Waste can be seen everywhere in the school.Some students ask for more food than they can eatand others often forget to turn off the lights whenthey leave the classroom. They say they can affordthese things. But I don't agree with them.

　　Waste can bring a lot of problems. AlthoughChina is rich in some resources（资源）， we areshort of（缺乏） others， for example， fresh water（淡水）。

 It is reported that we will have nocoal（煤） or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources， what can we use inthe future and where can we move？

 Think about it.I think we should say no to the studentswho 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，forexample，turn off the water taps（水龙头） when we finish washing， turn off the lights whenwe leave the classroom，try not to order more food than we need，and so on. Little bylittle，everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day，if we do our best.

　He is quiet and shy. He likes to hide his eyesbehind his hair. He doesn‘t smile very often.However， if you talk to him about music， he’ll havea lot to say.

　　This is Jay Chou， the 24-year-old Taiwanesepop king（天王）。
