Cars make our lives more convenient. But they can also be a problem. For example, fossil fuel(化石燃料) cars mainly cause air pollution.

To improve the environment, many countries are developing electric vehicles (EVs, 电动车). Among them, China is taking a leading role and has created the world's largest EV market.

Last year, over 40 percent of the 753,000 EVs sold in the world were sold in China, more than twice as many as the number sold in the United States.

"Filling up a fossil fuel car with gas(汽油) is more expensive than charging (充电) an electric car," said Wu Hao, who bought an electric car this year.

However, there are still some problems. It can be hard to find charging piles(充电桩) and the cars can't go far before needing to be recharged.

Some of these problems are being solved. In 2014,China had 31,000 charging piles. Now China has the world's largest EV charging network, with more than 167, 000 charging piles in total.

Developing EVs is one of many efforts that China has made to cut down pressure on its environment after the government promised to stop increases in carbon dioxide emissions(二氧化碳排放量) by 2030.

"As China goes, so will the world's car industry," The Wall Street Journal said. China has taken a leading role in the world's electric vehicle industry.

It was one of the honest days of the dry season. There was no rain for about a month. Cows stopped giving milk. On this day I saw a wonder.

I was making lunch when I saw my six-year-old son Billy walking very slowly to the woods. Minutes later, he ran to the house. Soon after that, I saw him walking to the woods again. This went on for an hour. Finally I walked out of the house quietly and followed him.

Billy cupped(窝成杯状)both hands in front of him as he walked, careful not to drop the water he carried. Then I saw an amazing sight. Several large deer stood in front of him. Billy walked right up to them. I saw a tiny baby deer lying on the ground. It was dying of thirst, and it lifted its head to drink the water in my boy's hands.

When the water was gone, Billy ran back to the house. I followed him to the tap. Billy turned it on and let the water slowly fill up his "cup". When he stood up and turned, I was there in front of him. His eyes were filled with tears. "I'm not wasting water, Mum," he said. I joined him with a bottle of water from the kitchen. I let him walk to the baby deer alone while I stood meters away. As tears rolled down my face, they were suddenly joined by other drops… and more drops... as if the sky itself was crying.
