Looking for a new way to raise money for charity (慈善) ?Has your school run out of clever and fun ideas? Don’t give up. There are several ways to support your favorite charity.
How about organizing a car wash? Everybody who has a car sooner or later washes it or has it washed. So why don't you and your classmates do the job? The money the car owners pay for having their cars washed will go towards your charity. When we did it we had an amazing time! At first some of us were worried about getting wet or dirty and it's true. But we also had fun and at the end of the day it was really worth it!
On the other hand if you don't feel like getting wet or messy but have some musical talent how about organizing a street concert? Street musicians can make a lot of money and so can you if you’ve got the talent and courage it takes to play in front of an audience. You just need to find a suitable place practice for a few hours with your friends first and give it a try!
I hope the above ideas have helped you a bit and if you’ve got any other great suggestions we would love to hear them and practice them too. Good luck!

Why is clean water important to developing countries? A recent report shows that about 80 percent of diseases in developing countries are caused by poor water and low sanitation（卫生）conditions. In those countries, women and girls spend several hours collecting water, but often polluted, far away from their families. The polluted water more or less influences their health. In this case, there is an urgent（迫切的）need for people in developing countries to have access to（有机会或权利使用）clean water to improve their health.
Here is a short story about Hadjara Zakari, a 12-year-old girl in Niger. Having access to clean water changed her life. She learned about the importance of hand-washing when the school first received clean water three years ago. That evening, she told her father, “You shouldn’t eat with me unless you clean your hands.” Her father was very angry and shouted at her, “It’s not up to you to tell me what to do!” Stunned（目瞪口呆的）, Hadjara sat in silence. But she knew she was right. In protest, Hadjara refused to eat dinner that night. After her father questioned Hadjara’s head teacher, he understood the importance of hand-washing and his daughter’s intentions（目的）. The girl really wanted her family to live longer and healthier lives.
For people in developing countries, clean water can change many things, especially improve their health. So, from now on, let’s avoid wasting water and take action to save water, which is important to people all over the world.

Children in England will no longer be able to buy energy drinks. The UK government has made plans to ban (禁止) the sale of energy drinks to kids. It is now asking for public suggestions as to what age the ban should start at (16 or 18), the BBC reported.
An energy drink is a type of drink that contains stimulants (兴奋剂), such as caffeine (咖啡因). Red Bull is one of the most famous energy drinks. The makers of these drinks say that they can give you energy when you feel tired.
However, these drinks have very high levels of caffeine. Too much caffeine can lead to health problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness. A 250 ml can of Red Bull contains about 80 mg of caffeine, three times the level of a can of Coca-Cola, the Guardian noted.
Energy drinks have 65 percent more sugar than normal soft drinks. This may explain why obesity (肥胖) rates have risen among children.
In the UK, more than two-thirds of 10 to 17-year-olds buy energy drinks, according to government data. “Childhood obesity is one of the greatest health challenges this country faces. It is important that we do all we can to make sure children have the best start in life,” UK Prime Minister Theresa May said in a statement.
The ban would apply to (应用于) drinks containing more than 150 mg of caffeine per liter. Under the ban, shops in England that sell the drinks to children would face fines (罚款) of up to ￡2,500 (22,070 yuan).
1.What is an energy drink?
_____________________________________________________________________________
2.How many fines would shops in England face if they sell energy drinks to kids?

3.Will you go on drinking energy drinks since China doesn’t ban the sale of energy drinks to kids? Why?
