You brain doesn’t have to do anything extra (额外的) to tell the truth. You think of what you want to say, and you say 【小题1】. Lying takes 【小题2】 more work.

Here’s an example of what goes into a simple lie. Imagine you’re late for class and the teacher asks 【小题3】 and you decide to lie. You now have to either come up with a story or remember the story 【小题4】 as you were rushing to class. So you say, “I had to stop by the library and borrowed a book.” Your teacher asks, “The book I 【小题5】 last period?”

You must decide how to answer 【小题6】. If you say yes, the teacher might ask you to show her the book. Or she might expect you to read 【小题7】 it in class. If you say it is 【小题8】, she might ask which book you’ve checked out. So you have to be ready with 【小题9】 of the book and make sure it’s a book the school library owns.

You give 【小题10】 a ton of extra work! Why not just tell the truth? It’s much easier.

Nowadays waste can be seen around us at times. Some students ask for 【小题1】 food than they can eat and others often casually throw away school things like pencils, paper, erasers and so on. They say it’s not a big deal because they can afford these things. But I don’t agree 【小题2】 them.

Waste can bring a lot of problems. 【小题3】 China is rich in some resources (资源), we are short of others, for example, fresh water. It is reported that we 【小题4】 no coal or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting 【小题5】 resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students 【小题6】 waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting from now on.

In our everyday life, we can do many things 【小题7】 resources, for example, turn off the taps when we finish washing, turn off the 【小题8】 when we leave the classroom and try to order food reasonably.

In a word, if we all take the waste problem 【小题9】, little by little, things will be changed. Waste can 【小题10】 by us together one day, if we do our best.

Cooking is supposed to be the most basic living skill for humans. However, there are many kids who are used to being taken care of everywhere. Cooking is very 【小题1】 for them. They can’t even tell the difference between leeks (韭菜) and shallots (小葱) 【小题2】.

In order to show the 【小题3】 of hard-working spirit education among students, the Communist Party of China Central Committee recently released (发布) the notices. The notices call for students to respect labor (劳动) work. Students should learn basic life skills and 【小题4】 good working habits through such education.

Students will be 【小题5】 to understand and master the basics of home cooking. From 【小题6】 vegetables to finally being able to complete the whole process, they should finish it by themselves. These will be lifelong 【小题7】 for kids, helping them develop into well-rounded persons, not just students who are able to take exams.

【小题8】 children’s first teachers, parents should also encourage children to learn how to do chores at home. Students should master at least one 【小题9】 two life skills every year. These skills can include cooking, washing their 【小题10】 and tidying their rooms. It’s really important for students to take labor education both at school and at home.
