You might have read a lot about the ways people are fighting against global warming to save our Earth. Now a school in Chhattisgarh, India, has come up with a unique idea.
Instead of asking for school fees, the school is asking parents to simply plant a tree sapling in the village. It has also been made clear that parents have to take care of the plant and if it dies, they have to plant another tree in its place. The idea was put into practice by a group of local professionals and businessmen. It is meant to do good things to parents who don’t have enough money to send their children to school. So far, the school has received an overwhelming response---700 saplings have been planted across the village.
This is just one small step in a village in India, but if the approach(措施)works, it could be something that other schools would follow.“we have provided parents with the seeds and the materials needed to nurture the saplings,” said one school official.“we hope that this initiative(倡议) will not only keep our students learning, but also help educate the next generation on the importance of environmental care.”
Tell whether the statement is true or false.5%
1. People are fighting against global warming to save the Earth in many ways around the world.
2. If the parents can’t pay for the school fees for school, they can plant a tree sapling in the village according to the special school in Chhattisgarh.
3. The parents don’t need to look after the plant after they plant them.
4. The people in that village like this way to pay for the school very much.
5. The parents should buy the seeds by themselves to plant the tree sapling.

Winter may be over, but a group of children in Beijing is still playing, and learning, a unique winter sport. They are dressed for battle. They hold curved(弯曲旳) wooden sticks in their hands and wear thick-padded(厚垫肩旳) coats, helmets and ice skates. They are here to conquer the ice. They slip. They glide(滑行). They often fall down. But they never let the ice get the better of them. What they are doing is taking up the sport of ice hockey---out of curiosity and pride after Beijing was picked to host the 2022 Winter Olympics.
Ice hockey isn’t as a strength in Chinese sports history and doesn’t have wide popularity across the country. In the past, ice hockey was mostly popular in northeast China. Only big cities in the three provinces in northeast China have their own ice hockey teams.
But now, Beijing, as the host city of the 2022 Winter Olympics, has been actively working on the promotion(推广,增进) of winter sports including ice hockey in recent years. A total of 15 ice hockey clubs and 116 youth ice hockey teams (with nearly 2,000 players) have been set up in the city so far. Some schools have even been identified as winter sports special schools. Their students are given the opportunity to learn to skate in P.E. Classes.
“ I believe with the coming of 2022, more and more kids in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen will take up ice hockey. It is not only because of the Winter Olympics, but also the attraction of the sport itself; it draws people to play it and enjoy it,” says a former player from the China national ice hockey team.

For one little boy, it was the coldest winter because his fatherlost a leg in an accident. The family no longer had money to live on. From then on, his father became another person. He would be very angry if the boy didn’t listen to him.
One night, when the boy walked alone on the street, he saw some beautiful boxes of coffee in a lovely shop. He knew his father loved coffee and he also knew stealing was no good. But all he could think of was his father’s smile. He soon put a box of coffee into his jacket and ran back home.
When his father saw the coffee, the boy got a smile that he has missed for so long. But before his father could taste it, the shop keeper came and caught the boy. He was beaten by his father.
Years later, the boy became a successful businessman. One day, his mother called him and said his father wanted to see him. Busy at work, he received a relic(遗物) from his father. It was a box. Inside it was the coffee that he had stolen from the shop. There was also a letter: "Dear son. I am a failure as a father. But I have a dream - to own a coffee shop, where I can make cups of coffee for you.”
