Richard Campbell is a secondary school student. He is 15 years old. He lives in a small town in the north of England. Every morning, he gets up at eight o'clock, puts on his uniform and walks to school.

One hour later, the lessons start. The students usually study maths, English, history and geography in the morning. They usually study music and drawing and they play sports after lunch. They have a ten-minute break between classes. They also spend a long time in the school library, reading books and doing their homework.

Richard likes his school very much. His favourite subjects are English and geography, but he doesn't like maths because he is not good at it.

Richard and all his friends spend the whole day at school. Lunch is at one o'clock. He doesn't like the food that the school serves. This is why he often brings a packed lunch from home. He always has his lunch in the dining hall, but some of his friends sometimes eat in the courtyard or outside the school gate.

At weekends, he always goes out with his friends because he doesn't go to school. On Saturday, he always goes to the cinema or to the sports centre. On Sunday, he just goes for a walk with his dog.

Everyone may dream at night. Do you always believe your dream? Some dreams make us feel relaxed and happy, while some dreams frighten us. Don't you think so? I even had such an experience.

One day I noticed the brakes (刹车) on my car getting weaker. They still worked but it took longer for my car to stop. I knew I needed new brakes, but I had many other things to do. So I didn't take it seriously.

Then on Christmas Eve, I had an awful dream. I was driving my car on a bright, sunny day when suddenly a truck appeared on the road in front of me. I pushed on my brakes but they didn't work and I hit that truck. The terrible dream woke me up at once and I made up my mind to change my brakes the next day. When the worker took out the old ones, I noticed that they had worn thin.

One day, I was driving home with my daughter beside me and my two sons in the back seat. Suddenly, a truck came from the other direction. It was running too fast and moved two feet over the center line. I hit my brakes and led my car toward the side of the road. We were surprised that the huge truck missed us by only a foot. It was too dangerous.

Later when I lay in my bed, I realized if I didn't get my brakes changed, I couldn't slow down fast enough. My children and I may be hurt or killed. I closed my eyes and gave thanks for that dream.

More than half of the food produced in Canada goes to waste. A shocking new study has shown that the level of food waste is far worse than previously thought, at 58%. Of that, about 85% of food waste is due to food processors. This differs from earlier studies, which criticized families for driving food waste and said they were responsible for 51% of food waste.

The study was carried out by Martin Hooch, the leading expert on food waste and the author of several previous studies on the subject. Reflecting on the study's findings, Hooch said, "It means stopping criticizing consumers. Sure, consumers are part of the problem, but they're not the problem."

In the past, Hooch didn't master good data, particularly from the private factories, but relied on numbers collected by the food industry for purposes other than tracking(追踪) waste. This time, however, Hooch worked directly with companies at all stages along the food production chain and interviewed over 700 experts in the industry. Clearly he found it hard to believe what he was seeing.

This is what they found: Food processing causes 34% of food waste. This is followed by production, which causes 24%. Next is manufacturing at 13%, then hotels and restaurants at 9%. Families cause only 14%, and market sales 6%. This should be a serious wake-up call for Canadians who would do well to examine their own food supply chains. Food waste is costly, not only in terms of dollars wasted, but also in resources like land, water, and so on. To be using these resources and wasting the product is totally irresponsible and unnecessary.

To make matters worse, when food is thrown into rubbish cans, it produces methane, a greenhouse gas 30 times more powerful than carbon dioxide (CO2). At Canada's rate of food waste, that's like adding 12 million cars to the road. It seems that the food industry needs redesigning. Therefore, let's hope the government takes action.

If you feel depressed, it's best to do something about it—depression doesn't just go away on its own. In addition to getting help from a doctor or counselor,.

Exercise.

Take a 15-to-30-minute walk every day—or dance, jog, or bike if you prefer. People who are depressed may not feel much like being active. But make yourself do it anyway. Once you get in the exercise habit, it won't take long to notice a difference in your mood.

Cherish yourself with good nutrition.

Depression can affect appetite. One person may not feel like eating at all, but another might overeat. If depression has affected your eating, you'll need to be extra mindful of getting the right food. . So eat plenty of fruit and vegetables and get regular meals (even if you don't feel hungry, try to eat something light, like a piece of fruit, to keep you going).

Identify troubles.

Try to make out any situations that have contributed to your depression. When you know what's got you feeling blue and why, talk about it with a caring friend. . If there's no one to tell, pouring your heart out to a journal works just as well.

Depression affects a person's thoughts, making everything seem dark, negative, and hopeless. If depression has you noticing only the negative, make an effort to notice the good things in life. Try to notice one thing, and then try to think of one more. Consider your strengths, gifts, or blessings. Most of all, don't forget to be patient with yourself. .

Once upon a time, there was an old man who couldn't read or write. When he was little, his family was so poor that he couldn't attend school. But he always dreamed of being able to read.

One day, he took his seven-year-old grandson to school.

Since he didn't have anything to do that day, he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he stood outside his grandson's classroom and looked in through the window.

The kids' teacher, who was an old man in his fifties, entered the classroom when the class began. The teacher was wearing thick glasses. He started teaching. Through watching him, the old man found something interesting, He noticed that the teacher could read nothing without putting his glasses on. As soon as he put on his glasses, he could read very well.

"How amazing! said the old man to himself.

He waited outside the classroom until the class was over and stopped the teacher.

"Excuse me, sir," said the old man to the teacher.

"Yes?" said the teacher.

"I noticed something amazing. You can't read without the glasses, right?" said the old man.

"Yes, that's true. I can read nothing without them," replied the teacher.

"But you can read once you put them on, can't you?" asked the old man.

"Yes, that's true, too," replied the teacher, wondering why the old man was asking such strange questions.

The teacher looked at the old man, who left in a hurry with a big smile on his face.

The old man, who was extremely happy, decided to go to town to find an eyeglasses store. After being unable to read so many years, he finally found an easy way to read, which cheered him up. He realized what he needed to read was just a pair of glasses.

"I can finally read," said the old man to himself when walking to the town.

Finally, the man arrived at the town. He looked around and soon found a store with glasses in it, The man happily entered the store.

Paragraph 1:

After the old man entered the store, the store owner greeted him.

Paragraph 2:

The store owner, thinking the old man didn't like that pair, picked another pair far him.
