6.Why does Qian Liwei think production should not be reduced?

8. What are many people willing to do according to Qian Liwei?
Because jobs will be lost. People are more important
than fish and trees. Line 41-42He says we need better laws to preserve the environment and still allow our country to grow. Line 45Many people are willing to pay a little higher prices for things that are friendly to the environment. Line 48-49Part 2People often have the belief that development is bad for the environment. Line 32-33Many places have been destroyed.Many plants and animals have died.Factories produce large amounts of harmful chemicals, which goes into the atmosphere and makes us sick.
Other types of waste flow into water and kill river and sea life.Fishing boats catch large numbers of fish without giving them time to lay eggs.The world’s population has grown by six times what it was in 1800.The figure is now about 7 billion people.People should try to cut back on production and reduce the amount of things they make and buy.It would be good to increase the amount of things that can be recycled, and teach people ways of living that do not harm the environment. We may even create more jobs and help our country become more developed at the same time.Many factories and industries control the amount of pollution they produce,and are very careful to spend money repairing any damage they cause.The people operating these factories are deeply concerned about the environment.If we cut back on the quantity of things we produce in order to save the environment,then jobs will be lost.People are more important than fish and trees.We should produce more things from recycled materials,and less from raw materials.We need better laws to preserve the environment and still allow our country to grow.This includes controls on how many trees are cut down and how many fish are caught.Factories which pollute the environment should have to pay higher taxes.Put the subjects each speaker talks about
in the correct order.Lin Shuiqing
