The improvement of this phenomenon is certainly not easy. With an eye on practical implementation and cost effectiveness, I propose that society make it clear in every way that people who fail to respect the common good will be seriously punished. Stricter policies for this should be made to correct this phenomenon as soon as possible.

　　近幾年來，中國大城市特別是北京的汽車污染問題越來越嚴重，有人提出每月少開一天車的建議，你如何看待。

　　1． 北京的汽車污染越來越嚴重

　　2． 人們提出了哪些建議

　　3． 我如何看待這個問題

　　Having over 2,600,000 motor vehicles, Beijing is worthy of the name, the city on four wheels. However, we are also paying a direct price for the rising number of cars as we have more traffic accidents, we have to suffer more traffic jams and we breathe dirtier air.

　　To improve this situation, people have come up with various suggestions. Many Beijing's environmentalists are calling on car owners to stop their engines for one day each month. Some government officials also suggest to make the prices of gasoline even higher to motivate car drivers to take public transportation to save money.

　　Though I am a car lover, I can’t not ignore the fact that cars pollute the environment and strongly support driving less. If every car owner drives one day less a month, it would help to reduce exhaust fumes and we will be able to enjoy more blue sky days. Sometimes the smallest changes can make a big difference.

　　E: 學生會公告

　　This time of year most students are focused on meeting new friends, joining new activities and upcoming classes. Thoughts of the past easily drift away while future exploits receive the most attention. But as you busy yourself with the new semester, pause a moment to remember the famous writer, Lu Xun, who would have celebrated his 124th birthday today.

　　In commemoration of this great man’s life, the Book Club has organized a guest speaker from Peking University to come speak to students about some of Lu Xun’s unpublished memoirs. The lecture will be in Classroom 204 in the main building, starting at 7:00 pm.

　　Such an academic lecture might not seem like the most appealing way to spend a Friday evening, but it promises to be an evening that will both entertain and inform even the most seasoned students of Chinese history.
