The weather was perfect. We were just out for a picnic. When lunch time came, we decided to go and get something to eat, and meet back on the grass.
Susan and I headed for a hot dog stand (摊) . We watched the seller put together the hot dog. But when Susan took out her money, the man surprised us. "It looks a little overdone," he said, "so you don’t have to pay me. " We said our thanks,joined our friends, and began to enjoy our food. But as we talked and ate, I noticed a man sitting alone, in dirty clothes. I could tell that he hadn’t had a bath for days. Another homeless person, I thought.
We finished eating but when Susan and I went to throw away the lunch bag, I heard a voice ask, "there isn’t any food in that bag, is there?"
It was the homeless man. I didn’t know what to say. "No, I ate it already. " "Oh, really? " was his only answer. He was obviously very hungry.
I felt bad for him, but I didn’t know what to do. Suddenly Susan said, "I’ll be right back. Please wait for me a minute. " I watched curiously (好奇地) as she went across to the hot dog stand. Then I realized what she was doing. She bought a hot dog, crossed back, and gave the man the food.
When she came back to us, Susan said simply, "I was just passing on the kindness that someone gave to me. "
That day I learned how generosity can go farther than the person you give to. By giving, you teach others how to give also. You never know what happiness a simple act of care will bring.The correct order of the following things is ________.
a. Susan bought a hot dog for the man.

Learning about the environment is very important. There are many good books that will help you learn. To get started, ask your teacher or a librarian for some suggestions.

Climate change may be a big problem, but there are many little things we can do to make a difference.
Driving a car or using electricity is not wrong. We just have to be smart about it. Some people use less energy by carpooling. For example, four people can ride together in one car instead of driving four cars to work. Whenever we use electricity, we put greenhouse gases(气体) into the air. By turning off lights, the television and the computer when they aren’t needed, you can help a lot.
Don’t buy products that use too much energy. Some products, like certain cars, are made specially to save energy. These don’t pollute as much, either. Products like computers, TVs, and VCRs with the ENERGY STAR label(标签)R are made to save energy. Buying products with these labels will help protect the environment.
Buy recyclable products instead of (代替) non-recyclable ones. Recyclable products are usually made out of things that have already been used. It usually takes less energy to make recyclable products than to make new ones. So when you go shopping, look for the recycle mark on the package—three arrows that make a circle.The less energy we use, the better.
