I stopped to watch my little daughter busy playing in her room．In one hand was a plastic phone．In the other hand was a toy broom．I listened as she was speaking to her imaginary friend and I'll never forget the words she said，even though it was pretended（假装）．
She said，"Surie's in the corner because she's not been very good．She didn't listen to a word I said or do the things she should．"In the corner I saw her baby doll all dressed in pink．It was obvious she'd been put there to sit alone and think．
My daughter continued her"conversation"as I sat down on the floor．She said，"I'm all fed up．I just don't know what to do with her anymore． Shecries whenever I have to work and wants to play games，too．She never lets me do the things that I just have to do．She tries to help me with the dishes，but her arms just cannot reach and she doesn't know how to fold towels．I don't have the energy to teach．I have a lot of work to do and a big house to keep clean，I don't have the time to sit and play．Don't you know what I mean？"
And that day I thought a lot about making some changes in my life，as I listened to her innocent（天真的）words that cut me like a knife．I hadn't been paying enough attention to my most dear．
But how my attitude has changed，because，in my heart，I realize I've seen the world in a different light through my little darling's eyes．So，let the cobwebs（蜘蛛网）have the corners and the dust bunny rabbit rule the floor．I'm not going to worry about keeping up with them anymore．
I'm going to fill the house with memories of a child and her mother，for we have only one childhood，and we will never get another．

A week ago one of my classmates, Nitin, asked me for help with math homework. We ended up talking about computers and file-sharing（共享文件）. As we talked I found that he was more experienced and could teach me about file-sharing and networking. We went to his room and watched a movie about robots that he’d downloaded. The math homework was forgotten.
The next day he came again for homework help “What do you do on weekends?” he asked. The truth is, when I have work to do, I do it. I have no special time to kill with friends. I was embarrassed about this. I expected him to think I was boring and said, “Get a life!” He said, “OK. You’re having trouble getting along with people I can show you. I’m old than you.”
Later, he checked my computer. He even connected me to an Internet chess server（服务器）.He was becoming like a big brother.
But when I thought about it, I didn’t really want Nitin’s help” His big-brother idea began to bore me.
“I’ll get you some cool computer programs（程序）”.
“I’ll teach you how to talk to girls.”
He meant what he was saying, but I don’t know why it didn’t make me feel good. Since then he’s hardly talked to me; we seem to have forgotten each other. I don’t think he can “teach” me much, and I don’t think much of him. But I could be wrong·What did Mitin help me do?

Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Products (产品) arc not produced in a "green" way and people haven’t realized the importance of buying and using environmentally-friendly products. These lead to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of waste like glass, paper and plastics is produced (生产). The waste problem is difficult to deal with.
However, today, more and more people are choosing “green” and expecting that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: “Will this soap be bad for the environment” “Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?”
Over 20,000 people took part in a web survey (调查) on buying environmentally-friendly products. Among them, 8129 people say that they now consider the environmental safety of a product before they buy it. That is to say, companies must change the way they make and sell their products to make sure that the products are “green”.
A few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds. Some supermarket products carry labels to show that they are green. Some companies have made the clean and safe products their main selling point in advertisements.
The growing need for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business. The public will no longer accept the old idea of “buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it”. As a result, the companies have to take action.Is it easy to deal with the waste problem?
What do more and more people consider before they buy products?
In the survey, how many people prefer green products in the supermarket now?
Is it possible or impossible to get green products in the supermarket now?
Why do the companies have to rethink how to do business and take action?
