    When Charley gets up one morning, he looks from the window and  (1)  the ground covered with snow. The snow is piled (堆积) higher than Charley’s  (2)  .

    “We must have a path (通道) through this snow,” says his father. “I will make   (3)  if I have time, but I  (4)  be at the office early this morning. “Do you think you could make the path, Son?” he asks little Charley.

    “Me? The snow is higher than my head!   (5)  could I ever cut a path through that snow?”

    “How?  (6)   doing it little by little. Believe in yourself,” says his father, then he   (7)   for his office.

    So Charley gets the snow shovel (铲子) and begins to work. He takes first one shovelful and then another; but it is   (8)  work.

    “I don’t   (9)  I can do it, Mother,” he says. “A shovelful is so little,   (10)  there is so  (11)  snow.’’

What is the population of China? There are more than 1. 37 billion people in China. It is   (1)  one fifth of the world’s population. How to control the population growth is a big problem. Some people think it’s impossible to control the population growth. But I don’t quite agree   (2)   them because where there is a will, there is a way.

The question is how we could   (3)   it known to everyone how serious the population problems are. Our farmland is becoming less and less to everyone. We have already got too many mouths to feed. Unless we control the population growth， many people will die   (4)   hunger. Too fast population growth will be bad for our nation. Though laws have been passed to control the population growth，in some places   (5)   is done to carry out the laws. We should make people   (6)   that it is foolish of them to give birth to too many children. They should no longer do what they have been doing for many years.

We are fighting   (7)   too fast population growth. Yet the fighting won’t end   (8)   everyone knows its importance and does something for it.

It's very important that we all recycle. In nature, everything   (1)   again. For example, when an animal dies, it becomes   (2)   animal's food. Nothing is wasted. But humans have created things like plastic bags which can't be   (3)   down by nature. Our   (4)   kills animals and pollutes water and soil.  (5)   we continue making too much rubbish, the problem will only get worse. If nature can't reuse the rubbish, we must recycle   (6)  .We should clean up the rubbish we've made because nature can't.

Recycling is also the right thing to do for another reason. The earth is rich in natural materials like water and trees，  (7)   these materials are not endless(无尽的)．We use up our natural materials   (8)   faster than the earth is able to reproduce(再生)them. For example, each year we cut   (9)   more than 6，000 square miles of forest. But it takes an average of 25 years for a new tree   (10)  .

Recycling can help us save the earth, so let's take action right now.
