Qiu Baoxing, Vice-minister of Construction Of China, has said that our country is "facing a more serious water crisis(危机) than any other country in the world." And the Chinese government would raise the cities' waste water treatment rate(率)from 45.6% t0 60% in five years.

"Because water plays such an important role in our country's economy(经济)and people's life, we must pay much attention to it. We have to solve the problem before it is too late." warned Qiu. He said China should learn lessons from developed countries. They have paid heavy costs in solving the environment pollution, "We must take action before the city water ecosystem collapses(生态恶化)." Qiu said.

Qian Yi, professor of environmental engineering,' said that two problems--the shortage of water resources(资源)and the pollution of water cause China's water crisis. He said China's present water availability is still low, about a fourth of the world average level. By 2030, the number will drop much. What's worse, among China's seven main rivers, five have been seriously polluted. The worst is the Haihe River near Beijing and Tianjin.

  Qiu Said that the government is improving the city water, controlling strictly water quality and safety. The Ministry of Construction of China is now working with the Ministry of Health to work out a new set of standards(标准)for drinking water to keep people healthy.

    We recycle(回收利用)rubbish, so why not language? Recycling language means using vocabulary that you have learnt before again and again. However, unlike rubbish that piles up(堆积)in our environment. if we do not recycle language, we simply forget it. So how do you recycle language?

There are basically three ways to do it. The first is through reading. Go back to your favourite articles and read them once more. Just reread them and do not worry about each vocabulary item. If there are some that you are not sure about, make a guess and you will probably guess right. The second way to recycle is through writing. Look at some of your favourite articles and write either a short paragraph or a few sentences in your own words. After you have done this a few times, go back and read through what you have written, checking vocabulary functions. Don't worry if you have made mistakes. That s how you learn. The third way to recycle language is by having an imaginary chat with yourself about your favourite articles at home. You can pretend there is someone with you who speaks English and tell him what you are thinking about or how you feel.
