Today Newtown is a clean place, but many years ago there were millions of rats there. The rats even attacked (攻擊 ) the cats and dogs. Sometimes many of them tried to bite men or women at night. The rats were very large in size and they harmed (傷害 ) many people.
The city office ordered every one to kill rats. However, most people were lazy, so they did not kill many rats. The city office could do nothing with the citizens and could do nothing with the rats, either. Some time later, they had to pay some money for each dead rat. That made the people very happy. They at once began to kill rats. They got as many dead rats as they could. And some of them even stopped their own work to kill rats because they could get more pay. Every day a city official(官員 ) put all the dead rats together. He was very busy doing that, because sometimes a man brought hundreds of them in one day. Two weeks later, there were not so many rats in the city as before,  but people still brought many dead rats to the city office. The city officials felt surprised at this but at last they found out people were stealing the dead rats they had collected. So the city official had to order his men to dig a big hole and put the dead rats in it. Soon there were no more rats and the city did not have to pay any more money for that

Last July, my 12-year-old car died on California's Santa Freeway. It was an hour before sunset, and I was 25 miles from home. I couldn't reach anyone to pick me up, so I decided to take a bus. Not knowing the routes, I thought I'd just go east.
A bus stopped. I got on and asked the driver how far she was going, "Ten more miles," she said. There was another bus I could take from there. This clearly was going to be a long night.
I got off at the end of the route and she told me which bus to look for. After waiting 30 minutes, I began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home. Then a bus came up. There was no lighted number above its windshield. It was out of service, but the door opened. It was the same driver.
“I just can't leave you here,” she said. “This isn't the nicest place. I will give you a ride home.”
“You will drive me home on the bus?" I asked, astonished.
“No, I will take you in my car,” she said.
“It's a long way," I insisted.
“Come on, ” she said. “I have nothing else to do.”
As we drove from the station in the car, she began telling me a story, A few days earlier, her brother had run out of gas. A good man picked him up, took him to a service station and then back to his car. “I'm just passing the favor(善意的行為) along,” she said.
When I offered her money as a thank-you, she wouldn't accept. “Just do something nice for somebody. Pass it along," she said

A Solar-powered Plane---Lowcarbon
Earlier this month, a solar-powered (太陽能動力的)plane called Lowcarbon took off to the sky for the first time. It has passed an important test on the way to travel around the world.
Lowcarbon took off from an airport in Switzerland(瑞士)at 45 km an hour. It slowly rose into the sky.
“There has never been an airplane so big, so light, using so little energy,” said Bertrand Piccard, a leader of the project.
During the 90-minute flight, Lowcarbon did several turns. It climbs nearly 1.6 km above the countryside.
Engineers plan to test a night flight in July. Then they will use the results of the tests to build a second plane. They plan to travel around the world in that plane in 2012. “We want to fly it day and night with no fuel,” Piccard said.
Piccard and pilot Andre Borschberg will take Lowcarbon around the world .They will make a few stops to change places and rest after a long time in the air----and to show off their aircraft.
Lowcarbon flies at 70 kph on average(平均). That is faster than a bike and slower than a car. The pilots will keep it in the air for up to five days at a time.

“It depends,” answered the judge.
“Well,” said the man, your cow has killed mine.

Qi Haoran, a Junior 1 student, was quite busy over the past winter vacation – and not just with homework.Qi, together with 10 other classmates made a volunteer group to call on people to join the Clean Your Plate Campaign (“光盤行動”).
The 11 students went to many restaurants and told people the importance of saving food.“Excuse me, do you know that 950 million people around the world still haven’t got enough to eat? Please don’t waste food.” They would say this kind of thing hundreds of times every day.
The Clean Your Plate Campaign began on the Internet in January.It calls on people to reduce food waste.
China in these years had serious problems with wasted food.CCTV reported in January that the food Chinese people waste every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year.
Chinese people are well known for being hospitable (好客的) and generous（大方的）.Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food.
Luckily, the campaign has got the support of many.In a restaurant in Xinjiang, the owner give the guests who have eaten all that they ordered a sticker (貼花).People can enjoy a free meal when they have 10 stickers.More than 750 restaurants in Beijing have begun to offer smaller dishes and encourage their guests to take leftovers (剩飯剩菜) home.
To reduce food waste is a big task, and it needs time.It’s important that everyone does their bit, just like Qi.Did you finish your meals today?
