When you hear about trees cut for paper, you might think of your favorite trees in the backyard, nearby parks or wild forests being cut to pieces.
the good news is that production and use of paper will not cause forests to disappear. Most trees used for paper come from timberlands(林地). People plant trees here for use. It usually takes 10 to 20 years for trees to grow big enough to be cut down. During that time, trees provide a home for animals and produce oxygen(氧气) for the earth. And after people cut down the big trees, they plant small ones again.
Often, a tree is not cut down for making paper at all. People use the big part for buildings. Paper is then made from the left small part.
We also recycle paper—People collect used paper and turn it into new products, likes boxes, newsprint and writing paper, in the factory. So it’s important for us to recycle paper and reduce(减少) the amount(数量) of it in landfills(垃圾处理场).

Good morning, boys and girls. Today I’ll talk about going online.
We know that there are too many Net bars（网吧）around us. The Internet makes our lives interesting. Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use the computer. We can learn English and read some newspapers and magazines to know more information around us. It can make us clever in playing computer games. Also when we send e-mails to our friends, they can get them at once. It can help us keep in touch with people from all over the world.
But some students spend too much time in playing computer games and some stay in the Net bars all day and all night. It takes them too much time to chat online so they do worse in their lessons and they don’t study well any more. I think we mustn’t get online when it is time for us to study. We can do it in summer or winter holidays. I think we should get online with our teachers or parents.
At the same time, if we have lots of free time, we can do some activities after school. We usually have activities from 4:50 to 5:50 in the afternoon. We can play basketball or football. We also have some interest groups in school, such as drawing, singing and dancing. We can go to the English corner on Monday afternoon. I hope we can spend more time on our subjects or on such activities that we can learn a lot from and less time on the Internet.
That’s all! Thank you.

There are many wetlands in China and some of them are the world’s important wetlands. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province, the east of China. They are homes for many different kinds of birds and animals. The world’s largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve 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.
The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine, too. They are really good places for wildlife. Offering food and home for some special kinds of animals and birds is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also prevent flood. But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. This means there will be less and less space for wildlife.
