Every day there is less and less space on Earth for rubbish． Yet every day we make more and more rubbish． What can we do？ We can recycle some of our rubbish． Recycling means that the rubbish will be made into something that can be used again．
Recycling helps Earth． And it saves space in rubbish dumps． Half of everything that we put into landfills could be recycled instead． In fact， most things made of paper， metal， glass and plastic can be recycled．
Paper can be broken into small pieces and made into new paper． Steel and aluminum cans（金属雄）can be melted down（熔化）and made into new cans． The same is true of glass bottles． This can be done aver and over again． Recycling doesn't take as much energy as making these things the first time． So we can use less of Earth's fuel resources．
Plastic can be melted down， too． Then it can be formed into park benches， playgrounds and so on． Some people call plastic the "wood" of the future． Things made of plastic will last about 400 years﹣even if they stay outside in the weather． No wood can do that!

Ten years ago， the owner of 20th Century Fox had it all﹣a 3．5 million house in Beverly Hills，a 1 million salary （薪水）， a Porsche， a yacht （游艇） and many film stars on his friend list． But for Scott Neeson， his rich life changed in 2003 when he visited Cambodia and saw the poor children．

Trees are one of the oldest" citizens（公民）" of our Earth． They keep our air clean ， reduce noise pollution， improve water quality and provide food and building materials．
Just like us， trees change a lot as they grow． At I to 3 years old， young trees learn how to protect themselves． For example， many trees grow thorns（刺）to warn animals not to go near． Most young tree have large， deep green leaves so that they can catch enough sunlight and change it into their food and energy．
When trees are 4 years old， they begin to grow very rapidly and become strong enough to face challenges later in life． At the age of 15， trees become young adults． They grow more slowly and begin to produce flowers and fruit．
It is not until the tree is 20 to 25 years old that it becomes a real adult． The tree reaches its largest size． The adult tree gives us shade， oxygen and natural beauty； it is also a great place for a tree house， or a place for us to read a book， listen to music and so on． If we give the adult tree proper care， it will go on to live healthily for many years．
Gradually， trees begin to grow older and older and even die． At this time， they still have their important place in nature． When a tree becomes hollow（空心的）or part of it becomes dead， it provides a home to small animals and is a source of food for many other animals．
In many ways， the life of a tree is similar to our own life experience． When we are looking at the life of a tree， we learn about that each period of life brings its own form of joy and challenge．
Enjoy every minute of the life of the trees and take care the trees!

One day， while I was waiting for my father， I saw a little boy， around two years old， running freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance． The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been set free from some sort of prison（监狱）． The boy would then fall to the grass， get up， without looking back at his mother， run as fast as he could， again， still with a smile on his face， as if nothing had happened．
At that moment， I thought to myself， "Why aren't most adults this way？ " Most adults， when they fall down， make a big deal out of it and don't even make a second attempt． They would be so embarrassed that they would not try again if someone saw them fall． Or， because they fall， they would find a good excuse for themselves that they're not fit for it． They would end up being too afraid to attempt again for fear of failure（失败）．
However， with kids， when they fall down， they don't consider their falling down as a failure， instead， they treat it as a learning experience． They try again and again until they succeed． The answer must be that they have not connected "falling down" with the word "failure"． What's more， they probably think to themselves that it's quite okay to fall down and that it's not wrong to do so． In other words， they allow themselves to make mistakes， so they remain energetic．
I was deeply impressed by the boy' s persistence（坚持不懈） and the manner in which he did．

（3）In the writer's opinion， why can't many adults succeed？
| A． |
Because they are afraid of being embarrassed． |
| B． |
