Kevin loves to read mystery books. He likes to try to solve the mystery himself. He also likes solving problems. Kevin can usually solve any mystery or problem.
One day Kevin's mom was trying to find her glasses. Without her glasses, she could not drive. This was a problem because she was going to drive Kevin to his friend's house. It was also a mystery. Kevin really wanted to solve it.
"Where do you last remember seeing your glasses?" he asked his mom.
"I had them on while I was watching the news this morning," she said.
"Where were you watching the news?" asked Kevin.
His mom thought for a minute, and then she answered that she was in the living room.
She remembered sitting in her favorite chair and taking off her glasses when the news ended. She thought she put her glasses on the table, but they weren't there.
Kevin had his mom describe everything she remembered doing during the day. She mentioned watching the news, making breakfast, working in her home office and then gardening. It was after gardening that she started looking for her glasses.
After hearing about his mom's day, Kevin began to take action. He looked under her favorite chair, in the kitchen, in her office and around the garden. He didn't find her glasses.
Kevin doesn't give up easily, so he looked in each place again and he looked even harder. It was on his second go around of the kitchen that he opened the cabinets (储藏柜). He found his mom's glasses in the drawer (抽屉).
"Thank you, Kevin," said his mom. "I wouldn't be able to see anything without you."

Learning about the environment is very important. There are many good books that will help you learn. To get started, ask your teacher or a librarian for some suggestions. You can also look at some good websites with information about the environment and climate change. Climate change may be a big problem, but there are many little things we can do to make a difference.
Driving a car or using electricity is not wrong. We just have to be smart about it. Some people use less energy by carpooling . For example, four people can ride together in one car instead of driving four cars to work. Whenever we use electricity, we put greenhouse gases (气体)into the air. By turning off lights, the television, and the computer when they aren't needed, you can help a lot.
Don't buy products that use too much energy. Some products, like certain cars, are made specially to save energy. These cars can travel longer on a smaller amount of gasoline. They don't pollute as much, either. Products like computers, TVs, and VCRs with the ENERGY STAR label (标签) are made to save energy. Buying products with these labels will help protect the environment. Buy recyclable products instead of non-recyclable ones. Recyclable products are usually made out of things that have already been used. It usually takes less energy to make recyclable products than to make new ones. So when you go shopping, look for the recycle mark on the package-three arrows that make a circle. The less energy we use, the better.

Families aren't families they used to be. A lot of families have broken up. If husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together.

But now the family don't eat home-cooked food any more.
And the cars! No one walks any more. More and more people drive. Students used to walk 5 miles to school every day, even in winter. But nowadays students don't.
