The one-child policy in our country has made most families much smaller than before. That is to say, there are fewer children in a family. But the population of China is still growing faster. Why? In fact, it’s a serious problem not only in China, but also in the whole world. It’s reported that the world population is expected to reach 9,200,000,000 by 2050. There are two important reasons. First, there are still more and more babies born every year. Next, people in the world can live much longer than before.

After a study showed that one in every ten meals in the country may be cooked in with dirty oil, the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) on Thursday issued an emergency notice （发布紧急通知）to restaurants nationwide, warning them against recycling oil.
The swill-oil is cooking oil refined from kitchen waste that has been recycled. Although it looks clean and clear, it’s actually so dangerous to people’s health that it may cause cancer.
According to a report, the swill-oil business is extremely profitable. Recycling one ton of kitchen waste will produce 130 kg of swill oil. With its price being half that of normal cooking oil, a profit（利润）of 1.5 to 2 billion yuan is produced in the whole swill-oil business in the country every year. The profit is almost 200%, so it’s easy to understand why the business is so hot.
He Dongping, a professor from Wuhan Polytechnic(WHPU) said, “To stop the use of dirty oil should start at its source, kitchen waste. And the first step is to find a good way of collecting kitchen waste.” “However, it might take about 10 years before China could solve the problem completely,” he added.
A. few B. nobody C. many
A. big money-maker
B. common situation
C. terrible thing
A. the biggest problem is that restaurants produce too much kitchen waste.
B. the way of dealing with kitchen waste isn’t good enough now.
C. we can stop the use of swill-oil in a short time if we take it serious.
A. restaurant service
B. food safety
C. eating habits
Several days ago, a Beijing-based IT company fired about 400 people overnight. No one had expected the job cuts, which broke with traditional ways of letting go of workers in China. Moreover, what was special about this case was that the day before the 400 were fired, they all received from their boss a gift—the book “Who Moved My Cheese?”
The book—a bestseller in the US—is being used by men and women to deal with changes in their lives and work. Some large organizations, including Coca-Cola, Kodak and General Motors, ask their employees to read it in order to encourage them to be active towards changes.
Cheese is something related to everyone’s livelihood-Our jobs, the industries we work in, relationships and love as well.
With China’s official entry into the WTO, the whole nation will face up to more changes and challenges. So what we should do once this“cheese”on which we are so dependent is moved?
“Whatever challenges and changes we meet, we should face up to them bravely,” Jiang Hengwei, a civil servant said after reading the book.
Professor Zhang Yang in Renmin University of China agrees. “We should change our way of thinking. The coming competitive foreign companies and products provide us with great chances to learn from them and improve our own products to meet international standards and be more competitive.”
“With hard work and wisdom, we will create a much larger and better piece of cheese.” Zhang smiled confidently.
