes a person who appears to be meanand frightening is really not so bad．We say his bark is worse than his bite．
We live in a dog﹣eat﹣dog world，so we have to work like a dog．But never be mean dogs．When you fail，don't give up．I believe every dog has its day．
