The school uniforms are not special enough to give an unique Chinese flavor. Secondly, the inconvenience is not a problem but a way that display the richness, delicacy and great fascination of Chinese culture with a history of thousand of years.

You don’t have to break your back to create a yard that’s both beautiful and kind to Mother Nature. These environmentally smart ideas will turn your home turf(草地)into a little slice of Eden. 1.
Let the grass grow. Cut grass less often, so it gets a few inches longer than you’re used to. 2. That’s because roots will grow deeper and grass thicker, which means fewer pests, less disease, and a decreased need for chemical intervention.
Water the grass right way. Water before 10 a. m. , when the air is cool and not as much moisture will be lost to evaporation. 3. Water near the base of plants, slowly delivering the good stuff right to the roots. For lawns, water long and deep once a week.
Get keen on composting(制堆肥). Compost isn’t called gardener’s gold for nothing. It keeps kitchen leftover out of landfills and enriches soil with much-needed nutrients. 4. Veggie and tea bags, eggshells, dry leaves, and untreated grass clippings are all fair game.
5. Honeybees help pollinate(授粉) 75 percent of our flowering plants and nearly 75 percent of our food crops. There is increasing evidence that many of the vital pollinators are in decline. Creating a garden that includes plants that flower at different times of the year will benefit pollinators throughout the growing season. Whenever possible, choose native plants with a variety of flower colors and shapes.
A.Many will save your money, too.
B.Dry leaves add nutrients to the soil.
C.Give bees the green-carpet treatment.
D.Make the backyard as beautiful as possible.
E.Watering in late afternoon is the next best option.
F.It also reduces dependency on chemical fertilizers.
G.It will help it survive dry periods of time in warmer months.
