You may have known several kinds of police, traffic police, and street police. But have you ever heard of energy-saving (节能) policemen?
A group of 22 of these new policemen went to work last week in Beijing. They go around the city to see the use of energy in hotels, office buildings, shopping centers and other public places. One of their aims is to make sure that these places have set their air conditioning (空调) no cooler than 26 ℃.
"If everyone sets their air conditioning at 26 ℃, Beijing will save 400 million kilowatt-hours of electricity in one summer. That's one-third of all the usage of the city in the season," said a TV advertisement.
Other Chinese cities, like Wuhan in Hubei Province and Yangzhou in Jiangsu Province, are going to follow Beijing's steps in setting up a similar police team.
From 1986 to 2005, China met 20 warm winters. It means that Chinese cities have to spend billions of yuan solving the environmental problems every year.
At the beginning of this month, China made its first action plan to fight pollution. It aims to reduce energy usage by 20％ and increase renewable energy up to 10％ from 7％ by 2010.
To introduce a green life to the public, Beijing also held a show on energy-saving technology and productions last week. It attracted lots of attention.
"We want to tell people that there are certain ways to protect the environment. Each of us can find right ways to do it in our daily lives," said Liu Qianguang, an environmental engineer in Beijing.
The job of the energy-saving policemen is ___________.
| A．to set the air conditioning cooler |

Me Before You is my favorite romance（浪漫）novel by British writer Jojo Moyes．It tells the story of Louisa Clark and William Traynor（known as Will）．At the end of the book，Will dies and leaves Louisa a lot of money．What happens next？You can find out in the book's sequel（续集）After You．
Will wants Louisa to use the money to live her life happily and richly﹣to travel，discover new chances and continue her education．However，Louisa is too sad and finds it difficult to forget Will．Louisa now works at a bar in an airport，watching people fly to amazing places．Her boss is really unfriendly and she lives in an apartment that doesn't feel like home．

Jojo Moyes wrote After You because she wanted to give her characters from Me Before You a future．Her use of language is as descriptive（描写性的）and powerful as that in Me Before You．One special quote（引文），"Because me being here sort of means you're still here"，deeply touched me．I think this line is really emotional（有感染力的）and powerful．
