French kids can be editors for a day
Can kids make their own newspapers? They do in Paris. Student editors at a French newspaper for kids called Mon Quotidien, do every day.
The ten-year-old newspaper sometimes sells 200,000 copies every day. It gets more than one million dollars every year! This is much more than many other newspapers.
How do they decide what to put in the paper? All the adult editors working on the children’s newspaper agree that the paper should be simple to read. Kids should be able to finish it within 10 minutes. The paper covers(报道) kids’ favorite subjects like school life, animals and science. It also talks about big world problems.
In order to make the paper more popular with kids, adult editors invite students aged 10 to 15 to join them. They have meetings every Wednesday and Sunday. Adult editors, reporters and kids sit together and decide which topics should come out in the paper and on which page. Which topic should come out on the front page, world news or bears in the zoo? Often the kid editors and adult editors disagree. Sometimes, the adult editors have to give up because their little editors won’t give in. Usually the student editors stay in the newspaper office for three hours at each meeting. Any kid in France can call the newspaper if they are interested in being a one-day editor.
The French newspaper Mon Quotidien has a history of 10 years.
The newspaper is for the kids to create and practice, not to earn any money.
The editors of the newspaper are all kids.
The children can finish reading the newspaper within 10 minutes because it’s simple.

If we are lucky, our owners take us for a walk.
Then there is the food. We eat the same food，meal after meal，day after day，week after week，month after month. Help！Would you like to eat the same thing all the time？No，you would not. So what makes you think we dogs like it？We don’t. We hate it.
Another thing -television. Dogs hate television. Our owners watch these stupid programs，hour after hour，night after night. Are there any programs for dogs on television？No. Not a single one.
So what can we do？What else can we do but sleep？And so we sleep. We dogs are not lazy，we are bored.

A: Jessie, I have something to tell you.
B: So what is it?
A: I think we should   to the countryside.
B: What do you mean?
A: I can’t   the noise outside every day. And parking is not so easy, you know. Do you     that these are good reasons    moving?
B: Yes, I agree. But what about the communications （交通）? We will be a long way from our friends.
A: There’s an airport and a motorway, anyway. Fast trains are also available there. It only      us half an hour to get everywhere in London. It’s quite   .
B: So communications are better than they are here?
A: I think so.
B: But what do we do with our  time? I know going out for walks seems nice. Perhaps swimming is also OK. But we can only do that in    , what do we do in winter? It’s cold and wet, not like London.
A: Don’t  . In the town there, there are cinemas, theatres, good restaurants and a jazz club. There is a large variety of choices to kill the time, isn’t   ?
B: Maybe. It sounds wonderful. But I really don’t know.

Which animal do we need   ? Dogs? Horses? No! The   to the question is cows. Why cows? Cows give us milk. And milk is one of our most important   of food.
Suppose(假设)that all the milk cows make in one year were put    bottles. And suppose these bottles were put side by side. The line of bottles would go all around the world 400    That is a lot of milk, less than half of it is used for  and cooking. Most of it is  to make butter cheese, ice cream and many other things. It takes many cows to give us ___ much milk. But not as many as it used to. A cow used to give only about 1,500 quarts(夸脱)of milk a year. Now a fine cow may   more than 3,000 quarts in a year.
Why do cows give more milk today? Now farmers have better cows. The cows get better  and better food.

Do you think animals can predict the weather or other natural events? Farmers living in the countryside think so.          They think animals’ behavior can be connected to future weather conditions or events. For example, if swans fly into the wind, a hurricane（飓风） is coming.          There are many traditional stories connecting animals and natural events. Many people think that these stories are just folklore（民间故事）, traditional stories and beliefs without scientific evidence.         Kiyoshi Shimamura is a Japanese earthquake researcher. He noticed an increase in dog bites a short time before earthquakes hit. Then, he did an investigation（调查） of twelve public health centers in Kobe, Japan.        He noticed some interesting information about the moth before the big earthquake. Treatment for animal bites had increased. In fact, aggressive (冒犯的) behavior in dogs, such as biting and barking loudly, jumped by 60 percent! People noticed other changes in animal behavior before the earthquake as well. For example, fish began swimming together in large groups, only in the middle of the water and not near the edges. Also, birds flew away from their nests for many days, leaving their eggs unprotected.     

China has decided to stop the use of free plastic bags. Supermarkets, shops and outlets(经销店) in China can’t offer plastic bags any more.
Every year, people use too many plastic bags. They throw them here and there after they have used them. The government has done its best to deal with them but failed.  While we offer quick serviceto customers, the plastic bags pollute water, earth and air, and they waste the oil. The government asks people to go back to carry cloth bags and use basketswhen they go to buy something. The cloth bags and the baskets can be used again and again.
Many months have passed. The environment has been improved a lot.

	Supermarkets, shops and outlets
Advantage	Offer       service to customers
Disadvantage	Pollute water， earth and air  and waste
What should we do	Go back to carry cloth bags and use
