        There are many wetlands (湿地) in China and some of them have become the world's important wetlands.
    The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. They are home
    for many different kinds of birds and animals. The world's largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve (自然保护区)
    is in them. More than 700 milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world,
    but every winter you can see some in the Red-crowned Cranes Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.

    buildings. This means there will be less and less space for wildlife. Luckily, more and more people are
    beginning to realize the important of wetlands and wildlife. Every year, on February 2nd, many activities are

        One thing that British and Chinese cultures share is a love for fine tea. Today, when we think of Western
    tea culture, we often think of the English and beautiful china tea cups.
    Afternoon tea 
        People believe that an English lady, Anna, first introduced the idea of afternoon tea. In the 18th and 19th
    centuries, the English ate only two main meals each day-breakfast and a heavy supper that would last for
    several hours in the evening. As a result, people often got very hungry during the long wait between these
    two meals. To solve this problem, Anna came up with the clever idea of inviting some friends to join her for
    an afternoon meal between four and five o'clock. This meal included cakes and sandwiches, and tea was
    served to wash down the food. In order to make this afternoon meal important, fine china cups and plates,
    and sliver teapots, knives, forks and spoons were used. Soon, afternoon tea parties became popular social
    occasions. Today, afternoon tea parties continue to play an important part in the social life in modern Britain.
    Will you come for coffee? 
         Coffee also has an important role in British culture. People often use the words "Will you come for coffee?"
    to mean "Would you like to come to my home for a chat (聊天)?" Normally, several different drinks such as
    tea, hot chocolate or a soft drink like orange juice will be served as well as coffee, and you will be asked what
    you would like. However, you will not normally be served wine at a "coffee" party.
    Coffeehouses and the London Stock Exchange
         In the 17th century London, coffeehouses were busy and noisy places. Businessmen and bankers went to
    coffeehouses to do their business, as well as to drink coffee. In fact, the London Stock Exchange
    (股票交易所) is believed to have started from these coffeehouses.

        Do you ever have a dream of making your home a happier place to be? Maybe there are some points you
    will follow:
        Sometimes you don't think your parents are fair to you. When you want to dress in a modern way, your
    mum doesn't like you wearing a mini-skirt. When you are making phone calls to friends, they ask if you're
    speaking to a boy or a girl. Sometimes it seems that you' re not as close to your parents as you used to be.
    How can you become close again?
        "Closing the Gap" by American author Jay McGraw gives advice on how to have a better relationship with
    your parents. He gives ways to help you under-stand your parents. When you think "my parents don't want
    me to have any fun," that usually means your parents want you to be safe. Both parents and children have
    needs. They need to feel they are important and loved. 
        You should tell your parents your needs, and find out what their needs are. Then, you can think of a way
    to make all of you happy. He gives you some ideas:
         ①. Make time to talk. You could talk about your school life and your plans for the future.
         ②. Keep a diary. This is to help you understand more about yourself and your feelings.
         ③. Show your parents you are growing up. Wash your own clothes and help around the house.
    Your parents will feel that you are no longer a small child.
         If you follow these steps, slowly, you will be able to break down the walls between your parents and
    yourself.

        Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and
    others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these
    things. But I don't agree with them.
        Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources (资源), we are short of
    others, for example, fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100 years. So if
    we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it.
    (1) I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting
    as soon as possible.
        In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent (阻止) waste from happening, for example,
    turn off the water taps when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not
    to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. (2) Waste can be
    stopped one day, if we do our best.
