I was happy in those days b 1 I started going to school. Because I had good neighbors
to play with. I played with them from morning t 2 evening. We played games outdoors, dressed
up as cowboys and rode around on our tricycles (三轮车) happily.
A 3 the age of five, I had to go to kindergarten (幼儿园) and it was quite hard for me
at first. I felt very sad about having to l 4 my mother each morning. I cried and wanted my
mother around. As the days went by, however, I made friends easily in my class. I became happy
again and looked f 5 to leaving my house each morning.
I still remember those days when I was l 6 to ride a bicycle. I fell several times but
I n 7
gave up. Finally, I was able to join my friends riding around on my bike.

In the past two days, I’ve been to two very different bookstores. They were both in Beijing,
and both attracted people in their 20s and 30s. So why were they so different? Because one store
was for Chinese people, and one was for Westerners. At the Western bookstore, in Sanlitun, the books put on display in front—the ones expected
to be the most popular—were biographies (传记), books about history, and books about politics
and current (现在的) events. Farther back, there was a big shelf full of novels.
At the Chinese store, at the Beijing airport, there were very few books on history, and books
on politics and current events were even harder to find. There were a few biographies, but they
seemed to be of an instructive (教育性的) nature; almost all of them were about rich people, and
how they got rich. What the store did have was lots and lots of books on how to learn English.
As a Westerner, I found this surprising. The kinds of books I’m used to seeing people read—the
kinds that were at the first store—are the kinds people read to escape (逃脱) their daily
lives. But here most of the books were on how to get rich and how to study English—how to work
better and how to study better.
These Chinese books offered no escape from daily life—only ways to improve it. Perhaps this
is another area where Westerners and Chinese people can learn from each other. We Westerners could
certainly read a bit more for practical purposes (目的). But I also think Chinese people might
benefit (受益) from more of something my teachers always encouraged: Reading for fun.

Some countries are better than others at looking after the environment. In Europe, Germany
and northern European countries work very hard to improve the environment. The people in Germany
put their rubbish into different bags-paper in one bag, plastic in laws that do not allow people
to burn too much coal.
In the 1970s ,as people learned more about environmental problems, the “Green” movement
began and soon spread all over Europe. The “Green” movement tries to get governments to protect
the environment. It collects information about how industry is damaging the environment and tells
