People didn't use to throw things away. They used to mend their clothes
and reused them until they wore out. When they bought things, they used to
carry shopping baskets. But now we don't reuse things well and more
rubbish has been produced. We throw away 25 million tones of waste in
our dustbins every year. That means one family throw away about one
thousand kilos of waste.
     We have a strong reason to take it as a serious problem! The fact is that
lots of rubbish we throw away could be reused or recycled. The so-called
rubbish isn't really rubbish.
     The UK is one of the worst recyclers in Europe. In other words, in the
UK they're recycling only about 8% of their everyday waste. That's much
less than many other countries. Germany recycles 10%, while Japan
recycles 40%. The government has set a goal of recycling 30% of their
everyday waste by the year 2010. But it looks that it is not easy to reach it.
As we know, some habits are difficult to change and some collection plans
are expensive to carry out.
     At present, the movement called Recycle Now in the UK tries to change
that situation. The Top designer Oliver Heath is a strong fan of the movement.
In 2005 he designed the first home built completely from recycled things,
including metal cans and glass bottles. "It always makes me excited when
I make good use of those recycled things," he said, "Maybe in the near future,
you can also make something from recycled computer printers, plastic bags,
bottle tops or CDs." When his story was reported on TV, more and more
people begin to try his ideas.
     Some local governments have set up recycling centers where it's easy for
families to take their empty bottles and old newspapers. Instead of throwing
away the so-called rubbish, some families start doing more about it.
     With the effort of the whole country, we are happy to see some progress
in some places in the UK.

     Hi, dear boys and girls! Do you know how to be a healthy kid? Here are some rules you should follow.
     First, eat different foods, especially fruit and vegetables. You may have a favourite food, but you'd better eat
something different.If you eat different foods, you will probably get more nutrients(營養(yǎng)物質(zhì)) your body needs.
     Second, drink water and milk as often as possible. When you're really thirsty, cold water is the No.l choice(選擇).

     Some doctors  think  that you should drink a glass of  water each morning ．You should drink this
water  first  before doing anything else．The  temperature  of  the  water  should  be  similar  to  body
temperature: not hot,not cold．Why should we drink this water? Water helps your body in many ways．
It helps clean out your kidneys (腎)．It prepares your stomach for digestion (消化)．Water can also
help your intestines (腸) work better．After drinking water,the intestine can more easily get nutrient (營養(yǎng)) from your food．And water helps us to go to the bathroom more easily．
     Scientists suggest that people take in 1,600 milliliters of water each day．But don't drink all of that
water in one sitting．If you do,your kidneys have to work much harder．It's better to drink some in the
morning and some in the afternoon．Some people think  it's  better  to  drink  between  meals and not
during meals．They think water makes the juice produced  in  our stomachs thinner．It is no good for
the digestion．
     Are you drinking enough water every day? Check the color of your urine (尿)．If it is light yellow,
you are probably drinking enough．If it is dark yellow,you probably need more water．A little more
water each day could make you much healthier．
