    The office worker of Environmental Protection said earlier this week that there were several 8 reasons behind the widespread haze：unpleasant weather conditions making9 difficult for smog to disappear，automobile exhaust(尾气)，and coal use for winter heating．

    To fight pollution，the Chinese government now plans to clean up the air by cutting coal use，10 some factories，and removing 6 million old cars from the roads．

     “We must face up to the facts，”said Yan Naiqiang，a professor of environmental science at Shanghai Jiao Tong University．“The treatment of smog will be a long fight． From now on，if we use buses or cars less and do more tidin9，we believe a clear sky is not a faraway dream．”

Fans like to call Wan 9“Er Yuan” because he is a funny guy who's always telling dry jokes．But when he starts to sin9，you'd be thrilled by his clear voice and high pitch(高音)．The cheerful boy lives a simple life．He doesn't like to compare himself with others．His mobile phone cost only 300 yuan．He's a big fan of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf．He has watched every Pleasant Goat movie at the cinema．

If you are going lo Europe. you might consider taking some time to visit Provence(普罗旺斯)．Whether you are interested in beautiful places，ancient history, good food, or music and theater, Provence has something to offer to you．

Provence is in the southeast of France．You will be attracted by its green hills，olive(橄榄) trees，and old towns with pretty houses．Visitors can find forests，colorful flowers，horses，and people with smiles there．Provence is also“the city of dream in Europe．”Some people say it is Provence that makes France so romantic．The place should play an important part in the romantic stories.

    The Flowers：Provence is the hometown of lavenders(薰衣草)and sunflowers．Lavender means “ waiting for love”．It also means beautiful．The mountains of Lubero is the most beautiful area across France．And there are also many kinds of lavenders．Compared with the fantastic flowers Lavender，sunflower is a lot warmer．Under the sunlight，thousands of yellow sunflowers are smiling at the sun．

The Food：The people there are well-known for keeping their traditional lifestyles．And in the restaurant．you will have the experience of eating the food that has too much use of olive oil．The food is fresh and healthy．All the things make Provence become the heaven to those who like delicious food．

The other activities：Provence is the Kingdom of city．They hold many parties，dance，and festivals．You can even see a bullfight(斗牛)in the towns of Arles and Nimes，or enjoy great shows with the famous stars．

    May to July are the best tourist months．Not only the red sky，the sweet smell of olive，but also the wonderful lavenders，make Provence send out the breath of romantic．

    Jackie visited his grandparents on their farm．And he was playing with a slingshot(弹弓)in the woods．He practised in the WOODS but he could never hit the target．As he was walking back，he saw Grandma's pet duck．Without thinking，he shot，hit the duck in the head．and killed it．He was very afraid．He knew Grandma loved the duck．She would be sad or even angry if she knew that her duck was killed．He then hid the dead duck under a tree．His sister Susan saw it all．but she said nothing．

    After lunch that day Grandma said，“Susan，let's wash the dishes．”But Susan said，“Grandma．Jackie told me he wanted to help in the kitchen today，didn't you，Jackie?”And then she whispered(小声说)to him，“Remember the duck?”So Jackie did the dishes．

    Later Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing，but Grandma said，”I'm sorry but I need Susan to help clean the house．”But Susan smiled and said，“Well，that's all right because Jackie told me he wanted to help．”And she whispered again，“Remember the duck?”So Susan went fishing with Grandpa and Jackie stayed．

    These “remember the duck” went on for many days．Then finally Jackie couldn't stand it any longer．He came to Grandma and told her that he had killed the duck．She gave him a hug，and said，“Sweetheart，I know．You see，I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing．But because I love you，I forgave you．But I just wanted to see how long you would let Susan make a slave of you．”

Some people believe that schools will no longer be necessary in the near future．They said that because of the Internet and other new technology，there is no longer any need for school buildings，classes or teachers．Perhaps this will be true one day，but if the world has no schools，I can't imagine how our society will be． In fact，we should learn how to use new technology to make schools better．We should invent a new kind of school that is linked to libraries，museums，science centers，labs and even companies．Technological companies should create learning programs for schools．Scientists or professors could give talks through the Internet．TV networks and local stations could develop programs about things students are actually studying in school．Labs could set up websites to show new technology so students could see it on the Internet．

Is this a dream? No．There are already many cities where this is beginning to happen．Here the whole city is linked to the Internet，and learning can take place at home，at school，and in the office．Businesses provide programs for the schools and the society．The schools provide computer labs for people without their own computers at home．Because everyone can be on the Internet，older people use it as much as younger ones．And everyone can visit distant libraries and museums as easily as nearby ones．How will this new kind of school change the usual way of learning? It is too early to be sure，but it is very exciting to think about it．Technology will change the way we learn; schools will change as well; and we will all learn something from the Internet．
