As is known, some students have breakfast regularly. Therefore, others don’t, or even skip it. Among of the students who have breakfast every day, only a few have a balanced diet which includes breads, milk and eggs. There is several reasons. First of all, many students don’t know an importance of breakfast. Besides, many parents have limited knowledge about that a balanced diet is. Finally, teachers give students too much tasks, so they have no time have breakfast. In a word, every student will have breakfast regularly. The more balanced diet one has, the healthy he will be!

It is difficult to imagine what the world was like in 1254. Europe was living in an age that we call the Medieval Period（中世纪）. It was a time of many wars. It was in that time 　1　 Marco Polo was born in Venice, Italy. Life in Venice was different from life in most of Europe. Venice was a city of beautiful buildings and water canals. Many businessmen did business in Venice. Marco Polo’s father and uncle were businessmen. They 　2　 （travel）to a far-off country called Cathay.（Cathay is now called China.）There they had friends with the great ruler, Kublai Khan（忽必烈）. He invited them 　3　 （return）to Cathay. When Marco Polo was seventeen years old, he began a journey to China with his father and uncle. They sailed 　4　 Indian Ocean and crossed the desert and mountains of Asia 　5　 camels. The journey to China took three years. Kublai Khan greeted the Polos and sent them lots of gifts. He was especially impressed with Marco, 　6　 could speak four languages including Chinese and others. Khan sent Marco on many trips throughout China. On these trips, Marco saw many amazing things that he had never seen in Europe, such as coal 　7　 （use）as fuel, paper money instead of coins, and papermaking and printing processes. Marco made many notes about life in China. After almost twenty years in China, the Polos began their journey home to Italy. When they returned to Venice, they found their city at war. Marco Polo 　8　 （put）in prison. He spent his time 　9　 （write）a book about his years in China. The book is called Descriptions of the World. It became 　10　 （popular）book in Europe. Because of the book, many people in Europe learned about life in China.

Sweden is so good at recycling that, for several years, it has imported rubbish from other countries to keep its recycling plants going. Less than 1 percent of Swedish household waste 　1　 （send）to landfill last year or any year since 2011.

We can only dream of such an effective system in the UK, 　2　 is why we end up paying expensive transport costs to send rubbish to be recycled overseas rather than 　3　 （pay）fines to send it to landfill under The Landfill Tax of 1996.

Why are we sending waste to Sweden? Their system is so far ahead because of a culture of looking after the environment. Sweden was one of the first 　4　 （country）to implement a heavy tax on fossil fuels in 1991 and now sources almost half 　5　 （it）electricity from renewables.

“Swedish people are quite keen on being out in nature and they are aware of 　6　 we need do on nature and 　7　 （environment）issues. We worked on communications for a long time to make people aware not to throw things outdoors so that we can recycle and reuse,” says Anna-Carin Gripwall, director of communications for Avfall Sverige, the Swedish Waste Management’s recycling association.

She describes Sweden’s policy of importing waste to recycle from other countries as 　8　 temporary situation. “There’s a ban on landfill in EU countries, so instead of paying the fine they send it to us as a 　9　 （serve）. They should and will build their own plants, 　10　 （reduce）their own waste, as we are working hard to do in Sweden,” Ms Gripwall says.
