"Mom, "said Trevor, as he watched his mother washing the old cans (罐), "why are you washing these old cans?"
"I'm getting them ready for being put into the recycling box," said Mom.
"Well, they are rubbish to us, because we don' t need them anymore. I wash the cans out so that they won't attired insects," said Mom. "We don' t use some things, but it doesn't mean they have no value. These cans can be melted (熔化) down to make new cans or other things."
"I didn't think of that," said Trevor. "Is that why you save all the cardboard(纸板) or newspapers too?"
Mom nodded, "That is also why I save all those vegetable bits, I use them all in our garden."
"Our teacher told us about projects other classes had done for Earth Day, and she asked for suggestions for our class projects. I can't think of anything. Do you have any good ideas, Mom?" asked Trevor.
Mom wiped (擦) her hands with a towel (毛巾) and thought for a few minutes. "I saw an article in a magazine about wise ideas about recycling. It must be something you will be interested in."

“If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!”
That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and how cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin (皮肤), you can feel better . For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too. All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things as we buy food and clothes. To see something well, we have to touch it. There are ways of learning to see well by feelings. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to (习惯于) them. Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things for you to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch!” There you can feel everything on show. If you want to see better, reach out and touch.
