Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you to live a green life.Remember these three words; reduce(减少), reuse and recycle(循环使用).Reduce means" use less". Don't waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think if it is really necessary or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy thing, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.Reuse mean" use again". Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should take care of them so that they will last, and we shouldrepair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag. It's better to use a china cup(瓷杯) and a lunch box because you can use them again.Recycle means" change things into something else". Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it's better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.1.____________2. ____________3. ____________4. ____________5. ____________6. ____________7. ____________8. ____________9. ____________ 10. ____________ 五、词汇运用（10分）1.The women have worked in these______________(工厂) since 1990.2.____________(尽管，即使这样)，it ’s good to see the amazing things in the town. 3.She bought a lot of presents for our _____________(亲戚) and her friends. 4.How did you keep in _____________(接触) with each other at primary school? 5.
