举一反三
1. Reduce(减少)
If you want to reduce waste, you should use things wisely. A large number of trees are being cut down to
make paper. If everyone uses a little paper carelessly and throw it out, soon we would not have any trees left.
Other things are also being wasted, and people don"t know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is
necessary to reduce the waste.
2. Reuse
You should always think of reusing the usable things before throwing them out. Give your clothes you do
not use or the ones which are too small to the poor. In a family, you may pass on such clothes to younger
brothers or sisters.
3. Recycle
Bottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By doing so we save lots of time and money. For example,
coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed (打碎) flat and melted (融化) and the metal things are
made for new coke cans.
4. Recover
When you buy a box of apples, there may be a few rotten apples, you have two choices: one is to throw
the whole apples away, or you could cut off the rotten parts and use the good parts. In this way, you are
recovering the eatable parts of food.
5. Repair
If one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it. If you want to change for better ones, it is
better for you to sell the old things or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair. It is
true that North America is a "throw-away" society, but the time has come to change our way of life so that we
can protect our environment. Every one of us should try our best.

| Think of life in a desert: no food or water, only strong sun and heavy wind full of sand. You"d die of thirst while waiting for a passing plane that never comes. But don"t dismiss the thought as a nightmare (噩梦). Your hometown could become a desert if nothing is done to prevent it. Deserts are eating land at high speed. In China, desertification (沙漠化) has affected 2,622,000 square kilometres, equal to 14 Guangdong Provinces, mostly in the North. Deserts are advancing at a pace of 2,460 kilometres per year. According to the UN, one-third of the planet"s land surface, with one billion people, has become desert. Africa, Asia and Latin America have the driest land in danger of desertification. Recognizing the threat (威胁) to human beings, the United Nations has named 2006 the International Year of Deserts and Desertification. It wants to increase public awareness (关注) of advancing deserts. Activities include a film festival in Rome with films on life in unproductive (贫瘠的) lands. Meetings will discuss international cooperation, such as planting trees and changing agricultural practices. Desertification takes place where rain is little and the climate hot. But human activities are the biggest cause. Land turns into desert when the soil is over-farmed and too many animals eat up plants. To make money, people also cut down trees that hold the soil. Desertification brings serious problems. From 1991 to 2000, droughts (干旱) killed over 280,000 people worldwide. When land becomes useless, there"s a big loss in food production. Dust from deserts is blown into cities around the world. Each spring, Beijing is at risk of yellow dust from the Gobi Desert. Dust from Africa reaches cities in the US and Europe, leading to illnesses and worsening environments. | |
