摘要: (河南省郑州市盛同学校高一第一次月考) China will fine the crew of the country's most expensive movie, "The Promise()" by Oscar-nominated director Chen Kaige, for damaging the environment in an area of outstanding natural beauty, state media said on Wednesday. The producers ignored to carry out an environmental effect report and did not apply for permission to build roads and buildings around Bigu Lake in the southwestern province of Yunnan, the Beijing Youth Daily and other newspapers reported. Though most of the garbage at the site has now been cleaned up and some buildings are pulled down, about 100 concrete pilings are still standing, the newspaper said. It will also take some time for marshland areas around the lake to recover, it added. The paper did not say how much fine will be imposed on the film's crew. "China's current environmental protection laws are not yet perfected, and there is a lack of standards or guidelines for fines for damaging the environment," the newspaper quoted a government environmental watchdog official as saying. Producer and director Chen Kaige's wife, Chen Hong, has refused the charges, saying the crew had left "enough money" for the local government to deal with the consequences. The film, part love story, part kung fu epic, opened in Chinese theatres last December and was nominated for a Golden Globe. Chen first impressed the world stage with his 1993 hit "Farewell My Concubine()." "The Promise" is the most expensive film in Chinese history, with a budget of US$35 million, and was China's official entry in the best foreign film category at the Academy Awards in March.

  Bamboo(竹子)is one of nature’s(自然)most surprising plants.Many people call this plant a tree, but it is a kind of grass.

  Like other kinds of grass, a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground, but it will grow back very quickly.A Japanese scientist reported one bamboo plant which grew 1.5 metres(4 feet)in 24 hours! Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe.There are more than 1000 kinds of bamboo.

  Not all bamboo looks the same.Some bamboo plants are very thin.They may only grow to be a few centimetres wide while others may grow to more than 30 centimetres(1 foot)across.This plant also comes in different colours, from yellow to black to green.

  Bamboo has been used to make many things such as hats and kitchen tools(厨房用具).Because it is strong, bamboo is also used to build buildings.

  Many Asian countries have used bamboo for hundreds of years.They often use bamboo for buildings and supporting(支撑)new buildings and bridges while they are being built.

  In Africa, poor farmers are taught how to find water using bamboo.These African countries need cheap way to find water because they have no money, and their fields often die from no rain and no water.Bamboo pipes(管子)help poor farmers bring water to their thirsty fields without spending a lot of money.
