Save the world’s trees
“When it comes to the Earth, there is no time to waste.” says the Earth Day Network. And that is right. Protecting our environment is very important, and World Earth Day was created in 1970 to ask more people to protect our environment. On April 22, people around the world celebrate Earth Day.
Every year there is a special topic, and this year it is “Trees for the Earth”, so Earth Day this year will be all about planting trees. They are planning to plant 7.8 billion trees within the next five years.
That’s a big goal, and you might wonder why trees are so important. Because they can take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and protect the air quality(质量). CO2 is a chemical in our atmosphere, but humans make too much of it. Each person makes about 2.3 tons a year, which is bad for the environment.
Well guess what! Planting new trees is important because people cut down a huge number of trees. Last year, there were 3 trillion trees in the world, about 139 billion in China. But according to China Daily, the world’s total number has been almost cut in half since human civilization(文明) began. That’s because 15 billion trees are cut down every year.
So we need to plant more to make up for(弥补)the ones we lost. One tree can take in 21.8 kilograms of CO2 per year. And it’s still one of the cheapest and best ways to get rid of CO2.
But don’t forget that we can also help the environment by cutting down on how much energy(能源) or water we use every day. Every little thing helps.

The Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Some parents send their children to the best schools or even to England, the US or Australia, though this costs too much. Many also want their children to learn a musical instrument or ballet that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is, so parents often spend a large amount of money on education. Even poor couples buy a computer for their son or daughter.
However, what most parents fail to see is that the best education they can give their children is usually very cheap. Parents can see that their children’s skills vary (变化); they will usually be skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children don’t believe in themselves.
The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study effectively. They are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.
Parents can help achieve this by teaching their children practical skills like cooking, sewing and other housework.
Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. The result, a well-cooked dinner, will give a child a lot of pleasure and confidence.
An old machine such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child as a toy may make him curious and interested. If he will spend hours looking at it, and try to repair it; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. Such activities do more than teach a child to read a book; but they teach them to think, and to use their minds. This is much more important than learning by reading a book.

Girls in their teens easily make a lot of mistakes when it comes to food. It's the age that makes a girl most enjoy having junk food. The chart shows the result of a survey on junk food for 600 girls. Here is some advice on how to eat healthily.
A Heavy Breakfast
Not having breakfast in the morning is a bad habit. It's because your stomach remains empty the whole night. So you can plan your breakfast this way. Have healthy drinks. Make brown bread and add low fat butter on it. You can also have an egg. It doesn't take much time to prepare and you can easily have them before going to school.
A Moderate Lunch
If you eat a heavy meal during your lunchtime, then you will end up feeling sleepy for the rest of a day.The choices for lunch are chicken, meat and vegetables. Have fish as often as you can and have brown rice sometimes. Chicken sandwiches are not only healthy but also delicious. Keep lunch simple and avoid adding too much oil and salt.
A Light Dinner
Keep your dinner as little as possible. For dinner, you can have a small serving of vegetables and soup. Having a light dinner is a right way to lose weight. You can also drink a cup of healthy drink, fruit smoothie or milk after dinner. When you keep your dinner light, your digestive system(消化系统) only takes very little time to break down and take in the food. This keeps a balance in your health.

阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题.
When it comes to the letter grade on your test or homework, you might notice that there is no letter E. Have you ever thought about why that is so?
In the A, B, C, D and F grading system, the first four letters are typically considered passing grades. An F in this system simply stands for“fail”.The word“fail”happens to start with the letter F, which seems to leave out the letter E. The fact”.Some schools have U grade for“unsatisfactory”,or I grade for “incomplete”.
Even with all this said, we should also point out that E grade actually has been
used pretty commonly throughout the history of letter grades in the US.
The first college in the US to use a letter grading system like the ones we use today is Mount Holyoke College. In 1897,they began to use the following grading scale:
A: 95-100%(excellent) B: 85-94%(good) C: 76-84%(fair)
D: 75%(barely passed) E: below 75%(failed)
We can see the inclusion of E instead of F.
Gradually,the letter grading system became more popular throughout the US. However, many schools decided to drop the E grade and go straight to F.There is no evidence(证据) to really support this,but one possible explanation is that teachers were worried that some students and parents might mistake E for “excellent”.
Why do we have letter grades? Well,part of the reason is that they made grading simpler during a time of great change for schools. As the 20th century began,growing cities and an increase in immigration led to larger school classrooms. Most teachers at that time thought this new letter grading system was an easy,fair and clear way to grade students.
Today,more and more people argue that letter grades don’t fully reflect(反映) student learning。However,as teachers try to improve grading methods,many parents continue to favor the letter grades they got as kids, they are familiar(熟悉) and easy for parents to understand. So while they might not be perfect, the letter grades probably aren’t going away any time soon.
1.what does an F stand for in the A、B、C、D and F grading system?
2.when was the letter grading system first used in the US college?
3.what is one possible explanation for dropping the E grade?
4.what did most teachers think of the letter grading system in the 20th century?
5.why do many parents still prefer the letter grades today?
