I hadn’t spoken with Cindy for months. I don’t even remember why now. I used to admire her too. Until she proved that she could draw better, run faster and score higher in every other subject. My classmates used to admire me, but now they ignore me completely.
My parents didn’t help me either. “Come on, Hanna, we know you can do better. Take Cindy for example, isn’t she a great girl? You should invite her over some day.”
I knew that Cindy and I wouldn’t get along at all. Even if I had liked her, we just weren’t made for each other. I spent the week ignoring Cindy and staying inside reading. I turned down each invitation of hiking, kayaking and everything that had to do with her. I thought I could get away without talking to her, but it wasn’t so.
On the fourth night of our trip, a thunderstorm struck I woke up late at night. The storm had gotten worse. I hopped out of bed and pulled on a pair of socks and shoes, being careful not to wake anyone up.
However, when I was reaching for my flashlight, I accidentally stepped on Cindy’s arm. She woke up immediately and insisted going to the bathroom with me. On our way back, I thought of crawling into my warm bed.
However, I found it was impossible as soon as I saw a big tree lying across the entrance of the door of the cabin. There was no way to get back in. Cindy, however, knew what to do. She pulled out a picnic blanket from one of the many bags left behind and spread it out.
"It’s not a lot, but if we use each other’s body-heat, we’ll be warm enough,” she said. I had no choice but to go through with it and that’s how we got through the storm.
Morning dawned on us with a mission. We both got help.
Cindy looked carefully at me and this whole time she actually wanted to be my friend. I finally realized I wanted to be her friend, too.

Even if you shop with plastic bags, always remember to recycle them. Most families don’t realize the importance of eco-friendly living, especially children.
So how can you help children start seeing green? Well, here are a few suggestions.
Don’t buy toys-borrow instead. If kids are concerned, most toys start to lose their shine. Don’t let the unloved toys gather dust around the house-instead, join a local toy library, give them to the library. And if you do buy new toys, try to buy toys made from wood and other eco-friendly materials.
Spend time outside. Make sure your child spends time learning to be outside. Let him/her get involved in nature by planting a tree, building a birdhouse, or taking a bike ride in a nearby park.
Teach green. Even if your child doesn’t receive an environmental education in the classroom, there’s no reason that you can’t spread the word at home. Let your kid help out with separating your recyclables.
Stick with eco-friendly entertainment. Most kids may not seem like interested in the subject on the environment, but put it in a TV show and they’ll change their minds. Give them a taste of the online cartoon show, and you’ll finally find the children learn it happily.
1.The phrase “help children start seeing green” can be replaced by“__________”.
A. help children see the green color
