As decision – makers from around the world met in Milan, children made a symbolic journey to COP9（联合国气候变化框架公约第九次约方大会）to let the experts know their views about care for the climate and the environment.
Tens of thousands of children ,from Europe and beyond, have taken part in the ZOOM Campaign over the last six months, with primary schools and kindergartens holding activity weeks for four to ten – year – olds, to focus on the theme of sustainable transport.
The children collected “green footprints”by making their everyday journeys to school or home on foot, by bike, or using other means of sustainable transport. Organizers originally set a target of 28,20+ footprints – enough to cover the distance from the European Union headquarters in Brussels to Kyoto in Japan, and back again to Milan. But by the time the footprints were delivered to participants at COP9 in December, the total had reached 544,008 – enough to go round the world 13 times – and more were still arriving.
Schools signed up to campaign online and received a toolkit of materials（材料包）, translated into eight languages. “Transport and climate change are very important issues for many countries, and people from all over the world got interested, ” explained ZOOM coordinator Claudia Schury. “There was a lot of interest from Eastern Europe, and this is something we want to develop in the future. Many countries asked us to continue the campaign.”
In Milan, to mark the closing of COP9, more than 200 children from Italy and Austria met and talked to Artur Runge – Metzger, head of the DG Environment Climate Change and Energy Unit, and to their own national representatives.

Janice Fialka showed a new documentary（记录片）about her cognitively（认知地）disabled son at schools across the country. Everyone seemed to enjoy it, but one comment from a teacher proved to Fialka her family’s investment was a success. “In Baltimore an early childhood teacher came up and said ‘I have to apologize to the family of a 4 – year – old with Down Syndrome（先天愚型）’” Fialka said. “She said ‘I told them to be more realistic about their dreams for him. Now I have to tell them I’m sorry.’”
The story of Micah Fialka – Feldman, a 22 – year – old Oakland University student, is meant to show parents, educators and the disabled anything is possible. Micah wrote in an essay titled “I wanted to go to college and my dream came true.”A lot of people didn’t think he could go to college, but because family and friends believed in him he learned how to take public transportation to campus and found teachers who helped him pick the best classes. The title of the film “Through the same door ”came from a day when Micah, who was admitted to a first grade special education program, told his parents he wanted to walk through the same door as the rest of the kids at his school. It led to him becoming the first student with cognitive disabilities in mainstream classrooms in Berkley.
Though he can’t read or write on his own, Micah reached amazing heights with the help of voice recognition computer software, tutors. At Berkley High School, Micah won the Social Studies Department Award fro civic（公民的）involvement. In 2004 her received the Michigan “Yes, I Can” award fro self – advocacy（自强）. He finished high school in 2003 with a certificate of attendance, and entered Oakland University through the Transitions Program.

Good afternoon, everyone
On the morning of April 29, 2007,from 10:00 to 11:00, hundreds of millions of students from primary, middle schools and universities all over China joined in a national student sports program. Eleven million students in Jiangsu took an active part in this program.
The Ministry of Education calls on students to exercise for an hour every day, in the hope that they will have good health to work fifty years and enjoy the whole life.
Personally, I think it a good idea for us senior 3 students to have daily exercise, Although we take an hour a day for exercise, it is well worth it. Taking exercise helps us build up our body and keep a clear mind. Therefore, we can work more efficiently.
Thank you!（125词）

Not long ago, Charles white and his family decided to do some spring house cleaning. Sorting through their possessions, they came up with some old, unwanted items – chairs, worn rugs, lamps, dishes, books, used clothes and all sorts of other things that one no longer needed. The Whites decided to do what a lot of other Americans are doing these days – have a “Garage Sale”. They posted homemade sings throughout the neighborhood, ran an advertisement in the local newspaper,
then sent out the collection of unwanted objects on the front yard of their suburban home in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, and waited to see if anyone would come. The Whites needn’t have worried. Eager buyers bought all but 50 of the items in one weekend, leaving the family ＄442 richer.
