Qi Haoran, a Junior 1 student, was quite busy over the past winter vacation ---- and not just with homework. Qi, together with 10 other classmates made a volunteer group to call on people to join the Clean Your Plate Campaign (“光盘行动”).
The 11 students went to many restaurants and told people the importance of saving food. “Excuse me, do you know that 950 million people around the world still haven’t got enough to eat? Please don’t waste food.” They would say this kind of thing hundreds of times every day.
The Clean Your Plate Campaign began on the Internet in January. It calls on people to reduce food waste.
China in these years had serious problems with wasted food. CCTV reported in January that the food Chinese people waste every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year.
Chinese people are famous for being hospitable (好客的) and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food.
The campaign has got the support of many. In a restaurant in Xinjiang, the owner gives the guests who have eaten all that they ordered a sticker. People can enjoy a free meal when they have 10 stickers. More than 750 restaurants in Beijing have begun to offer smaller dishes and encourage their guests to take leftovers (剩饭剩菜) home.

My parents divorced when I was 8 years old. Their marriage was a mistake of World War II. And about 50 years ago, I was the only child I knew who didn't have a father at home on Father's Day. Divorce was very uncommon back then.
So when my friends were in town shopping for presents for their fathers, I decided since my mother was both Mother and Father, no one else was like her, who better deserved(be worth) a present on Father's Day than her?
I bought her a little set of tools, just a few things, hammer, pliers(钳子) and screwdriver(螺丝起子) and a box to put all these things in. I got some ideas from my grandfather and named it Mother's Tool Box. She was excited, more at the thought of being cared for on Father's Day than of the present. She always said she liked her Father's Day memories better than the Mother's Day ones. It made her feel special — and she was. I have noticed in the past few years, greeting cards are even made for "Mother on Father's Day". Ever since then, my mother has got cards on Father’s Day. By the way, she knew just how to use those tools and others she had ever used over the years.Which sentence shows that divorce was very uncommon at that time?

The elephant is the largest animal to walk on Earth. An elephant can carry a load of 1,200 pounds（磅）. They eat 300 pounds of food a day. An elephant baby can weigh 200 pounds at birth. Elephants can live up to 70 years.

Elephants use their ears as a cooling system. Blood flows through veins (静脉) in the ears and as the elephant flaps (拍击) his ears, the blood cools and flows through his body to cool off other parts.
There are two kinds of elephants: the African elephant and the Indian elephant. African elephants can be identified(识别) by the larger ears. The African elephant grows up to 10 feet tall and weighs as much as 12,000 pounds.
