We all need a healthy environment. , we produce waste every day and it harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real to the environment. Here are some ideas for you to live a life.
Remember these three : reduce, reuse and recycle.
Reduce means “use less”. Don't things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think if it is really or maybe the one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from a country.
Reuse means “use again”. Use things for possible. When we buy things, make sure that they a long time. We should take care of them they will last, and we should them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them .
Recycle means “change things into something else”. Although it energy to change something into something else, it’s better than things or burning them. Find out can be recycled in your neighborhood and take part in recycling programs. We should also buy made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save .

Thomas Edison tried two thousand different materials to make the light bulb. When none worked successfully, his assistant __16_, “All our work is in vain. We have learned nothing.”
Thomas Edison replied very __17_, “Oh, we have come a long way and we have _18__ a lot. We now know that there are two thousand materials which we cannot _19__ to make a good light bulb.”
If you learn from your mistakes, then you are _20__. If you learn from someone else’s mistakes, then you are a genius. Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines __21__ daily and failure is nothing more than a few small __22_ repeated daily.
How __23_ the above lines are! Success takes __24_. We’ll make mistakes _25__ we do things in too much of a hurry. When we do not practice disciplines in life, we don’t build enough confidence to __26__ new and challenging tasks which are important and matter in life. Our confidence __27__ what we think of ourselves and whether we believe in ourselves. We are all born with exceptional _28__, but only a few really _29___ their true potentials and make efforts in life and the others just lead a(n) _30__ life. Do you want to be exceptional?
Success is a fruit which everyone wants to _31__, but it is not found everywhere and no one can __32_ it without serious efforts.
Those who want to succeed will find a way; those who don’t will find a(n) _33__!
Success depends on previous __34__, and without it we will end in failure.
When you are __35__, please enjoy it and give your hand to others who want to accomplish something.

Until 1954 it was thought that no man could run one mile in less than four minutes. As years 31 , the record came closer and closer to four minutes and Roger Bannister, a young English 32 , began to believe he might33 this almost magic barrier.
It was a cold afternoon on May 6th, 1954, when Bannister knew he had a 34 chance. Bannister had been35 hard and was very fit, but the weather conditions were a real 36 to him. Describing the 37 later, Bannister said,” On the way to the track the wind blew strongly. As I 38 for the start I glanced at the flag. It moved 39 now. This was the moment when I made my decision.”
“The gun fired. My legs 40 to meet no resistance, as if I was 41 forward by some unknown force. The noise from the faithful 42 gave me greater strength. I felt the 43 of a lifetimes had come.”
“I was driven on by a44 of fear and pride. My body had long since used up all its energy 45 it went on running just the same. This was the critical moment when my legs were strong enough to carry me over the last few yards as they 46 could have done in previous years. When I leapt at（冲向）the 47 tape, I fell, almost48 .
“I knew I had done it, even before I 49 the time. The announcement came. ‘Result of the one mile…Time, three minutes…’the test was 50 in the noise of excitement.”

One of the most remarkable things about the human mind is our ability to imagine the future. In our 16 we can see what has not yet happened．For example, while we are looking forward to visiting a new place or country, we 17 what it will be like. We predict the 18 people will eat, dress and act. Of course, we do not always predict things correctly. Things are often very different from the way we 19 them to be.
One of the 20 dreams in history is the dream of the German scientist, Kekule, who had been 21 to work out a very difficult problem in physics. He had 22 and analyzed the problem from every angle for days, but there seemed to be no way of 23 out the answer. Then one night he went to bed and dreamed．When he 24 up, he realized that he knew the answer. He had solved the problem in his 25 .
The hypnotist(催眠者) sat in the chair opposite him and spoke 26 : I want you to concentrate on my voice. Think about nothing. You know nothing but my voice. And as you pay attention to my voice, your 27 will get heavier. Soon you’ll be asleep.
You will hear my voice and 28 my words, but your body will be asleep, your eyes are too heavy. You are almost asleep, and when you wake up you will 29 nothing.
You will forget everything. Now I am going to 30 slowly from one to five. One, two, three, four, five.

Steve Jobs on life and death
When I was 17, I read a quote （引述） that went something like: “If you live each day as if it was your last, some day you’ll most certainly be right.” It made an 1 on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every 2 and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the 3 has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to 4 something.
Remembering that I’ll be 5 soon is the most important tool I’ve ever used to help me make the big 6 in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all 7 of embarrassment or failure — these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is 8 important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to 9 . You are already naked. There is no reason not to 10 your heart.
Your time is limited, so don’t 11 it living someone else’s life. Don’t be 12 by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the 13 to follow your beliefs and goals. They somehow already know what you really want to 14 . Everything else is 15 .
