23、 in En glishDear Editor :1 am a stude nt at Renmin Uni versity of China in Beiji ng. As a regularwho goes to the university library s newspaper, roomave discovered thatmany stude nts like readi ng n ewspaper in En glish, especially China Daily.The reas on that China Daily is popular among stude nts

24、is not difficult toexplain. A major characteristic of China Daily is the conciseness of its articles.Most of the articles are brief, clearly writte n and in formative. Many stude ntsare busy with their studies and done mu haspare time. However, byreadi ng China Daily , readers can get up-to-date n e

In this sense, China Daily isprovidi ng a sort of- fotafet ” to its readers. Furthermore , China Daily alsohelps its readers improve their writing skills.

26、For those students who find English compositi ons difficult, articles on Chi na Daily serve as perfect examples.Many fellow stude nts told me that they had lear ned a lot from China Daily about China and the world. As a result they also improved their readi ng and writing and got high marks in Engli

It was peaceful； there were no coke cans or min eralwater bottles to spoil the viewit was quite simply the world s m

28、ostspectacular ope n air museum.How things have cha nged! There are now cans and bottlesandsometimes much worse. While I used to spend most of recreational time climb ing the Great Wall , I have found myself spe nding an in creas ing amount of time clea ning up the wall. In the last 18 mon ths I hav

29、e orga ni zed four Great Wall clea n-up activities , mobiliz ing around 350 people to collect garbage. I ask myself , why is the Great Wall becoming such a dump?Litter was not a problem at in the 1980s, because packagers of foodsand drinks used traditional materials that were biodegradable or return

30、able.Now , as the market economy has expanded, consumption has boomed. Ineveryday life , plastic bottles , metal cans, foils and cellophane are widely usedas disposable packagi ng materials. In creased mobility as the result of mushroo ming private car own ership has also fueled the widespread use a

31、nd abuse of disposable packagi ng.View ing this serpe nt of stone snaking across the mountains north 0fBeijing , I know that the Great Wall is the No 1 won der of the world, a preciousand unique cultural relic ,a fragile wilder ness. The Great Wall is in dan ger ofbeco ming just a symbol, despoiled

32、in reality. I hope that more people can startto show their love for the Great Wall in actio n.3) Wealth and Happ in essWealth has always bee n what some people long for. It is true that mostof them try to acquire wealth by mea ns of hon est labor. Their efforts con tribute to the welfare of the soci

33、ety and at the same time to the accumulation of their wealth , and hence to their happ in ess.There is no doubt that wealth brings happ in ess, especially in themoder n society. Various kinds of up-to-date household applia nces, latestfashi ons and recreati ons make their appeara nee with each pass

34、ing day. All this makes our life more comfortable and colorful. Therefore, without money wecannot turn admiration into reality.But there are excepti ons whe n wealth does not go hand in hand withhapp in ess. Wealth may tempt weak-willed pers ons to be addicted to harmful habits , such as drug-taking

35、 and gambling, and result in their own ruin. Alsoa person may lost his reason and go astray if he is entirely devoted to seeking wealth.In my opinion , on no acco unt can we ide ntify wealth with happ in ess.I also believe that one should n ever rely only on wealth to achieve happ in ess.4) The Figh

Therefore , more and more people are appeali ng to the authorities to take strong measures to reduce the crime rate.Faced wit

37、h crimi nals , differe nt people have differe nt attitudes towardsthem. Some become so frightened that they tend to give up fighting or to turna bli nd eve to the crim in als. Others, however , are brave eno ugh to fight thecrimi nals even at the risk of their own lives. In their eyes, resp on sibil

38、ity is themost importa nt of all the values that hold hon est people together Without it there can be no self-respect , no trust , no law-a nd, ultimately , no society.There is no doubt that they set a good example for all of us to follow.As far as I am concerned ,my suggesti ons are as follow. In t

39、he firstplace , every one of us should receive a law educati on. Secon dly,crim in alsmust be puni shed severely. Fin ally, it is urge nt to set up a foun dati on to rewardthose who fight crim in als. In this way we can sta nd up to any crime and smash it.5) Challe nges of Environmen tal IssuesEn vi

40、ro nmen tal protectio n has aroused great concern among people. Inmany cities , especially in big populous cities,en viro nmen tal polluti on hasbecome really serious. For example, an urba n populati on of 12 millio n and 1.4minion vehicles in Beijing puts great pressure on resources and the en viro

41、 nment, The un dergro und water level in Beiji ng has continued todecrease in recent years due to excessive use. Coal burning, exhaust emissionsfrom vehicles and factories also intensify the city s environmental problems. Wehave to pay the historical debts we owe to the en viro nment because of earl

42、y rapid econo mic developme nt.However , polluti on con trol does not have to hin der econo micdevelopme nt. In a sense , it is a stimulati on to the economy because polluti oncon trols motivate en terprises to aim for higher in dustrial sta ndards and start a material and resource efficie nt produc

43、ti on. The exhaust con trol on vehicles can be cited as an example. Some municipal governments require that the pollutant level in vehicle emissi ons be con trolled to reduce air polluti on. Uni eaded gasoli ne has also bee n promoted duri ng the past year. As a result, automobileand chemical factor

44、ies have to enhance their producti on tech no logy to meet the dema nd.Now some mun icipal gover nments have also take n such measures tostop the polluti on as replaci ng coal with n atural gas, reduci ng dust anddeforestati on to improve the lives of reside nts. In Beiji ng,30 per cent of fuelused

45、in urba n cen ters will come from n atural gas. Low sulfur coal is replaci ng high sulfur coal for factories. Many small boilers and kitchen ranges in restaura nts and dining halls have bee n replaced by gas ovens.As we can see that the measures have bee n effectively combati ngpolluti on. The air s

46、ulfur dioxide den sity has bee n on the decli ne since this year,and the den sity of total suspe nded particles and carb on mono xide bas bee n kept on the same level as last year. Though the density of nitrogen oxides continuesto in crease because of the rising of the nu mber of automobiles, the de

47、gree ofgrowth has bee n reduced.Despite the progress some big cities have achieved in improv ing thelocal en vir onment, we believe that big city pla nners should adopt acomprehe nsive environmen tal policy, which is more importa nt tha n thedetailed measures and achieveme nt.6) Opport un ities don

48、t come o ften. They come every once in a while.Very ofte n, They come quietly and go by without being no ticed. Therefore, itis advisable that you should value and treat them with care.When an opport unity comes, it brings a promise but n ever realizes iton its own. If you want to achieve someth ing

49、 or intend to fulfill one of yourambiti ons , you must work hard , make efforts and get prepared. Otherwise,you will take no advantage of opportunities when they come to visit you.The differe nee betwee n a man who succeeds and one who does no t liesonly in the way each treats opport un ities. The s

50、uccessful pers on always makesadequate preparati ons to meet opport un ities as they duly arrive. Theunsuccessful person, on the other hand , works little and just waits to see thempass by.In my opinion , there are ple nty of opport un ities for every one in oursociety , but only those who are prepa

51、red adequately and qualified highly canmake use of them to achieve their purpose.7 ) EDUEATION IN CHINAIn the wave of the econo mic reform, many scholars and educatorshave realized that China s education system especially the higher education,has to gear itself to the market economy.First of all , t

52、he prese nt college educati on system cannot meet then eeds follow ing the developme nt of the market economy. For example, theen rollme nt and job assig nment which are carried out in the conven ti on ally pla nned manners , should be reformed.The competiti on in the n ext cen tury will be based on

53、 n ati onal stre ngthand on scie nee and tech no logy. Therefore,trai ning high-calibre Professi onal isimporta nt. Some one suggested to build 20 to 30 quality uni versities in a bid to train high-level professi on als. But this is far from eno ugh. If the state wants to succeed , it has to develop

54、 applied scienee, high-tech , inter-disciplinaryscie nces and engin eeri ng tech no logy. The uni versities should try to readjust their syllabus in order to meet the n eeds of econo mic and social developme nt.The reform is a Ion g-term job. The sec ond problem is concerning the expe nditure of uni

55、 versities and colleges. The expe nditure comes mai nly from the State and the marketi ng of research findings: But it is not eno ugh to relyon allocati ons from the state and the in come of the school. Now many schools have asked the stude nts to pay a certa in amount of fees. This is workable beca

56、use China s college education is not compulsory and with the improvement of people s living standards, parents are willing to pay for education, collegescan set up scholarships and stude nts loa ns for outsta nding stude nts from low- in come families.From a strategic point of view, the country shou

If China want to stre ngthe n her overall n atio nalstre ngth , the best way is to start from educati on.9 ) ECONOMIC REFORMS IN CHINAChina has take n her econo mic reforms for n early two decades.
