作文展示 第13周作文： Low-carbon Lifestyle With the advent（到来，出现） of the global environmental protection campaign（运动，活动）, “low-carbon” has become an increasingly popular expression, a catch phrase（口号）, among the environmentally-conscious people. White-collar workers pride themselves on going to offices on bicycles, on foot, or even on roller skates instead of being “the men behind the wheel”. Housewives save water after washing vegetables or clothes for flushing the toilet. Everybody seems to be an environmental activist（活跃分子） nowadays.  By “low-carbon lifestyle”, we refer to a pattern of life involving minimum emission of carbon dioxide (CO2), the most important greenhouse gas produced by human activities, primarily through the combustion（燃烧） of fossil fuels. Carbon dioxide is detrimental（有害的）to human, animal and plant life because it is the primary contributor to global warming that threatens to raise the sea level, leading to the extinction（灭亡） of animals and plants, and ultimately to that of human beings. There is only one Mother Earth for human beings and, literally speaking, preserving（保存，保留） the Earth means preserving humanity itself.  The pursuit of a low-carbon lifestyle seems to be a vogue（时尚，流行） to many people but, in essence（本质上）, it is a long-term necessity. As college students, there are many ways we can become involved in low-carbon endeavors. We can conserve water, recycle our textbooks, and turn off lights on leaving our classrooms. We can resort to public transportations like buses and subways instead of taxis or private cars. Most importantly, we should reduce the use of computers by rejecting（排斥；拒绝） meaningless computer games. Even as students, we have a whole range of channels to pursue a low-carbon lifestyle that is beneficial（有益的；受益的） to ourselves and to humanity as a whole. 第10周作文： Extravagant Spending on College Campus Wu Shi-jie In accordance with the survey which reveals that now the expenditure of students on campus is getting higher and
