The Chinese government has recently decided to develop central and western China.
This part of China includes 8 provinces and autonomous regions and one municipality, covering an area of 5.4 million square kilometers with a population of 285 million.
The government will pay special attention to its transportation. Some highways and railways will be built. To protect the nature, farmers will return farmland to forest. Also, measures should be taken to prevent pollution. Western China is rich in natural resources, which can be exploited and made full use of. To meet the need of the development, all kinds of experts and skilled workers are to be brought in.
We have every reason to believe that the development will be a great success. As a result of the great project, Central and western regions of China will surely achieve better and faster development in the new century. The people will have a better life and China will surely be richer and stronger.

Stepping into a pool of water is common enough, but who could ever imagine stepping into a pool of fish? In February of 1974, Bill Tapp, an Australian farmer, saw a rain of fish that covered his farm. How surprised he must have been!
What caused this strange occurrence? This is a question that had long puzzled people who study fish. The answer turned out to be a combination of wind and storm. When it is spring in the northern part of the world, it is fall in Australia. Throughout the autumn season, terrible storms arise and rains flood the land. The strong winds sweep over Australia like huge vacuum cleaners (吸尘器) collecting seaweed, pieces of wood, and even schools of fish. Strong winds may carry these bits of nature for many miles before vacuum dropped them on fields, houses, and astonished people.
Although they seem unusual, fish-falls occur frequently in Australia. When Bill Tapp was asked to describe the scene of fish, he remarked, "They look like millions of dead birds falling down." His statement is not surprising. The wonders of the natural world are as common as rain. Nature, with it infinite wonders, can create waterfalls that flow upward and fish that fall out of the sky.

WHAT causes traffic jams? Too many cars, right? No! Some Brits are now saying that traffic lights are to blame for much of the congestion. They suggest that traffic lights be removed at busy intersections. The Conservatives are proposing that white lines, signs and traffic lights be removed from Britain's high streets. They believe people are a better judge of when it's safe to go , not a traffic light programmed by an absent regulator. A report from the Institute of Economic Affairs, a UK think tank, argues that abolishing traffic signals would decrease congestion, reduce exhaust ( 排气 ) emissions and improve safety. The report said that removing lights would also prevent other bad behavior caused by signals, such as speeding up to catch a green light or rushing to avoid red lights. It would also avoid the wasted time when drivers have to sit at a red light even if no one is using the green.
The idea may sound strange, but it's not new. Seven cities and regions in Europe are experimenting with no-lights roads.
Drachten in the Netherlands has gotten rid of 16 of its traffic light crossings and converted the other two to roundabouts under a "shared space" scheme. At junctions ( 交叉处 ), cyclists dutifully raise their arm when they want to make a turn, and drivers follow a first-arrived, first-through approach and communicate by hand signs, nods and waving. The result? Typical journey time has been cut in half, and accidents and congestion have mostly disappeared. There have been small collisions but no problem, said Hans Monderman, initiator of the scheme. "We want small accidents, in order to prevent serious ones. It works well because it's dangerous. The driver has to be responsible for his or her own risk. "The many rules strip（夺去） us of the ability to be considerate. We're losing our capacity for socially responsible behavior," Monderman added. So far, Drachten's residents have called the experiment a success. "I am used to it now," said Helena Spaanstra, 24. "You drive more slowly and carefully, but somehow you seem to get around town quicker." Tony Ooostward, 70, was equally enthusiastic. "I am a walker and now you are the boss at the crossroads: everyone waits for you. But at the same time pedestrians wait until there are a number of people wanting to cross at the same time." Owen Paterson, UK's Shadow Transport Minister, visited Drachten. He said Britain should learn from the model. "The idea is to create space where there is mild anxiety among everyone so they all behave cautiously. No one thunders along at 130mph on a high street thinking that they have priority." The model is being tested in London's Kensington neighborhood. 21ST

“Time and tide waits for no man.” is a proverb that is well known by all.Simple as it is, it tells an everlasting truth of life. Since time never stops for anyone or anything. How can people make good use of it?
People may have different attitudes towards it. Some think time is never to be used up. If today ends, there is still tomorrow. So they often leave today’s work till tomorrow. In the end they will succeed in nothing. Some people have opposite opinion.They know the limit of time, so they think the time used on study and work takes only a small part, which really counts.
Time is limit and precious for us senior grade –three sudents , so it is necessary that we should make full use of time to master the knowledge we are learning. We should make a good preparation for the entrance examination.
