China has decided to stop the use of free plastic bags. Supermarkets, shops and outlets(经销店) in China can’t offer plastic bags any more.
Every year, people use too many plastic bags. They throw them here and there after they have used them. The government has done its best to deal with them but failed. While we offer quick service to customers, the plastic bags pollute water, earth and air, and they waste the oil. The government asks people to go back to carry cloth bags and use baskets when they go to buy something. The cloth bags and the baskets can be used again and again.
Many months have passed. The environment has been improved a lot.

Do you think animals can predict the weather or other natural events? Farmers living in the countryside think so. 1. They think animals’ behavior can be connected to future weather conditions or events. For example, if swans fly into the wind, a hurricane（飓风） is coming. 2. There are many traditional stories connecting animals and natural events. Many people think that these stories are just folklore（民间故事）, traditional stories and beliefs without scientific evidence. 3. Kiyoshi Shimamura is a Japanese earthquake researcher. He noticed an increase in dog bites a short time before earthquakes hit. Then, he did an investigation（调查） of twelve public health centers in Kobe, Japan. 4. He noticed some interesting information about the moth before the big earthquake. Treatment for animal bites had increased. In fact, aggressive (冒犯的) behavior in dogs, such as biting and barking loudly, jumped by 60 percent! People noticed other changes in animal behavior before the earthquake as well. For example, fish began swimming together in large groups, only in the middle of the water and not near the edges. Also, birds flew away from their nests for many days, leaving their eggs unprotected. 5.
