A senior lawmaker on Thursday warned of increasing mortality of lung cancer caused by air pollution.

Of all cancers, lung cancer mortality rate has increased the fastest in recent years, said lawmaker Yang Wei, director of the National Natural Science Foundation of China and member of the National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee.

Yang told a group discussion that recent studies show lung cancer is the top killer for males and the second largest killer for females, partially caused by accumulation of air pollutants.

"We always talked about smoking less to keep healthy, but one of the primary reason is the polluted air," he told lawmakers discussing a report on the enforcement（實(shí)施） of the Law on the Prevention and Control of Atmospheric Pollution.

China has vowed to strengthen air pollution control. Beijing will adopt a special air pollution control plan for the upcoming APEC meetings, featuring temporary closure of factories in the event of a pollution warning.

Lying on his sickbed in hospital, all 86-year-old Lin Ruiming can do is stare out at a tiny part of sky through the small window. The old man used to ride his motorbike through the busy streets of downtown Beijing. All the while he could only dream of touring the world.

He has been suffering from terminal lymphoma (晚期淋巴瘤) since February. As a last gift, his granddaughter,Lin Yifan,asked China’s Internet population to give her grandfather a shot at globetrotting (環(huán)球游). Last week, Lin Ruiming’s image travelled the world, from Sydney Harbor, Australia, to the River Thames in London, UK, and even to a volcano in Auckland, New Zealand.

Lin Yifan, 29, had promised to paint a portrait (畫像) of her grandfather, but had almost forgotten her word until the old man got ill. “I had put off the painting for many years because I believed I would have plenty of time to do it,” she said. She spent one evening last week working on a portrait, based on a photo taken on her grandfather’s birthday last year. She posted the portrait on Sina Weibo, and called for Web users to take photos with the portrait in different locations and send them to her on May 11.Over the following five days she received about 20,000 photos, most of which were sent by people she had never met.

She says that her grandfather, while too weak to view all the photos, has said that he is happy. “Thanks to all these helpers, I have become a celebrity (名人) around the world,” the old man joked.

Yesterday my old neighbor knocked on my door angrily. Obviously, my cat, Rocco, had left a turd (糞便) in his perfect flower beds.

Fortunately, I wasn’t home when this happened, so he angrily complained to my friend and neighbor Kate about this. She was kind enough to listen to him and to go down into the garden with him to have a look. She even took a picture.

When I got home later, Kate had left a message on my answering machine about the incident. Hearing it was about my cat again, my stomach turned. Several weeks before, he’d gotten so upset that he threatened to put rat traps on the ground, hoping that would frighten me into keeping my cat indoors. So, I was a little apprehensive this time.

But I couldn’t help but laugh when Kate told me the whole story. I understood what gardening meant to him. Since my old neighbor retired ten years ago, he had spent all of his time on his garden. So when I saw him in the garden later on, I went to talk to him. To my surprise, it turned out quite nice. I was really surprised to find that I had the grace (雅量) not to respond to his bad words. Instead, I engaged (使忙于) him in a conversation on the beautiful flowers he’d planted, the color combinations and the care he took to create such a sense of order. I tried to convey my understanding and appreciation without complimenting or talking down to him. I was really amazed by how that turned out. We hadn’t had a conversation like that for over a year!

A new study from Harvard University revealed that the message parents mean to send to children about the value of sympathy(同情心） is being mistaken by the message they actually send. In fact they value achievement and happiness above all else.

The Making Caring Common Project at Harvard’s Graduate School of Education surveyed 10,000 middle and high school students about which is more important to them—achievement, happiness, or caring about others. Almost 80 percent of students placed achievement or happiness over caring about others. Only 20 percent of students considered caring about others as their top aim.

In the study “The Children We Mean to Raise: The Real Message Adults Are Sending about Values”, the authors refer to a reality gap, an incongruity (不一致) between what adults tell children they should value and the message we grown-ups actually send through our behavior.

Simply talking about sympathy is not enough. While 96 percent of parents say they want to raise caring children, and cite the development of moral character as “very important, if not essential”, 80 percent of the youths surveyed reported that their parents “are more concerned about achievement and happiness than caring about others”. Approximately the same percentage of the students reported that their teachers put their achievement over caring.

As the report shows, simply talking about sympathy is not enough. Children are sensitive creatures, fully capable of telling the true meanings in the blank spaces between well-organised words. If parents really want to let their kids know that they value care and sympathy, the authors suggest, they must make a real effort to help their children learn to care about other people—even when it’s hard, even when it does not make them happy, and yes, even when it is at odds with their personal success.

1.The first paragraph suggests that parents _____.

A. value achievement less

B. fail to make students realize the importance of sympathy

C. don’t intend to value success

D. regard achievement and happiness as the same

2.What can be concluded from the study?

A. 20% of the students are not ambitious.

B. Kids care more about achievement.

C. About 80% of the students are not caring.

D. A majority of the kids are kind students.

3.What may be the cause for the reality gap?

A. Children’s failure to understand parents’ well-organised words.

B. The generation gap between parents and children.

C. Children’s desire for getting individual achievement.

D. Parents’ lack of a real effort to guide children.

The planet is getting greener, and we are responsible. Carbon dioxide generated by human activities is promoting photosynthesis (光合作用) and causing a beneficial greening of the Earth’s surface.

For the first time, researchers claim to have shown that the increase in plant cover is due to this “CO2 fertilisation (肥沃化) effect” rather than other causes. However, it remains unclear whether the effect can reduce any negative effects of global warming, such as the spread of deserts.

To home in on the effect of CO2, Randall Donohue of Australia’s national research institute, the CSIRO in Canberra, monitored vegetation (植被) at the edges of deserts in Australia, southern Africa, the US Southwest, North Africa, the Middle East and central Asia. These are regions where there is plenty of warmth and sunlight, but only just enough rainfall for vegetation to grow, so any change in plant cover must be the result of a change in rainfall patterns or CO2 levels, or both.

If CO2 levels were constant, then the amount of vegetation per unit of rainfall ought to be constant, too. However, the team found that this figure rose by 11 per cent in these areas between 1982 and 2010, mirroring the rise in CO2 emissions (排放). Donohue says this lends strong support to the idea that CO2 fertilization drove the greening.

The extra plant growth could have knock-on effects on climate, Donohue says, by increasing rainfall, affecting river flows and changing the likelihood of wildfires. It will also absorb more CO2 from the air, potentially damping down (抑制) global warming but also limiting the CO2 fertilization effect itself.

Donohue cannot yet say to what extent CO2 fertilisation will affect vegetation in the coming decades. But if it proves to be significant, the future may be much greener.

1.According to the author, the increase in plant cover _____.

A. will speed up global warming

B. results from human activities

C. will stop the spread of deserts

D. promotes the CO2 fertilization effect

2.What does the underlined phrase “To home in on” in Para 3 probably mean?

A. To hold back. B. To cut down.

C. To improve. D. To observe.

3. The amount of vegetation in those monitored areas rose with _____.

A. the rise in CO2 emissions B. annual rainfall

C. the temperatures around D. the amount of sunlight

4.What’s the best title of the text?

A. More rainfall, less CO2 emission

B. How to deal with carbon emissions

C. Positive effects of global warming

D. CO2 emission making Earth greener

Sometimes,you may “hate” poetry and fear to analyze a poem. Here are some tips which help you analyze a poem:

1. Select the poem carefully. In a poem analysis, you will generally be given a selection of two or three poems. You must pick one to analyze.Be careful. 1. Sometimes the shorter poems are very difficult poems. Often, longer poems are more like stories.

2. Research the poet. There will be research already performed on the poet you’ve selected. 2. Often the poet’s personal life has a direct impact on his or her works.

3. Research the poem. If you are analyzing a poem, it is probably quite well-known. Research and read about the poem. Other literary criticism (文藝評(píng)論) can help you in your analysis. 3. You must come up with a new thought, a new analysis, for the poem. Simply copying someone else’s ideas will not be enough.

4. 4. . Organization, as always, is the key to all essay writing and analysis. Your outline should consist of an introduction, a thesis statement (論點(diǎn)), three pieces of analysis, and a conclusion to bring it all together. Put these basic sentences into an outline structure, which will make the writing of the paper much easier.

5. Write the paper. 5. Follow your outline and you will have no trouble completing this assignment.

A. However, remember not to copy, or ignore the original poem.

B. Many students select short poetry as their preference for analysis.

C. Communicate with other readers first.

D. Create an outline.

E. Read about the poet’s life, history and style as you begin your analysis.

F. Become familiar with the different poem structures before you finish the analysis.

G. Once you have researched your poet, poem, and organized your thoughts, you are ready to write.

I have been writing for more than 50 years.I still consider myself to it, because I have written only one book. , I have written thousands of letters, more than a hundred e-books and millions of words on the Internet for hundreds of websites.

Though I don’t like foreign languages, I have also been and have learned seven of them. I was to study French, German and Latin for six years at school and Russian for four years at university, yet none of these was as as writing a book of excellent . And I am only talking about here, not plot, although that is obviously too.

Rules change in languages. The strict rules of the 19th century were largely over the following 100 years. However, some rules and that is how it should be too. Rules in writing are very important. And writing is a thing and it involves languages, plots, reader’s preferences, etc. So, who should writing and book competitions? And what rules should they ? Readers buy more books than writers and language experts put together. And writers write for readers, some of might be other writers or teachers. Similarly there has to be a storyline or plot that is of , but who should be the judge of that?

There is an author, John Locke, who sold a million books in five months, yet he was for his style and content by experts, surely he must have been doing something . Currently, most writing competitions are judged by writers and this seems to me. I suggest that if there are five judges, three should be readers, one should be a writer and one should be an English teacher.
