42、ecently, the Meek family has become the focus of the whole country after they completed 100 different outdoor activities in one year.

43、atching TV and playing computer games were not permitted. Instead, they set 100 tasks for the two girls to do outside.

44、 joining activities.

The two little girls not only had a wonderful time, but also learned a lot of skills from the activi

45、ties. They were even able to stand up in front of their school to give a talk for charity. “Our friends spend a lot of their free time doing things which are harmful to their health.

In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you to live a green life.Remember these three

49、words: reduce, reuse and recycle.Reduce means “use less”. Dont waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think if it is really necessary or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local produc

50、ts if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.Reuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time.

51、and buying new ones. Dont use a paper cup or a paper bag. Its better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.Recycle means “change things into something else”.
