AWaste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don't agree with them.Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources(资源) , we are short of (缺乏) others, for example, fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say “no” to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best.任务一：根据要求答题。

British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, wants to change Britain into just such a country. “Everyone in the country will be given their own website within four years,” he said.After people have their own website, they can do things on the Internet. For example, people can “see” doctors on the Internet, and doctors can also answer them through the Internet; parents can learn about their children’s studies on the Internet. Also, teachers don’t need to give them the report cards.This not only saves time, but also saves money. Many people won’t need to go to their offices; they can work at home.
