Beijing's air pollution reached dangerous levels yet again on Sunday, marking the third consecutive day of severe smog, municipal environmental authorities said.

The meteorological(气象)station of the city announced the city's first orange fog warning on Sunday morning due to decreased visibility caused by the heavy smog. Monitoring data on Sunday showed that air quality indexes in most regions of Beijing had hit 500， the indexes' highest level.

"Beijing carried out its emergency response plan for dangerous pollution for the first time on Sunday," said Yu Jianhua, director of the air quality department under the city environmental protection bureau.  The plan, issued last year, includes multiple measures to take and respond to risky levels of air pollution.

The plan calls for construction sites to limit construction activity that creates large amounts of dust, as well as asks industrial enterprises to re?duce emissions(排放)，during dangerous pollution days.

The plan also calls for education authorities to instruct schools to limit or completely stop outdoor activities during periods of heavy air pollution.

The municipal environmental monitoring centre said readings for PM 2. 5，or airborne particles measuring less than 2. 5 micrometres in diameter, had reached more than 700 micrograms per square metre at several monito?ring stations in Beijing, reaching as high as 993 on Saturday evening.

"These figures represent extremely bad pollution. Pollutants have gradually accumulated over the course of recent windless days, making the air quality even worse,"said Zhu Tong, a professor from the college of envi?ronmental sciences and engineering at Peking University.

"Private stock firms are seeking opportunities to invest in clean technol?ogy companies in China, especially those that may help reduce air pollution long-term. However, there is a long way to go before the off-the-level smog is stopped,"Yu Jianhua added.

The pollution is expected to swallow Beijing until Wednesday, when wind will arrive to blow the smog away, according to a weather report from the weather station.

A

Several times my daughter had telephoned to say, "Mum, you must come and see the daffodils(水仙花)before they are over. " I wanted to go, but it was a two-hour drive from Lake Arrowhead. "I will go next Tues?day ,"I promised, a little unwillingly, on her third call.

The next Tuesday dawned cold and rainy. Still, I had promised, and so I drove there. When I finally walked into Carolyn's house and hugged and greeted my grandchildren, I said, "Forget the daffodils, Carolyn! The road is invisible(看不见的)in the cloud and fog, and there is nothing in the world except you and these children that I want to see!"

My daughter smiled calmly and said, "We drive in this weather all the time, Mum. You will never forgive yourself if you miss this experience."

After about twenty minutes, we turned onto a small road and I saw a small church. On the far side of the church, I saw a hand-lettered sign that read "Daffodil Garden".

We got out of the car and each took a child's hand, and I followed Car?olyn down the path. Then, we turned a corner of the path, and I looked up and gasped. Before me lay the most beautiful sight! There were five acres of flowers ！ "But who has done this?" I asked Carolyn. "It's just one woman," Carolyn answered. "That's her home," Carolyn pointed to a well-kept A-frame house that looked small and modest in the midst of all that glory. We walked up to the house. On the patio(庭院)，we saw a poster. "Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking" was the headline.

The first answer was a simple one. "50, 000 bulbs (鱗茎)，"it read. The second answer was, "One at a time, by one woman. " The third answer was, "Began in 1958."
