15．Talking about the future
　　What will the future be like? There may be many new achievements in science and technology. Maybe our planet will become difficult to live on. Maybe human life will become very convenient. As for future life, everyone has his own ideas. Here are some of my ideas about the future.
　　I think three things can sum up my ideas. The first is clean energy. We will have more and more clean energy. The pollution will be reduced. The second is artificial intelligence. Robots have already played an important part in our life. In the future, robots will take the place of many workers. But everything has two sides. If robots take the place of many workers, many people will be jobless. It's not good. And the third is traffic. We will have fast transportation. The traffic will be quicker. I hope there will be more ways to deal with current traffic problems.
　　I have my own ideas about my future life. I think I will have a simpler life. I believe that I will live in a comfortable and quiet house with my family. What's more, I will not need to worry about my parents' health because everyone can live long.

16．　　A young couple moved into a new neighborhood. The next morning, while they were eating breakfast, the young wife saw her neighbor hang the wash outside.
　　"That laundry (洗好的衣服) isn't very clean," she said to her husband. "The neighbor doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap."
　　Her husband looked on, but said nothing.
　　Every time her neighbor hung her laundry to dry, the young woman would make the same comments (评论).
　　About one month later, the young woman was surprised to see nice clean laundry on her neighbor's clothes line and said to her husband, "Look! She has learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this!"
　　The husband said, "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows!"
　　When we see others through the window, we should make sure that our window is clean and clear. Or our opinions may be wrong. Before we criticize (批评) others, we should think about their advantages instead of looking for their disadvantages.

17．　　How green are you?Do you know how to be green?Here are some ideas for you.
　　Reduce
　　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 whether it is really necessary — or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.
　　Reuse
　　Reuse means "use again". Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should look after them so that they will last, and we should repair 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 and a lunch box because you can use them again.
　　Recycle
　　Recycle means "change things into something else". Find out what can be recycled in your neighborhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.
　　So please remember these three words:reduce, reuse and recycle.

18．　　Last summer, I didn't want to go to school any more because I was disappointed with my test scores. I found a job during my summer vacation. Since I didn't have many work skills, the manager just asked me to send newspapers.
　　At the beginning, I took it for granted (认为……理所应当) that it would be a piece of cake. However, to my surprise, when I went to people's houses, they started to look me up and down. I could feel that they looked down on me. I was deeply hurt and felt sad. Then I went to one house where a black dog jumped out at me. I was so afraid that I shouted, but no one came to my help. At that time, I realized that delivering (投递) newspapers was a lot more difficult than reading a book in a classroom. I thought about giving up, but I didn't. I tried my best to do the job better. Although I was very tired, I got better at the job after some time.
　　From this experience, I have learned that if we put our heart into what we are doing, nothing is impossible.
　　Now, I am sitting in a classroom and working harder than ever before. But I trust myself and feel happier. As long as I don't lose heart and work harder, I will make more progress.

19．　　In an English class, a teacher took a very big bottle and put a few big stones into it. He asked the students, "Is the bottle full?"
　　They all answered, "Yes!"
　　The teacher then put some small stones into the bottle. The small stones were between the big stones. He then asked, "Is it full now?"
　　Some students gave no answer, but most answered, "Yes!"
　　The teacher then started to put some sand into the bottle. For the third time, the teacher asked, "Is it full?"
　　Now most students gave no answer, but some still answered, "Yes!"
　　Then the teacher poured a cup of water into the bottle, "What does it tell us?" asked the teacher.
　　One smart student answered, "No matter how busy you are, you can always find time to do some more thing."
　　"No," said the teacher. "If you don't put the big stones into the bottle first, you can never get them in. The big stones are the most important things in your life. If you fill your life with small things like small stones, sand and water, you'll never have the time for the most important things. "
