Have you ever recycled? To recycle is to take rubbish and make it into something new. Recycling is good for our planet because it makes litter into something that we can use again. Recycling also helps to clean up the litter that makes our streets look dirty.
All kinds of things can be recycled. The most common materials(材料) like glass, plastic, paper, metals, cloth are all recyclable. Sometimes these products are broken down to make the same kinds of products. An example of this type of recycling is using paper to make more paper. Garbage can also be broken down to make completely new items(物品) as well!
Some items, like glass, can be recycled forever（永远）! We can use glass items, then break them down and use them again and again. Aluminum(铝)cans are one of the most successful recycled metals. They can be recycled again and again and nearly 60% of all cans have been recycled.
The average（平均） family of four can produce nearly 2,000 pounds of garbage each year. As time goes on, we have fewer places to put all of this garbage in. Recycling is one way to limit（限制）the amount of garbage we need to put into the land.
The next time you toss a can or bottle into the dustbin, look to see if there is a recycling triangle on the label. It is the international sign for recycling. It means that the item you are going to throw in the dustbin could be recycled .

It’s Really a Miracle (奇迹)
Mr. Clarke works in New York and he brought his family to China last summer. They visited many places of interest and had a good time here. Before they left for New York, the Clarkes climbed the Great Wall. It was the greatest project over two thousand years ago. They took a lot of photos there and then they had a picnic under a big tree. Suddenly it began to rain and they hurried to the car.

Many people like to travel by plane, but I don’t like it because an airport（机场）is usually far from the city. You must get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off（起飞）and it is often late. You can’t open the window. You can’t choose（选择）the food. Planes are fast, but it takes hours to get out of the airport and into the city.
I like traveling by train. I think trains are safe（安全的）. Railway stations（火车站）are usually in cities. When you are late for a train, you can take another one. You can walk around in the train and open the windows. You can see many interesting things on your way. I know it takes a little more time.
I also like cars. You can go traveling at anytime when you want to, and you don’t need to get to a railway station or a bus stop. Also you can carry many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road.Why doesn’t the writer like to travel by plane?
