Wang Fengqin, a 61-year-old woman in Beijing, volunteers to sort (分类) rubbish in her living area in Beijing's Chaoyang District.
At 6:30 every morning, while half of Beijing is still in sleeping dreams in bed or enjoying a delicious breakfast, Wang rushes through her busiest hours in the day. She gets up, gives her face a quick wash, takes a simple breakfast and rushes to the four rubbish dustbins beside the gate of her living area. There she checks the waste left by her neighbors to make sure it is sorted correctly.
"Sorting rubbish will improve the environment for all of us and it only takes a minute," Wang said. "I want to help my neighbors develop good habits."
As Wang spoke, an old man came by and threw a plastic bag full of rubbish into the dustbin marked" recyclable (可回收) ".
"Hey, there are some orange peels and fish bones in your bag, so they are supposed to be put into the dustbin marked 'kitchen waste'," Wang told him .
Learning the old man was in a hurry, Wang let him go, opened the bag herself, picked out the kitchen waste and threw it in the right dustbin.
Wang has been doing this every day from 7:30 a. m. to 9:00 a. m. and from 6:00 p. m. to 8:00 p. m. since March 10th. She says people usually go downstairs and throw out rubbish at this time.

It is sometimes said that strange flying objects have been seen high up in the sky. People call these strange objects Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs). These UFOs caused a lot of interest. Some of the reports about them are difficult to believe. Some have been explained in scientific ways. Others have never been explained. Here is something about UFOs from a report.
Dennis Burdens, who wrote an article, tells us that he once saw a UFO himself. He was having dinner one night with a friend near Tripoli, Libya, and after dinner the two men walked across a yard to his room to look at some papers. Burdens noticed that the moon looked strange that night.
"It wasn't the moon," was the reply.
They watched the light and saw that it was moving. It seemed to be an object rather like a big plate. In some ways it looked like smoke with a light on it, but it wasn't smoke because it didn't change its shape. It was moving in a regular way. That is to say, it didn't go suddenly faster or more slowly, and it didn't go higher or lower. So the two men decided that there must be men in it.
After that, Burdens said that he felt eyes looking at him. He was being watched in the darkness.
When it was nearer, they noticed that the bottom parts were brighter than the top. The bottom was yellow and the top red. Then the object suddenly turned away and left Libya, moving very fast.
On a later day Burdens talked to other people about it, and he found some who had seen it. They all described it in the same way. Could they all be mistaken?
