It is no longer an option to live blithely on this planet with no care as to what you are doing to it. Pollution in it's many forms has grown to critical proportions and if we don't stop the way we've been treating this planet, we will no longer have the honor of living on it.
Here are some simple things that you can do in your own personal environment to help clean up the earth:
Don't use pesticides, herbicides (Round-up, etc.), or chemical fertilizers in your yard and gardens. Mulch your garden waste and use that to fertilize.
Recycle paper, cardboard, glass, plastic, and whatever else your local recyclers will accept.
Buy recycled products and support the whole re-cycle.
Buy organic foods. They are grown without pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers. By purchasing organic food you won't be supporting one of our most dangerous industries - the chemical companies.
Don't burn trash, brush, campfires, woodstoves,or anything else that isn't absolutely necessary. Soot from burning has caused more damage to our atmosphere than carbon monoxide from cars and trucks. Read about it here
Combine trips to take care of errands and shopping to limit driving and save gas.
Limit your family size by practising birth control. We no longer have the luxury of having large families. Every time another child is born it adds to the already overburdened resources of this planet. We are living longer now which means that we are not leaving to make space for the newborn on this planet
Summary
This article states that today the earth have many pollution and all people should do somethings that help clean up by reduce, recycle, buy green product and do not burn trash.
Response
I agree with this article that every people have to help clean up the world altogether. Because everyone should contribute to this problem.

Music maestro please!
Music maestro please!
It's not just your mood a good tune uplifts

Music is like food. Some food types make us fat, thin, healthy - or not. Even the types of books that our brain receives, consumes rather, also have a great influence in shaping the way we think.
Hence, the type of music that enters our ears and brain has a direct effect on our emotions, thinking, brain activity and potential.
Music can enhance or decrease our intelligence. It can also create both good and bad emotions by making us calm or aggressive.
1. Fast learning
Classical music in the baroque period enhances learning.
Georgi Lozanov, a world-renowned clinical researcher in psychiatric studies from Bulgaria, discovered through his research that classical music belonging to the masters dating back to the baroque period such as Handel and Bach, if played in language classes, enables students to absorb the material at a faster rate. The type of music preferred should be 60 beats per minute so that it is in harmony with one's heart rate. It helps one to relax.
A couple of interesting books have been published on this topic. Superlearning, a compilation of Dr Lozanov's research, and Accelerated Learning by Colin Rose who took great pains to detail the importance of using classical music by Mozart in aiding learning.
2. Improving concentration and focus
Certain types of classical music help improve concentration.
Soft and slow classical music helps in the following:
Relaxation of the body, slows down the heart rate, lowers blood pressure, enhances alertness of the mind, rids the mind of exterior noises, prolongs one's attention span and develops one's ability to recall past events.
The title of most classical compositions will not be recognised by the younger generation. The titles are long and in foreign languages. The name of the composer and the score itself is also difficult to remember.
The important aspects of classical music is its ability to improve concentration and the slow beat - this has nothing to do with the "name" or "title" of the composition. All you need to know is that you can listen to any song composed by Bach, Vivaldi, Handel or anyone belonging to the baroque period. And it could be any song as long as it contains the following words - largo (slow), larghetto (almost slow) and adagio (slightly faster than larghetto).
3. Enhancing creativity and inspiration
Good music helps to improve one's creativity. Music goes through a delicate process in both sides of the brain.
Listening to music leads to development of both left and right sides of the brain. Music coordinates the work process of the right side (imagination) and the left side (analytical capability) which are used in solving problems in a creative manner.
Albert Einstein was described by his teacher as a child who had no future. Einstein's mother vehemently disagreed.
His parents bought the young genius a violin. He played the instrument until he achieved a level of proficiency. This was the key that opened up the young Einstein and shaped him into one of the most intelligent physicists in history.
Einstein himself confessed that his intelligence had something to do with playing the violin. His favourites were Mozart and Bach.
The manner in which Einstein tackled scientific problems was likened to improvisation on his violin.
4. Increasing productivity
The music of Mozart and Bach increases productivity by 48%.
Researcher Frances Rauscher experimented on two test groups by asking them to perform paper-folding tasks. One group did it in quiet conditions. The other group performed the tasks while listening to Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major by Mozart. After 10 minutes, the group listening to Mozart showed a higher production rate of 48%.
Summary
the type of music that enters our ears and brain has a direct effect on our emotions, thinking, brain activity and potential. Music can enhance or decrease our intelligence. It can also create both good and bad emotions by making us calm or aggressive. Especially classical music, it effect to your ability an brain so much
Response
I think music is like food that we eat. It effect to our moods and many things. Sometimes it can guide us to do bad or good things. We should listen to good music like classic music because it makes us to be fast learning…etc.

The History of Pepsi Cola
Caleb Bradham of New Bern, North Carolina was a pharmacist. Like many pharmacists at the turn of the century he had a soda fountain in his drugstore, where he served his custo
mers refreshing drinks, that he created himself. His most popular beverage was something he called "Brad's drink" made of carbonated water, sugar, vanilla, rare oils, pepsin and cola nuts.
"Brad's drink", created in the summer of 1893, was later renamed Pepsi Cola in 1898 after the pepsin and cola nuts used in the recipe. In 1898, Caleb Bradham wisely bought the trade name "Pep Cola" for $100 from a competitor from Newark, New Jersey that had gone broke. The new name was trademarked on June 16th, 1903. Bradham's neighbor, an artist designed the first Pepsi logo and ninety-seven shares of stock for Bradham's new company were issued.
After seventeen years of success, Caleb Bradham lost Pepsi Cola. He had gambled on the fluctuations of sugar prices during W.W.I, believing that sugar prices would continue to rise but they fell instead leaving Caleb Bradham with an overpriced sugar inventory. Pepsi Cola went bankrupt in 1923.
In 1931, Pepsi Cola was bought by the Loft Candy Company Loft president, Charles G. Guth who reformulated the popular soft drink. Guth struggled to make a success of Pepsi and even offered to sell Pepsi to the Coca-Cola company, who refused to offer a bid.
In 1940, history was made when the first advertising jingle was broadcast nationally. The jingle was "Nickel Nickel" an advertisement for Pepsi Cola that referred to the price of Pepsi and the quantity for that price. "Nickel Nickel" became a hit record and was recorded into fifty-five languages.In 1964, Diet Pepsi was introduced.

This passage is about Pepsi, It was first introduced as "Brad's Drink" in North Carolina by Caleb Bradham of New Bern, who made it at his pharmacy. It made of carbonated water, sugar, vanilla, rare oils, pepsin and cola nuts. "Brad's drink", created in the summer of 1893, was later renamed Pepsi Cola in 1898.
Response
I think Pepsi is popular beverage and a lot of people like it. I like pepsi because when I drink pepsi, it made me feel fresh and good taste.But It has disadvantage more than benefit because pepsi is soft drink that add a lot of sugar.Therefore, we shouldn't drink a lot. It is not good for your health.

The incredible invention of microwave ovens
Are you a good cook? In the old day, people who lacked cooking skills probably had to rely on instant noodles and rice with fried egg for their dinners. However, modern day technology allows you to have hot gourmet meal of your choice in less than five minutes just by pushing a few buttons on a microwave oven. But have you ever wondered how microwave ovens were invented? You may be surprised to learn that the invention originated from radar equipment and a melted chocolate bar.
Microwaves are electromagnetic waves whose wavelengths fall between those of radio and infrared lights. Microwave beams were used originally in radar instrument to locate aircrafts during World War ll. One day, an American engineer named Percy Lebaron Spencer noticed that the chocolate bar in his pocket melted while he was operating the radar generator. It wasn’t warm in the control room, so he suspected that the microwave beams were the culprit. Soon after this serendipitous discovery, the first microwave oven was invented. This device was based on the principle that the high frequency of microwave beams can excite water, fat, and sugar molecules and make them vibrate, generating enough heat to cook the food. However, this frequency does not affect glass molecules, keeping a microwavable glass bowl cool throughout the cooking process. So the next time you are heating up your frozen dinner, be thankful for the melted chocolate bar and observant engineer that led led to led to the incredible invention known as “microwave ovens”.

Pyrenees' glaciers may disappear in less than 50 years
Much has been said about the situation of the glaciers in Greenland and Antarctica, but little is known about those in the high mountain areas of the Iberian Peninsula. A Spanish study has now revealed, for the first time, that of all mountain areas only the Pyrenees has active glaciers left. What is more, the steady increase in temperature - a total of 0.9°C since 1890 - indicates that Pyrenean glaciers will disappear before 2050, according to the experts.High mountains are particularly sensitive areas to climate and environmental changes, and how glaciers evolve there in response to climate change is one of the most effective indicators of current global warming, in this case evidenced in Iberian mountain ranges - Juan José González Trueba, lead researcher and professor from the University of Cantabria.
Between 1750 and the beginning of the 19th century small glaciers receded in the Pyrenees but soon recovered thanks to a new period of low temperatures. However, since then, temperatures have risen between 0.7ºC y 0.9ºC in Spain’s northern mountains, showing the effects of global warming.

Summary
This passage the writer tell that Pyrenees' glaciers may disappear in less than 50 years . Due to higher temperatures in every year , environmental and climate to changes. Cause of the Pyrenees' glaciers melt and if the temperature increased continuously. In a less than 50 years the Pyrenees' glaciers may disappear.
Response
I think cause of that the temperature increase because actions of all the world's population. Because of rapid industrial growth. Plants worldwide emissions of carbon dioxide in the air a lot and cause the global warming. For this reason cause global climate and environment to change. Today in many countries faced with natural disasters that the increasingly fierce.I think we should to change the behavior and treatment return to our world for me , you ,generations and the world of us.

Chinese New Year
Chinese New Year
Chinese New Year starts with the New Moon on the first day of the New Year and ends on the full moon 15 days later. The 15th day of the New Year is called the Lantern Festival, which is celebrated at night with lantern displays and children carrying lanterns in a parade.
The Chinese calendar is based on a combination of lunar and solar movements. The lunar cycle is about 29.5 days. In order to "catch up" with the solar calendar the Chinese insert an extra month once every few years (seven years out of a 19-yearcycle). This is the same as adding an extra day on leap year. This is why, according to the solar calendar, the Chinese New Year falls on a different date each year.
New Year's Eve and New Year's Day are celebrated as a family affair, a time of reunion and thanksgiving. The celebration was traditionally highlighted with a religious ceremony given in honor of Heaven and Earth, the gods of the household and the family ancestors.
The sacrifice to the ancestors, the most vital of all the rituals, united the living members with those who had passed away. Departed relatives are remembered with great respect because they were responsible for laying the foundations for the fortune and glory of the family.
The presence of the ancestors is acknowledged on New Year's Eve with a dinner arranged for them at the family banquet table. The spirits of the ancestors, together with the living, celebrate the onset of the New Year as one great community. The communal feast called "surrounding the stove" or weilu. It symbolizes family unity and honors the past and present generations.
Celebrated in areas with large populations of ethnic Chinese, Chinese New Year is considered a major holiday for the Chinese.These include Koreans, Mongolians, Nepalese, Bhutanese, Vietnamese, and formerly the Japanese before 1873. In Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and other countries with significant Chinese populations, Chinese New Year is also celebrated, largely by overseas Chinese, but it is not part of the traditional culture of these countries. In Canada, although Chinese New Year is not an official holiday, many ethnic Chinese hold large celebrations and Canada Post issues New Year's themed stamps in domestic and international rates.
