June 5 is World Environment Day. Nowadays more and more people are trying different kinds of ways to face environmental problems around the world. What are people doing to protect our home—the earth?

Most people are changing their shopping habits. On the one hand, secondhand clothes may be a smart choice. People are willing to buy the secondhand ones to wear in special situations because they only wear them once or twice. On the other hand, there are some companies for renting (租) clothes and renting clothes is cheaper than buying them. So people are able to save money and protect the environment.

Several large companies have begun developing paper bottles to take the place of glass and plastic ones because there are lots of customers worrying about the environment. They think paper bottles have many advantages. The most important is that paper bottles are easy to recycle and weigh less than glass or plastic ones as well.

A zero-waste life is that people hardly create any rubbish. A zero-waste theme store provides a number of everyday, practical and pleasant zero-waste products. The store helps people start on a one-stop, zero-waste life journey. A zero-waste life follows the 6R principle (原则) —Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recycle and Rot.

All in all, the earth is our home and it’s our duty to protect it.

61． ( put ) the App in “teen mode (模式) ” every time you begin to use Apps like QQ or Tiktok. A lot of Apps, especially video Apps, have added this feature (功能) to protect teenagers. It’s said that it will bring teenagers
62． ( good ) experiences than before and make sure they’re using the Apps in a healthier way. For example, Apps like Tiktok have the feature to prevent teenagers from watching videos for long and with the feature, they might only be allowed
63． (watch) for 40 minutes. The videos that teenagers can watch are made sure to be safe and even educational. There are no advertisements and teenagers cannot pay any m
64． for the videos. In QQ’s teen mode, teenagers can only talk to people on their contact lists.

However, the teen mode does not work for all Apps, a
66． to a recent report by the National Consumer Council. There aren’t any

69． clicking (点击) “I know” and continue watching.

Though you can learn a lot from short videos, it’s n

Once there were four beggars (乞丐). One day, they met at an old temple at night. They were very upset because none of them had much to eat.

“I only got this piece of meat today.” the first said. “I almost got nothing,” the second said, “I just picked up a potato outside the vegetable store during the day.” The third said that all he had was a small bottle of salt. The fourth beggar had not done much better, “I only got some old beans, but they aren’t very mice!”

As they sat around the fire, the beggar with only a bottle of salt had a great idea “Let’s put all our things together and boil them. In this way, we can make a tasty dish and share it.” They all agreed. However, the first beggar thought, “I don’t want to share. I’ll just pretend to throw my meat into the pot. They’ll never know and I’ll eat my meat alone later.” So he pretended to put the meat into the pot. And at the same time the other beggars had similar ideas to him. At that time, the temple was too dark for the beggars to see what the others were doing.

Finally, one of them suggested that the dish should be ready and, in turn, each of them helped himself to it. They drank the hot water in silence, learning that selfishness (自私) doesn’t taste all that good.

The nature is full of mysteries. When autumn arrives in the United States and Canada, you can see one of nature’s, greatest scenes—the yearly migration (迁徙) of the monarch butterflies (帝王蝶).
