Our Earth is welcoming a great day soon. April 22nd is Earth Day. It’s a day for us to take care of the Earth. So what can we do to help? Around the world, many cities and countries find ways to make themselves green.
Chicago is famous for its green roofs(屋顶). There are plants on these roofs. These plants can keep much rainwater. Later, the water goes back to the air to make the city cool and clean.
Singapore City is home to the first zero-energy (能量) building in Southeast Asia. Zero energy means the energy which a building makes can’t be used up (被用光).
Curitiba, Brazil, has buses called BRT. BRT runs on special lanes (车道) so it will always be on time, even there is lots of traffic. Thanks to BRT, the air in the city is very clean. Today, many other countries have BRT, such as China and Mexico.

Very often, new-born babies are not beautiful. They are wrinkled(多皱的)or
hairless, or they have an angry look on their faces. They seem to say, “Get away!
I hate everybody.” But to a parent, that hairless, wrinkled, angry-faced baby is the
most beautiful and perfect child in the world. When that proud(骄傲的) father or mother
asks you, “Well, what do you think of my baby? Isn’t she beautiful?” what are you going to say? Is the time for the truth? Of course not!
You look that proud father in the eye and say, “Yes, she is! She’s really a beauty. She’s one in a million. She’s going to be a movie star! I can tell! She’s as beautiful as a picture.”
In English, this is a white lie. White lies don’t hurt people. They are not cruel(残忍的)or angry words. People use them to make a difficult thing a little easier.
