AThis is a true story. Tristin Saghin enjoyed the movie Black Hawk Down very much, which is about the conflict（冲突） in Somalia. The ba ttle scenes and the exciting rescues of people who are dying, interested him greatly.There was just one problem: Tristin was only 9 years old, and it was thought that movie was not for children. When his parents caught him watching it on TV, they made him turn it off, though he had finished his homework and it was not late. Then one day, Tristin and his family were visiting his grandmother in Mesa, Arizona. Tristin’s 2-year-old sister got out of the house and fell in the backyard pool. Realizing the little girl was missing, the family ran outside, only to find the girl had fallen into the water.Pulled from the pool and placed on the ground, the child wasn’t breathing. The family called the ambulance , but no one knew how to do first aid. No one, that is, except for Tristin. A scene in Black Hawk Down describes a doctor giving first aid. Tristin remembered it.

He had his two little sons with him and they were having good fun trying to pick up the litter.When I commented on what a good job he was doing, he said, “Well, an older fellow in our str eet does this.

A program called Kids Café is helping some of these children by providing free nutritious (有营养的) snacks and meals during after-school programs.At a community center in Virginia just outside of Washington, D.C., children makea snack as part of their after-school program. “The snack is very healthy for your body, but the main thing is that it tastes really, really go od,” Keith Clements tells them. He runs the Kids Café program.The children are between the ages of 5 and 11 and are from several local schools. About half have parents from Ethiopia. Many of the children eat their traditional fo od at home. Kids Café, with food offered free by a food bank, gives them an opportunity to try different types of food.“It’s good,” says one girl. But Rebecca Nance, whose parents are from the US, is not so sure. “The taste is weird.” Her mother, Daffany Nance has two children in the program. She’s glad her kids are getting nutritious food. “Even in my house we don’t have much junk food,” she says, “so it’s very important that it’s healthy and continues to help them grow better.”The charity, Feeding America, started the national Kids Café program in 1993.

Unluckily, there are still many people who think it is hard to go green. In fact, it is very easy to be green in our daily life.You can make a great start by learning to recycle. While this looks really simple, there are many people who still throw glass bottles into their common garbage. Almost all cities offer a recycling bin (垃圾箱) for these items. If you put them in the recycling bin instead of throwing them away, you will be on the path to save the earth.One good thing to recycle is newspaper. But there are still some people who just put their newspaper in the garbage when they finish reading it. As we know, there are many other things we can do with an old newspaper. For example, we can use it to clean our windows.Another thing that could help you to start to live green is to begin walking a bit more. Many people think nothing of getting in their car and driving one mile to get drinks at the local store. If you walk to the store, not only can it take less time, because you won’t have to try to find a parking place, but you will be saving money on gas and helping to protect the environment. If you wish to save even more on gas, take the opportunity to car pool (拼车) each time you can, which has become popular in many countries.There really are many means by which people can start living green. You only have to make some changes in their lifestyle to improve our environment.13. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?A. To tell readers that many people are living green.B.
