一天下午，小红、小明背着书包放学回家，路过文明街，看见垃圾桶边有一堆垃圾。
One afternoon, Xiao Hong and Xiao Ming came home from school with their schoolbags on their backs. They passed by the civilized street and saw a pile of garbage beside the garbage can.
小红紧皱眉头说：“是谁这么缺德，把垃圾就这样扔在路上！”小明一看说：“哇塞！还有香蕉皮呢，谁踩上可要当滑板了。”小红眼睛一瞪，对小明说：“你就知道说风凉话，来，把这些拣到垃圾桶去。”小明却嘴一歪，说：“多脏呀！我不干！”小红哼了一声：“下回你要我做什么事就少开口！”“好好好，我干总行了吧！’小红从垃圾堆里发现了小明写“砸”了的半篇日记：“瞧，哥伦布发现新大陆，这儿有你的大名呢。”小明从地上拣起来一看，自言自语地说：“奇怪，我放在抽屉里的日记怎么会跑到垃圾桶边上来了？莫非日记长腿了？”正在这时，不远处一幢大楼的一扇窗户开了，有人冲着楼下喊：“小明，快上楼做作业，瞧你那出息样，你呆在垃圾桶边做啥？”小红仰头一看，原来是小明的妈妈，便对小明说：“小明，你妈叫你呢！”小明从书包里抽出几张纸，说：“不管她，我们把这里的事干完。”小明趴在地上，把纸摊开，拿出笔在纸上写下：“文明只差一步”几个字，他又把纸条贴在垃圾桶上。小红竖起大拇指说：“不愧是咱们班的小秀才。”“你别臊我啦，我知道这堆垃圾准是我妈扔的，我回家后就跟我妈说以后不准随便扔垃圾。”“你做得对，但愿人人都能这样。”他们拣完后就高高兴兴地回家了。
Xiaohong frowned and said, "who is so wicked? Just throw the garbage on the road!" Xiaoming looked and said, "Wow! There's banana skin, who's going to be a skateboard. " Little red eyes a stare, said to Xiao Ming: "you know to say cool words, come, take these to the trash can." Xiaoming's mouth was crooked and said, "how dirty it is! I won't do it! " Xiaohong snorted, "next time you want me to do anything, please don't talk!" "Well, I'll go to the head office!" Xiaohong finds half of Xiaoming's diary written by "smashing" from the garbage: "look, Columbus found the new world. Here's your name." Xiao Ming picked it up from the ground and said to himself, "it's strange how my diary in the drawer came up to the garbage can? Is the diary long legged? " At this time, a window of a building opened not far away. Someone shouted at the downstairs, "Xiao Ming, go upstairs and do your homework. What are you doing by the garbage can?" Xiaohong looks up and says to Xiaoming, "Xiaoming, your mother called you!" Xiao Ming took out several pieces of paper from his bag and said, "no matter her, we'll finish the work here." Xiaoming lies on the ground, spreads out the paper, takes out his pen and writes down the words "civilization is only one step away". He pastes the paper on the garbage can. Xiaohong thumbs up and says, "I'm worthy of being a scholar in our class." "Don't be shy of me. I know that my mother must have thrown this rubbish. I will tell my mother that I won't throw rubbish at will." "You're doing it right. I hope everyone will." When they had finished picking, they went home happily.
文明，其实就在我们身边，但愿每个人都做一个文明的好公民。
Civilization, in fact, is around us. I hope everyone can be a good citizen of civilization.
