The other day, the two of us rode to a 124 near our home. After shopping I bought her an ice cream, and she sat down 125 a table happily admiring the ice cream in her hand. Suddenly a 126 look appeared on her face. “Do I have to eat it up in a hurry, Mum?” I nearly cried when hearing this—the pains of a hurried life influenced(影响) my poor girl so deeply! As she looked at me waiting to know if she could 127 her time. I knew I had to make a 128 . I thought of the times when I rushed (催促) my child through life, I began 129 what really matters in life…. “You don’t have to 130 . Just enjoy it.” I said gently.

Traditional red pockets are often decorated with gold Chinese characters（汉字）, such as 196 and wealth. How red packets are used During Chinese New Year, 197 is (are) put inside red packets which are then handed out to younger generations by their parents, grandparents, relatives, and even close neighbours and friends. The 198 Red represents luck and good fortune in Chinese culture. That is 199 red packets are used during Chinese New Year and other celebrations. How to give and receive Giving and receiving red packets is a 200 act. Therefore, red packets are always 201 and received with both hands. Someone who receives a red packet at Chinese New Year or on his or her birthday should not 202 it in front of the giver. 203 , things are different at a Chinese wedding, where the guests usually give the red packets to the attendants and sign 204 names on a large scroll ( long piece of paper). The attendants will open the packets at once, 205 the money inside, and record it on a register（登记簿） next to the guests’ names. The amount（数量） The amount of money is relative to your relationship to the person who receives-the 206 your relationship is, the more money is expected. Anyway, it is not the amount of the money that matters, but the care and love you hold for others . What not to gift Certain amounts of money are to be 207 .

You probably use them to 211 lots of things, such as soybean milk (豆浆) , cola or milk tea. Plastic straws are small 212 they are a big problem. They are made in 10 minutes, used in 20 213 and normally remain on the earth for over 100 years since they cannot be 214 easily. But how do plastic straws get into the 215 ? Because of human mistakes, they are often thrown away, left on beaches, or blown out of bins. The waste management (管理) in some areas are so poor and remember, all gutters (排水沟) lead to our ocean. 216 , plastic straws kill ocean life. Once a 217 was found bleeding because a 12-centimeter-long plastic straw was pushed into 218 nose. How terrible! In fact, around 500 million plastic straws are used every day in the US alone.

These straws can be used, 223 , and reused over and over again. Coffee house chain Starbucks (星巴克) has started to 224 lids (盖子) without straws and paper straws instead of plastic straws in almost 1000 stores in Shanghai and Shenzhen. Starbucks is not alone. McDonald’s has 225 taken action to reduce the use of plastic straws.
