So in the future,you won't have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. You'll just look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are.

Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat,and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don't agree with them.
Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources (資源) ，we are short of others,for example,fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources,what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. (1) I think we should say "no”to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.
In our everyday life,we can do many things to prevent waste from happening. For example,turn off the water taps when we finish washing,turn off the lights when we leave the classroom,try not to order more food than we need and so on. Little by little,everything will be changed. (2) Waste can be stopped one day,if we do our best.

It was two months before Christmas when nine-year-old Almie Rose told her father and me that she wanted a new bike. Her Barbi bike was just too old,and it needed repairing as well.
As Christmas came nearer,her dream for a bike seemed to disappear,for she didn't mention it again. We were busy buying some beautiful story books,a doll house,a holiday dress and some toys. Then much to our surprise,on December 24,she said she really wanted a bike more than anything else.
Now we didn't know what to do. It was just too late. We were busy with Christmas dinner and packing children's presents,parents' presents,a brother's present and friends' presents till midnight. So there was no time to take to buy the "right bike" for our little girl. Thinking that we were parents who would make their child unhappy,we felt guilty and sad.
Suddenly my husband came up with an idea. "What if I make a little bike out of clay (泥土) and write a note that she could trade in (交換) the model bike for a real one?" So he spent the next five hours carefully working with clay to make a small bike.
On Christmas morning,we were so excited for Almie Rose to open the little box with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. She opened and read the note loudly. She looked at me and Ron and said, "So,does this mean I can trade in this bike for a real one?" Smiling,I said, "Yes. " Almie Rose had tears in her eyes when she replied, "/would never trade in this beautiful bike that Daddy made me. I prefer to keep it rather than get a real bike."
