A Good Deed Each Day
Every New Year's Day, millions of people make a resolution, but it usually falls by the wayside within a few months, weeks or even days. However, 26-year-old Luke Cameron isnot one of them. The young man decided to do at least one good deed a day, for 366days- and he has not missed yet.
Luke did his first good deed on January 1, 2020. He simply greeted a waitress when hevisited a cafe. The next day he bought food and drinks for some homeless people. And hefollowved it up by giving coins to a woman, as she did not have enough to feed a parkingmeter.
Though most of his kind gestures have been welcomed, Luke says there have been a fewawkward (尷尬的) situations. Once, as he was trying to give away a £20 bill to an old lady,her granddaughter expressed doubt about his purpose. Another time he bought a sausage rollfor a homeless man, but this man happened to be a vegetarian (素食者).
Luke has carefully recorded his good deeds in an online diary. Most of them have beenabout helping people with small things- like taking out the garbage for an old neighbour orhelping a disabled lady pick out a dress for a party. However, the young man has also spentnearly f4,000 of his own money buying gifts for the children in need.
Luke's kind deeds won him a good reputation (名声). He was offered a job for which he can eam f£35,000 a year. Now the young man plans to continue doing good deeds well after the first 366 are done, on December 31, 2020.

Classrooms Are Growing Greener
A“green classroom" used to refer to the color of paint on the wall. But today's green classrooms are greener than that! New“green" casooms help schools save money and provide clean environments where students learm better.
Many cassrooms are going green by adding a group of solar panels (太阳能电池板) to their roofs to absorb the sun's rays. The solar panels collect energy from the sun and use it to power lights and computers. They create at least as much electricity as the classrooms use. In addition, new lighting and air systems can be programmed to lower energy costs and water use.
Many new“green”casooms are built using recycled materials. Some even use small pieces of material from blue jeans to cover walls and ceilings. This cuts heat and air conditioning bll, and it helps to soundproof (隔音) classrooms, too.
Green schools include many other new ideas. Some lasooms are painted with special smell-free paints that help improve indoor air. Some use no glues as they add chemical smells to the air. Others use three sheets of glass in windows and skylights to help keep casrooms warm in cold weather and let in a lot of natural daylight.
Experts say the benefts of building greener casrooms go beyond cost savings. Studies show that a healthful environment with good air quality can reduce colds and flu by more than 50 percent. That means fewer sick days for students and teachers. Studies have also shown that natural light and other green parts of the clssroom improve students' learmning and test scores.

The Inuit People
➊People often call them Eskimos (爱斯基摩人), but they prefer to be called Inuit, which means“humans" in their own language. The Inuit people leam English or French at school, but they speak their own language at home. Children are also given lessons on their traitional activities at school in their own language.
❷The most famous kind of house the Inuit make is a small hut called igloo. The hut is a temporary shelter. It is used during hunting trips in winter. Today, most Inuit live in modern houses with heating systems. They also have television sets, telephones and the Intermet.
❸Tradinall, the Inuit eat food rich in protein (蛋白质) like raw meat. Raw meat contains more vitamins than cooked meat, and is easier to eat in the Inuit's cold environment where lighting up a wood fire for cooking is impossible. Nowadays, the Inuit shop at the supermarket, drink Coca Cola and use the refrigerator.
❹In summer, men fish and hunt from their small boat made of wood or sealskin. In winter, they use dog sleds (雪橇). They sit still for hours waiting for a seal to pop its head up from a hole dug out of the ice. Today, it is much easier to hunt with guns, but the Inuit still prefer to use traditional weapons like throwing sticks.
The main threat the Inuit face today is the destruction of their environment. Global warming caused mainly by developed nations has terrible consequences on the area where the Inuit live. Animals are especially threatened. Some species are even dying off.
