In China， each year we produce about 150 million tons of city waste according to report．Where does the waste go？ People usually burn or bury（埋）it．On the other hand， we receive waste from some developed countries． We get useful materials from it．What about the useless part？ Still burned or buried．But is it a proper way？

Waste pollutes the environment， harms people's health and causes animals to die．It also gets in the way of green and sustainabledevelopment． We can't make money at the cost of the environment．We should leave clean water and green mountains to our next generations （一代人）．

China is getting really serious about waste now．

We are taking less waste from developed counties．From January 2018，China started to stop 24 kinds of waste coming into our country．And more laws and rules about dealing with waste have been made．Anyone who breaks the law will be punished．

China also tries to put waste into good use． One example is the waste electricity factories． They burn waste to make electricity in a green way， No harmful gases or water will get into the environment．

The Chinese government is encouraging people to do waste sorting （分类）． Cities like Shanghai，Chongqing and Beijing have their own storing systems．More will join then soon．As President Xi Jinping said during a visit to Shanghai，waste sorting is a new fashion （时尚）．More and more people are forming the habit of separating their waste．

When "A Youthful Asia" came out at the Asian Culture Carnival （嘉年华） ， tears filled my eyes． It's Zhang Yixing， the singer and dancer standing there for us young people in China， and the very one who stopped me from falling．

Three years ago， my new school life began． As a junior boy from the countryside， I could hardly keep up． I tried， but still felt like an outsider． Nobody would pick me for teamwork． So I stayed in the corner， hanging my head low as if I didn't care． There was a fear in me that all my school life would be colorless．

Then on May 4， I was "colorless" in Yixing's book about his life． How could this be true for someone just named the youth idol （青年偶像）？ I read the book again， smiling with the fun part of his childhood and touched by his promise to his mum．

Something wet my eyes when he joked about his training years in Korea． He doubled his practice， pushing himself so hard as to be called "the trainee （练习生） like god"． He said it probably meant "the train like mad"．

I might have tried， but not as hard as he did． "Whenever I feel I might be falling， I tell myself to hold on until I find my moment．" Says Yixing． For me， this moment means a better self inside and a larger world outside． So I told myself I would also make a difference if I could hold on for a longer time．

Luckily， every Youth Day after that， Yixing would be there on CCTV， encouraging me with his progress． When someone asked him what color his training life was， Yixing smiled， "It's colorless． I don't know what color effort is．"

But effort pays． Not he's standing at the Asian Culture Carnival， and I know he is looking forward to something even bigger．

As the saying goes， "Give a man a fish， and you feed him for a day． Teach a man to fish， and you feed him for a lifetime．" This is the way the charity organization Heifer International（国际小母牛慈善组织） wants to end world hunger．

It began in the 1930s when an American farmer， Dan West， went to Spain to help people in need．He tried to feed the people with milk． But it seemed that there would never be enough milk． It made him think that what they needed was "not a cup， but a cow"．

Dan West returned to America． He worked together with some friends to find ways to end hunger． He believed giving animals and providing training would stop world hunger． With his help， Heifer

International was set up．

On Heifer International's website， you will see a list of animals like cows， chickens， pigs and

even fish and bees． You can offer help by buying some animals for one certain family． Those animals will have babies． With more and more animals， these families will be able to support themselves． Once these families get better lives， they will pass on the act of kindness to others． More importantly， you are buying the resources（资源） for programs run by Heifer International to help more families．

The programs also help small﹣sized farms． As a rule， each farmer must give his animal's first female （雌性）baby to another in need． Heifer International also provides training on animals' health and feeding． And these farmers all agree to teach others what they have learned as another rule．

However， there is still a long way to go． The milk may run out． But if families have their own cows， they can get plenty of milk to feed themselves． The organization wants the farmers to go on working together， helping each other and learning from each other． Maybe hunger can really be stopped．

Many homes have cameras to protect them from danger．The cameras can tell the owners if someone has entered．But the cameras do not know whether the person is a family member，a friend，a postman or a criminal （罪犯）．

Last week， some German parents who took their kids out of school early were stopped by the police at the airport． The police were making reports on students who didn't have permission（许可） to miss school．

Like many places， it is against the law to skip （不参加） school in Germany． Children over the age of 9 can't miss classes without permission from the school． But during busy travel times， some parents take their children out of school early to save money on vacations． People can often save a lot of money on flights and hotels by going at a different time than others．

Last weekend was the beginning of an important holiday period in Germany． People in charge of the schools asked the police to check and make sure that students weren't leaving for vacations before they were allowed to．

Police officers at three German airports looked for families with school﹣aged children．When they found them， the police pulled the families out of lines to talk with them． They wanted to find out if the parents had permission for the children to be out of school． If the children did not have permission， the police reported the families to their schools and to the government． In all， the police reported about 20 families．

These families will have two weeks to show that it was okay for their children to miss school． If they can't， they may have to pay as much as﹩1，200 as a fine （罚款）， or receive some other punishment．

Germany is not the only place where parents have to pay fines if their children miss school．Many other countries and many of the states in the U．S． have similar laws．

The good news is that the families were allowed to go on vacation after they talked to the police． But they might have a big bill waiting for them when they get back．

I'd planned to spend my weekend in the sun，planting flowers outdoors．But that was before the pair of crows （乌鸦）．Out of nowhere，they had set up their base camp in our garden．

We first discovered the crows on Friday morning．It was early，and the sound the birds made traveled through our neighborhood．I thought they' d go away soon．But，no．They were getting louder and probably made my neighbors angry nearly as much as us with the noise．I felt a little disappointed．

Then，on Sunday afternoon，I looked out of the kitchen window to see our dog Quatchi watching something on the ground．I found a small coal﹣black bird in the grass．Its eyes were milky，and it stayed perfectly still as my dog inched towards it．Only when Quatchi touched his nose to its head did it walk away．I grabbed the dog and locked him inside and came back with my camera．

I never thought that the young would be hanging out on the ground，growing and gaining strength as its parents guarded it from above．The second I saw this little bird I forgave （原谅） the crows．

To be honest，I' ve never been much of a bird person．I also have a healthy respect for birds．They' re basically living dinosaurs（恐龙）．

I wish they' d chosen another garden．There are only so many sunny days in Seattle，and I still can' t do any gardening out there．But I' m also thankful that I got to see this little bit of nature．It' s pretty amazing．

The experience has also strengthened my wish to create a beautiful garden that attracts lots of bees，butterflies，and yes，birds．They are welcome here．
