I arrived in the UK last weekend to learn English． So（56） ， I have already made a few friends and had some English food there． But after（57） （have） three days of hamburgers， sandwiches and（58） （potato）， I thought none could be（59） delicious than Chinese food， especially my favorite﹣huo guo， When I knew there was going to（60） a free meal of hotpot to welcome the new students， I was so excited（61） I went to the canteen quickly．
To（62） surprise， when I stepped into the room， I didn't see any sign of huo guo． After I talked with an English girl， I got to know that Chinese huo guo is（63） （complete） different from hotpot． Chinese huo guo is（64） （write） in two words﹣hot pot；and hotpot， one word， is a（65） （tradition） English dish．

Most people just throw them away． With the（21） of electronic industry， e﹣waste pollution has become a serious problem． According to the UN， in 2014， people around the world produced 41.8million tons of e﹣waste and only（22） less than 20% of it． The USA was（23） waster in the world， producing 7.1million tons． China came second，（24） 6million tons．

Life will be peaceful if you always do kind things．I teach my daughters to d（76） a habit of helping others．
We live in a rural（乡村） area．Most of what we see is beautiful nature．One of the exceptions （例外） to the beauty is the rubbish that some people throw out of their car windows．And there are no necessary public s（77） ．Such as rubbish collection．
A helping behavior（行为） that I often p（78） with my daughters is picking up rubbish in our neighborhood．My daughters often have a m（79） to see who can collect the most rubbish．They will often say to me in an excited voice，"There's some rubbish，﹣Daddy，stop the car!"Without t（80） more，we will often get out of the our car and pick it up．Though it may seem s（81） ，we do it．In fact，we enjoy it．We pick it up rubbish in parks，on sidewalks，almost a（82） ．
One day I saw a man I had never met before picking up rubbish on the road．I stopped．He r（83） his head and said to me with a smile，"I saw you doing this with your family．It's a good idea to protect our natural world．"
There are many other ways to p（84） kindness for others．You may share a dinner with a beggar（乞丐），visit lonely old people in the nursing home，or help the blind cross the street．You can think of something that can be finished e（85） but helpful．It is fun，self﹣satisfying，and what's more，it can set a good example．Helping others is helping yourself．
