traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional (精神上的) hurts. Often they appear
again in dreams.
Now American researchers think they are close to developing a drug which will help people forget bad
memories. The drug is designed to he taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might
reduce or possibly erase (清除) the effect of painful memories.
In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body producing
chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects
of memories may be reduced, not all the memories are erased.
The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.
Supporters say it could lead to drugs that prevent or treat soldiers" troubling memories after war. They
say that there are many people who suffer from terrihle memories.
"Some memories can ruin (毁坏) people"s lives. They come back to you when you don"t want to have
them in a dream. They usually come with very painful emotions," said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry
at Harvard Medical School. "This could reduce a lot of that suffering."
But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories
give us our identity (特质). They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past."
All of us can think of bad experiences in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are.
I"m not sure we want to erase those memories," said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.
B. make people forget what happened in the past
C. help soldiers get away from troubling memories
D. treat people who suffer from terrible memories
B. reduce the effect of bad memories
C. help people improve their memories
D. totally erase the painful memories
B. the drug can prevent people from sufferings
C. bad memories make us different from others

to help. But, what exactly does that mean?
Use It Up
You can use things up instead of wasting them. Squeeze that last bit of toothpaste out of the tube. Use
the last little piece of soap. Don"t throw away any bits of the biscuit at the bottom of the box.
Wear It Out
You do not always need to have new things. Suppose your sneakers have broken laces, but they still
fit you. Repair them and wear them longer. You don"t have the latest iPhone until the old one doesn"t work
anymore. Then you can get a new one. Think twice before replacing something that still works.
Make It Do
When something you want is not on hand, look for something else that you already have to take its place.
Suppose you are packing your lunch for tomorrow and want a butter sandwich. You are out of butter. Have
a cheese sandwich instead so that you can use all of the cheese. Learn to fix broken toys instead of just
throwing them away. With a little thought, you can make something do, instead of buying something new.
Do Without
Think about all those things that you would like to have. Do you really need them? How long will you
really play with that new toy you saw on TV? Making the things that we want uses up your world"s resources(资源). And, getting rid of the things we don"t want any more takes up even more resources and space.

| Recently, more and more people pay attention to eating healthily. Some food additives (添加剂) are used to make different kinds of foods. Some of them can make the food more delicious and some of them can make it colorful. But lots of chemicals are used to produce what we eat every day. Sudan red is a kind of chemical that factories used it to dye cloth, make the shoes brighter. But some people produced salted duck eggs with it. However, it isn"t a kind of food additive. The food made from Sudan red makes it easier to cause cancer. Melamine (三聚氰胺) is another kind of chemical that are banned (禁止). It"s white crystal (晶体), which was discovered by a German chemist called Sustus Von Liebig in 1834. Melamine can be used to make paper, medicine and woods, ect. But nobody can imagine that some people used it as a material of milk powder (粉末). Because of melamine, it"s reported that 4 babies died and more than 50 thousand babies are affected since 2008. Sanlu, a famous milk powder factory was closed. What"s worse, milk powder with melamine appeared in 2011 again. Problems of food safety, for example, poisonous rice, lean meat powder (瘦肉精) and plasticizers (塑化剂) are becoming more and more serious. Fortunately, lots of laws have been made to make the solution (解决方法) better. We think we will eat more healthily in the future. |

| Want to save the environment? You probably can"t fix everything on your own, but by taking small steps and keeping the environment in mind every day, you can make a difference, 1. Think Green. Challenge yourself to think about the environment as you live your life. If you shut off lights when you leave the room, turn off your TV when you"re not watching it, you"ll save energy. If you take shorter showers, you"ll save water. 2. Shop Green. Shopping is fun, but buying things you don"t need is wasteful and bad for the earth. Before you buy something, ask yourself how much you"ll really use it. Keep yourself away from buying products with unnecessary packaging (包装), and whenever possible, buy things that were locally made instead of those shipped from far away. 3. Dress Green. Wear green trousers and T-shirts if you want. But what really matters isn"t the colour, it"s how the clothes were made. If you want to help the environment, the best place to find clothes is at a vintage store, but you might not want to buy everything used. No matter where you shop, keep an eye out for products made from environmentally friendly materials like organic (有机的) cotton, which is grown without the use of pesticides (***虫剂). 4. Study Green. What"s better than learning about the environment? Save it while you learn, It can be as simple as using both sides of a piece of paper before you recycle it, or reusing an old textbook:instead of buying a new one. If you want to do more, join an environmental group at your school, and encourage your friends to join, too. |

| Nowadays green food is popular. We know we need green food and good health, 1 not all people knew that years ago. When I was in Grade 8, my teacher asked us to 2 something about green food by ourselves. We didn"t have any idea at first. Then our four-member group had a 3 and decided to do some research in a supermarket. Two of us wrote down the names of the 4 food on the shelves.
