Pollution

Hundreds of years ago,life was much harder than it is today.People didn't have modern machines.There was no modern medicine,either.

Life today has brought new problems.One of the biggest is pollution.Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty.It kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water.Noise pollution makes us talk louder and become angry more easily.Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution.It's bad to all living things in the world.

Cars,planes and factories all pollute our air every day.Sometimes the polluted air is so thick that it is like a quilt over a city.This kind of quilt is called haze (雾霾).

Many countries are making rules to fight against pollution.Factories must now clean their water before it is thrown away,and they mustn't blow dirty smoke into the air.

We need to do many other things.We can put waste things in the dustbin and not throw it on the ground.We can go to work by bus or with our friends in the same car.If there are fewer people driving,there will be less pollution.

Rules are not enough.Every person must help to fight against pollution.

Are you a gourmand(美食主义者)? Do you want to eat every delicious food in the world ? Then do you watch the popular program? “A Bite of China(舌尖上的中国)” is a documentary on Chinese delicious food which has been broadcasted by Chinese central television. Is there any holiday that isn’t celebrated with a special festival food ? Here are several traditional Chinese foods:

Eggs hold a special meaning in many cultures, and China is no exception(例外). The Chinese believe eggs mean producing something new. After a baby is born, parents may hold a "red egg and ginger party," where they pass out eggs to announce the birth. In some areas of China, the number of eggs represents the sex of the child, for example, an even number(1,3,5,---) for a girl, and an odd number(2,4,6---) if a boy has been born.  

Noodles are a symbol of longlife in Chinese culture. They are as much a part of a Chinese birthday celebration. Since noodles represent long life, it is considered very unlucky to cut it off.  

 Although westerners sometimes may be very sorry to see fish lying on a plate, in China a whole fish is a symbol of richness. In fact, at a party it is traditional to serve the whole fish last, pointed toward the valued guest. Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish “ yu” sounds like the word for richness or plenty, and it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the year to come.

 A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat Festival is Zongzi. This tasty dish is made of rice dumplings with meat, peanut or other delicious food in bamboo leaves. The tradition of Zongzi is meant to remind us of a great man, Qu Yuan.

The 50-minute program tries to bring something new by presenting more cultural elements(元素), such as eating habits and the quality of eating.
