One day, Confucius (孔子) led his students to the State of Chu. When crossing through a large forest, they saw an old man【1】 (stand) under a tree, catching cicadas (蟬) with a bamboo stick. Confucius said, “You are very good at 【2】(catch) cicadas. You must have some special skills.”

“That’s right!” the old man answered. “The cicada is a clever little insect. If they hear the noise of the leaves in the wind, they 【3】 (fly) away. Therefore, people who want to catch cicadas【4】(train) their hands to hold a bamboo stick without shaking. If you can place three pellets (彈珠) on top of the bamboo stick without falling off, you might be able to catch cicadas; when five pellets【5】 (place) on top without falling off, catching cicadas is as easy as 【6】 (pick) a ball up from the ground.”

He then added, “But that is not enough. People must be good at hiding themselves. Right now, I【7】(stand) under a tree like half of a tree stump ( 樹 樁 ). Last of all, one must be attentive ( 專 心 的 ). When I am catching cicadas, I only see their wings. No matter what 【8】(happen), nothing will disturb me.

Hearing this, Confucius 【9】(turn) to his students and said, “No matter what you do, you can only succeed if you love what you’re doing and pay enough attention to it. This is what this old man 【10】(teach) us.”

Chinese food is often prepared and served in small size pieces, which makes it easy when eating with chopsticks.

How do you use chopsticks?

(1) Hold the first chopstick between your fourth and middle fingers. This chopstick keeps still, and it does not move. Your thumb should help keep it in place.

(2) Make the second chopstick slide (滑動) between your thumb and index fingers. You move this chopstick by moving the index finger up and down. This movement will open and close the chopsticks, which is how you will pick up food.

As you practice, you will develop your “own” skills, and find out what works better for you. There is no right or wrong way in fact. Like holding a pencil, many people do it differently but the only goal is to write. With chopsticks, the goal is to get food in your mouth.

Recycling helps Earth. And it saves space in rubbish dumps. Half of everything that we put into landfills could be recycled instead. In fact, most things made of paper, metal, glass and plastic can be recycled.

Paper can be broken into small pieces and made into new paper. Steel and aluminum cans（金屬雄）can be melted down（熔化）and made into new cans. The same is true of glass bottles. This can be done aver and over again. Recycling doesn't take as much energy as making these things the first time. So we can use less of Earth's fuel resources.

Plastic can be melted down, too. Then it can be formed into park benches, playgrounds and so on. Some people call plastic the "wood" of the future. Things made of plastic will last about 400 years-even if they stay outside in the weather. No wood can do that!
