In England, some food companies across the whole country have been told to carry out urgent (緊急的) tests on all beef products. Do you know why? That’s because some food companies used horsemeat to make beef products.
There are some examples about the horsemeat matter. In January, 2013, in a number of UK supermarkets, frozen hamburgers were found to have traces of horsemeat in them. Some frozen beef products made by food company FINDUS were found to contain horsemeat. All of the beef products made by this company have been removed from sale.
The government said that there’s nothing to suggest any health risk from the products. Food minister David Heath said people should not throw away frozen meat products and carry on eating meat. The government will tell people not to eat meat if the meat is not safe.
Food safety has been an important matter all over the world. More and more countries plan to take some useful measures to ensure the safety of food.

Depending on yourself
Growing up is not always easy .When we face difficulties ,a spirit of depending yourself is more useful than crying for help .That ‘s what Hong Zhanhui’s story of growing from boy to man with family hardship tells us .
Hong was born in 1982 in a poor family in Xihua county (縣),henan Province .When he was only 11,his father became badly ill and one day he came back with an unwanted baby girl .A year later Hong’s mother left home . She no longer wanted to live such a poor life and face her sick hus-band .So everything hard fell on to the young boy’s shoulders :to take care of his father and the sister Chenchen ,and to go on to study .
Although his life was hard ,Hong didn’t go away from hisfather and sister .He worked in part-time jobs to feed his family .He climbed tall trees to get birds’eggs for his sister .He walked two hours at weekends to the market to buy different things to sell around his school .A few years later ,he studied at a sollege .To take care of Chenchen ,he worked hard to rent a room near his college for her ,and send her to school .
After Hong’s story went public ,he became a hero in people’s eyes .But Hong refused offers-from others .He sard he felt encouraged by kind offers ,but he could depend on his own work .
Though his hard life ,he has grown up from boy to man .

A big earthquake happened in Japan in March, and it caused tsunami(海嘯).Thousands of people died and millions of Japanese lost their homes.
Do you know there is an earthquake every thirty seconds in the world? But don I worry because most of them arc so small that they cannot be felt. Only a few hurt people. Many earthquakes happen in China, too. Arc you ready for the next earthquake? We havesome advice for you on how to keep safe in an earthquake.
When the earthquake happens, protect yourself first. The life is the most important becausewhere there is a life, there is hope. Don’t go back to get your money or other things.
If you are at home, hide under a desk. Stay away from windows because anythingmay fall on you.
If you are outdoors, try to move away from buildings and streetlights. They may fall on you. If you are in a shop and far from the door, don’t run outside.   Everyone will run outside so that people may hurt each other. Hide under a desk. Don’t get into a lift during an earthquake.
If you are in a moving car, drive to the side of the road, stop as quickly as possible, and stay in the car. Do not try to drive across bridges. It’s dangerous.
When an earthquake has ended, be careful because aftershocks(余震) may still happen. They are just as dangerous as the earthquakes, so stay under the desk until you think it is really safe for getting out.
Make sure you wear shoes after an earthquake. There may be broken glass on the ground.
Remember, these tips are very important. We should always hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

Put 2 February in your diary! It is World Wetlands Day! It marks the date that the
Convention(公約) on Wetlands was signed(簽署)in1971.This special day was first celebrated in 1997 and it is celebrated every year.
The celebration is a call for action. It is a way to show people how important and

All plants and animals are part of the food chain(鏈).If the small wetlands animals

Trees are useful to man（人類）in three very important ways. The first important way is that they provide man with food, wood and other products. Trees provide not only man with food, but also many animals with food. Without trees many animals could not live on the earth. It's not easy for man to live on the earth, either.
The second important way is that trees give us shade. On a hot summer day, people are eager(渴望)to have a rest under the shade of a tree after they have walked a long way. You can imagine how important the shade of a tree is to man and to animals.
The third important way is that trees help to prevent drought（干旱）and floods（洪水）. However, in many parts of the world, man has not realized the third important way. He has cut trees down in large numbers. In the end he finds that he has lost the best friends he had.
