  On June 30, 2009, a Yemenia airplane from Paris to Comoros, Africa, crashed into the Indian Ocean.There were 153 people on the plane, including some French officials.Though people have been searching since the plane went down, the result looked unpleasant, for most of the passengers might be in bad luck.

  But a 13-year-old girl called Bahia Bakari was discovered in the water, where she had been staying afloat(漂浮的)by holding a piece of wreckage(残骸)from the plane tightly for over 13 hours.

  When they found her, the girl was too weak to catch he lifebuoy(救生圈)thrown to her, instead, a Comoran police officer, said Abdilai, jumped into the water to pull the child onto the boat.

  Bahia Bakari was injured, especially her collarbone(锁骨).her father was pleased to see his daughter although his wife had gone away in this tragedy.He said that his daughter could hardly swim.It was really a miracle for her to escape in this way.In her daddy’s warm arms, the girl could soon remember what she had experienced.“I was thrown out of the plane and then I saw the plane fall into the water.Next I found myself in the water.I couldn’t swim very well and I caught something but I didn’t know what is was,” said the girl.

  “She is really a lucky young girl,” said Alain Joyandet, France’s minister for International Cooperation.

     I'm Miss Bai. I'm now working for the Spring Travel Se, vice (旅行社) in Fuzhou. I just came back from
Taiwan, the biggest island of China. It is to the east of Fujian Province.
     Last week I took a group of English holiday-makers for a week's trip to Taiwan. We traveled all around the
island. I found it is as beautiful as many other places of our country. And there are a lot of places of interest.
My favourite place was the Sun and Moon Lake. You may ask why people call it so. If you fly high up over the
lake and look down around from your plane, you will find the answer yourself. In the middle of this lake,
there's a small island. People call it Pearl(珍珠) Island because it looks like a pearl. On one side of Pearl Island
the lake looks like a sun, and on the other side it looks like a moon. That's why people call the lake the Sun and Moon Lake.
     There are many mountains around this lake. One of the nearest is the Ali Mountain. We stayed there for
three days. We also had a dance party with Gaoshan People. On our first day there we went to the mountain
and watched the sun going down slowly in the west. On our last day we got up early and saw a very beautiful
sunrise. Taiwan is a very beautiful place to visit.

  At present, air pollution may be the greatest problem and people all over the world pay attention to it. The Chinese government has done a lot to deal with it. One of them is to produce electric vehicles(机动车),especially electric cars. China plans to put at least half a million electric cars on the road by 2015.

  Electric cars are hard to sell. Even with the help of the government, there are still many problems. So it isn’t easy to get more people to use electric cars. One reason is that the electric car is very expensive. A Shenzhen driver said that an electric car cost 80 percent more than the Santana(桑塔纳). Another reason is that we haven’t built enough charging stations(充电站). Sometimes when an electric car uses up its electricity, it can not work at all.
