When kids ask me who my favorite hero is, my answer is always the same: my grandfather.

Grandpa began his military career in the Navy in 1939. He joined with his son, Paul. The Department of the Navy kept them fairly close together, allowing them to be in port at the same time so they could visit and spend time together. They were both in port in Hawaii when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on 7 December, 1941. My Uncle Paul was among the 1, 177 who were aboard the U. S. S. Arizona.

After WWⅡ， Grandpa left the Navy and enlisted in the Army, where he spent the remainder of his career. His duty stations included Alaska, France, Italy, Germany, and the Philippines. When the time came, he worked as a Medic, saving the lives of many young soldiers.

Various European duty stations filled the years between Korea and Vietnam for Grandpa. My grandmother spent her time learning local recipes and culture while they traveled Europe's lush (酒) countryside; something I'm grateful she passed on to me.

Vietnam brought a new set of orders for Grandpa and a new set of worries for Grandma. But he went and she worried. Grandpa was severely wounded in the early days of the war, a gunshot wound to the chest that grazed (擦破) his heart. He spent a few weeks in an Army hospital in Germany before being flown back to the States and being admitted to Walter Reed Hospital.

My grandfather was never a man to cool his heels for very long, however, and soon found a job at ICI Americas. Grandpa retired from ICI in 1988, though, to allow another family member to seek employment there as company policy didn't allow family members to work in the same plant.

So on Memorial Day, I ask you to remember all of our nation's heroes: the ones who have died for us，； the ones who came back wounded, as well as the ones who came back healthy — because they are all the greatest heroes.

Reducing, reusing, and recycling is a way of life in Sweden. Recycling is required by law and garbage is sorted at home before it goes to a recycling center. Recyclables are sorted into seven categories and recycling stations are within just 300 meters of all residential areas. " Recycling almost everything is a must in Sweden now. It actually feels very uncomfortable when you visit another country and can't find easy ways to recycle，" said Owen Gaffney, an expert at Stockholm Resilience Centre and Future Earth.

But not all of its garbage is recycled. Sweden uses alternatives that include incinerating garbage to make electricity instead of using fossil fuels (化石燃料) to heat 1. 2 million homes. About half of household garbage is sent to one of the 33 waste­to­heat plants. Sweden is importing garbage from other countries to keep these plants running. Sweden is also a world leader in turning food waste into eco­friendly biogas. It has made food waste collection compulsory beginning in 2021. There is a food waste biogas plant, which allows biogas to be used to run public buses and to heat apartment buildings.

Sweden now wants to deal with those remaining items that cannot be recycled by using a circular (循环论证的) economy approach. It means that products can be reused and only recycled when absolutely necessary. The Swedish government formed an advisory group to find a way of making this part of its environmental policy.

This will not work effectively unless people are taught to change their behaviour. Now the government is reforming its tax code so that people could get cheaper repairs or buy used things. The large Swedish clothing retailer (零售商) H&M operates a recycling program that gives customers discounts when they bring back old clothing.

Sweden is fighting climate change by doing all the right stuff. Waste recycling and the plans to switch to a circular economy will go a long way in reducing its carbon footprint and will help stop global warming.

The giant panda (love) by people throughout the world. Chinese scientists (recent) had a chance to study a wild female panda with a newborn baby. She was a very (care) mother. For 25 days, she never left her baby, not even to find something (eat). She would not let any other pandas come near. She licked the baby constantly to keep it clean. Any smell might attract natural (enemy) that would try to eat the little panda. The mother held the baby in her front paws much the way a human does. it cried, she rocked it back and forth and gave it little comforting pats. The mother continued to care for the young panda more than two years. By that time, the panda no longer needed (it) mother for food. However, it stayed with her and learned about the ways of the forest. Then, after two and a half years, the mother (drive) the young panda away. It was time for her to have a new baby, it was also time for the young panda to be independent.

When people think of working animals，what often comes to mind are dogs that watch sheep，horses that work on farms and animals that perform in movies. But there are lots of other jobs animals have had over the years.

Dogs have greater sense of smell than humans. This made dogs the traditional hunting partners，making their owners able to follow foxes and other animals. Police departments have taken advantage of this skill to help find missing people and escaped criminals. ecently，dogs have been trained to find drugs and explosives (爆炸物).

The honey­guide lives in the southeast African nation of Mozambique. It has developed a win­win relationship with a group called the Yao. If a Yao member makes a certain sound，the honey­guide will fly from tree to tree directing him to a hidden bee box. Once the box is discovered，the person breaks open the box for honey，and the honey­guide could enjoy the honey，too.

Ferrets (雪貂) are cute and furry animals that are from 1. 5 to 4 pounds. People have taken advantage of a ferret's natural ability to run through tiny space. Ferrets wear a special harness (甲胄) that makes them able to pull a string through hundreds of feet of tiny space，which is then used to pull computer wires through tiny space.

Baby flies are called maggots. The job of a maggot is to eat and grow until it turns into a fly. This is similar to how a caterpillar eats and grows until it becomes a butterfly. However，there is a big difference between these insects. Caterpillars feed on plants，while maggots eat meat. Actually，they only enjoy bad meat. Maggots are used with patients who get serious infections that can't be treated with antibiotics (抗生素). The maggots are used to the infected area for a number of days. They eat the dead part but leave the living part alone，thereby helping patients recover from the infection.

Robert and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played together and went home together. One day, Robert and Henry were going home from school. When they were turning a corner, Robert cried out "A fight! Let's go and see . . . "

"No, " said Henry. "Let us go quietly home and not meddle with (插手) this quarrel. We have nothing to do with it and may get into trouble. Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don't want them to worry about me. "

"You are a coward (懦夫), and afraid to go, " said Robert, and off he ran. Henry went straight home, and in the afternoon went to school as usual.

But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn't want to play with him together.

Henry was sad but he wasn't angry with Robert for his rude behaviour，because he knew that they misunderstood him, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored (忽略) the other boys' laughter and continued to go to school and study as well. However, Robert didn't invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school，they didn't go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun.

A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out of his depth. He struggled and cried for help, but he failed. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did nothing to help him.

It seemed as if Robert would be dying.

Universities are doing everything they can to become a green campus. But there are also items students can do to make your campus more eco­friendly.

·Recycle everything, especially paper!

There is a large amount of paper a college student goes through every term. We know that these things can't be avoided, but the way you handle the use of all the paper can really help create a better green campus.

·Buy green.

Paper, cleaning products and water are products that can be bought as recycled goods. They're slightly more expensive than the normal products, but it's worth it to make a green campus.

·Walk and bike to school.

Most campuses, especially those that are trying to become a more eco­friendly campus, have pretty good public transportation. Walking or biking will help make your campus a green university.

·

A water bottle can be refilled at any water fountain and can easily be drunk in class or while riding a bike. This will save the environment by decreasing the amount of plastic waste on your campus.

·Buy used clothing.

It is usually thought of as something to do to save money. Recycling clothes minimizes the use of resources to make clothing and puts a dent in the problem of worldwide sweatshops.
