Many people like to go to amusement parks to have fun, but I don’t! Last year,

a group of my friends decided to spend a whole 11 at an amusement park in my city. I thought I would have fun, but I was wrong. I had the 12 time ever.

15 I started feeling really sick. I 16 threw up (呕吐) on the last coaster.

My friends decided that we needed a lunch break to help me 17 the whole day. My stomach was 18 feeling terrible, but they insisted that I should eat if I was going to have enough 19 for the rest of the day. I spent six dollars on a large order of fries. I picked up the saltshaker (小盐瓶), and to my 20 the top fell off, leaving all the salt on my food. My fries were ruined!

By now I was really 21 and my face was red, so my friends suggested we go on a water ride so that I could cool down. I thought it was a good idea, but when we rode it, I forgot to 22 my glasses. At one point, my poor glasses fell off and into the water. I watched helplessly as 23 sank to the bottom. I had to go through the rest of the day almost 24 .

I have decided that I will never go to amusement parks again, 25 someone offered me a million dollars to do it!

Best known as an author of fairy tales (童话), Hans Christian Andersen (1805—1875) wrote such children’s stories as The Ugly Duckling, The Little

Mermaid, and The Emperor’s New Clothes. However, he was also an actor, a singer, and an artist. As an artist, he was particularly good at paper cutting.

Andersen had many reasons for making his paper cuttings, but the main one was to give pleasure. Andersen loved to tell his interesting stories to anyone who would listen. As he spoke, he would take out his scissors (剪刀) and make a wonderful paper cutting to help his words.

He also found that his paper cuttings helped with a better communication between himself and others. Although a shy man, he still loved to tell his stories face to face with his listeners. His stories and paper cuttings helped him to communicate when he would have otherwise felt uncomfortable.

The paper cuttings also became great gifts for friends and families. He would give his cuttings not only to children but also to grown-ups. When his writing became famous, these gifts were even more valued.

Now more than 100 years old, many of Andersen’s fine paper cuttings still exist in a museum in Denmark devoted to his works. While Andersen will always be remembered for his fairy tales, his beautiful works of art also remain for all to enjoy.

Going Zero Waste means more than dealing with the rubbish we create. It means reducing it, too. People who go Zero Waste are careful about what they do. They never take more than they need, they reuse plastic bags, and they make good plans not to buy more than necessary before going shopping.

Kamikatsu, a Japanese village, has already gone Zero Waste. The 2,000 villagers

recycle (循环利用) everything possible. There are 34 different boxes at the recycling center! The villagers sometimes just feel unhappy about what they have to do, but they also see the good side.

Let’s think about how to enjoy a Zero Waste Christmas. By sending recyclable cards, we can help our friends and family reduce waste. And wouldn’t it be better to enjoy the spirit of Christmas with a real tree that can be re-planted in spring?

Going Zero Waste requires us to think more about what happens before and after we act. It is not always easy. But just think how good it would be, both for ourselves and for the environment, if we never had to waste anything.
