Chicken Beat

Betty was the tallest kid at school. But the kids in her class made up silly chants (调侃) to her. They were always chanting, "Betty, Betty, long as spaghetti!"

Ella, Betty's classmate, was a cool kid. She could play the guitar really well. Wherever Ella went, other cool kids followed her. Ella didn't really like it when the kids chanted to Betty. But she never told them to stop because she liked being one of the "Cool Kids".

One weekend, Ella went to see her grandfather. Ella saw one chicken in a corner. It was weaker than the others and it didn't have many feathers. She asked her grandfather what was wrong. Her grandfather told Ella that if one chicken was different, the others would keep pecking(啄) it until it died.

On hearing that, Ella picked up the chicken. She could feel its heart beating so fast in its little body. She took it home without thinking twice.

The next day Ella saw Betty sitting by herself. "I'm going to talk to Betty." she said.

"Spaghetti?" a kid said. "Why her?"

Ella didn't answer but came to Betty. "You can play the drums and I can play the guitar," Ella said. "We should start a band."

"Sounds great!" said Betty. "What should we name it?"

"Chicken Beat," said Ella.

Later, Chicken Beat was such a fantastic band that it won every competition. No one made up silly chants anymore. At the same time, Ella's chicken grew into a beautiful hen, with long legs and soft feathers. She called it Betty as well.

Most of your textbooks are single-use. After graduating, old textbooks are thrown away, which is a big waste of money and paper.

Many countries already reuse their textbooks. In the US, book companies will come to schools and buy used books. They then resell them to new students the following year at a lower price. A high school textbook in the US can have up to eight owners before it is no longer in a good enough condition to be used, according to Xinhua. The book can then be recycled.

In China, according to the National Press and Publication Administration, students across the country buy 2.8 billion new textbooks every year. If the students of the following year could reuse these textbooks, it would save over 20 billion yuan each year. That's enough money to build 40,000 primary schools, China Daily noted.

Primary and junior high school students in several Chinese cities are reusing music, arts, science and IT textbooks. That's because students don't have to take down many notes in their textbooks for these subjects, which makes them suitable for reusing.

However,these booksonly account for a tiny part of the total number of textbooks. As there is no good way for redistributing(再分配) second-hand textbooks, most textbooks still end up as waste, the Paper reported.

Changes in curricula (课程) also make it hard to reuse textbooks. "I'm among the first group of students to take classes after the recent curricular reform (改革), so I have to buy new textbooks that previous (之前的) students didn't use," Sun Run, a high school student from Hangzhou.

Though China has met difficulties on the way to reusing textbooks, the government need to do something to push the second-hand textbook business in the schools. We should go ahead with the project for the future development.
