Qi Haoren , a Junior 1 student at High School Attached to Harbin Institute of Technology, was quite busy over the past winner vacation and not just with homework. Qi, together with 10 other classmates made a volunteer group to call on people to join the Clean Your Plate Campaign.

The 11 students went to many restaurants and told people the importance of saving food.” Excuse me, do you know that 950 million people around the world still haven’t got enough to eat ? Please don’t waste food”. They would say this kind of thing hundreds of times every day.

The Clean Your Plate Campaign began on the Internet in January. It calls on people to reduce food waste.

China in recent years has experienced serious problems with wasted food. CCTV reported in January that the food Chinese people waste every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year.

Chinese people are well known for being hospitable(好客的) and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food.

Luckily, the campaign has got the support of many. In a restaurant in Xinjiang, the owner gives the guests who have eaten all that they ordered a sticker. People can enjoy a free meal when they have 10 stickers. More than 750 restaurants in Beijing have begun to offer smaller dishes and encourage their guests to take leftovers home.

To reduce food waste is a big task, and it needs time. It’s important that everyone does their bit, just like Qi. Did you finish your meals today?

The Song of Cicadas

Late in the summer, on a cool evening, Addy and her father heard a song high in the trees. “Listen!” said Daddy, “Cicadas!”

Together they searched the trees around their yard and found empty cicada shells, “An insect used to live inside,” Daddy explained. “When it grew bigger, it left its shell behind.” Gently Addy and Daddy pulled the fragile(易碎的)shells off the trees and collected them in a bucket.

Just as Addy reached for one of the shells, it began to walk! The cicada was still inside. Addy watched it slowly crawl up the tree. Then it stopped and sat motionless for what seemed like a long time. A small crack began to open down its shell. The crack got wider and wider, until Addy could see the insect’s back emerging. When it head popped out, Addy looked right into its shiny green eyes.

Slowly and gently each leg slipped out of the shell – two small ones on the front, two in the middle, and two bigger ones on the back. Addy could see two tiny, thin wings that looked like wet paper.

Daddy brought out a chair. “Aren’t your legs getting tired?” he asked, “You’ve been watching for almost an hour now.”

“Look, Daddy!” exclaimed Addy, “Something is happening to the wing.” “The cicada has tiny vessels(脉管)in its wings,” said Daddy. “It fills these vessels with fluid from its body to expand the wings.”

Patiently Addy sat in her chair and watched and watched. The sun went down and the air became very cool. Mommy called from the house, “Time to come inside!”
