Spring is coming . The flowers will start blossoming (开花)and the trees will be filled with colors. It’s time of the year for people to plant trees. Planting trees is a good way to protect our environment. But most of us don’t have a place to plant trees. So what can we do for protecting the environment? We can make a difference from the others. For example, we can think about a way to make people cut down fewer trees. As we know, paper is made from trees. If we use less paper, we can save a lot of trees. Then we may have a problem that how to use less paper. Let me tell you my ideas. |
| Reducing Our Paper Waste Every day we just use the paper and we don’t think about where the paper comes from.Let us think about wasting a piece of paper is like wasting a tree. We can start with reducing the amount of paper products that we use. This could be done by such a simple way as using e-mail instead of writing notes. | Reusing 
We could reuse paper that is clean on one side for drafts, notes and even photocopies. As students, we could reuse paper by doing our research online or at libraries rather than buying lots of written paper. Sharing books or buying a used textbook for school is another way of reusing. | Recycle We should consider recycling notebook paper, newspapers, magazines and colored paper. We can buy paper towels, tissues, and toilet paper that have been made from recycled paper. Don’t throw away the wasted newspapers or books which are not useful to you.

When spring comes and the flowers begin to bloom(开花), the bees come out of the hives(蜂房) very early in the morning. 1.
The bee has a long tongue which goes into the flower to suck(吸) up the juice.
2. When the bee flies out to work in the morning to look for flowers, it may go to places very far from its hive, but it never loses its way. When the rain comes down, the bee will hide in some little hole in a wall, or perhaps among the leaves of a tree, or inside a large flower.
3.
Bees gather not only the juice but also the pollen(花粉) from inside the flowers.
4. They also use pollen to make wax(蜂蜡).
5. We may also thank it for many useful things which are made of wax.

Flowers are the best symbol of spring. The peach blossom (桃花) is one of those seasonal flowers. It usually blooms (开花) in March and April. You can enjoy the beautiful peach blossoms in almost any place of China, east or west, south or north. But if you want to find something special, you may go to Nyingchi in Tibet. There you can see a sea of pink at the foot of snow-covered mountains under a blue sky.
The peach blossom, with its beauty, has won the hearts of visitors as well as many Chinese poets and writers. From China’s first book of poetry, the Classic of Poetry, to the many poems of the Tang Dynasty, the peach blossom is usually connected to beautiful young ladies. As one famous poem goes, “In this house on this day last year a pink face vied; In beauty with the pink peach blossom side by side.” The peach blossom makes people think of the flush on a shy woman’s face.
Because of this, the peach blossom is always connected to romance in China. Chinese people often say “to have peach blossom luck”. It means being lucky in love. And if your eyes are in the shape of peach petals(花瓣), you have a pair of “peach blossom eyes”. And you probably have peach blossom luck.
