Tangchang,a town in Chengdu,is well﹣known for cloth shoes.With over 20 types,Tangchang cloth shoes are strong,comfortable,breathable and friendly to the environment.In 2018,they were added to Sichuan's intangible cultural heritage list(非物质文化遗产名录).

Lai's hard work touched her son Ai Peng.In 2015,Ai decided to leave his job and help his mother.He used Shu embroidery to make the shoes look more beautiful and opened a cloth shoe store online.He also set up shop windows to show the steps of making shoes,helping more people learn about the art of cloth shoes.

The world uses about a thousand million (百万) tons of water a day. Water is a human right and everyone should have their share. Yet more than 700 million people around the world have trouble getting clean, safe water.

But now we have got the technology to treat and reuse the wastewater.
While 75% of our planet is covered with water, only about 2% is fresh water﹣that comes from rivers, lakes, ice and snow. The rest, 98% of the water, is in seas and oceans. It is too salty to drink. Then desalinationbusinesses come in. More than 19.000 factories have been built around the world, mostly in coastal countries. They process(加工) more than 92 million tons of water every day. But the technology they use requires a lot of energy.
Scientists are working to create a less costly technology. They want to produce 20 times more clean water and make sure everyone has enough. But for now, the world still faces each day with not having enough water for everyone.

We often face the following situations in our daily life:

•The family across the street never cleans up their yard.The rubbish blows into your yard.

When you move towards your neighbors,you should talk to them in a friendly manner.Praise their children to make them feel good.Then explain the situation.And if you can think of a simple way to solve the problem,suggest it.
If talking doesn't work,ask another person to help,This person can listen to both sides of the story and help you and your neighbor solve the situation.
