Qi Haoran， a Junior One student， was quite busy over the past winter vacation – and not just with homework．Qi， together with 10 other classmates made a volunteer group to call on people to join the Clean Your Plate Campaign （光盘行动）.
The 11 students went to many restaurants and told people the importance of saving food. “Excuse me， do you know that 950 million people around the world still haven’t got enough to eat? Could you please not waste food?” They would say this kind of thing hundreds of times every day.
The Clean Your Plate Campaign began on the Internet in January．It calls on people to reduce food waste.
China in these years had serious problems with wasted food．CCTV reported in January that the food Chinese people waste every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year．
Chinese people are well known for being hospitable （好客的） and generous．Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all their food.
Luckily the campaign has got the support of many．In a restaurant in Xinjiang， the owner gives the guests who have eaten up all that they ordered a sticker．People can enjoy a free meal when they have 10 stickers．More than 750 restaurants in Beijing have begun to offer smaller dishes and encourage their guests to take leftovers（吃剩的食物） home.

More and more people around the world are joining in dangerous sports. Some people climbed the highest mountains; some traveled into unknown parts of the world; some sailed small boats across the largest sea. Now some people begin to look for new excitement.
Bungee jumping (蹦极) and motorcycle racing (摩托车赛) are quite dangerous sports. Bungee jumping only lasts for a few minutes or even seconds. You jump from a high place, about 200 meters above the ground, and there is a rubber band (橡胶带子) tied to your legs. When you jump down, the rubber band pulls you up. About 2,000,000 people around the world have tried bungee jumping.
Why do people join in these dangerous sports? Some scientists say that it is because modern life has become safe and it is not interesting. In the past, people lived in danger. They had to go out and look for food, and life was like a fight but was interesting.
Many people think that there is little excitement in life. They live and work in safe places, buy food in shops, and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill.
