Linda is a happy girl with a kind heart.
One day Linda’s mother gave her some money to buy her favorite ice-cream. When she arrived at the ice-cream shop, she saw a poor man---he was wearing some old clothes and looked hungry outside the shop. Linda thought he was the poorest man in the world.
Linda looked at the ice-cream in the shop and the man outside and thought for a while. Then she decided to gave the money to the poor man.
The man smiled and said, “ Thank you, little girl. You are very kind. But I’m not a poor man. In fact, I’m the richest man in the town and I sometimes wear some old clothes to see what people will do.”
Then the rich man took Linda to a big shop and said to her.”Choose a gift for yourself, even the most expensive one, if you want.”
Linda asked, “Can I choose two?”
“Of course,” answered the man.
Linda took a big cup of ice-cream for herself and a new coat for the man.

A recently study found people’s lives are made shorter in North China. It is showed the life expectancy(平均寿命) had been cut down by 5.5 years there. Researchers think that the heavy air pollution in China should be to blame(承担责任). It’s really the truth. Our government has already done something. However. it doesn’t seem to work so well.
“Air pollution in China is doing harm to people’s health. The harm is much more serious than we can imagine.” said Chen Yuyu of Beijing University. one of researchers of this study.
Dirty air brings serious problems in North China. In January this year. the air pollution was worse than that in other places. That was caused by rising temperature and waste gas(废气) from coal heating.
Chinese government should strongly fight against air pollution. They should think of more proper ways to deal with the problem. People should be encouraged to take buses. ride bicycles or walk. instead of driving cars. The factories that pollute heavily should be closed.
“We need to improve our environment. although it might be expensive. Protecting our environment means protecting ourselves.” Li Hongbin. another researcher of the study said.
