My name is Han Mei. I'm a Chinese girl. I'm 14 years old. Now I am studying at No. 1 High School.
Our school is very big and nice! There are six buildings in it. The classroom building is in the center of our school. The playground is on the right. Every day many students do sports on the playground. The library is at the back of our school. Students can read books there after school. They can borrow some books, too. It's a nice place to study. You can see a swimming pool near (在……附近) the school gate. Many students like swimming in it. Look! They are swimming now.
I love my school!

These days we notice the rubbish bins (垃圾箱) are in different colors on the street. The bins are in different colors because they can help people sort the waste. When we throw away rubbish, we should know which bin we should choose first.
Some of us might find it hard to choose the correct bin. However, it's actually quite important to know how to sort your rubbish. If we don't know how to sort rubbish, it can be harder to save energy and protect the environment. If we don't sort our rubbish, cleaners will bury (埋) all the rubbish together. It takes up large areas of ground that can be used for planting trees.
Shanghai is the first city to put rubbish-sorting into practice in China. Shanghai government asks the people to sort rubbish into four kinds. They are wet, recyclable, harmful and dry.
Wet rubbish is the rubbish that people produce after they eat or drink. Paper, metal, glass and other things that can be reused are called recyclable rubbish. Harmful rubbish includes things like medicine, batteries (电池) and so on. Finally, any rubbish that is not wet, recyclable or harmful will go in the dry rubbish bin.
Many Chinese big cities plan to put rubbish-sorting (垃圾分类) into practice. Now that you know this, perhaps you can take part in sorting the rubbish.
— ________, although I'm bored with so many orders from them.

During his life Dr James Naismith worked as a doctor, taught P.E and wrote several books. While he never thought it very important, Dr Naismith is today best known for one thing. He was the inventor of basketball.
Dr James Naismith was born in Canada in 1861 and his first job was at a special sports school in the USA. One day the school principal told James he was having a problem with the students. Because of heavy snow, the students could not go outside. He told James that they needed a sport the boys could play indoors and gave the teacher two weeks to think of something.
It was on the very last day that James came up with his idea. The “birth of basketball” is said to be on December 21, 1891, when two teams from the school played the first game. It was quite different from the basketball games of today. It had 9 players on each team and footballs were used instead of basketballs. Soon after, the game changed to 5 players on each side, using special “basketballs” through nets.
Although Dr Naismith did not live to see basketball become the worldwide game it is today, in 1936, just three years before his death, basketball became an Olympic sport at the games in Berlin.
