1全球气候变暖
As the planet warms, rainfall patterns shift, and extreme events such as droughts, floods, and forest fires become more frequent. Millions in densely populated coastal areas and in island nations will lose their homes as the sea level rises. In Africa, Asia, and else elsewhere, poor people face prospects of tragic crop failures, reduced agricultural productivity, and increasing hunger, malnurition, and disease. It will become even harder to attain the Millennium Development Goals – and ensure a safe and sustainable future beyond 2015 . Climate change is one of the most complex challenges of our yong century.
A “climate-smart”world is possible in our time. Y et, effecting such a transformation requires us to act now, act together, and differently. We must act now, because what we do today determines both the climate of tomorrow and the choices that shape our future. Today, we are emitting greenhouse gases that trap heat in the atmosphere for decades or even centuries. We must act together, because climat change is a crisis of the commons. Climate change cannot be solved without countries cooperating on a global scale to improve energy efficiencies, develop and deploy clean technologies, and expand natural “sinks” to grow green by absorbing gasses. We need to protect human life and ecological resources. Developed countries have produced most of the emissions of the past, and have high per capita emissions. These countries should lead the way by significantly reducing their carbon footrpints and stimulating research into green alternatives.
Much more is needed. We need action on climate issues before it is too late. If we act now, act together, and act differently, there are real opportunities to shape our climate future for a safe inclusive, and sustainable globalization. China will cut carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP by 40 to 45 percent by 2020, taking 2005as the base year. This is no easy task for a country that is undergoing rapid urbanization and industrialization, and cannot be fufilled unless everyone – governments at all levels, private enterprises and individuals –does his/her bit to save energy and other resources and cut their cabon footprint. We do not need to wait for a low-carbon future. It starts now.
变化发展
Lifestyle choices have changed gradually in the past 60 years but exploded in the past three decades. In the 1970s, the CPC decided everything from clothes and
length of hair to what books to read and music to listen.
A huge change is traveling. In 1976, few people traveled within China, let alone abroad. Perceptions of othe countries were limited to the incomplete presentation in the official media. Even in Shanghai, people would stare open-mouthed at foreigners because only a few of them were living in China then. Now foreigners are so common that Chinese don’t even spare them a second glance. Many Chinese have now visited other countries. Every large store in Paris, has at least one Chinese-speaking staff to deal with visitors from China. And at least one of the stores I know has a whole section devoted to Chinese customers. Travel within China has exploded, too. Many domestic flights are often full. Tourist spots are rarely without crowds.
Apartments today are stuffed with domestic appliances undreamed of in the 1970s, when most people aspired to own a watch, a sewing machine, a bicycle and perhaps a simple camera. In the 1980s this expanded to include a fridge. A washing machine, a TV set, a CD player and a vacuum cleaner. Now Chinese consumers have become among the most discerning in the world and like to have the latest gadgets, most of them made in China.
China’s provision of sufficient food and clothing to its large population, one-fifth of the world’s total, is itself a big contribution to world peace and security. China’s rapid development has also provided other countries with extensive market opportunities and thus helped promote a joint development with them. We ar just happpy and prod.

As is vividly demonstrated in the drawing above, a woman star is making advertising fo products of a brand. The star focuses on personal benefits while turning a blind eye on social responsibilities. What the drawing intends to convey is most meaningful and thought-provoking.
The implication of the drawing can be interpreted with respect to the stars’social responsibility and the establishment of credibility. On the one hand, some stars and celebrities lack basic social responsibilities. Stars and celebrities should play a positive role in our daily life since they are considered as social models. However, some stars are so money-oriented that they conduct irresponsible deeds, which cause negative effects in our society. On the other hand, the establishment of credibility needs to be put on the top of our agenda. The misconducts of some stars and
