Have you ever stayed in a hotel? Most Chinese hotels often provide guests with things like disposable (一次性的) toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers. Many guests like the idea because they don’t have to bring their own. But if you travel to Beijing, remember to bring your own things. Starting from June, some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposable things. They want to ask people to use less disposable things.
Many disposable things are made of plastic. People throw them away after only using them once. It is a waste of natural resources and is very bad for the environment. Do you know, one Chinese makes an much as 400 kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things. In Beijing, people throw away about 19000 tons of plastic bags and 1320 tons of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down. So the less plastic we throw out, the better. So wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them again and again.
Back at home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to do these things in your daily life: Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones. After using a plastic bags, wash it out and let it dry. Then you can use it over and over again. Do not use paper cups. At your school dinning hall, use your own bowl and chopstick instead of disposable ones.
To protect our environment and our home, it is very necessary and important for us to save natural resources.

Do you have a good sleep at night? If you are having trouble sleeping, or you want to sleep better during the night, these below can help you out.
If you are under too much pressure(压力), you don’t have to think too much before going to sleep. You just need to take ten to fifteen minutes to relax. You may listen to some light music, or do some breathing exercises. Just make yourself calm down.
If you find yourself waking up during the night, don't worry about it. Don’t look at the clock to see what time it is. You’d better do nothing. The best thing to do is to just lie there and to have some soothing（舒缓的）thoughts. The key is to get back to sleep as quickly as possible. If you have been lying there for 15 minutes and
can’t fall asleep, you should get up out of bed, try not to turn on any bright lights, and go into another room. Once you are in another room, you should do something that relaxes yourself. Only when you feel yourself getting sleepy should you go back into your room.
Taking a nap (打盹儿) is also going to help you get better sleep at night. But you’d better not take a nap too close to bed time. Especially, you would nap at least 5 hours before going to bed. A 20-minute nap is enough. You can try all of them or just one, then you will be sleeping like a baby.

When an object (物体) is not moving, it is at rest. ①It will stay that way unless something makes it move. The power that makes other objects move is called a force. A force can be a push or a pull. It changes the object’s position.
When a force moves an object away from it, that is called a push. When a force moves an object towards it, that is called a pull. You can use the pushes and pulls to move objects.
A soccer player sees the ball coming towards him. ②He can use a push to make it go where he wants it to go. In the case, the push is a kick. A little girl wants to give her toy a ride in her little red car. She uses a pull to make the car move along after her.
Every push and pull takes energy. The amount of energy and strength you need to move an object depends on how big the object is. Small objects only need a small force to move them.

The object ______ change the position ______ something makes it move.

An excellent way to help memory is to connect information with pictures. Try to see the pictures in your mind. Taking notes and keeping a diary will also be helpful.
Healthy food and plenty of vitamins are necessary for your memory to work well. Drinking a lot of water also helps keep your memory. You must allow your brain to have enough sleep and rest.

Is it a proper way to study in the 10-minute break?
Many students like to study in the 10-minute break. Is it a proper way? Students from Class2 Grade3 had a discussion about it. Here are the results.
Some students think it’s a good way to improve their studies. Because they believe practice makes perfect. If they make good use of their time, they could finish homework as quickly as they could. And then, they have enough time to consolidate what they have learnt.
But some students think differently. In their opinion, they think if they don’t have a rest after class, they may become short-sighted easily. And they don’t want to lose the chance to communicate with others. What’s more, they want to get prepared for next class during the break.
All in all, I think students should have a rest in 10-minute break. It’s good not only for their studies but also for their health.。
