One Thursday afternoon, when I was in Grade 8, a new boy came into my classroom. He was short and thin. He walked up to the teacher and told her, very seriously（紧张）, that he was new. His name was Christian. He sat down, took a look at me, and then looked away.

I didn’t think he was very nice and I was sure he wasn’t the type I would like to become friends with.

During that year, I didn’t talk to him much, but he smiled at me when our eyes met, always shyly. He never ate lunch with anybody, and he never talked to anybody but me. But one day I joined those unkind kids mak ing fun of him. We made fun of him though （虽然）I thought it was wrong.

“Don’t you have any friends?”a kid asked Christian, who walked past us alone, head down. “No, he doesn’t have any friends. He’s too stupid and shy，”I said. Then Christian looked up at me with the saddest dog eyes . I felt very sorry at that moment.

That night, I couldn’t sleep because I couldn’t get Christian’s face out of my mind. In the following weeks , he never met my eyes in class and never smiled at me. It was really hard for me to decide to write him a note asking him to forgive(原谅) me. But I thought I should.

The next day in class, I wrote him a note telling him how sorry I felt. About five minutes later, I turned and saw tears in his eyes. “You will never know what your apology(道歉) means to me, Jimmy.” he said to me. “I hope we can become friends.”

We had lunch together that noon and we had the best talk . Over the years at high school, we were close friends.

When I think back, I know that, if I did not ap ologize, I would never know what a lovely person Christian was.

Apologies can really change your life, so never miss the chance to tell somebody you are sorry.

Almost every Chinese person know the two lines of the famous poem, “Every grain on the plate comes from hard work(谁知盘中餐，粒粒皆辛苦).” However, many of us don’t actually get the real meaning of these lines: Don’t waste food.

A CCTV program, News One Plus One, reported that the food Chinese people throw away every year is much enough to feed 200 million people for a year.

Do we have too much food? Of course not. According to the UN World Food Program, there were 925 million hungry people around the world in 2013, especially in developing countries.

Six million children die of hunger every year.

Chinese people are well known for being hospitable(好客的) and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests eat all the food on the table.

Luckily, a number of people have realized the importance of saving food. Last November, Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant in Nanjing, lost the job because she took some left food home for her son. But many people stood by her.

What should we do in our daily lives to waste less food? Here are some tips:

●Do not order too much in a restaurant. Only order as much as you want to eat. If you can’t

eat up all the food, take the rest of it home.

●Don’t be too picky(挑剔的) about food. Some food may not taste great, but your bodyneeds

it.

● Keep an e ye on what food you have at home. Don’t buy too much, especially for vegetables

and fruit.

The haze（雾霾）season is back. How much do you know about haze? Haze can also be called “Smog”. The word "smog" is from the words “smoke” and “fog”, It first appeared in the early 20th century. It is a kind of air pollution（污染）caused（导致）mostly by cars and factories.

Smog will do great harm（伤害）to your health, especially lungs（肺）.It can make you cough and cause skin and eye problems. It seems that we can do nothing to stop it, but only wait until the wind blows all the smog away. However, there are some easy ways to prevent it hurting you. Here are some of them.

1. Don’t do exercise in the open.

Exercising in the open makes you breathe（呼吸）deeply, and you will take in the particles （颗粒物）deep into your lungs.

2. Stay indoors and keep the air clean.

If you can, just stay in your room and keep the doors and windows closed. Remember to air your room twice a day, you can open the window at noon or at night for half an hour.

3. Wear a mask.

Paper and cotton masks can not help you in the haze weather. Some special masks, such as N95 masks, can keep you from breathing in the particles in the air.

4. Change your diet.

Scientists find that vitamin A, C and E can greatly help protect your eyes, nose and lungs. So eat more green vegetables and fresh fruit everyday. What’s more, do not eat food with too much fat（脂肪），it’s bad for your lungs.

shrimps and so on.Dolphins are clever, friendly and quiet. And they never hurt humans.

Instead, they often help people in danger.

Sadly, some people even hunt them for fun. I think dolphins are our friends. We should take

action to protect them.
