Li Siyi, a student from Jinan Foreign Language School, takes up a new habit. She refuses to believe everything that she reads. “Not everything in books is true,” she said.
Many other students in her school think the same thing as Li. They learned this through finding a mistake错误 in their Chinese textbook. They learned a Tang poem唐诗, Ci Beigu Shanxia, last year. There was a picture that showed a boat in full sail（船帆）on a river. “But according to（根据）the famous line from the poem, feng zheng yifan xuan, the sail shouldn’t be spread（展开）,” said Zhang Jiayi, Li’s classmate.
To get the right answer, the students turned to their Chinese teacher, Liu Yan. Liu and the students looked up books, searched on the Internet and made sure that the People’s Education Press（人民教育出版社）had really made a mistake about the picture.
The students wrote a letter to them about the mistake. “I think my students did a right thing but I never expected a reply,” said Liu. “I took it as a way of letting them know the importance of spirit（精神）of questioning.”
To their surprise, one month later, they got the reply from Gu Zhenbiao, the expert of Chinese textbooks in middle schools. Gu said sorry for the mistake and he also said he really thinks the students are very great.
When Liu read the letter loudly to all the students, everyone was excited. “We are very happy we have our own ideas!” said Li.

In most parts of the world, many students help their schools make less pollution. They join an “environment club”. In an environment club, people work together to make our environment clean. Here are some things students often do.
No–garbage（垃圾）lunches. How much do you throw away after lunch? Environment clubs ask students to bring their lunches in bags that can be used again. Every week they will choose the classes that make the least garbage and report them to the whole school.
No–car day. On a no-car day, nobody comes to school in a car---not the students and not the teachers. Cars give pollution to our air, so remember: walk, jump, run, or bike! Use your legs! It’s lots of fun!
Turn off the water! Did you know that toilets厕所 can waste twenty to forty tons（吨）of water an hour? In a year, that would fill a small river! In the environment clubs, students fix（修理）those broken toilets.
