【正文】 to work each day. He became worried about the dirty environment and decided not to go to work by bike any more. Instead, he began to run to work and pick up the rubbish at the same time. To his joy, more and more people followed him and soon plogging became popular. Many people choose plogging instead of just jogging because they think plogging is a good way to help clean up the earth. Sometimes rubbish is difficult to collect because it may scatter all around. But if the runners pick up the rubbish on the way, it is quite different. After all, many hands make light work. Another reason is that plogging burns more calories（卡路里）.According to a research, plogging for 10 minutes burns 48 calories, while usual jogging for 10 minutes burns about 39 calories.

More than half of teenagers go through a period of sadness at least once a month. When you39。re sad, it feels like it will last forever. The world seems dark and unfriendly. You might feel like you have nothing to look forward to. Many times, you cry, and it39。s hard to stop. However, your feeling of sadness usually doesn39。t last very long — a few hours, or maybe a day or two. When sadness starts to go away, it feels like a big stone is being lifted from your body. If sad feelings go on for too long, it39。s called depression. Children who have depression may not know it. Often, it39。s a parent or teacher who notices children39。s changes. When depression happens, it39。s very important for children to receive treatment. When they do, they can get better quickly. Sometimes treatment includes talking to someone who knows all about depression. Sometimes it means taking medicine. Sometimes both of these things are used. If you think you have depression, or you just have sadness that simply will not go away, it is important to talk to an adult about it first. This person can help you find the right kind of treatment.
