On Monday, my classmates and I heard that our geography teacher’s father had died. We were surprised that he was still teaching in school. My best friend was telling me that by teaching he was trying to forget losing his father and become strong in the way to teaching.
We came up with an idea. When we went back to school yesterday, we gave him cheer-up cards which we had taken time to decorate with flowers, hearts and peace signs. As we had handed the cards to him, we both could see the light in his eyes. The look on his face said how much he thanked what we did for him. The whole scene was very warm and loving, and it’s hard to express in words. He enjoyed it very much and the expression on his face was really lively. This morning, when we both went to see the teacher again, he had been so happy, and had given us both a hug. This made us both feel that we just might have made his day, and that he was going to be okay.
With that, I want to tell you to take the time to smile at the ones you love. Life is so dear, so let us be happy and enjoy the gift of life.

When we consider the plastic packages we use every day, we might think about the harm to the environment. But few of us wonder whether or not these packages might actually be bad for our health. In fact, scientists in the UK believe that “plastic pollution could be about to get personal” for British teenagers.
According to a report in the Sunday Times in February, scientists at Exeter University tested 94 students aged 17-19 and found mark of a chemical called Bisphenol A(BPA,双酚 A) in the bodies of
86% the teenagers..
BPA, explained Science Daily, is widely added to plastic packages to make them strong. The chemical can be found in plastic bags and water bottles. DVDs, CDs and sunglasses also have BPA.
To understand the possible dangers of BPA, we have to understand the human endocrine( 内分
泌的) system. The endocrine system produces something special which affects our growth slowly. Once inside the body, BPA influences the human endocrine system and may affect some body functions.
The US Food and Drug Administration has banned the use of BPA in the making of baby bottles in order to stop BPA going into baby bodies. And some worry BPA may cause diabetes(糖尿 病) and heart conditions, but they are not sure. So, if you really want to continue using plastic bottles,
you can do that, but don’t forget to recycle them.
1.Which of the following things don’t have BPA according to the article?
A. Plastic bags. B. Glass bottles. C. Sunglasses. D. Water bottles.
2.What did the scientists at Exeter University find?
A. BPA makes no difference to the students.
B. It’s hard to get rid of BPA inside the body.
C. BPA causes great harm to teenagers’ health.
D. Many tested teenagers have BPA in the bodies.
