Since the beginning of the year, smog (雾霾) has covered parts of North China. In January, Beijing saw only five days without smog. The rising PM2.5 readings terrified many people, and some health experts said that whenever the smog gets serious, hospitals receive more patients suffering acute respiratory (呼吸系统) and heart diseases.
Later, news of polluted underground water in some provinces scared people who wondered whether the water they drink is safe.
So the need to emphasize environmental protection while developing the economy is heard everywhere.
Smog is especially a common concern. As a popular online post said, air may be the only thing that is equal for everyone, despite your income or profession. People with higher incomes are able to drink only bottled spring water and eat only organic food by paying higher prices, but they breathe the same air as everyone else.
At a meeting on Monday, many representatives have expressed their concerns about the air quality, too. One talked about his experience in Beijing. “After taking a taxi from the capital airport to my hotel, which took about an hour, I washed my nose and found the inside of my nose was bl ack. We should ask ourselves this question：Why do we want to develop? It's for living a better life. Dirty air is definitely not a better life, ” he said.
China needs to develop its economy and invest (投资) in hightech. Every Chinese has a dream to make China stronger. But without blue sky, clean water and safe food, the achievements in the economy will become meaningless. Space technologies are not to be developed for building a base on Mars so that one day all human beings can move to the red planet because they have destroyed Earth.
What the public wants is a strong and beautiful China. The great efforts must be made to promoteW5 P2 ecological progress and build a beautiful China. The words have shown the central government's determination to address the environment issue.

All my life I had wanted a dog. I had two cats that I adored like children, but I still wanted the company of a dog. Then unfortunately I lost my cats. Soon came another shock that my husband left me forever because of lung cancer. I felt I had just lost everything that ever mattered to me.
I voiced these feelings to a friend, who took me to a pet store. The store was holding an adoption day with shelters. I looked at and held several puppies (小狗), wondering which to choose. Then I met Maggie. She looked at me with the saddest eyes I had ever seen, then laid her head on my shoulder and slept. I immediately decided to save her!
Maggie adjusted well. I, however, was still adjusting. One night, thoughts of losing everything rushed through my head again. So depressed was I that I felt the only solution was to end my life. With a bottle of medicine in one hand and Maggie on my lap, I took the pills. Through my tear－filled eyes I looked down at Maggie to tell her I was sorry. The look on her face I will never be able to explain. It's as if her eyes said, “Don't leave me; I need you just as you needed me.” It was then that I ran to the bathroom to vomit_up the pills. The rest of the night I sat on the couch holding Maggie and thanking her for saving me.w w w .
Since that night I have had a love for her that I never knew possible. She never leaves my side when I am at home. She has taught me to smile and laugh. Together with Maggie, I feel I can get through anything.

Mei Xiang, a femal e panda of 17 years old, gave birth to twins on August 22, 2015, bringing a happy end to an anxious wait that had begun in April. The birth of two pandas has increased the excitement at Washington's National Zoo, but keeping them both alive will be tricky.
Now that Mei Xiang has surprised the world with twin babies, zoo staff are working round the clock to help them through the first fragile weeks of life. Unable to crawl (爬) or see for about two months, the baby depends on the mother's warmth, milk and protection. Even so, misfortunes can happen. Mei's second baby, a female, was born in September 2012, but died a week later due to lung damage. Poorly developed lungs likely prevented it from getting enough oxygen.
In the wild, if a panda has twins, the nature of the mother is to choose the stronger of the two pandas and abandon one. But zoos have developed a way to get around that: They will take turns to put the twins between mom and the incubator (恒温箱) every few hours, which means that each baby will get enough time with its mother to be fed by her. If necessary, her milk will be supplemented (补充) with a mixture of infant formula (婴儿配方), dog food and water.
The tiny pandas are especially fragile in the face of the mother's 200－pound weight. In July 2006, a panda in China accidentally killed her newborn as it nursed. By watching the zoo's panda nests, zoo staff will keep a careful eye on the twins to make sure mom doesn't accidentally harm them.

As far as I am 【7】 (concern), my suggestion is 【8】 we should always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever something beats us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then consult our dictionary. We can also ask our English teacher 【9】 help, if necessary. In short, I believe that it is of great use to keep a diary in English for 【10】 development of our writing skills.
